perpetuum mobile

[matejmuzatko]

almost...

[tiroxino]

mal posicionamiento de los brazos !!!!

[unamaxify]

the wheel on my bicycle spins longer,

still its crafty looking contraption

[moegreen2]

I thought of the same thing once, had to calculate it before I understood why it did not work.

[raman1singhdeol]

not possibal love :) gravety and magnetic wheel dont worki tryed 50 desined,

there is a electric motor in the back or someone moving it?

[Flemmli1995]

With a smooth-running axis it runs much better^^

[geordietoddy]

Perpetual motion is not possible. If anyone comes up with an idea that works, I will personally hand over ALL of my disposable income to them for the rest of my life.

It's not that I 'just don't believe', or that 'I work for an oil company', or that I'm 'closed minded' - it's just Physics.

In the words of Richard Feynman: "if you don't like it, go somewhere else....another universe maybe, where the laws aren't so complicated, and are a little easier to understand".

Peace.

[Kokia08]

Put rubber bands on each of the elbows so that it'll pull on the arms when it reaches the top but retracts when it reaches 7 o'clock

[madismet1]

In terms of motion, this machine can be simplified to be a wheel. But, it is much less effective at preserving energy than a simple wheel. In the beginning, it is in a state of non-stable balance (i.e. it has potential energy, just as a spinning wheel has kinetic energy) and a small perturbation (nudge) starts it rolling. If one was to calculate the potential energy and start a regular wheel with the same amount of kinetic energy, they would, theoretically, turn the same amount of time.

[xCurveDBulleTx]

Somebody needs to learn what real "perpetum mobile" is ...

[FrankaDith]

As long as your having fun building stuff ,no harm done so where did you put the elastic? lol

[FPSCclanleader]

not very perpetual, is it?

[smole133]

Perpetual motion is a non sence. No point in wasting your time in trying to construct it. You would have to stop the gravity itself to have a clear space that isn't affected by any force, because, if there is force, energy is transfered. Therefore there is work. Energy should be possible to stop, to prevent any work done on any body. As long as there is work, nothing like this is possible. Damn you, Newton!

[smole133]

@smole133

A correction, this is possible, you did it, but the problem is there was some work on the wooden plates. As I said, gravity ;)

[soomrojawad]

it's all ridiculous i want them working for hours! hours! hours!

[nicetrickz]

with a simple touch it lasts about 17 seconds... If something touch that thing every 17 seconds it would last forever and the energy to "touch it" is really smaller than the output of it

[sorova]

@nicetrickz err - no! If only! Dream-on..Output power always less than input power. Even if they were the same you have friction losses.

[nicetrickz]

@sorova ? so do you really think that the power used to give a soft touch to keep its motion is greater than the generated by 17s of spin? you really should get back to your thermodynamics highschool books, because the real world is not for you xP

[TonyWRO]

PERPETUM MOBILE FAIL <- this is the correct title

[MELANII225]

fikcja

[roderik1990]

such a classic design, and no that is not ever gonna give perpetual motion

[ivangohome]

pretty cool. but look at all the helpless gloaters here lol ! :)

[RChero1010]

Think about a first class lever

[kendigjl]

How is the energy released during the fall of the arm supposed to be greater than the energy accumulated by it's rising? At best the two would be equal, but then you still have friction to overcome. A simple wheel would be more efficient due to the decreased friction. Now if you suspended that wheel using magnets (so that there was no contact of the wheel with anything else) instead of bearings, and placed the contraption in a perfect vaccum, you would then have perpetual motion.

[CT2507]

almost perpetual... lol

[smellycatpoop]

Put a load on it, that's what she said!

[nikolayzou]

The stupid thing stopped.

[kbent88]

way too choppy. must have a gearbox and motor...

[CH3353BALLz]

@kbent88 lol if it had a motor it would be a fan. then its still! not perpetual.

[kbent88]

@CH3353BALLz yeah. thats my point.....

[archon808]

This method does not work. Its moment of inertia is a oval, and not a circle, so it does not rotate freely.

[DigGil1]

Quite efficient! I wonder how that sudden speed up lead to the halt.

[nexus1g]

@DigGil1 Because if it hadn't stopped, it would have ripped a hole in space and time.

[11011011011100110]

I was thinking about a machine just like this.

Now i try the water-in-pipe circle.

[cris23dumi]

if this concept doesnt work nothing does :)

[cris23dumi]

thats the worst video ever it shows a perpetuum mobile the wood hits the wall (u can hear the sound) the next piece of wood frictions the wall but the thing still rotates up to the second rotation and u say almost? :| what do u want with it tu get a 1 mw of power?

