@@paradoxstudios6639 erm.. No. He has literally just explained to you in this video that there is a hidden electromagnet that is cleverly used to impart more energy into the ball so it gets enough energy to jump back up to the top of the device. Did you not watch the video?
@@paradoxstudios6639 False. Please, avoid speaking from a place of confidence on topics you do not understand. You can clearly see the EM field making the ball jump about in the bowl just after the return on some passes. Im guessing there is a little bit of ringing, or hysteresis, or false trigger in the system, causing the ball to interact with the magnetic field of the coil around the hole. Id vote hysteresis of the field collapse since it pushes the ball away, the same way it would have when it fired except backwards as it pushes the ball up instead of sucking it down(if the ball were in the hole it would go up instead of down. The normal mode is to be pushed down, of course). So its on the reverse swing of dumping energy and ringing out as inductors do. But I can clearly state my OPINION as OPINION and not as if its a point of factual truth. Its a guess, having not owned one. An assumption. An opinion based on review and experience with electronics and magnetics. The ball would impart more force and there for friction, regardless if its rolling or not, as the radius got smaller therefore accelerating it as you propose. This would be a net loss of efficiency in the system as a whole. But, Im not saying it doesnt help. Im sure it helps shape the curve it needs to follow for maximum efficiency through the system given its mass, rolling friction, and added kinetic energy kick from the coil. However, remember, A ball will 'gain' rotational energy as it rolls down diverging rails, and lose energy on converging ones. So if these converge, or narrow, than its exchanging its kinetic energy with the rails to tighten its curve(ie, increase its velocity vectors rate of change. To change velocity in any way requires an energy exchange, therefore the energy it had when it fell is reduced for every interval of exchange. It cannot have more energy than it started with purely under earths gravity alone, it needs a little extra to spend on the rails diverting it to end up with an equal(same height) or greater(or higher) height when it returns. This extra energy to lose imparted into the rails as it falls is given to the ball by the electromagnetic coil. Basically its a tiny repeating rail gun ;)
Yes, I agree. I would like to know just how close or far it comes to reaching its goal with no magnet. Does it come close at all, or does it just plop down at the end and not get much lift at all?
It a rechargeable electro magnet so I guess as it goes flat this thing would stop working...Shame they couldn't do it with just standard magnets that would be cool.
@@nonyabiz6005 No it wouldn't work because it has to shut the magnetism off as the ball is going back up again. A permanent magnet would make it accelerate down but keep it from going up again. The electromagnet pull down but deactivates when it gets to the bottom.
Except it isn’t a magnet, well, there are magnets, but not like you think. There is a small electric motor spinning a wheel. The edge of the week is in the throat of the hopper. When the marble drops into the hopper’s throat, the wheel grabs it and flings it down. At least that’s how the one I bought works and there are other vids showing this, and none showing any “magnetic” based system.
@Jojo I never said they could exist. What I meant was even though it sells itself as a perpetual motion machine, it's not so obvious how it works. Others only hide the battery. This one hides the propulsion system as well, which makes it pretty cool to look at.
@hamid moradi Well, I think when someone says perpetual motion, they mean getting more energy than is put in. In this machine, the ball gets throw up higher than the level where it was let go from. Simple running almost forever isn't really perpetual motion IMO. You could, in theory, make a machine that will go forever if you used magnetic bearings and a near perfect vacuum, but it would likely just run a really long time rather than indefinitely and you certainly wouldn't get more energy out than you put in. Getting more energy out than is put in is impossible, but having something rotate or orbit forever is, at least in theory, possible.
@@captainamericaamerica8090 all perpetual motion devices are cheating. What makes this one cool is that the propulsion mechanism is also hidden, as well as the battery. But even knowing that its battery power, this is still cool AF.
Clever, and I couldn’t understand how the ball achieved such velocity by just falling the short distance down the track. Probably would not have thought of a magnet, but as soon as you mentioned it, embarrassed not to have figure it out. Now I want one for my cat.😹
A magnet alone is not enough, it needs electric power in the metal rails. As for a cat, I imagine that a cat could spends hours looking at it, couldn't he ?
