I had one as a kid (am 42). You put a coin where he has the on/off switch, the lid of the coffin raised, The hand of Dracula or a skeleton comes out and takes the coin, the lid closes and it switches off because the coin is no longer pressing the switch down.
This is a good video though... Maybe It would need another arm on the outside that is powered by the same tpye of servo as the other two, power by a capacitor which is powered up upon turning on the unit but only switched on after unit is turned off. The arm on the outside would also have a spring that would put enough pressure on the switch to turn the unit back on once the arm used the last of the capacitors energy. But the servo on the inside would have to be more powerful that the spring.
That reminds me of Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy. -What happens if I push this button? (pushes the button) ...Hmm, the sign just lit up saying: don't push this button again!"
Dam you! Dam you!! The universe will fold unto self and turn inside out. A half man and other(I will not say) will then become president! His name... Obama
this is not perpetual motion because someone has to flick the switch for anything to happen. Now, if you had another robot that flicked that switch ON every time this one flicks it OFF, then you might be getting somewhere, but as it stands its just a quirky robot.
@123naitsabes you shouldn't call him a dumbass cause you're wrong too. The reason this is wont go on forever is not due to friction in the gears. The reason the machine will stop is because the battery will eventually die! Perpetual motion means a machine that runs on its Own power, and is not possible.
@tennesseejed1969 say you run a light bulb from a solar panel and use the light bulbs light as the energy for the solar panel. wouldnt this be perpetual energy? just wondering
@danosdrake No because the solar panels are not efficient enough to recapture all the energy - so there is a constant loss. Solar panels only capture about 13% at best.
@danosdrake yes that is a perfect model for the concept of perpetual motion(the motion bieng photons and electrons moving, but the panels would not be enough to power the light bulb.
@capecod12345 He's talking about the perpetual motion of stupidity. The human is stupid enough to think something new will happen by pressing the button. The robot is stupid enough to think that the human will leave it alone if it turns itself off.
Now you just need something to replace your finger with another machine lol. I dont see what you have created, before you started the box was closed then at the end the box was closed. You've done a complete 360 and landed right back where you fucking started.
The Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid will be released sometime Spring 2012. It can go 13 miles on free electricity. The Chevrolet Volt right now offers you 40 miles of pure electric drive. The future should see addition of a magnetic multi-stage motor which can offer you much longer distances.
I don't understand. Perpetual motion is entertaining, but it holds to practical application. Perpetual energy is the real challenge and goal. However that concept is impossible as far as being truly perpetual.
lol stupid what is the point of making something that will turn off itself just seconds after turning it on? i find no use except scratching ur butt or something
@CodyRicheson Another Captain obvious. You people are so stuck up you can't find anything to laugh about. Pull the stick out your ass, it might tickle something and make you smile!
Put a switch at the bottom and it will turn itself back on too! Now hook it up to a solar cell/battery and it will open and close, turning itself on and off forever.

smetimes when i'm doing nothing better than wandering around the vids on utube i feel guilty for wasting my time. not anymore, now i know i'm but an amateur and a long way to go till im a full blown waster
What if you run a rubberband from the switch to the far-away-hand, so when the far-away-hand goes back down, it pulls the rubberband, which pulls the switch back, starting the whole process over. Even then, doesn't this machine use a battery?
This is nothing to do with perpetual motion, perpetual motion is: "motion that continues indefinitely without any external source of energy" i.e batteries, motors you turning on the switch.
Theoritically perpetual motion is impossible due to frictional losses but this is a nice little project
If someone kept messing with your electricity using a switch outside your house, you'd keep fixing it, too. So imagine how Thing from the Addam's Family must feel.
