The trick is the large wheel. The scoops on the lower left are shielded from the wind so that the machine can maximize wind power at the top of the wheel. An interesting piece of kinetic art, it is. Perpetual motion, it is not.
its not even perpetual motion, its clearly wind assisted it slows down when theirs less wind and speeds up when their is more, if the wind stopped it would stop. bad troll is bad
@eithanyakobi I see this stupid comment on alot of overunity clips. This is nonsense, if anyone follows your advice, they are only going to spend lots of time and money on stuff that doesnt work and get discouraged from the topic. Anyone trying to produce overunity devices I would start by recommending they read everything and anything there is to know about plasma. As an overunity device can be made fairly cheap and easy using vacuum tubes with pulsed dc you will get great results
So it turns out it would take a little over a year for .5 grams of mercury to evaporate at 68F. With enough mercury, some great energetic profit could be made.
Oh good lord, what is the future of the world coming to? All of you who think this is an actuall perpetual motion device - you obviously failed basic science, or you have no education at all. The machine is just for fun - there is an electric fountain pump pushing the water from the tub up to the faucet spout. No device exists that can infinitely self-propel. There must be an external energy source, or a consumable energy source. Please go back to school or just keep dreaming.
If they made HUGE versions of things similar to this (I have seen them with magnets) we could all have free electricity. Would they every do this? NOPE. If someone did it on their own to supply a city what would happen to them? probably be arrested or fined millions of dollars for doing a good service.

No such thing as perpetual motion I heard someone say, yet are we not spinning on a big perpetually spinning ball? You can debate and say at some time to come the sun may go nova and eat earth or a comet big enough may crush earth but all in all its still perpetual. If earth is not then is anything else in space? What about the electrons around atoms?
@stevensrd1 "perpetual motion" means a zero-sum system. No energy in, no energy lost. Supernovas and comets are irrelevant. The orbit of the moon, for instance, is unstable. It's slowly spinning away from the earth (at the rate of a few centimeters per year). It is close to perpetual, but there is friction in the system, so it's not perfect.
Electrons don't orbit around the nucleus of an atom. Diagrams that show it that way are incorrect. It's a model - useful, but not accurate.
@JuryDutySummons I understand your point of view, but i see it all around us, in nature, in the rain rising and falling. To me perpetual is a transfer of energy from one state into another and from that angle its everywhere in everything and always repeating. Of course we could say the atmos clock is perpetual, in a way even tho it is atmospheric pressure and temperature changes that power it. Maybe Ill get one of those some day lol.
well when you look into it it shows its a nice system, very impressive, and will stun any person who know nothing about this. but as soon as you start to analyze and look efectivelly, the machines do slow down on time until it stop completely.
Pay attention.. each time the water pickup gets to the top it is slower and slower. At the end of this video, i would say another 2 - 3 revolutions it would have stopped. Very nice video and contraption though. By far one of the neatest ones i have seen claiming perpetual motion! Thumbs up from me!!
... water, steel, wood, plants and all the stuff you see here and there in your room are as "ice'... temporarily Frozen phases of REALITY.

That is up to its creator to tell us. What a delightful work of art! Congratulations.
Everything looks legit except for how the water manages to make it all the way up to the storage tank which is MUCH higher than the water wheel pump. The only possible way I can see it being done is with a drill pump connected to the axle, and also using check valves, but even then you would need more speed on the wheel to get water volume needed. I think this contraption is being fed with a small electric fountain pump which is hidden in the back behind the plants.
now only if perpetual motions machines could be real-_-

you aren't even using the machine in a bloody vacuum thus losing energy by air friction. Which thus means you are claiming to breaking the first law of thermodynamics.

What is perpetual motion? my excuse for such an act of stupidity: im an adolescent (15) and not one person can tell me because i may be an ignoramus but i am still intellectually superior to my peers so i ask once more what is perpetual motion
@liamq12fu Perpetual motion machines are attempts to make devices that will run on continously, this one a water wheel that lifts the water it needs is an old example. Perpetual motion is impossible because you can't get something from nothing, the weight of the water turning the wheel at best could lift the same amount of wieght (it would have to lift more to actually run). Friction also causes any machine to stop after a while unless more energy is added.
There is a better water wheel in my work at 'science forum-scientific discussion and debate' under my name Joshua Stone and pseudoscience or new ideas sections.
See also my short book titled 'The Living Stone', at 'writing.com' and the 'static items' there under my name 'stillseeking' -one word. Its about asking questions and seeking answers.
Very cool. I wonder if the Chinese built something similar in Qin's tomb. It was supposed to have machines like this to drive flowing rivers of mercury.