I have been seeing the picture and finally realized that it's as thus guy says at the end. I watched the video and from the first drop, I saw what you did and it was obvious that it was being accelerated. So from there, the only mystery was what brand if magnet is it?
Another thing not mentioned here is that the ball has to be in a circular motion in top dial. This doesn't work if you just throw it down the hole. I bet there is some electromagnetism happening up there as well. There are 2 batteries in this. One in the top dial & other one in base.
@@timothyball3144 not a magnet - at least not on the one’s I’ve seen. It’s a motor in the hopper that drives a small wheel the flings the marble down the throat of the hopper faster than gravity would pull it.
This would be a great product to manufacture and market, just as a conversation piece. If it is a reasonable price, I will certainly buy one. Is it available for sale? Please, I want one. Edit: I just saw the link in the description. Thank you very much.
NASA engineer here. NO, it would NOT work with a permanent magnet. A permanent magnet would have the effect of both accelerating it down the ramp then also wanting to pull it back down the ramp as the ball gets past the magnet ready to launch. The reason why there is an electromagnet is because it has a sensor that turns the magnet on ONLY when the ball initially comes down the ramp from the hole in the platform above, then it automatically shuts off at the exact time the ball comes closest to the magnet. That way the ball experiences enhanced acceleration coming down the ramp but does not get pulled backward as it goes past the magnet because the magnet is turned off at that point. The sensor can be the electromagnet itself, because the steel ball interacts with the magnetic field flux and this interaction results in a change of inductance in the coil which can be sensed by the electronic circuit that controls the current in the coil. So you see, it's a lot more complicated than you think. It's not just an electromagnet that stays on all the time, because that wouldn't work either.
To NASA Engineer, can you tell me why we could go to the moon in 1969, with a rocket made from cardboard, and a washing up liquid bottle, yet we can’t go there now lol……..Oh and how is it possible that NASA lost all of the old recordings and data of what is considered, to be the greatest human achievement of all time lmao?
But if a permanent magnet hallbach array accelerated the ball moving towards it at a faster rate than when the ball moves away from it then theoretically we should be able to get a true perpetual motion effect. I'm off to my test bed!
I'm not so sure the electromagnet is in the base. It could be in the round piece with the hole in it at the top. The windings could be wrapped around and around the hole. As the ball goes through the hole a sensor applies current to the electromagnet and that propels the ball downward, giving it enough momentum to jump back up to the top. The metal supports could be supplying the electrical power from the base up to the top piece.
@@Laptopdog78 These are the same old nonsensical claims that have been repeated and debunked a hundred times over. Instead of parroting this same conspiracy garbage and laughing your ass off like a demented hyena why don't you start doing some serious research using the many reliable, diverse and independent information sources that are available. Then you will understand that neither the rocket nor the spacecraft were made from cardboard, why we haven't been back to the moon since the 1970's and how the enormous evidentiary record documenting the moon missions in extreme detail still exists minus some old "telemetry tapes" that were no longer needed after a successful mission was over.
How does it know when to pulse the magnet? Is there a sensor somewhere? I thought it might check if the two wires are electrically connected (by the conductive ball), but it seems that the wires touch anyway.
Are you sure that’s how it works? That’s what I assumed too until I bought one to check. On my model, in the “funnel” type contraption, there was a little motor driving a small wheel. A tiny bit of the wheel stuck out into the “throat” of the funnel accelerating the marble down, giving it enough energy to jump back into the hopper. Does yours have a power switch? Look into the throat to see if you can see something protruding. Out your ear up to the hopper to see if you can hear the motor.
First i saw this on Chris Ramsey’s channel, and I was curious so I searched it. Then I come upon RamZland, explaining the thing I was interested in. Apparently this is a Ramsey thing. Someone’s gotta show Gordon.
Anyone know where I can get exactly the same machine shown in the video? It looks nicely made compared to most of the ones available that mostly don't work anyway! Unfortunately, the link in the description no longer works.

Capturing excess energy from the earth (wind, solar, ocean waves) does not count as 'perpetual motion'. Yes, acquired results. But no free lunch. Whole different topic.
How about a 100 foot fall with a 1000 pound ball and tracks the size of a roller coaster and a magnet the size of a manhole cover. Wrap the track with stator wire and do you get a charge? Maybe.
