  • good! but quite pointless

  • Not perpetual at all. You still need a motor to move the chain with the balls, don't you? Our usernames both have "username" in them, :P

  • perpt energy doesn´t exist

  • perpetual motion means that if we left this in some mayan cave that in 5000 years it would still be moving but this will stop moving in about 4-5 days, there is a battery operated motor that is making this work, the motion is not triggered through the ball and it is not perpetual

  • this guy means perpetual as in the balls are perpetually moving, not that it is a perpetual motion machine and that it is producing energy from nothing, i think...

  • there's a motor providing energy it doesn't count

  • yeah, perpetual motion is unachievable. anything that exerts some force will eventually stop unless another force acts upon it. basically... you need energy to keep everything going. perpetual motion would be putting some energy into something and having it last forever without ever putting any more energy in. as soon as you lose the slightest bit of energy to an outside for, it is no longer perpetual, because you now have less than what you started with

  • u cant use pupetuum mtion even if u made it because it would more than likely have nil torque output resolving in no use even with major gearing down the friction would overcome its powerout put and it would stop maybe magnets maybe??

  • @Tunerboii2045 magnets would still have zero torque because the force it provide in pulling something in is the same as the force require to pull something away from it.

  • a regular pendulum clock is almost a Perpetual machine, if there was some way to wind itself up without electricity,it would be a perpetual machine...

  • thats the problem with all almost perpetual machines... trying to get power from no outside input or getting more power out than you input, just cant do it

  • dun dun dunnnn

  • i dont think this is perpetual? isnt Perpetual Making energy than it uses?? and thats using energy to move somthing unless the balls have electrons that give out static to charge the moving thingy 0.o

  • @Neeroke make it run 1 nite

  • You could have made it a Lego Perpetual Motion Machine If the falling balls hit a wheel that made it spin to either make generate electricity of if it weighed enough with the proper working of gears then make it turn the other gears to then make the machine lift the then falling balls.

  • how can the universities teach there is no such thing as perpetual motion,then show a model of an atom?what keeps the electrons going?90%of the universe we cant seem to find,thats where our power needs to come from.

    neil young is working on changing a 59 lincoln to run on electric.instead of plugging it in to recharge it,you plug it in to power your house.

    check it out@lincvolt

    the world needs more people like neil and less people who would throw sticks at neil.go show r support please!

  • absolutly not perpetual motion

  • Thank you captain obvious !

  • Did any one understand the sentence "A perpetual motion machine expressed in the medium of Lego. " ???

  • extreme emphasis on the word expressed

  • i do its gravity allowing movment to the lift and machine allowing for there to be less friction

  • its not pepetual soon the machine will run out of battry

  • you obviously do not understand what a perpetual motion machine is ( you were probably freaking out when you started it thinking that you were the genius who figured out perpetual motion

  • your so full of bull shit " special polymer-alloy " my ass you just hooked it up to a power source i was wrong because you do understand what perpetual motion is you just asume every one is a retard and will belive your crock and bull well guess what i dont there is no way that is running without an external power source if it is then make a follow up video

  • not my vid man, I think your ironi detector might be broken :D

  • well then why the hell are you talking to me

  • I guess the combined retardedness of the video itself, it's title, and your respone to it just inspired me. I wouldn't watch something like this in the first place if I was bothered with wasting my time.

  • small heads-up for future use; etymology is the teaching of the origin of words. 0815 is not a word - It's numbers, number strings have no etymology since their meaning is only relevant inside a given context. The field you were looking for is that of 'integritive-cumulative numerals' a sub-field of numeral linguistics that only a small number of people happen to know about given it's retardedly small signifigance.

    so basically your nick reads 'trash machinegun'? cool, very descriptive.

  • Perpetual motion machines needs 100% efficiency which requires frictionless surfaces which that is physically impossible.

  • A perpetual motion machine does NOT need to have fricitionless surfaces, it just needs to put out more energy than it consumes, witch could be acheived without frictionless surfaces.

