Perpetual Motion



Uploaded by: alexioco
Video Description:
Invented by Mr. Reidar Finsrud, the whole machine is placed inside a glass mount, to prevent visitors who view the machine in the gallery from touching it.
A steel ball (about 2.7 inch diameter, 20 pound) is rolling on an aluminum track, about 25 inches in diameter, placed horizontally. Three pendulums, about 45 inches long with tunable weights at the lower end, controls three horse-shoe magnets that the steel ball has to pass by on the track. Embedded in the track is a (mechanical) controlling/timing mechanism. It looks like a steel wire bent into a triangular track, 5 inches long. The ball rolls over it and pushes the wire down through a slot in the track. This affects one of the pendulums and regulates its swinging motion. The steel ball has not stopped revolving for months.
I would like to thank tiroirdelmare for making the footage longer, so you can get an idea of how it works, Thanks tiroirdelmare :)

Well the problem ... ( 1 week ago by LukeSkyscraper)
Well the problem there is that it is a closed system, possibly a highly efficient closed system if it's for real, and once you start using it to generate electricity you take energy out. The energy of this system is entirely kinetic so you would see the ball slow down rapidly. This is at best a large and convoluted battery whose energy is less than or equal to the impulse required to get the ball rolling in the first place (which won't me much).

You taking it too literally. In the common sense perpetual motion means the same as over unity. You can get more enery out of it then what is put in.

but wouldn't the track and even the ball wear ut over time?

Well we cant make energy out of nothing (we'll have to break law of conservation of energy). And the ball will eventually stop due to air resistance...

ok so lets say it can produce energy as is rolls around the track...eeveen if it eeveentually stops u just give it a lil roll and it keeeps on going correct?

I love the innovation and the idea of free energy (perpetual motion) machines. So cool! I actually used to practice solving these free energy puzzles as a kid. ;-)

its not perpetual, nothing is, but its still pretty cool, especially if it really has been going on for months
if they haven't already, i bet making that container a vacuum would help alot, even though it would be hard

mutuo perpetúo é impossivel, em algum momento essa bola vai parar ,que se pode fazer é, prolongar o tempo que a bola fica girando .

all it is is a magnetic track that pulls the ball forward, uses a timing mech., not perp. motion...
There are no truly ... ( 5 days ago by DragonMasterMarf)
There are no truly closed systems except for the universe itself (maybe not even that).
There is bound to be heat radiation from friction. We can hear sound waves. There is energy being lost, and you can't create energy from nothing, and because of this it will come to a stop.
No, it's not a ... ( 5 days ago by LukeSkyscraper)
No, it's not a closed system :) but for the purposes of my explanation it could be considered one. There's friction between the ball and the rails, between the ball and any air present, there's sound waves being given off, I dare say even temperature variations will have an effect (clock pendulums are often designed to compensate for temperature variation to maintain length) all manner of things could be having minute but significant effects over time.
I agree. Making it ... ( 5 days ago by timmy334)
I agree. Making it a vacuum would increase the life of it considerably. If you remove the air friction, that's one less factor working against it. Also, that would remove the sound. That is energy being lost. So, that would actually solve two factors. Now if you could get rid of that pesky surface friction...

the machine does lose its energy after a long period of time, but this machine is the closest thing to a perpetual machine we will ever see

my reaction after seeing this is ....this is beautiful...
after all this is not a closed system but i guess 99.99% of energy it produced is absorbed by itself...beatiful.. though it make sound we can hear so it loses energy of course...

the trick is not that it produces the energy itself, but it uses gravity to keep motion, it's from gravity that it takes energy, it wouldn't work in space, even if modified...