Thank you for this. I was beginning to doubt my understanding of physics after having seen this video on social media many times. Then again, I should have known social media usually pushes lies.
No. Never. The mystery and attraction of Perpetual Motion Machines is 'something for nothing'. Everything has a cost. In these devices you have friction and gravity of which you cannot escape. You can reduce friction but not eliminate it. You can manage gravity but not change it. You can see the ball being 'shot' out of the bottom of the wooden plate, not just falling through. That's adding energy which makes the deception. You cannot fool Mother Nature.
As person who knows almost nothing about PM and found this channel by chance...I can ask first guestion which comes to mind...is PM everywhere around us if we get rid of gravity??
Excellent, thanks. I was ready to try a bowling ball for some real electrical voltage generation on a large scale. I had imagined the loud BOOM, BOOM, BOOM of a generator like this in some neighborhoods as a trade-off for free electricity. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
even if you had a mechanism to extract a little energy from the ball falling on the base or something, it would never be enough. You always need to add energy to the system. Theres no such thing as a free lunch
_I wonder if you could harness the energy from the ball to charge the electromagnet?_ ... but you first have to spend electrical energy to accelerate the ball - so it goes higher than where it fell down from ... ;)
on my list of to do projects, I forget what it's called but you have a wheel that self spins from the water-filled tubes/vials. the shifting weight of the water caused the center of gravity to shift keeping the wheel self-spinning.
If you actually thought there wasn't something adding energy to the system to replace what was lost then you should use that money you saved to go to school.
That explains that suspicious thick base. Or make sense if they change the ball to something non metallic. Anyway its still cool and would love to have this as display at my living room.
I don't know, but I would do it with a magnetic switch built inside the upper platform that triggers the magnet in the base to turn on for a set fraction of time that turns off just as the ball reaches the bottom.
A first tiny coil to detect the balls position, an electronic circuit and timer to energise the second coil which attracts and accelerates the ball, before switching off quickly and letting the ball continue on.. all in the base of the unit..
Well, there is nothing that says a magnet can't be employed to help create perpetual motion. Would a regular(not an electromag which needs charging) magnet work?
What if it’s not an electro magnet just a magnet. Then it doesn’t need anything and can keep running. Also if I’m dumb then I’m sorry because I don’t know much about physics (only 8th grade)
It it were just a magnet, wouldnt it attract the marble, speeding it up on the way down, but then keep attracting it, slowing its “jump” back into the funnel?
Hello, I am the orginal inventor of this. The machine shown in the video is my work. My Etsy is temporarily set on deactivated mode. Here is the link to buy it on Amazon. Please check out my channel too, to ensure my words. Thanks. www.amazon.com/dp/B09VPYCQMV/
@@harshbamnawat5917 He did not explain his purpose in more detail, but I cannot see what the effect of air pressure / vacuum would be on this. Energy cannot be removed from it either.
Yes, it would have to be switched on and off with appropriate timing. A (stationary) permanent magnet would just attract the ball and stick it to the base. My wild guess: attracting the ball increases the resistance of the electromagnetic coil slightly, decreasing the current flowing. An electronic circuit is monitoring how much current is flowing in the coil, and switches it off at the right moment.

The ball is jumping because the width near the end of hook ramp narrows thus increasing speed and efficiency to create a propelled jump.

A BODY IN MOTION TENDS TO STAY IN MOTION, A BODY AT REST TENDS TO STAY AT REST. COOL CONTRAPTION OR PIECE OF ART. 🌞👍🏻
How do you replace the battery? It should be possible to open it up? If so, why not show it?
Battery is inside to the base with a USB port which is mounted on the base shell for charging
What shi dong said
The battery is rechargeable - there’s an attachment underneath it.
I want one too!
What is the direction of current that causes the magnetic field?
Excellent, thanks. I was ready to try a bowling ball for some real electrical voltage generation on a large scale. I had imagined the loud BOOM, BOOM, BOOM of a generator like this in some neighborhoods as a trade-off for free electricity. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
Nuclear power plants are great for generating electricity. Modern designs are very safe.
I thought something was off. Thanks for the explanation!