This is a wonderful demonstration of utilizing the strong adhesion and cohesion properties of water to make a "perpetual"(Point made by DanielMFCribb) motion machine. Though I also believe something like this was made 300 years ago using a vacuum.
@SamuraiBatgirl or it might sound too much like something a supervillan would choose as a substitute. the axels will eventually rust the water will eventually evaporate this isn't perpetual motion unless it violates Newton's first law of thermodynamics.... Energy cannot be created or Destroyed only converted to another form.
@Serostern What kind of ignorance and stupidity brought you to that conclusion? Because you have to add water once every 2 monthes. if it was left outside in the rain it is now a perpetual motion machine. Anything hooked to a solar panel or wind tower PROVES overunity happens everyday.
@Serostern Yes and the solar panel I have I dont put any energy into it, therefore all the energy I get back is more then I put in. Your stupid physics text books are one big lie! It is written to make people believe you have to pay money for everything. Good luck with energy bills for the rest of your life!
@DanielMFCribb and what if we built a container around it so theres no where for the evaporated water to go , then wouldnt it just condence and drip from the container back into the bin?
@JuryDutySummons You could theoretically create this machine to be frictionless, and it would run forever. However no matter which way you build this, you could not extract useful energy from it. It is not perpetual.
It works because less work is done raising water than in the work it does falling. Now make it a horizontally mounted wheel with small dia blades on the top of the disk and blades at the ends of the lower disk, and box it like that. Then feed water from a closet of wide dimensions down to the small blades, and a pipe from just above the baldes of the larger wheel and take that pipe above water level. Use axle center with motor to start it up, turn motor off and it should go forever -- why?
so what happens when the water either needs to be A. refilled - B. goes moldy or C. evaporates? see it's not perpetual at all is it as it still needs an external source to keep on top of the water supply.
@DeadHappyFilm technically there is no such thing as perpetual motion as everything has a "shelf life" so say theoretically one does make a machine that keeps running even till the end of the earth, this very destruction means its not perpetual. lol. i know i know, i'm being silly. lol
Any chance you know "why" this works? Cause I'm still stuck in the "stone ages" with the relation between kinetic energy and potential energy.
I'm pretty skeptical because it was cut. I could spin a wheel, say it has some new 'something' inside it, cut the vid, and spin it again. Saying it was the same spin.
Just saying. The water has to move the vertical distance anyways. it doesn't (or shouldn't) matter what rout it takes. if anything it should be the shortest rout, to minimize the friction.
I think a real perpetual motion machine is actually possible if the machine itself changed shape from time to time. Obviously not possible with hunks of metal. Mathematically it is possible for something to continue forever as long as it gets smaller and smaller. Relative to itself it would still produce the same amount energy. I guess that's kind of like backwards time travel shrinking the traveller.
How do you get the water out of the faucet? Is it just gravity pushing the water down and up through, or is there a motor? Good work, one of the few I actually have hope for! :)
hang on..... do I hear the sound of water flowing??? your perpetual motion machine is leaking energy my friend!!!!! it aint perpetual, you need a flux capacitor for that to capture the water flux or tiny little pixies as we call it in physics...
This guy broke the laws of physics with a bicycle wheel, water, cups, and video editing software. Lmao it will eventually stop. NO such thing as perpetual motion machine.
"Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, "a factitious word alleged to mean 'a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust, causing inflammation in the lungs.[1]'" A condition meeting the word's definition is normally called silicosis."
I once had a dream about a thing like this, so when i woke up a drew it, but i never actually made it because with some calculations i knew the energie the thing made was lower then the energie the water flow had, so in the beginning stage it will all be fine because the difference isn't big, but the longer its flowing the difference gets bigger and then it stops.
The highest water tank will run dry eventually. If you take a look at that specific tank, you'll notice that the flow out is greater than the flow in.
In other words, the water is streaming down in a very ineffective way. Doing so it moves the wheel.
Potential energy transferred into kinetic energy. Nice try though!
There's no way this could work. Maybe it could work freely but if once you hook an alternator up to it, it won't have enough oomph to keep going. Still a good idea, though.
@johmsp You call it inconclusive based on your made up variables. If the machine doesn't use an alternator, don't invent one and call the machine flawed.
@vikingshred Still I'm doubting that it could work freely on its own. The Law of Conservation states that this machine could only give out as much energy as it intakes. Due to gravity it needs more energy to bring the water to the top tank. Plus the water wheel loses energy due to friction. The only way this machine could be perpetual would be if there was no friction nor gravity, and still it would only have enough power to power itself.
@johmsp Close. Although there is energy lost due to friction, gravity has nothing to do with why this machine won't work (which it won't). This machine's movement is entirely gravity based and it would do nothing in a zero g environment. The water wouldn't fall. Now, it is possible to build supposed perpetual motion machines that will run for a very long time, like this one, but without fail they always stop. Perpetual motion is a provable impossibility.
