Yeah, yeah, that's it. Overbalance a wind turbine and we can have free electricity when the wind dies down. I'm writing Algore and Uhbama and get rich and a Nobel Prize and a Presidential Medal of Fraudom.
Wait a minute, I'll be taxed on that? Fageddaboutit.
The film maker did build some pretty models though.

Chris Matthews' mouth used to be a perpetual motion machine, until his
lying tongue jumped out of his head and ran screaming down K Street.

It's not exactly perpetual motion but we could quit messing around with nonsense like wind and solar if we just let Obama talk all the time. As the old saying goes, "If bullshit were electricity, Obama would be a powerhouse."

"Perpetual motion" isn't really an engineering term. Conservation of energy is still in play here. The input that overcomes the friction in the system is gravity. I know I'm being pedantic, and these are all clever devices, but in terms of "perpetual motion" none of these would get an engineer all torqued up.

That's a wonderful collection of toys; like a flea circus.
As a regular user of Boyle's Law, the self-flowing flask was my fave. The bypass to the pump is very cleverly concealed in the arm at the bottom of the flask. Look for the bubble created in the tubing as the pump primes itself. -

Perpetual motion? How about the Buttered Toast - Cat Array?

Speaking of perpetual motion, breeder reactors could make electricity essentially free, and we could have it today -- could have had it 50 years ago except for the U.S. government.
The only downside of nuclear is there is none of that CO2 to make the crops grow and drive the commies crazy. -
