"Perpetual motion is the motion of bodies that continues forever in an unperturbed system. A perpetual motion machine is a hypothetical machine that can do work infinitely without an external energy source. This kind of machine is impossible, as it would violate either the first or second law of thermodynamics or both."

"The most difficult part of building a perpetual motion machine is figuring out where to hide the batteries."

In the OP device, the ball started it's fall through the hole at the bottom of the bowl. After it's run down the wires, it had to reach a height of higher than the hole in order to get over the lip of the bowl. There's always a catch to these gizmos even if we can't see it here.

i remember watching a show as a kid called Real People and they had a guy who said he had invented an perpetual motion machine. It was similar to some in the videos above where a wheel would rotate pushing weights out on the downward cycle and pulling them in on the upward cycle. He was an old guy and had hobbied with that idea for years arriving at this design.

I've always been fascinated with the idea since. I wanted to try to play with a generator, motor and gears where the generator's power output was more than the motor consumed. As a young boy I was convinced you could do it. I saw the free energy video listed, there are several variations of it on youtube, and its fun to watch other people break down where they trick you with editing or hide a cord, etc.,

I wonder how many inventions have been created because no one ever told the guy it was impossible to accomplish?

Until one can do actual “work” the designs are useless. The best one I’ve seen in person uses magnets and gyroscopic motion. It is running a generator producing a surprising amount of electricity. It’s been “running” for about 5 years now in a lab up in Denver. But even the designers and builders admit it will eventually lose momentum and stop at some point.

I thought you were going to post a picture of a government money printing device.


Progressives are the most open minded, tolerant, and inclusive people on the planet, as long as you agree with everything they say, and do exactly as you're told.

Not really, since all the motion that seems to be going on forever in the universe is being driven by residual energy from the Big Bang.

Available on Amazon, but they all say that they take a small hidden battery, which indicates it's a gimmick designed to fool people into believing it's a perpetual motion device.
