Over parity machines are nothing new, and there is no reason why they should not work so long as they are incorporating some external force such as magnets. A motor driving a generator driving the motor is of course doomed! What is doubtful is that they will ever be of any use! Tesla had some brilliant stuff happening, I would love to travel back in time to meet him!

It will keep slowing down untill it starts shrinking back into nothing, then it will explode again. That seems perpetual....Gravity at work?
