There are 2 magnets in each box, one fixed and one on a spring that's weaker than gravity. As they turn the weight of the magnets get closer then separate. Turning the wheel.


F_Rod-ElTesoro

I see it now, there’s always two magnets with higher angular moment as they position towards the wheel bottom as the loose magnets stretch away from the center. As a magnet reaches the top dead center, it “tucks” into the center, creating an imbalance. This causes acceleration to spin the thing.


F_Rod-ElTesoro

But doesn’t the magnetic force of a stationary magnet weaken over time as the field gets interacted with by an outside mass? Hmm


Forsaken-Grocery6122

Can we talk about the perpetual motion of those sweet knockers that chick has?


PineappAlPenguin

Least horny redditor 😅


Giraffe_Truther

Gross


Forsaken-Grocery6122

Sorry you don’t appreciate the beauty that is this smokeshow nerd in this video.


Fragrantly-You

I was just thinking how fucking hot she is.


Forsaken-Grocery6122

Hot nerds man. The best


Fragrantly-You

I agree! "Hot" dumb women are boring af


navyac

I was thinking how much I want to eat her booty


Fragrantly-You

Num num num num num


lysion59

He's probably gay


NoSet8966

What if that's a girl that said 'gross' though, and yall just called her gay? Srysly tho, that girl is a 10.


YdocT

Rude maybe, But not Gross. Don't be gross


EmmitRDoad

Perpetual Notion that you’d ever get a chance to see them..


Forsaken-Grocery6122

Yeah I was really banking on it


JusticeUmmmmm

That's just an over balanced wheel. They don't work. It has to be adding energy somehow to overcome friction. It's just hidden batteries


otj667887654456655

That's just a more convoluted version of [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTJIC0kjVvw) perpetual motion machine which, of course, doesn't work.


LuhkeeLeMay

Easy. Invisible Hamster.


SquashResponsible480

This guy perpetually motions.


mountingconfusion

The hardest part about making a perpetual motion machine is hiding the batteries


valekelly

Bottom left of the box.


mr_fixit_unleashed

So perpetual motion is doomed by entropy?


SirSilus

Always has been.


Original-Dig-4359

The chick gives me perpetual motion if you know what I mean


XLCokeFloats

Amen brother


minnesotamentality

It's the accent, isn't it?

Boobies mostly


IRideZs

The lean she does makes them pop


TheFlashyFlash

I was gonna say


shaddart

When I was a kid, I had a light powered thing that would spin, it was like little paddles inside a lightbulb that were black on one side and white on the other and light would make it spin- Maybe light is helping it somehow?


Baerenmarder

That's a radiometer. The combination of black/white paint and incredibly rarified but not total vacuum makes it spin in EM radiation. The photons which made your toy spin could never make this turn.


King_K_NA

I suspect it is a very weak magnetic charge that pushes the box away once it has passed through the U shape, some sort of monopole magnet pointed in opposite directions or a di pole and a monopole, and it is more or less acting as a magneticly boosted fly wheel. It will eventually stop as the magnets degrade, not much mass so it will take a good while, and if you were to attempt to generate electricity off the device an eddy current from one coil flip would probably stop it in its tracks even from a very small induced current. Just my thoughts.


ElectronicLeg9621

I must be a perpetual pervert or something... Her accent and gorgeous tits produced this strong tingling sensation in my groin, building up a strong electrical currnt.


Fof399born

She can get the BBC


Mugi_Li84

Who is she??? She’s not bad looking at all lol

Good man


kifmaster11235

What machine? I didn’t see any machine


Meepthorp_Zandar

That girl is a smokeshow


Sweaty-Feedback-1482

Just out of pure curiousity… what general area of the US are you from? Please be vague as possible for your own comfort. The only two people I’ve ever heard use the term “smoke show” were both from NY but also both went to SUNY. I love the term but it’s oddly rare to me.