  • When you need more energy than what is being consumed, you are overcoming friction and friction alone acting on the object eventually brings it to a stop. Perpetual motion machines are supposed to be frictionless which I mentioned before is physically impossible because friction exists everywhere.

  • no, the extra energy generated just needs to overcome the friction.

  • How on earth would a machine be able to output more energy than it consumes? That is physically impossible!

  • Bedini

  • Bedini had an idea of how to be able to output more energy than the machine itself produces, but so far I haven't seen anyone who has succeeded in doing that. People have built Bedini motors, but as far as I know, none have actually met the ground principles of his idea. They might have ended up with a good efficiency percentage, but the output energy is still less than the input energy.

  • Theoretical nuclear Fusion outputs more energy than is needed for the fusion process.

  • batteries

  • Lol i was gunna say it but everyone else already lit you up about it...

  • thats not perpetual its just a repetitive motion.

    its only perpetual if there is no other force than the one created by the initial motion of the ball. its using a moter to repeat this motion.

    therfore its motor driven.

  • do you know "perpetual"???

  • Perpetual??? but it's brill i wana build it

  • it would be a nobel-prize winner, if the ENGINE wasn't so loud.

  • Fail.

  • while he's right the definition of perpetual motion is a closed system that doesnt need any extra energy it is possible we just cant because of forces on earth for example if you go into space and kick a soccer ball inertia will keep it going forever

  • Actually, there is a slight amount of friction in space. Though it would take MANY years, the soccer ball would eventually stop.

    Or hit something.

  • ya, maybe a stray oxygen molucule or a chunk of dirt that escaped from a planet or a meteor or w/e but ASSUMING and this is just assuming that there was nothing in this dimension except the ball it would go on infinitely

  • Yes but this would not be a perpetual motion MACHINE. It's the word machine that everyone's focusing on.

  • i dont care if he got the name wrong, that was cool

  • is this powerd by motors?

  • erm, look up the definition of perpetual mobile.

  • yeah srsly lol

  • because its driven by gravity does that mean that u placed a ball on one side(the left)and that weight starte the motion? if so, the the weight of the balls on the other side would counter that and have it reversed. how does it work then?

  • its driven by an electric motor. even god wouldnt even be able to get this desighn to be a real perpetual motor

  • you should have had mice running around through it would have been better!

  • Perpetual motion is motion which is moved by gravity. Not motors.

    1 star.

  • umm, I think they meant it in a different way.

  • perpetual motion is motion created by a closed system that requires no further input of energy than the energy used to start it. Its impossible to create such a device because it defies the law of conservation of energy.

  • it is possible

  • Actually perpetual motion (outside the bounds of Earth) falls under Newton's laws. "An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by another force". Therefore, any motion begins with the potential for perpetual motion, until acted upon by another force.

  • Right but irrelevant.

    The post was about a perpetual motion MACHINE. A machine must have moving interacting parts. A machine is not a machine unless it does work. Traveling through space is not work

  • What do you think moving/lifting balls is? dumbshit

  • You fucking nimrod. My comment was a reply to someone else. How would my last comments make any sense unless they were a reply?

    I started both with a reply to a statement "Yes" and "Right but"

    You empty skulled sack of rabbit dung. Think critically before you type.

    FAIL

  • not impossible, just thought to be impossible. Laws have been broken/redefined before, we just dont know how to do it yet.

  • ... and where is the perpetual motion machine?

  • a little harsh but you have a point.

  • stuuuupiiiiiid!!!!!!

  • how did u make the chain can u telll me and give me the parts including the mount

  • You are right that the chain drive was the hardest part by far. I don't have a parts list and this was a long time ago, but I think I did this:

    1) Sandwich some small wheels between the large wheels. The rubber provides friction to drive the chain.

    2) The chain is just links regular beams. I think they are 6 studs long.

    3) The balls get hooked by little arms that stick out from the chain. I don't remember how I made those or how I kept them from flopping down.

