  • A perpetuum mobile can't work because someone already would have built it if it would be possible. But people forget that there is friction and it needs more weight to get more force of gravity. It also would need a constant speed and not that hard push! Then it would run with low energy input from outside.. I think so...

  • idea is great but it is in wrong hands, do you see, it not turning on ANY position, not enough weight and too much grip on transmission

  • Hamster wheel. But, you are to big to fit in. :-) LOL

  • what if the problem is that the hands are too short. On the other video they were much longer!

  • Guys. Don't flame. This was made to prove that this other guy's video DIDN'T work.

  • Powered by a sandwich lol

  • Its soo efficient it dsn't turn Once .. I can take a pen on a string and it will turn more times ..

  • What the hell is that?

  • a little bit more of oil...

  • Hey, handy hint for a gravity machine, try and work with gravity, not against it, i.e why the f**k did you spin it anti clockwise. also, you have to exaggerate proportions. furthermore, K'nex aren't really useful when trying minimize friction.

  • @nickmanqwerty1

    It wouldn't work no matter how much you exaggerate. If the weights are equal, it wouldn't matter what direction you spun it and the gears are so small in size. This type device might work if it was the size of the moon near a Pulsar. Just sync the gravitational attraction of the weights with the rotation factor of the Pulsar and it might work. Heavy emphasis on the MAYBE (Read: Will most likely fail).

  • Maybe.... just maybe...... you should use something other than K'nex.

  • idk if K'nex count as scientific aparatus...

  • frictions says no =P

  • you forgot the magnets, thats what propels the device

  • Fraction is a BITCH !!!

  • @angelfist0800 friction is too =p hehe

  • This sucks....

  • The reason this doesn't work can be explained mathematically. Lets just pull a few numbers out of our ass for weight on both sides. Lets say the left side (which would be heavier) weighs 30 and the right side equals 20. The separation of these lines are directly vertical between the two. Both sides want to be equal so, each time it rotates it displaces the weight by a number until both sides are equal. After that neither side wants to move because there is no displacement of weight.

  • stop filling internet with videos of things that do not work!!!

  • K'nex never works

  • is that Obely One Knowbley doing the pushing.

  • you wont get that to work unless you can counter the friction and its not sturdy enough even if it started to move you would lose power from the flex of the structure. same principles as a race car you dont want the frame to flex thats loss of torque which is power. come on use your head.

  • maybe if u made it right instead of out of knex. than maybe it could have worked. talk about low budget building :P

  • This is why they have rehearsals.

    Nitwit.

  • looks like u need some wd 40

  • More oil :-) vaseline

  • you need more weight on the hanging thingys , i saw the model you replicate and i'm sure this is it's key

  • as the wheel comes down the wate needs to the outside of the wheel and when it goes up to the inside of the wheel

  • arffff mdr j'y crois...

  • People just don't!. Don't test others ideas. Perpetuum mobile is question of individual power within an inventor over the matter. Personally I can tall you that some devices which worked did stop working theoretically and practically when I allowed myself that such ideas have been stolen from me. Stolen or taken - it depends on point of view. Sudden they became impossible. Your perpetuum m. must be worked out you. Maybe this is a path to uncover how world works. A way to gain specific memory.

  • Holy crap, a device that perpetually runs with only a push from your hand every few seconds!!!  It's amazing!!

  • @SuperflyMcNinja the idea was to show why this kind of device wouldn't work..

  • i dont know why you would expect anything from tinker toys.

  • this wheel doesn´t work because the masses move symmetrical. there is no differential in moventum between them this way. each mass balance each other out.

    has nothing to do with friction.

  • @coldarc Click the link to see how it's SUPPOSED to look. Friction IS the only problem, because the gears are aligned so precisely that the arms will constantly hold weight on one end.

  • Comment removed

  • @Justeazy8 the video in the link has a gearing that is logical to make it keep its motion from become symmetrical toward the center of gravity. the video in the lego demonstration does not have the right gearing. ther is nothing in it that prevents the masses from balance. the system have to remain asymmetrical to work. each mass have to avoid the center of gravity. read informaiton on the internet about Johann Ernst Elias Bessler gravity wheel to get some clues to how a gravity wheel can work.

  • dude how old are you?? stop playing with toys

  • You can only get something to work, if you use the virtual

    centrifugal forces and convert them somehow into rotational forces.

    Also use springs with it to store the forces and movements.

    Only with levers and torque arms you will never get anything selfrunning !

    Regards, Stefan.

  • lol :D

  • что это было?

  • I like the way it grinds to a hault after you spin it. That is sa weet.

  • EPIC FAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

  • too much friction. it might would work better if its out of metal. but everyone knows tht a perpetuum mobile is impossible too build, because energy cant be produced.

  • You can learn some physics here.

    Despite being always heavier on one side than the other, the unit never want's to turn. Why is that?

    Well, it's because it will only turn if it can get into a lower energy state. An unbalanced object might fall over if its centre of gravity could get lower and thus loose energy. But in this case the C of G never gets any lower. So despite being unbalanced it won't rotate unless you push it.

  • problem 1, using knex, a soft plastic material that generates lots of friction?

    problem 2, in no way did i see it turn on its own.

    problem 3, your design seems like you just wanted weights to make it go forever.

  • KNEX :D

  • If you want perpetual motion just give a 4yo a capuchino and a puppy.

  • the flaw in this design is that the friction in the gears slows it down to a stop even without them it still woudnt be perpetual

  • Welcome to real-world physics, also known as friction.

  • stop playin with toys. youre a grown man...

  • @bb7827 You know what you can do with this toy if your a kid or a grown man? Then go to SSCoasters net it will prove to you that it is for everyone of all ages. (space = dot)

  • K'nex creates way to much friction? For a perpetual motion machine, way to much meaning anthing greater than zero.

  • K'nex will never make a perpetual machine.

    Because It creates way to much friction, Not all pieces weigh exactly the same and they bend.

    This would be possible if it was made perfect with very precise cuts and using some lubrication. (But it wouldn't go forever)

    Nice try though, I love K'nex I ain't got it out in ages tho

  • dont you think k'nex is a bad material for building a complexe mechanism?

  • fail. go to learn the school. and get P. mobile is impossible!

  • @Increazon stfu the point of this video is to disprove another video

  • @Increazon People like you slowing the system

  • @Increazon it is posible but under inpposible conditions ....

  • I don't think its perpetual motion when you have to do work. That is a generator.

  • @gblax123 When will people learn to read the description

  • @espulu i understand its a model, but still why is he pushing it?

  • @gblax123 To prove it doesnt work

  • the center wheel receives the weight of the sides wheel, and the weight in the sides wheel is always the same

  • I am not amused by this faggotry

  • these idiots... gah lol! the bars that stick out the side making the left side "heavier" do not add to the left side's weight. Because they are ultimately attached to the CENTER of the wheel, ALL of their weight is transferred to the machine through that one pivot. Thus, the bars jutting out the side to not add weight OVER THERE <--- but they add it to wherever they make contact with the wheel.

  • Fail.

  • Comment removed

  • @lieberman70

    EPIC FAIIL!!!

  • the point of it is that the left is always heaver, u need the arm things longer and not to use knex, other than that nice work

  • lol i think i failed becoz u used knex... it has allot of friction loss

  • need to be heavier blatantly i hope u havnt taken it apart yet
