  • forever now equals 17 seconds.

  • not perpetual, but impresive

  • almost...

  • mal posicionamiento de los brazos !!!!

  • the wheel on my bicycle spins longer,

    still its crafty looking contraption

  • 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?

  • 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.
