Look how unnecessarily thick the base is. Batteries.

Sadly you are right. Here is another with a thinner base, but with battery propulsion.

My grandpappy always said: Be suspicious of Jews and perpetual motion machines mounted on thick blocks.

Put "water powered cars are 100% and the inventor was totally killed to keep it quiet" is absolutely legit. Right?

[ - ] Master_Foo 0 points 1 weekMay 30, 2025 19:12:12 ago (+0/-0)

Yeah.
The Jews got the guy who built a fireplace that can burn ash, too.

[ - ] i_scream_trucks 1 point 1 weekMay 30, 2025 18:53:55 ago (+1/-0)

No.

conservation of energy called. You are in violation of the laws of physics.

Remind me how often now has one (or many) laws of physics been changed since its inception? I forget! Being a so-called scientist is being able to make definitive pronouncements at will, then later altering or scrapping them entirely, all the while demanding unwavering faith in the accuracy of the source.

It defies the laws of physics because the height of the marbles after flying up is higher than the bottom of the funnel.

Conservation of energy says that without any external forces (added power or friction) an object will return the same height - not be propelled upwards like the video shows.

Most likely some sort of powered mechanism is flinging the marbles higher.

Do you see the dime sized metal object counter-sunk into the wooden base? It could be a small magnet at the base of the ramp.

Additonally the ball-bearing has momentum before it even enters the chute.

[ - ] localsal 1 point 2 weeksMay 30, 2025 12:25:49 ago (+1/-0)

Unless it is an electromagnet that is exactly timed, the energy gained pulling the marble closer will be lost as the magnet pulls the marble back after it passes. Conservation of energy again. The same bowling ball experiment can be set up with magnets.

Presuming the system will continue forever like that, where would the energy be extracted from without losing the motion of the system?

The best place would be to construct a "ferris wheel" catch mechanism above the funnel use the rotation of the ferris wheel to power a generator. That would probably take a lot of perfect timing, and it seems like the marbles are just a bit out of a perfect formation due to the entering of the funnel.

It has a battery and a bunch of sensors in it. Ball goes through a hall sensor a couple of magnets fire on and off in sequence and accellerate the metal ball enough to hit the scoop.

Put a glass marble in it and kick yourself in the ass.

[ - ] Nosferatjew 1 point 2 weeksMay 30, 2025 12:15:30 ago (+1/-0)

But, how would you charge the battery that powers the machine?

[ - ] KosherHiveKicker [op] -1 points 2 weeksMay 30, 2025 12:17:46 ago (+0/-1)*

Is there actually a battery?

It looks like gravity, and perhaps even a small magnet at the base are being used to propel the ball bearings back into the dish.

[ - ] Nosferatjew 1 point 2 weeksMay 30, 2025 12:47:36 ago (+1/-0)

Definitely a battery. Just a magnet on it's own would not make this work.

[ - ] FreeinTX 1 point 2 weeksMay 30, 2025 13:47:48 ago (+1/-0)

That's not gravity hurling the ball down that ramp.

[ - ] i_scream_trucks 1 point 1 weekMay 30, 2025 18:59:00 ago (+1/-0)

Its battery powered.

"But how do ypu charge the battery?"

How do you charge the batteries in an old watch? You dont. You replace them. Not all batteries are rechargeable.

[ - ] FreeinTX 0 points 2 weeksMay 30, 2025 13:46:41 ago (+0/-0)

Lol. Did you think anyone would believe it?

[ - ] KosherHiveKicker [op] -1 points 2 weeksMay 30, 2025 13:53:25 ago (+0/-1)

Correctly placed, UNPOWERED magnets could be used to gain momentum. Combine this with gravity and it's seems possible.

[ - ] Her0n 1 point 1 weekMay 30, 2025 18:47:15 ago (+1/-0)

Not at all, stop pushing jewish/chink trickery.

You really think you'll find the truth that defies all human knowledge in a 30 second youtube short?

Fuck off you retard

Nah but a friend of a friend of mine converted his car to water power and drove to the antarctic ice wall.

[ - ] Her0n 0 points 1 weekMay 31, 2025 04:44:57 ago (+0/-0)

Sounds like he was headed for the promised land of fuel for his invention

[ - ] i_scream_trucks 1 point 1 weekMay 30, 2025 19:00:39 ago (+1/-0)

It
Has
A
Battery.

Perpetual motion is nothing but a sci fi trope.

Reality doesnt allow it.

[ - ] FreeinTX 0 points 2 weeksMay 30, 2025 13:59:02 ago (+0/-0)

No. As the metal object moves towards the magnet it gains energy, but as it moves away from the magnet it loses energy in the exact same magnitude. The friction on the rails takes energy to overcome both ways, so less overall momentum is generated moving towards the magnet as is removed moving away from the magnet.

There are no perpetual motion machines.

And take a good look. The balls at the top of the ramp are moving way too fast to attribute it to gravity.

I found the concealed battery. my mistake.

[ - ] Reawakened 0 points 2 weeksMay 30, 2025 12:16:52 ago (+0/-0)

LOL!!! I think it's used to discharge a battery.

[ - ] i_scream_trucks 0 points 1 weekMay 30, 2025 19:01:20 ago (+0/-0)

This man knows.

[ - ] Her0n -1 points 1 weekMay 30, 2025 18:45:04 ago (+0/-1)*

If you think this isn't then you are a true idiot. No hope left for you.

Now tell me you're a flat earther or a "space is fake and gay" fool

[ - ] KosherHiveKicker [op] 0 points 1 weekMay 31, 2025 13:33:58 ago (+0/-0)

I honestly thought the use of a passive magnet to assist repelling the ball-bearing back up to the dish was legit.

[ - ] Her0n 0 points 1 weekMay 31, 2025 20:03:28 ago (+0/-0)

It's impossible to make a perpetual energy generator. A PEG breaks the laws of physics.
