Wheel Marble Machine With Flip Flop

this is my first complete marble machine, a slightly modified and reengineered version of Denha's fine creation.

Solidworks model & Simulation.
took 12 hours straight to model and simulate.

This is not a kind of perpetual machine, the wheel is turned by a virtual motor connected to its axle. The balls actually don't pop up at the top, they try to pop out a bit earlier than they reach the top, but the semi circular rod at the left side of the wheel disable them fall down. The slope at the holes which enables the balls fall down into the holes, makes them pop out at the top, though the slopes' turn downhill at the top.

u can have it google translated. ;)

there is not much in it anyways. But my robotics website has got a complete english version.

the problem with perpetual energy(not saying its shown in this vid)is that the force generated is the exact amount used to keep the mechanism perpetualy moving so yes you generate force no you cant generate energy

brilliant idea

almost a perfect machine but there's one problem...why would the marble suddenly pop out at the top in stead of staying in the hole or popping out somewhere else

Okay wait a min, so you have a perpetual spinning wheel based on gravity. How is this different from wind power? I mean, big blades are spun by wind, and that creates power. Well this wheel here is already spinning. Isn't this free energy?

I wish there were an English version of his personal website.
