See the difference in # of rotations between starting this wheel clockwise or counter clockwise.

  • in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!

  • Even if you neglected *BOTH* friction and centrifugal force, the laws of conservation of energy show that the force required to lift the weights to any point of potential energy is equal to the kinetic energy required to lift the weights in the first place. You can't make springs do work for you. Even if you neglect friction and centrifugal force, it takes just as much force to pull against the springs as it presumedly would to lift the weights to a position of beneficial force.

  • counter terrorist win.

  • what would happend if u leave the center magnet stanionary(so it can't move)???

  • I still don't see why people think perpetual motion is possible. Well, theoretically it IS, if you had a 100% enclosed system, no radiation in or out, no friction, nothing. which is impossible without something of infinite density, which would cause a black hole singularity etc etc... but in practise, in the real world, as they say, you can't get perpetual motion. Just because you want to believe in it doesn't mean it will happen. Go and believe in free money, it's more likely to happen.

  • @xaoseph YOU SIR GET ALL MY INTERNETS FOR A WEEK!

  • warum hat das so viele daumen runter? das ist einer der besten maschinen, die ich gesehen habe...abgesehen davon, das es UNMÖGLICH ist, heutzutage" ein perpetuum mobile zu bauen

  • try another direction

  • Holy shit!!! look at it go!!! It just kept spinning faster and faster!! I guess it's time for me to throw out my expensive, useless physics degree...

  • Dude. Would you please use your talents for something useful? You need to consider friction, gravity and wind resistance. Technically, if you spun a simple wheel in the middle of the universe where nothing was tugging at it, it would spin forever. On Earth, you can't do that. :)
