There is no such thing as perpetual motion. Even the planets around the Sun will break their orbits (in billions of years). Perpetual motion means that the energy put into intiating a reaction is equal to the output.

10/10 for that contraption, even more impressive than that Honda advert some years ago (which took 616 attempts, I wonder how many goes it took these guys?)

Perpetual motion can happen in a zero gravity and zero polarity enviroment. The planets may break their orbit, but that has nothing to do with perpetual motion. The plants will continue to spin even after the break orbit because nothing will stop them, however I think that space is the only case of P. energy. At least that's what I remember from physics :-\.

It was new to me. So cool. Kind of reminds me of the movie Russian Ark.

Agreed, this is the only actual perpetual motion machine ever:

By perpetual motion, I just meant it kept going, lol. You nerds! ; )

Looks like the correct term is a Rube Goldberg device. I stand educated...

Damnit I got excited to see a video of a true perpetual motion device. Then got even more bummed out when I realized I had already seen this video. I hope this thread burns in hell
