GRAVITY WHEEL - PERPETUAL MOTION / First attempt not working yet. . . . . . .

Hi this is my first attempt at making a perpetual motion gravity wheel, I have plans to make another one, and in doing so iron out the problems which stopped this one from working, the changes include making the outer wheel larger thus increasing the leverage on the inner wheel lift, spreading the two tracks further apart thus creating more time on the downward push on the outer wheel and finally adding an extra 12 slots in the inner wheel to carry more balls up again to the top track. I have carried out the weights and leverage tests so now I know the next one I make will definately work!

hahaha oh man. gravitational fields are conservative, so it doesn't matter whether your ball is on the inner or outer wheel, it takes at least as much energy to raise a ball as the ball returns when it falls. Everybody like talking about how science has been wrong in the past, but if you just read a scientific argument for why perpetual motion is impossible, you'll be hard-pressed to find any flaws in the reasoning.

NICE MACHINE! I really like this work man! But it will never be a "perpetual motion", it's physicly imposible! If you study the laws of Newton and a little bit more of physics you be in conditions to decide what is possible and what is not possible.

Despite that, i really apreciate your work and dedication, thats a fine work!

I can see one major problem : i does not work without your finger's

i try make one like your device but poorly materials iam proud to make my own perpetual motion i share it to you use 6 0r 12 marbles your device will be continous rotation...

Really really awesome craftmanship but it will never work... Best-case scenario is in ideal circumstances that it would theoretically just rotating for ever with a small push (without load/producing anything). What you can do is use power (gravity) from an external source, like "free" balls falling from somewhere and you don't need to get them back there, just like how watermills work with water...

I'm torn between liking or disliking this video. On one hand, you can't build a perpetual motion machine. On the other hand, it's a very well made toy that took some craftsmanship to build

Your plan is to have 4 to 5 balls on the outer wheel providing weight to drive the wheel down over a small percentage of the travel of the wheel. On the inner wheel there will be more weights traveling a greater distance so your machine will not work in this design unless you figure out some way to use steel balls and powerful magnets on the down side to provide additional force. Hope that helps with your project. Good luck.

Honestly it not worth trying to make it work. You can used a motor or anything. Too slow no torque.., its worthless junk.

I have million dollars burning a hole in my pocket. Can get in on the ground floor and invest today!!!!!!

height ball travels up = height ball travels down. The distance of the ball from the center of the wheel makes no difference to how much energy is needed to raise/lower it.

@TheElectronicsAddict not to mention friction, even rolling friction

so fucking stupid
