Mystery Magnet Motor Study Part 2

Can anyone solve the puzzle of this mystery magnet motor? Here is my motor setup taken apart to show what I have been working with. These strange all permanent magnet motors seem to be one off designs where no one else can build a running version of it — unless there is a hidden power source. I don’t care if there is a hidden power source the machine are usually very interesting and fun to study.
Here is another video of the magnet motor I am studying with a description by the inventor of how it works. I think that there is something missing. What do you think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHty4r697DI&t=28s
This beautiful Russian 3D printed version almost runs. It appears (to me) to run longer than it should have before it stops. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RHKpZUqlu0&feature=youtu.be