  • I have not been able to view this video.

    grevie77

  • You should make them cups and make the top part empyting the bucket and the bottom part picking up water

  • theres like a billion comments on how its not perpetual... jeez... good ol' american observation... we can win this war? dumbshits

  • ????????

  • ... what? So someone points out how it's not a perpetual motion machine because it constantly adds new energy to replace what's lost, and that makes us dumb americans? I think we know who's the dumbshit.

  • -.-

    ein perpetuual mobile is eine vorrichtung die ohne motor läuft...

  • @gitarrenschwein

    nicht unbedingt.

    wenn der motor nicht nur die aktion, sondern auch sich selbst mit konstanter kraft am laufen halten kann, dann ist es auch ein perpetuum mobile.

  • not perpetual, but congrats on it. its still pretty cool

  • it isn't perpetual /_\

  • wheres the 'perpetual' element here?

  • this is not perpetual machine

    bonne video

  • LOL WTF ?! Where have you seen it was perpetual ? LMAO !! There's a motor dats sure ! ^^

  • Not perpetual!

  • how is this perpetual?

  • shit

  • at least it moves.

  • idiot this obviosly uses a motor becase there is nothing the make the other side go down to pull the balls up on the opposite side you fool

  • that isnt perpetual

  • how people use legos these days

    hmmm...

    this is the next generation of life

  • cool, but it's not really a perpetual energy machine.

    it takes more energy to move the marbles up the thing then it makes going down

  • Note perpetual motion, not perpetual energy.

  • Note: The motor will break or run out of power, not perpetual, because then it stops.

  • Perpetual has a vague meaning. On average, it means "to continue", not necessarily "to continue forever", though many times it's used at such.

  • Actually, it takes an equal amount of energy :D It's just that you external factors (gravity, air resistance, friction, etc) makes it seem that you use more to bring the marble up...

  • knex is acctually owned by lego.

    and lego is soon to own mega blocks also

  • Lego is going to own megabloks?? Does that mean the price of those is going to go through the roof too?

  • knex are way better then lego's, have you ever seen a knex trampoline tower? They are like that except 40 times more awesome and six feet tall.

  • Link?

  • NO NO NO! It was a mere representation of a perpetual motion machine! You people think he is lying. In his description it says perpetual motion is expressed not happening! The vertical conveyer belt represents a magnet, bringing the balls up then dropping them. GEEZ!

  • I think you're more displaying gravity than perpetual motion.

  • noobtastic way to show a knowledge of pm

  • UMMMMMMMMMMMMM, motors are not included in PM machines. Good way to fool people into viewing your channel.

  • cool, but it has a motor, i think...

    Is that really perpetuul?

  • i like it

  • What happens when all the balls fall off?

  • if it is perpetual motion machine there should be no motor duh!

  • Exactly waht i think...

  • Nice:) Aren't these mouse balls?

  • lol perpetual uselessness?

    no offense to the maker...

    cool contraption tho :)

  • kind of basic...

  • you should install this into the engine compartment of your car and use it as a new environmentally form of alternative fuel.

  • ... Besides the fact that it doesn't generate any power, and is powered by an electric motor, and it's not perpetual.

  • what's most important is that it is not generating any greenhouse gases.

  • the electricity plant might

  • thats not how it's supposed to work it has to create its own power

  • eureka! (i know i probably spelled that wrong)

  • No, its right :P

  • ummm perpetual motion machines do exist sum dude just made it on his spare time and it would probably go on forever

    all he used was gravity and magnets no electricity at all

  • in a perfect world, perpetual motion machines are possible. however, all our machines are imperfect, which means they lose energy to things like friction or heat. eventually, all the energy drains out of the system and it stops moving.

    unless, like this guy here, uses an external source of energy, which is cheating.

  • even magnets lose the capacity of atraction and repulsion after years (around...[quick calculation] ten thousand years, i know its a lot of time but its not perpetual)

  • Yes but by then the robot it powers has ordered some more off ebay.

