Thanks to Overtone for this: It apparently has been on display in Europe as a work of art.
If there is
no hidden battery, or other conventional source of energy, it would be
interesting to know the identity of the clever inventor.

The magnetic shield, in the center of the picture, which resembles a propeller, turns. The magnetic flux cannot pass through the shield. When the shield is in front of the magnets, they are attracted, when the shield is no longer in front of the magnets they are pushed away, because the magnets are now in repulsion. Finally the shield is used as a flywheel, repeatedly taking up and then discharging its kinetic energy.
Suitably modified, it can be used to generate electricity!

Le bouclier anti-magnétique qui ressemble à une hélice tourne et est feromagnétique. Le flux magnétique ne peut passer au travers du bouclier. Quand le bouclier est devant les aimants, ceux ci sont attirés, quand le bouclier n'est plus devant les aimants ceux ci se font répoussé car les aimant sont en position répulsive. Enfin ce bouclier sert de volant d'inertie en se chargeant et en se déchargeant en énergie cinétique. Bon il ne reste plus à convertir en électrécité!