[whitehorseguitarist]

have you tried adding a little weight to the ends and having a oneway spring arm on the elbows that 'flop' so perhaps they 'spring' thus thrusting the machine in its rotation...? im no genius but that should give it the kick your looking for maybe even 21 + seconds

[Charara94]

Well maybe ifu spin it as fast u can it will last like... 30 seconds!

[wesleypiglover]

thats cool, but looks staged

[keyko69]

it has a electric motor u can see it

[27December1975]

You waste your time! Aks Chuck Norris how it work! He knows^^

[awsomehighvoltage]

@27December1975 He divides it by zero to make it work.

[jib1000]

forever now equals 17 seconds.

[TheCrazyNakedGuy]

@jib1000 well crap.. I better go break it off with that girl of mine.. I told her forever.. I guess its like those fairytails....happily ever after didn't last as long as we thought it would.

[zimontheouaib]

lol... insane !

[zamiataka]

[SexxyKevin]

so close

[fathy93200]

[gabriel1812]

LMAO

[PPStewe]

hahahahahah idiot

[rvbman47]

that stupid thing is still balanced

it may as well be a wheel

[LEGENDPURGE]

Its a toccola's wheel.

[gianni6457]

不是停下了吗?



[vcuo]

not perpetual, but impresive

[alaealdin]

i think its fake

its stoped at 9

external thing make it move again

[TakesTwoToTango]

@alaealdin No, that's not true. All internal forces, and the average acceleration of the wheel didnt change. This is a reasonably complex system, so chaotic or osscilatory motion isn't surprising. If you average it out though, it's just a wheel...

[milenica0208]

Why stop, just not equal to the force of gravity :)))))))))

[nxr064]

You've...almost got the idea...

[eter1001]

fail

[ENZEEVIDS]

oop's it stopped

[TitanaMaster]

hahaha

[soulbruva3000]

Motion requires energy. Thus, perpetual motion requires constant energy. The only source known to man that mimics constant energy is the Sun.

[heybulldog13]

it is impossible...

[Yeayer555]

as you can see it move without stick-fall at 0:10 ... Its FAKE and GAY...

[Single0Speed]

Fuck you cunts dissing it, at least some people are trying to revolutionize the technology in the world, not just sitting on there ass saying fail haha.

Once a Perpetuum mobile gets made it will almost totally stop world wide pollution, but i spoze you fucking cock smokers are laughing at the person that thought of you tube..... oh wait your using it. so shut the fuck up and go abuse yourself for achieving nothing

[danno1111]

@Single0Speed ...except that the creation of a perpetual motion device will never happen, and swearing isn't going to change that.

[Single0Speed]

@danno1111 i might be looking at one right now

[danno1111]

@Single0Speed Where? This video of a wheel that stops spinning in less than half a minute? That's that very good even compared to ordinary wheels with decent bearings.

Attaching a bunch of arms to a shoddy wheel doesn't make it something more than a shoddy wheel.

[Lewkish]

@danno1111 It does, it makes it a sticky wheel, but I agree its a load of bollox

[KamilKarga]

needs more wind..

[concordatthefort]

FAIL

[trippelc]

interesting haha

[cris23dumi]

it stops cause it hits something the problem is that this design exactly as it is its not much it has to be changed a lot

[thiagosats]

fail kkkkkkkkkkkkk

[OregonDARRYL]

At 10 seconds it looks like something gives it a nudge.... a little fishing line perhaps?.... Hmmmmmm?

[rodneywon]

fake? it's not like it did something amazing. it demonstrated that a "perpetual motion machine" doesn't work. there's nothing to fake

[fatboy734]

wonderfull motor, behind...

[Robix1997]

hihi funny



[Riskteven]

What a GREAT idea for an exciting variant of a Ferris Wheel!!!

[Favel22]

Science advances every day. One day mathematicians will discover how to make 1=0, just before discovering perpetual motion.

[DrFlanigan]

@Favel22

Making 1 = 0 already exists, It just involves division by 0.

[lore22tm]

:))

[tenforce]

Fake, Fake, Fake...

BTW, a normal wheel gets closer beeing a PM than this shit

[arvman666]

theres a simple way to tell its a FAKE: look how it starts, just OUTTA NO-WHERE, it just starts turning!!! lol xD

[Evancarrick12]

Well when the mass is further from the center it produces more torque. that's why this idea makes sense. But once the arms are laying down, and closer to the center of the circle to begin ascent, the get piled up, and are closer to each other than when they were descending, and since this happens, there may be more torque created on the descent side of things by each arm, the number of arms on the ascent is greater, thus netting an equal energy balance.

