You might be interested to read a brief introduction to the subject that I wrote for a web site:

Still sounds like a duck to me.
Apologies if this has been already posted, but if not the 'Window Socket' deserves a place here:

Amazing product. It will charge your smartphone in less than 6 months*...
(*Scientifically measured in a certified laboratory, simulating 24h-sunshine-day-without-night cycles.)
Theoretically it does work, provided the load is well under 1W.

With the size of that solar panel I'd say the load would have to be well under 1 mW...
1W, at the equator, at noon, facing up and with a window glass 0.1mm thick. On a good day, with luck.
It says once charged it lasts up to 10 hours, so I assume there's a lipo battery inside, a DC-DC boost converter to get the high voltage, and a square wave AC inverter. Even so, it's a feat if it actually delivers on its promises.
It may take 3 days to charge though
So black paint in a bottle..........
Attention: This product is no longer available for sale.
It's application is limited exclusively to the Altmann Superlative DAC, the Altmann Attraction DAC, the Altmann BYOB amplifier and the Altmann Deliberate Creation ADC.
Hmm... I wonder why it's no longer available...
I love the name "Altmann Superlative DAC". I can think of a few superlatives...
I wonder what kind of horsepower they need to turn that crankshaft... eek.
Eager to hear what kind of excuses they will make once the whole thing is finished and ready to run, lack of proper grease ? 
Or the establishment conspiring against them so they couldn't finish building it / weren't allowed to finish it / couldn't obtain that one specific magic part needed to magically push the leavers back up against gravity.
It's scary that someone who is able to design such a contraption is using the words "perpetual machine". They are probably out there designing bridges and skyscrapers for our "benefit".
Provided the roller-bearings are good they will undergo a testing stage where the shaft will be spun up without load and continue to spin for a while, thus proving the concept. Unfortunately once the load is attached it will take some time for it to sync with the gravity field of the earth, thus requiring constant rewinding of the shaft.
If it works it will be nice, but otherwise it will be a very nice piece of kinetic are, worthy of a place in some exhibit at least. Will need to be a big hall though, looking at the size of the cranes used in assembly.
This looks like a government funded/assisted "make-work" project, meaning that it exists to keep a number of people employed for a few years, with the help of government and private funding. The project will go on until it's no longer viable, and then it will cease to be... that will take about 10-15 years... each year the corporation will do a sales pitch get more funding, because they are "almost there".... In the end, nothing will come of it.

Well, "IF" it works, expect the whole world will feel a bit lighter, cause that machine is sucking and consuming the earth's gravity.
About that machine placed in the perpetual engines hall of
fame shame if it failed, don't think the owner will love this idea.
Don't be so cynical.
I think it is going to work.
Look how BIG it is!
