DAMN YOU FRICTION!
IdownvotePeopleWhoComplainAboutDownvoters
Inb4 somebody claims that Nicola Tesla made some sort of perpetual motion thingamabob that Edison and the Illuminati have suppressed..
BigIrishGuy
I could watch this for hours... wait... what time is it... damn it!!

*low friction machines
DavidBrooker
People always say there has to be some friction, but the truth is perpetual motion is impossible even for frictionless machines.
DavidBrooker
Although the above defines a perpetual motion machine as one that does work; this limitation can be shown through analysis of heat engines.
mrpichica
I fucking love these things
Valeriesmeat
Lies! Beautiful hypnotising lies.
TobySomething
Every machine is perpetual motion if you loop the gif
Rololo
God he's right...

Pseudo* Perpetual Motion Machines
ElSuperbeasto
Oh wow! No gravity, friction, laws of thermodynamics, etc!
Sauroctonus
You mean "Motion for quite a while but certainly not perpertual machines".
DrunkEagle
HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE PERFECT LOOPS FOR THESE?!
Fingerfumble
Im sorry
Duckfan91
Some of these remind me of the ferris wheel at California Adventure. That thing is scary as s***.
SylvesterMarcus
Love that ride. Unfortunately, nobody else in the family does.
Duckfan91
No doubt. I cannot get mine to go on it either.

ALOT OF PERFECT LOOOOOP
supersaiyanfirefighter
Does anybody know how long one of these has run for? Or what a "PPM" record is? Just curious.
ngthagg
You're not sure if they work or not? Maybe you should go back and read that sentence that starts "This kind of machine is impossible . . ."
sunsetclimber
true perpetual motion is impossible. Motion that goes on so long it might as well be perpetual is possible.
Freeburn84
That's wheelie good!!

O speculators about perpetual motion, how many vain chimeras have you created in the like quest? - Da Vinci
fulham
Is that a real Da Vinci quote?
cobrapup
I believe thesek were made with tiny motors insode, can't remember. Still I will watch a perp mach every time it is shown.
fenrirthviti
They were. Most are from the same YouTube series.
mikeatike
"im not sure if they work or not" @op... you are a moron
Fingerfumble
sorry kind sir, can you forgive me?
mikeatike
yes, i will +1 this comment to counteract the -1 of this post
Fingerfumble
Thank you sir, i will remember this moment forever in my heart
Tockz
I'll take "Things I would print on my 3D Printer" for $300 Alex.
mikeatike
You can get a 3D printer for about $300 but you will need a bigger one for a lot of this stuff.
wabitgirl
Not a single one of these work and they never, ever, ever will in this universe.

yes!
Zorhodor
Now add tiny cera heads to all the balls.
BritishBatman
That new engine that NASA made violates the laws of physics, so everything's pretty much out the window at this point.
Trion13
Well they way they put it was that it LOOKS like it's breaking physics. They're sure it isn't, they just don't know why it looks like it is.
CaptainShutTheFuckUp
Perpetual motion is impossible.
BoomboxGuy
Which mean the are amazing but worthless.
AndresVargas
Can this be used to create sustainable power?
SuckMyBattleship
No.
Canofminus
No, because the machine needs to be able to work against the resistance needed to generate the energy. Like a skateboard on a half pipe 1/?
Canofminus
the downward inertia would need to be => the energy needed to compensate for the friction of the wheels + gravity.
goodnessgraciousme
Yes actually that's what they are all doing they are scale models of how Denmark generates its electricity
awesock
How stupid are you? All the stupid
GiftedAspie
What about in a vacuum though? No friction there, at least in terms of air friction.
witsd
…amount of energy, but you can't use it to MAKE energy).
witsd
In a vacuum AND in a magnetic suspension, then you can keep something spinning indefinitely (you can use the principle to store a large…
MGMG
No, even in a vacuum with magnetic suspension it still won't spin forever. The magnetic field creates drag.
amglasgow
Even then there's loss of energy due to magnetic field interactions, and no vacuum is perfect.
fictitiousspoon
Also everything above absolute zero radiates away energy.

YOU SWINE DON'T YOU DARE TELL MY VACUUM SHE'S NOT PERFECT SHE'S MY LITTLE ANGEL