@xXxDiukexXx first i was trying to figure out the same thing but you could follow the machine's path.1)the water falls from the spicket.2)the wheel spins.3)the water falls.4)the water pushes the right wheel opposite the water's motion??? there has to be an external source. and if this machine did work, a paradox comes into play: if its this easy to create a perpetual machine then why aren't we using 1. We cud power cities with a machine that produces infinite energy, even an intergalactic ship.
@DarkLava2007 I don't think it could produce infinite energy. There is a limited amount of energy in the machine which rounds the entire thing. If there was infinite energy then the machine would move at an infinite speed. When you stop the machine, the energy isn't destroyed, it is merely moved. Energy can not be created or destroyed.
Ill agree this machine CAN work in reality. If reality was a vacuum and had no friction in it. There is no way the water can be re-fed to top of the reservoir after falling down. Gravity and friction prevent this from happening. Its basic science that says this is clearly impossible and a fake. There is either a pump forcing the water up into the reservoir or he just fills up the top shoots the video, and cuts and edits it so it looks like it goes on forever. Nice try though.
@twofirstnames92 This reminds me of a fountain made hundreds of years ago. its very simple to understand how this works when you hear it explained. as the water falls into the basin of water, it pushes water through the tube, back to the top. And something to do with air pressure. Or something. haha i dont really remember exactly how it works, go do some research on it :D
Is there ANY science involved with making a statement about something being possible, assuming that you have seen it with your own eyes? I'd like to think so. ^_^
So you're telling me I did NOT see my technology work? If so, you are also implying that you are omnipotent, and where present at the time that I claim to have seen it. Seeing as that is less likely than someone inventing magic, you forfeited any validity right then and there. Making decisions without having made even a single observation. That goes against Scientific Method.
Inferences are for predictions only. They apply nowhere else, except in the eyes of the blind.
@SteroidFilms You're confusing naysayers' conjecture and theories with physical laws. They're two entirely different things.
I don't have to be there to tell you that unity, let alone over-unity, is simply not possible.
And what you tried to own me with wasn't science. If you wanted to own me with science then you would have to show me an equation or law that circumvents or disproves the first and second laws of thermodynamics. THEN you can tell me I've been owned by science.
@SteroidFilms Magnetism is a force and not energy. Whatever machine you have going, it will stop eventually because the only energy in the system is what you put into it by spinning it with your hand. The forces of the magnetism will reach equilibrium once the energy from the initial spin is spent. Really, you should stop wasting your time and money.
@Zeldaschampion Again, magnetism is a force, not energy. They're very different things and should not be confused. Now, magnets do repel each other, but they first have to be forced together using energy. The energy used to force them together will be more than the energy gained after they push away from each other because of friction and drag. Therefore, you will always have to put more energy into a magnetic system than you gain.
@nexus1g I decided to test that theory of yours with a scale. According to the scale it takes much less then half the energy to use against the force of the magnet. Of course I also would point out I was coming from the side not head on.
I am constructing a frame for the machine in my construction class in High School, and it's almost complete. The other components of the machine will be arriving by UPS in about a week, so I have to wait to actually construct it.
I've only build a basic concept for the machine. It involves three magnets. Once I oriented the magnets properly in relation to the center of the ruler, I fixed the pencil in one place and I spun the ruler with my hand. With each revolution, the ruler started moving faster. By the fourth rotation, it was going more than twice as fast as I originally spun it. Then the ruler fell off, obviously because it was not attacked to the pencil in any way. But he technology works.
So if I push a baseball downward from thirty thousand feet above the surface of the earth, will it stop before it hits something? No. It's going to keep going. My machine is quite different. I can only explain it one way: It accelerates by falling sideways, if you're willing to call that possible.
@nexus1g Magnets are great for converting one type of energy to another by moving a magnetic field over a coil of wires. For instance, wind doesn't do us a lot of good, but when the wind spins a turbine with a generator of magnets and coiled wires, we get useful electricity.
What IDIOT said anything about wireless power? I recall saying "cordless". That means it does not plug into the WALL! I was implying an internal generator of my own design that just makes power by itself, and therefore would not need an external cord.
I've designed a perpetual motion machine myself. Not only does it rotate on its own without slowing down, but it accelerates. No fuel input. No maintenance (except for oiling the middle every few months.) Instant, free, infinite electrons. I'll be getting a patent on it soon. By the way, I'm 16 years old. Gonna hate reply because you dont believe me? Cool. Go for it. I'll remember you when I invent the most practical object in the @#%$ing universe! Owned.
Well the design work is done !!! the "new" water wheel looks more like and enclosed turbine, and the wheel starts a siphon process , that feeds 2 beam engine pumps.
The estimated static torque of 600 ftlbs, standing still!! I couldn't believe what was on the drawing board till I ran across Heron's fountain , which of course is 2,300 years old . So I have invented free energy ? NO!!! just rediscovered it !! wow!!!
Perpetual motion will never be possible. Basic physis 101, so knowing this FACT you'll realize every single "perpetual motion" machine/toy is simply a false. There is absolutely no such thing.