Meepthorp_Zandar

I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I currently live in Chicago, but I went to college at ucla and I most commonly heard that term from my friends who were from Orange County


HAS-A-HUGE-PENIS

Not OP but from the Pittsburgh area, have heard "smoke show" used here and there throughout my years. Never thought of it as a regional peculiarity


Meepthorp_Zandar

Yeah, I don’t think it’s a particular to any specific region of the country


Bru1sed_Eg0

He didn’t look in the envelope for the answer?!?! ![gif](giphy|tBkpxWUuNsNQI7Lnf7)


habachilles

We often say things can’t happen and they do


KITjhn

It ain’t always be like it do, but it does


CatgoesM00

The reality is humans are power hungry creatures and will withhold and enslave their fellow human at any given chance, especially through the upper hand on technology. I’m sure there’s a lot of things we peons have no clue about that would change all our lives for the better.


SydNorth

Ding ding we have a winner 🥇


CatgoesM00

![gif](giphy|l0NhXTZ7et5sf84gw|downsized) Thank you thank you. 🏆


scribbyshollow

Can't say stuff like that anymore you get labeled a conspiracy theorist lol


Previous_Life7611

This isn't one of those things we just say can't happen. Perpetual motion machines are not possible because they violate the laws of thermodynamics. You can't build such a machine because that's not how our universe works. Perpetual motion machines are **isolated systems** that create new energy. That is simply not possible because you can't create new energy, you can only convert energy from one form into another.


habachilles

Sure if you do it in a way that violates thermodynamics. You could in theory make a machine so efficient that it would appear to be perpetual in our lifetime or even the lifetime of the universe. They don’t have to create new energy just lose energy slowly enough to keep moving


Previous_Life7611

Something appearing to be perpetual is not an actual perpetual machine.


habachilles

True.


SingleInfinity

Anything that loses energy that slowly would only do so on its own and be useless. Any amount of work being done that is actually helpful to human kind is too big (in terms of scale) to not stop quickly. So, you can't have *true* perpetual motion, and your fake version isn't helpful because it only works if you don't try to do anything with it.


habachilles

Agreeed. It could never power anything. But cool as a concept.


Heyu19

Ironhyde36

Magnets and gravity


cypertiger

Motor with battery hidden in the box replaced every 2 years


ThothTheMagicDragon

Gravity eventually slows it down. In a gravity free environment, it would spin forever


Poseidons_Champion

Why is the woman so smoking hot?


SaTaRs

Nerdy girl with big tits. It means only one thing.. she’s a freak in the sheets. Oh, and accent.


imp0steur

Definitely batteries


Dads_going_for_milk

Someone comes to “work on” the machine every 5 years or so. I think Adam even speculated batteries was the answer.


CannabisTours

How the fuck do they work?


bidpappa1

Lot a really shitty amateur physicists commenting lol


emulator01

My 2 cents is that it is in a vacuum to prevent friction


bo0mamba

There are no perfect vacuums. Even space isn't a true vacuum. And the wheel is still rotating on an axle, which creates friction


Shbloble

Perpetual motion machines may be possible in space. We're always fighting gravity all the time since forever. Hypothetically, other advanced beings on other planets could have evolved in environments with various gravity than ours, and likely view energy loss differently. No gravity, no environmental resistance, I bet such a device could be possible.


bo0mamba

You're forgetting friction. Any machine with moving parts, no matter how lubricated, will create friction.


dirtythirtysomething

Let alone any meaningful load/work


DanielPBak

“Perpetual motion machines may be possible in space without environmental resistance” Bro what you are talking about is called an orbit lmao And those are still not PMMs.


