This engine, one of the simplest and most unpretentious (at first glance), has been discussed for a long time in the forums of the Internet communities of alternative energy enthusiasts. The mechanism is so-called "self-rotating", that is, it has a superunit effect. Or, as it is described on the forums: it has a positive gravitational-mechanical feedback, which ensures the rotor rotation continuity.
V-Gate Magnet Motor.
The operation of this motor is provided by a special "design" magnetic field generated on the rotor, which is repelled by the fields of the stator magnet. It is the interaction of these fields that makes the rotor spin. The torque arises from the special shape of the arrangement of the rotor magnets - in the form of the letter V. Therefore, such a motor is called the V-Gate Magnet Motor.

The design is based on a rotor, on which two rows of magnets are fixed, diverging by an "arrow". The magnets are installed with “posts”, one row of which “looks at the world” with “north” magnetic poles, and the other with “south” ones. A special crossbar is placed on top of the structure, on which a magnet is also fixed along its entire length (which is the stator). The rotor magnets are attracted by this magnet, due to the special arrangement, the attractive force is stronger where the rotor magnets are wider from each other.
This is where torque comes in, forcing the rotor to turn. As already mentioned, in the widest place of the location of the magnets - "columns" the attraction is strongest, so much so that the rotation of the rotor can stop at this point. But the specially located crescent crank raises the bar at this moment, forcing the rotor to slip past the dead center. And the crank itself, falling, starts the cycle of the initial rotation of the rotor from the beginning.

Enthusiastic researchers of this mechanism agree that the famous engines Minato and Ildiz, in their core, most likely use a similar principle. These engines are originally like the V-Gate, low-power, and are capable only of independent rotation, without removing additional energy from them. But they can be used and applied - for example, it is known that Minato installed his mechanism in fans.
