forever now equals 17 seconds.

[vcuo]

not perpetual, but impresive

[matejmuzatko]

almost...

mal posicionamiento de los brazos !!!!

[unamaxify]

the wheel on my bicycle spins longer,

still its crafty looking contraption

[moegreen2]

I thought of the same thing once, had to calculate it before I understood why it did not work.

@jib1000 well crap.. I better go break it off with that girl of mine.. I told her forever.. I guess its like those fairytails....happily ever after didn't last as long as we thought it would.

not possibal love :) gravety and magnetic wheel dont worki tryed 50 desined,

there is a electric motor in the back or someone moving it?

[Flemmli1995]

With a smooth-running axis it runs much better^^

Perpetual motion is not possible. If anyone comes up with an idea that works, I will personally hand over ALL of my disposable income to them for the rest of my life.

It's not that I 'just don't believe', or that 'I work for an oil company', or that I'm 'closed minded' - it's just Physics.

In the words of Richard Feynman: "if you don't like it, go somewhere else....another universe maybe, where the laws aren't so complicated, and are a little easier to understand".

Peace.

Put rubber bands on each of the elbows so that it'll pull on the arms when it reaches the top but retracts when it reaches 7 o'clock

In terms of motion, this machine can be simplified to be a wheel. But, it is much less effective at preserving energy than a simple wheel. In the beginning, it is in a state of non-stable balance (i.e. it has potential energy, just as a spinning wheel has kinetic energy) and a small perturbation (nudge) starts it rolling. If one was to calculate the potential energy and start a regular wheel with the same amount of kinetic energy, they would, theoretically, turn the same amount of time.
