  • Ok so its not perpetual motion but what if you used the watermill to run a pump to remove excess water from the first air pressure container too keep the second water container continually full of water? Would it be possible too keep it running forever, or at least increase the duration?

  • @silvernail31 that wouldn't work. the reason this works is because of the air pressure being built up in the container. removing water would elimate the pressure, but good idea

  • Why doesnt the container at 1:23 fill up with water?

  • @TheRealEric31415 it is actually filling up, but very slowly, so its hard to notice.

    Also, when this container fills up all the way, this perpetual motion machine stops

  • hey i wanna know it continues to rotate endlessly.......

    i think due to frictional losses it may stop..........

  • @saggy4kisss this process stops when the one container fills with water (the one connected to the brown pot), and when the container that is feeding water to the mill is empty

    If you want to get the plans for the Perpetual magnet motor

    Do Google Search for

    "Top Magnetic Generator"

  • Actually I'm gonna fail you , I have just noticed that you spelt "quick" wrong also ! Tut , tut !!

  • Northernblades , you spelt " should " wrong ! Not being funny but it really detracts from your long drawn out argument if you fail on the basics when preaching facts ! Apart from that I will still give you 9/10 for plagiarism X

  • Is this where chuck Norris goes to piss? Sorry I had to throw that in there.....I figured it would be in the comments.

  • @eithanyakobi The concept of this magnet motor, is that you place a 900 watt electric motor on one side,  Use a magnetic "boost plate, to increase the force of the spinning wheel, and then attack a 5k watt generator to the other side of the plate.

    One quit theory for you. How much resistance do you think a 5k watt generator produces? and do you think this would be more or less than the boost provided by 2 magnetic plates, Anyone with an ounce of sense shoudl know.

  • well made, nice to see physic principles working.

    have you recorded for how long yours will work ?

    I was just wondering, looking at the scale and all.

  • Nice device, but remember: near perpetual is not perpetual.

  • What happens when the first jar becomes full of water?