  • your uaing an eletirc motor to make the tires spin. but if you could build more track like taht you could have a cool marble tower

  • yes well everybodey knows that perpetual motion machines doesnt exist, and if.. it would not been made out of lego

  • IT FIT's PERFECT!!!!!

    GREAT DUDE!

    IT IS ALOT OF WORK TO MAKE THAT BALL CRASH IN JUST THE SECOND WHEN THE RAMP IS THERE.

  • Actually, that was a coincidence. I didn't even think of it, let alone plan it.

  • perpetual motion doesn't exist

    beacuse of friction

  • the legos are powerede by something and can't go forever, perpetual motion doesn't exist

  • i have just the same but then in knex

  • I would stare at that for hours before someone explained it to me . . .

  • hes using an electric motor to SHOW that its prepetual motion it really isnt, tricky bastard

  • it has a motor

  • let it be... it looks cool doesn`t it ? don`t disagree and stuff ...just... enjoy

  • It's not even being "expressed." That would imply that it "appeared" to be self-powered. This is just an electric elevator and some ramps.

  • yeahhh !! i love these kind of machines.. they go on and on and on and..zzzzzz

  • lol, thats crap

  • exactly, its being expressed, not done, like Eric333333 said. i swear if people took the time to read the descriptions on youtube videos...

  • read the description morons, Its being expressed, not done.

  • hoax

  • perpetual means infinite self suppourted energy which means not using baatteries

  • For it to be porpetual, wouldn't it have to run itself without any starting force?

  • I know you used some kind of motor, because I can hear it running.

  • big waste of energie lolbut its build reaaly good

  • How os having a motor lift up some balls and drop them in any way related to perpetual motion?

  • i just just thinking that. nice try though :-)

  • lol i agree. who ever posted this is an idiot and should go read a dictionary and find the meaning of perpetul motion

  • they didnt say perpetual motion they said perpetual lego. I'm pretty sure they didnt want to imply that it was perpetual motion.

  • Read descriptions much? "A perpetual motion machine expressed in the medium of Lego." Hmm... "A PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINE"...i wonder if hes talking about a perpetual motion machine anarion. THE WORLD WILL NEVER KNOW

  • Thats pretty cool, however i dont think its perpetual. Perpetual means that it sorta powers itself... i think. Its pretty cool though :) make another one and make it longer :P

  • its in posibl

  • hey awesome now try to make it longer that be REALLY cool

  • awesome!!!

  • Perpetually boring.

  • try putting your brain back into your head before screening such stupidity

  • just not a perpetual motion machine, its a motor turning, the power pack will eventually die,and it will stop, thus concluding tht it isnot a perpetual motion machine,

    i agree with addrads, change the title, its not a perpetual motion machine!

  • Take out the motor and use magnets

  • magnets wont help at all, Perpetual motion is only a fantasy

  • Oh really? Search Reidar Finsrud on youtube...

  • its not Perpetual, you ahve the energy loss due to friction of the moving parts, and energy loss do the air causing drag

  • The important part is that it contradicts the sick dogma they impose us (the laws of thermodynamics).

    According to the dogma the system should ballance itself and stop--since it is a closed system. But it doesn't stop. That's important part, i don't care about the rest. I just agknowledge a bright invention. In the beginning of the 19c. they (the prists of pride "scientists" were saying that nothing heavier than air can fly...too much pride...

  • ...i mean, i'm talking about Reidar Finsrud, not the lego contraption --lol...

  • so was i

  • its not impossible! anything is possible if you put your mind to it!

  • no, no, not really, unless you stripped away the laws physics, and common sence, your only think that will be prepetual is ur optimistic views on life, which will only lead you to disapointment.

  • ummm... I really don't think this is perpetual motion. Perpetual motion is a constant motion that without any constant outside input force/energy will continue if undisturbed forever. This machine you've built cant generate enough force to lift up the balls constantly, by the sounds of it and the looks of it, there is a motor, so this isn't perpetual buddy, the electricity or what ever fuel is being used will eventual run out.

  • you can hear the motor running dumbass
