Perpetual Motion

codenazisays...

did we really need 9min of footage to show yet another demonstration of someone who doesn't understand conservation of energy?

I'm guessing electromagnets kicking the suspiciously-not-well-filmed pendulums.

I too am going to go with magnets, which do eventually discharge.

No magnets, the inventor himself is skeptical about this machine, he says he doesnt really know, but it keeps going. He keeps it in his basement in a vault inside a glass cage..

"A research team from belguim was up here with all kinds of measuring equipment, they demanded that I pull the power to the whole house, it got pitch dark, but the machine kept going"

EDIT: turns out that article was badly worded, there are indeed magnets, and not only that, but the machine does stop, apparantly, here's a better write-up:

But, as we all know, there is physical degradation over time and this will eventually break down.

Hey codenazi, about that Law of Conservation of Energy, how do we fit the creation of the universe into that? First there is nothing....then...*BLAM* one universe coming up!

nibiyabisays...

The theory doesn't state that there was "nothing". The theory states that all the matter in the universe today was condensed into an incredibly small space. . . . Weren't you taught this in like fourth grade? Anyway, a perpetual motion machine is impossible, so this guy automatically FAYLZ, but it is still really cool.
