You have to read the article to understand what is really going on. There is an electric motor that goes faster when a magnet is moved near it. No one knows why. The only people mentioning "perpetual motion" are the journalists trying ot attract attention to their writing. The inventor makes no such claims. The commercial applications are for more efficient electric motors. Neatorama is not helping clarify the issue by its article or its title, although the link is appreciated. My guess is that the magnet cancels an induced field that limits the electric motor.