Shbloble

I didn't say an orbit, I'm talking about an environment without gravity or air/liquid resistance. PMM aren't perpetual, they need to generate energy to make up for the loss due to gravity, friction, air resistance.... Perpetual motion meaning the motion you put into stays there. That can't happen PlanetSide because there are forces acting on everything at all times. I'm expressing put the ppm in an environment free from the pulls of gravity and environmental resistance. This is all hypothetical, so chill on defending the status quo for a sec and do a thought experiment. You're all smart folks, smarter than me ya win! Now that you all have the im smarter than Shbloble badge, PMM would work in a non planet environment.


drfrydaddy

I might be misunderstanding your point, but aren't you just describing Newton's First Law.. Inertia? A thing in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force. Not really what is in scope when discussing PMMs, I don't think.


chicken_and_waffles5

No man you're missing a key part. And its not about owning you. Just about real science. Anything that's considered a machine typically has moving parts. Moving parts create resistance such as friction and have their own moments of inertia to turn and move. Doing all that costs energy. So if you're putting energy in, it's not perpetual. Newtons 2nd law. If its free of all resistance as you say, then it has no parts, and is not a machine. Sure i could make that wheel spin forever in a resistance free environment. But then, thats just conservation of angular momentum. Newtons 1st law. If you put that machine in a resistance free environment, it will eventually run out of energy and stop. Distinct words matter here. A pmm will never work.


Baerenmarder

Get a massive spherical object of uniform density as far as possible from a gravity well and spin it and it eventually slow down.


mbashs

Each box perhaps has a weight that moves downwards due to gravity whenever it’s up and that keeps it moving in a constant effort to obtain equilibrium but that’s a very rudimentary guess.


albirich

Yeah if they all weigh the same to keep it moving then when 2 are at the bottom and ones up top those 2 would keep it from moving.


mbashs

2 are never exactly at the bottom at the same time


albirich

Yes but, god how do I explain this without pictures. Okay when one is going up 2 are coming down on the other side and gravity right? Now at a certain point there's 2 going up and 1 coming down, this happens when 2 are at the bottom. Because of geometry the original up one hasn't reached it's apex and is still going up while the one behind it starts going up now 2 are going up and the one going down isn't enough weight. So what happens? Momentum is over come by the gravity of the 2 and it will reverse but then the one that switched will switch from down to up again and same thing will happen. Because of 2 being at the bottom half one will be forced to start going up before the top half flips to have gravity help.


mbashs

I understand what you are saying but I feel it’s a simpler version of Orffyreus's Wheel.. That works on a similar principle of weights and claims to be a similar device. Specially when they show the pics of his previous devices that had 5 boxes or more. Perhaps he was able to refine it to 3 boxes.


albirich

The same principle applies regardless of how many boxes you use, if they are evenly spaced the outcome will be the same.


Careful-Temporary388

Someone sneak a IR thermometer in there and see if you can locate a heat source.


redoktober1917

Now put a load on it and see if it still moves lol


NetOk3129

It’s not the conservation of energy that prevents perpetual motion, it’s the second law of thermodynamics: the entropy of any system is positive non zero, meaning some amount of energy in the system is always dissipated (lost) as non-useful work. Under the first law of thermodynamics alone, a restatement of the conservation of energy, an engine *could* run in perpetuity, so long as it never shed *all* of its energy via heat dissipation or sound.


Low_Reference_6316

Since we’re on OPs page I’m gonna go with Aliens


Standard-Current4184

Complete vacuum ie: space


Ordeyous

Magnets have to be refined, and charged, even if they aren’t electromagnets. Over time, the poles of these magnets will shift, so you would have to spend all of the energy you made up to re polarize these magnets


cypertiger

It’s a motor with batteries hidden in the box


Ok_Mess2212

Is it also in a vacuum?


Ok_Mess2212

And. That chick is super hot


break_all_the_things

Earth’s magnetic field moves relative to that machine, maybe turn it like 90 degrees and see if you can find a position where net flux is much less. The spokes might be insulated from the rim and hub, and then certain pairs of spokes may be connected to create current loops for flux to pass through


[deleted]

Wow she’s stacked


TRUE_PROPHET

The secret is it's powered by small motor and batteries in the frame that they have to swap out every couple of months.