It is written to make people believe you have to pay money for everything. Good luck with energy bills for the rest of your life!

It works because less work is done raising water than in the work it does falling. Now make it a horizontally mounted wheel with small dia blades on the top of the disk and blades at the ends of the lower disk, and box it like that. Then feed water from a closet of wide dimensions down to the small blades, and a pipe from just above the baldes of the larger wheel and take that pipe above water level. Use axle center with motor to start it up, turn motor off and it should go forever -- why?

Any chance you know "why" this works? Cause I'm still stuck in the "stone ages" with the relation between kinetic energy and potential energy.
I'm pretty skeptical because it was cut. I could spin a wheel, say it has some new 'something' inside it, cut the vid, and spin it again. Saying it was the same spin.
Just saying. The water has to move the vertical distance anyways. it doesn't (or shouldn't) matter what rout it takes. if anything it should be the shortest rout, to minimize the friction.

I think a real perpetual motion machine is actually possible if the machine itself changed shape from time to time. Obviously not possible with hunks of metal. Mathematically it is possible for something to continue forever as long as it gets smaller and smaller. Relative to itself it would still produce the same amount energy. I guess that's kind of like backwards time travel shrinking the traveller.

The highest water tank will run dry eventually. If you take a look at that specific tank, you'll notice that the flow out is greater than the flow in.
In other words, the water is streaming down in a very ineffective way. Doing so it moves the wheel.
Potential energy transferred into kinetic energy. Nice try though!

There's no way this could work. Maybe it could work freely but if once you hook an alternator up to it, it won't have enough oomph to keep going. Still a good idea, though.

@johmsp You call it inconclusive based on your made up variables. If the machine doesn't use an alternator, don't invent one and call the machine flawed.
vikingshred 7 months ago
@vikingshred Still I'm doubting that it could work freely on its own. The Law of Conservation states that this machine could only give out as much energy as it intakes. Due to gravity it needs more energy to bring the water to the top tank. Plus the water wheel loses energy due to friction. The only way this machine could be perpetual would be if there was no friction nor gravity, and still it would only have enough power to power itself.
johmsp 7 months ago
@johmsp Close. Although there is energy lost due to friction, gravity has nothing to do with why this machine won't work (which it won't). This machine's movement is entirely gravity based and it would do nothing in a zero g environment. The water wouldn't fall. Now, it is possible to build supposed perpetual motion machines that will run for a very long time, like this one, but without fail they always stop. Perpetual motion is a provable impossibility.

We cud power cities with a machine that produces infinite energy, even an intergalactic ship.
DarkLava2007 7 months ago
@DarkLava2007 I don't think it could produce infinite energy. There is a limited amount of energy in the machine which rounds the entire thing. If there was infinite energy then the machine would move at an infinite speed. When you stop the machine, the energy isn't destroyed, it is merely moved. Energy can not be created or destroyed.

Ill agree this machine CAN work in reality. If reality was a vacuum and had no friction in it. There is no way the water can be re-fed to top of the reservoir after falling down. Gravity and friction prevent this from happening. Its basic science that says this is clearly impossible and a fake. There is either a pump forcing the water up into the reservoir or he just fills up the top shoots the video, and cuts and edits it so it looks like it goes on forever. Nice try though.

@twofirstnames92 This reminds me of a fountain made hundreds of years ago. its very simple to understand how this works when you hear it explained. as the water falls into the basin of water, it pushes water through the tube, back to the top.

@SteroidFilms Magnetism is a force and not energy. Whatever machine you have going, it will stop eventually because the only energy in the system is what you put into it by spinning it with your hand. The forces of the magnetism will reach equilibrium once the energy from the initial spin is spent. Really, you should stop wasting your time and money.
nexus1g 8 months ago
@nexus1g what happens if the energy is started from the magnet itself and not from spinning?
Zeldaschampion 7 months ago
@Zeldaschampion Again, magnetism is a force, not energy. They're very different things and should not be confused. Now, magnets do repel each other, but they first have to be forced together using energy. The energy used to force them together will be more than the energy gained after they push away from each other because of friction and drag. Therefore, you will always have to put more energy into a magnetic system than you gain.
nexus1g 7 months ago
@nexus1g I decided to test that theory of yours with a scale. According to the scale it takes much less then half the energy to use against the force of the magnet. Of course I also would point out I was coming from the side not head on.

I've only build a basic concept for the machine. It involves three magnets. Once I oriented the magnets properly in relation to the center of the ruler, I fixed the pencil in one place and I spun the ruler with my hand. With each revolution, the ruler started moving faster. By the fourth rotation, it was going more than twice as fast as I originally spun it. Then the ruler fell off, obviously because it was not attacked to the pencil in any way. But he technology works.
