How The Perpetual Motion Device Works! 😳  

Why is that funny? It's obvious

@@dinglebop5700 Yeah, It's obvious that perpetual motion isn't a thing, but the fact that the engineers always have to find a way to hide an engine to make the machine look "credible" just points out that ain't no perpetual motion after all 🤓

It's not the engine that's hidden, it's the power supply. The idea of perpetual motion is that it can sustain or produce more than the initial energy input, so hiding the engine is never a concern, its hiding the constant energy input, batteries.

Thought we cracked the code lll. Now if it could send the energy wirelessly Some Tesla magic

This is some kind of art Hiding it and keep the surface clean is the part of it

Yep. People saying it's CG are trying too hard. This kind of thing is basically never CG and Chris (no offence to him and his team) is not exactly a CGI artist.

Especially with a handheld camera shot. If it was CGI it would likely use either nonreflective balls and a static camera angle just to make it easier to model and render.

@@Zelmel I'd say people claiming it's CG aren't trying at all. It's such an easy thing to throw given how much easier it's become to fake stuff with computers these days.

@@tjenadonn6158 Nah, it's relatively easy to do with a handheld camera and reflective balls. You can just use a cube map for reflections. That's not the limitation, the limitations are that he interacts with it and the amount of time it would take to make those effects look good.

@@ZackRToler But an effect like this is SIGNIFICANTLY easier to fake as a practical effect and make it look good.

underrated comment

Beat me to it

@@trapper7954 this comment is on literally every video about perpetual motion multiple times

The hardest part about making a perpetual motion machine is figuring out where to hide the andrew tate

Haha

Nah it’s more like the cube guys from all tomorrows

@@42617a the colonials?

I know how to do it. I have it

Bro the source of power is gravity

@@breadtunes do you understand sarcasm?

Literature is also hard for some

@@themonetizer413 I think you mean Grammar

​@@daethenix669 I think you meant "grammar". It's not a proper noun.

@@blankname8553 big oof on my part

It’s not real

Flat earthers claim CGI at least once a day

How do we know you're not cgi?

They think it's magic. Despite the fact that he touched the device, and that even 200 million dollar budget movies can't make it look 100% real. Meanwhile people have been doing practical effects for thousands of years, and yet people don't think of that.

Yeah because its a trick.It's like explaining how a magic trick works. It's just a clever toy I don't know why some people feel so irritated by it that they need to forcefully explain away the idea of a perpetual motion machine even though most people who see this device enjoy it for what it is.

I haven't seen one person saying that yet.

Well, you were correct. Don't doubt yourself next time.

1. No because the magnet needs to be able to turn on and off for this one to work. 2. Normal magnets only work because they have electricity flowing inside them.

No you don’t, you need to go outside

I would like 3 of them

​@applesauce1bob1 what if I go outside all the time but still want one?

They're $5,000 a piece.

@@paramour208 I've got $15k

I mean, it's not difficult to see what would happen. It would do a little jump and land back on the track much lower down, or possibly fall of the track.

The ball wouldnt be able to reach back to the platform

It's because most people that understand it doesn't buy scam products, and most people who make videos about it are trying to scam people.

​@@SilverEye91 I doubt that. That's not really how people use the word scam. I think you mean that it's obviously not a perpetual motion device, so there is a trick to making it look like that, and you don't like that everyone doesn't show how it works. If you're irritated by that, then just say that. People know that perpetual motion devices don't exist. People are just showing a cool device, not scamming people into buying... other people's products? You should probably take a breath. At most you could say that someone is falsely advertising, if they are ACTUALLY ADVERTISING, if they claim perpetual motion devices are actually real and you are buying one with no proper discription before you bought it. If someone is selling an item for a magic trick in an advertisement and doesn't explain how that magic trick works, are they falsely advertising? No, especially not if that isn't an item that they are selling or getting a cut in selling, but you'd have a better argument for that than a scam. Even if you don't understand these things, you'll probably get a description of the product no matter where you go to buy one. The device is working, that's what they are supposed to do. You can look at it and see that there is probably something underneath to help the ball.

@@melanierose4140 No, people don't all believe that perpetual motion devices exist. Just look at the comments. And when these devices are sold many do not say that it's false. Furthermore the patent offices get tons of these designs that claim to be real, to the point where they now just throw anything out that claims to be that without even looking at it. What a weird thing to dude Melanie, why are you defending people that make these BS products just to fool the uneducated?

The metal ball bridges the connection between the two metal rails. That's most likely how it's done I'd say.

Gee thanks

Obviously lol, perpetual motion machines arent real

You can't imagine?

The ball wouldnt reach back up to the platform, isnt that kinda obvious?

@@idkwhatnonamemyself1951 good point

@@minecraftdoombot2367 i think theres a video by davehax that shows it off a bit more, including without the magnet i think. You can check it out if you want.

@@idkwhatnonamemyself1951 Thanks :P
