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 :)

Tell a friend:















As the ball rotates it passes under magnets and runs over litte ramps that swing the weights down below.
The track falls in front of the ball so the ball is running down hill all the time.
The track up and down motion is controled by the magnets and weights .
I would like to see someone inspect it for any tricks . But it does look real.
It's not real.
i believe it yo music to my ears
if they haven't already, i bet making that container a vacuum would help alot, even though it would be hard
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.