[wesleysidney]

use oil

[wesleysidney]

why it stops?

[emre787878]

crap

[1crazyfocker]

that has to be the best gravity wheel i have ever seen, it will never work, but you got to admit that one ran pretty well good job

[tspanaudakys]

Where is the perpetuum mobile? it stops!

good try! interesting.

[DeRtistKnownAzFrank]

I think this is engenious I rewound the vid and noticed one of the elbows didnt close all the way till the last minute.. sending a shock wave in the opposite direction thus breaking the chain reaction. I think if the joints were better lubed and more attention to detail (as in making each arm absolutely identical) I think it would really be something.

[Henfuego]

@DeRtistKnownAzFrank

lol?

[Stenis20]

Im going to use this idea in my schoolproject. Build one of these and try to figure out why it doesnt work.

[hoomersinpsom]

very short perpetuum

[leppimeister]

fail

[leppimeister]

@MAHONEYFICATION douche

[dextadeluxe]

This isn't a Perpetuum Mobile....

1. The Perpetuum Mobile needn't a startmove. It starts ALONE...

2. The Perpetuum Mobile can't stop. In this video your "Perpetuum Mobile" stops.

But your idea is good. :D

[hidenowdielater]

im not sure if this would work forever. but as a kid i got on a non-mechanical merry-go-round with my cousin. we where the same weight. the merry-go-round was on a hill, most likely tilted some where around the 45* mark, and we would go there and other than our initial push it required no effort from either of us. i figure the bearings on it where very loose to lower friction to its minimum and i figure that we most likely shift our weight but i know for a fact that i never shifted my feet

[leppimeister]

@hidenowdielater no one cares

[jib1000]

18 seconds... the new infinity!

[Haseo071]

maybe magnets of the same polarity can make it go on for days (or years)

LOL... seriously

[s28400]

It kinda makes sence cause you have mor torque farther out from the center. Try putting som wights on the end ot the rods.

[SAKEOwner]

@s28400 Well actually it stops because there's more on the left side than there are on the right side. So even if there are weights, it will still stop. Try it yourself.

[s28400]

@SAKEOwner But what I am saying is there should be more torque when the other ones fall (like if you have a really long rench insted of a short one it makes it easier to turn). Also in the video the bearings don't seem too good. I'm not saying it works just that is kinda make sense that it could work thats all.

[barrettski189]

@s28400: I have tried to build one my own... it doesnt work :D

[304Stephen]

I think it would work a tiny bit better if there was some kind of thing limiting the speed, it moved too fast causing too many arms to flip out causing it to stop.

[torosyan]

@304Stephen like a fly wheel connected to a gear system?

that would work, but it would only add more friction to the system, the idea is that you minimize friction entirely.

good idea though!

[juicebab1]

Uhh...If you play this video over and over again it will be perpetual. LOL. Nice try.

[joefos7]

orrrr we can just burn shit up and make energy

[RidgeJaggers]

cool design

[lucyfer1972]

far from perpetual motion, not only that it stoped  but it was also undergoing deceleration.

[quidproquo2004]

A beautiful creation. It is really lovely art, but unfortunately not a perpetual motion machine.

[DukeLuke1020]

Not perpetual - but VERY close. I like the design, if you can smooth it out, and limit it to one speed, it would be very consistent.

[Single0Speed]

This will work 100%, just looks like it needs a few mods and better bearings, this guy looks like he used house hold items and a hot glue gun and it works, and the only reason it stoped is because the bace was not fixed to the ground

[bjorntjuuh]

uhm u make this with household items orsomething it looks kinda unstable and unbalanced maybe work better if u balance better. but wont rotate endless thats impossible were u take energy from???.

but i like it i maybe go make this myself =)

[Nomasain]

2 Martians stakeout the town of Niceville, South Texconsin.

All cars halt when the traffic lights turn red.

Therefore they conclude it is physically impossible to run a red light.

[catman72]

its always ALMOST perpetum mobile, isn't it? :-)

[MrKamilles]

hahaha zajebiste

[Romanka83]

надо концы длиннее сделать. раза в 2 увеличить.

[jayandersons]

i like the way it stops....

[janius777]

@jayandersons

2 possible reasons :)

FRICTION and IMPERFECTION of Measurements

this doesn´t proove anything either for the pro´s and con´s

[BoilerRoom4]

@jayandersons that's because it was being driven by an air hose out of shot. Wake up, people. What happened to the audio of this charming little hoax?

[creaturebotman]

Needs more Cow Bell.

[Zergikun]

@creaturebotman hahaha :-D

[sliderblue1992]

@creaturebotman needs more dubstep.

[acogymyoutu]

When human race need to leap forward, new energy source is discovered which looks like it will never run out. Fire (wood), horses, wind, coal, oil, hydro, electricity, atoms. Inventing something is not tinkering with laws. Just play and fiddle. When you stumble upon something - try to explain it but keep laws in mind. If it does not fit in- you are wrong. Einstein oposed Newton. But i bet they are both right. Laws are here to stay for good.

[Nomasain]

@acogymyoutu So true, they are both right. Although both made a tiny glitch: Einstein discarded the ether (which is actually there; presently known as dark matter), and Newton explained gravity as a force creating a movement (while it's the opposite: tiny movements creating a force).

Stardrive (see my website) also leaves room for perpetual motion (witnessed PM myself by accident!).

[1Coragon]

[JosephKrammer]

When people will understand the equilibrium principle?

[trinix777]

fail

[tgh200yeah]

dont hear other comment that say this thing can't work .

I just want to say I belive that this device can work, and maybe some physics law that we know or learn can be wrong .

so PERPETUAL MOTION is EXIST

YEAH !! good job , keep working dude

[manhunt48]

You really don't understand the laws of physics at all do you?

Oh and if they were wrong (which not a single one has ever found to of been broken yet) Then many devices that we use everyday simply wouldn't work.

[zzytrewq]

@manhunt48 - my VCR stopped working the other day which proves the laws of physics are broken and need to be repaired. (or something like that)

[manhunt48]

Lol!!!, I'm just going to take that as satire (at least i hope it is)

[zzytrewq]

@manhunt48 - I should put the word satire in parenthesis after some of my posts to end the confusion. But then again, I like to keep folks wondering. Life is too short not to have fun at every opportunity. Cheers.

[ssbandit158]

Ever heard of a guy named newton? He originally concluded that all objects fall at the same rate and only wind resistance played a factor in the speed, now we know mass and terminal velocity are the key. Not saying that perpetual motion exists, but we shouldn't stop trying just because someone says it doesn't.

people at one point thought you couldn't travel faster than 35mph or the wind wouldn't allow you to breathe. As technology progresses so will our insight.

[manhunt48]

It's not because " someone says so" it's because THE ENTIRE scientific consensus agree's that it's impossible after thousands upon thousands of observations and tests.

sure I've heard of newton, have you ever heard of Sadi Carnot, Lord Kelvin, Rudolf Clausius, Flanders and Swann, James Prescott Joule, Max Planck, Ludwig Boltzmann? . . . . .

[datzfast]

were these your disciples of religion or are they popes

[manhunt48]

@datzfast

*sigh* . . . No wonder you people are chasing after the impossible. You have no clue who these people are and no clue about what they have shown.

Amazing how people can wallow about in their own ignorance and feel proud about it. babies do the exact same in their own filth!

I really do pity you.

[datzfast]

you answered as i expected,

[MrMcmikemike]

@manhunt48 babies dont know how to be proud. they just like relaxing and cry when shit isnt right.

[gigashockxx]

The point of this argument is that Yes, physically it is impossible. Theoretically, still impossible. But dam! Wouldn't it be cool to actually make it happen?? What if it IS possible? (False) That would be LITERALLY so mind-boggling! I like to think of it as "Entering the lottery" Some people know for a fact that they're going to lose, but still spend their whole life saving on it! Us theoretical Physicists are the gamblers of modern science, and I'm proud to say it!

[TrutherD1]

@gigashockxx How impossible would it be with a little help from cosmic energy all around us or using the magnetism of the earth / atmosphere? ;)

[zzytrewq]

@tgh200yeah - Laws of Physics are never wrong. People's interpretation of them, or their lack of understanding of them and how they were developed is what is wrong.

[MrMashadar]

perpetual motion IS exist?

yea, here's the expert folks.

[chrisofnottingham]

Given the amount of time scientists and engineers have spent studying mechanics and building things, why would anyone think they had overlooked something simple like this?

It's true that "science doesn't know everything" but the kind of things it doesn't know aren't going to fix a mechanical design which has never worked since it was first proposed nearly 1000 years ago.

[DallasGreen123]

motorized.

[petevandebeat]

nice idea. if do you build it again fine, mayby it can work.

[jotacril]

Doesn't work because violates one of the thermodinamic laws.

All the devices that try to take advantage of an "hole" of gravity are designed as "unbalanced wheels".

They are studied since the 11th century and none worked till today.

It rotates with a little "help" of a nylon wire, or a air jet, pheraps.

Note that the movement is not even regular.