This is really cool. I wonder if you could harness the energy from the ball to charge the electromagnet?
even if you had a mechanism to extract a little energy from the ball falling on the base or something, it would never be enough. You always need to add energy to the system. Theres no such thing as a free lunch
_I wonder if you could harness the energy from the ball to charge the electromagnet?_
... but you first have to spend electrical energy
to accelerate the ball - so it goes higher than where it fell down from ... ;)
Wouldn’t the magnet pull back the ball as it passes it. Any idea?
on my list of to do projects, I forget what it's called but you have a wheel that self spins from the water-filled tubes/vials. the shifting weight of the water caused the center of gravity to shift keeping the wheel self-spinning.
If the SkyMall catalog still existed that would be in the front cover! I want one
Thank you for saving my money. I was going to buy it.
If you actually thought there wasn't something adding energy to the system to replace what was lost then you should use that money you saved to go to school.
That explains that suspicious thick base. Or make sense if they change the ball to something non metallic. Anyway its still cool and would love to have this as display at my living room.
Does it produce enough Kenetic energy to recharge the elecromagnet again ?
Thanks. I was wondering how it worked. I knew there had to be an energy loss somewhere.
Working Systems... Master Pieces
How does the magnet attract it One Direction, but not back when it passes by to slow it back down?
I don't know, but I would do it with a magnetic switch built inside the upper platform that triggers the magnet in the base to turn on for a set fraction of time that turns off just as the ball reaches the bottom.
because it is electromagnet, when the ball passes it, the magnet had been turn off.
A first tiny coil to detect the balls position, an electronic circuit and timer to energise the second coil which attracts and accelerates the ball, before switching off quickly and letting the ball continue on.. all in the base of the unit..
Well, there is nothing that says a magnet can't be employed to help create perpetual motion. Would a regular(not an electromag which needs charging) magnet work?
I want to buy one
There’s a purchase link in the description.
What if it’s not an electro magnet just a magnet. Then it doesn’t need anything and can keep running. Also if I’m dumb then I’m sorry because I don’t know much about physics (only 8th grade)
My life will never be same again
cool ha hell... where can I buy one?
So why didn’t you flip it over and show that part or at least go into detail how that part works and how it is aligned. Just left us hanging!!!! Weak!
Because it is a perpetual motion machine. He's just afraid of someone stealing it.
I was waiting to see it with the magnet turned off.
Yea def weak
Do you really need that kind of proof? The ball is clearly accelerating to much.
😀Yeah
The etsy listing has gone - anyone know where I can plan buy one or a set of plans?
Good evening to all from SE Louisiana 9 May 22.
Beverly clock explanation video please
On that Etsy link below this video it says: sorry, this item is unavailable.
It it were just a magnet, wouldnt it attract the marble, speeding it up on the way down, but then keep attracting it, slowing its “jump” back into the funnel?
Good question. It is a electromagnet, which needs to turned off quickly to release the ball, not attracting it.
so do you have to recharge the magnet, or it's always charged?
I would like to know this too. It will definitely need recharging but how? USB? Power adapter? and how long does it last on a single full charge?
Why doesn’t anyone show where to purchase this device? 🧐
Hello, I am the orginal inventor of this. The machine shown in the video is my work. My Etsy is temporarily set on deactivated mode. Here is the link to buy it on Amazon. Please check out my channel too, to ensure my words. Thanks. www.amazon.com/dp/B09VPYCQMV/
It’s in the description…
I wonder if there’s a way to charge the battery without the wood charging block. The $30. Machines on eBay do not come with the charging block .
it is scam bro. Watch out for your money. China sellers copy photos of hot products then offer for very cheap prices to cheat people.
Wow , amazing 👏 .
I just want it to go down the hole already, the spinning around gets me anxious enough to want to break it
So does the magnet turn on and off with appropriate timing to accelerate the ball? If not, wouldn't a non-electric magnet work?
Such perpetuum mobiles have been made, but the non-electric magnet gradually loses its power if energy is taken from it. So it doesn't work.
@@Arskanbooki how about the vaccum thing he mentioned. Wouldn't that help?
@@harshbamnawat5917 He did not explain his purpose in more detail, but I cannot see what the effect of air pressure / vacuum would be on this. Energy cannot be removed from it either.
@@Arskanbooki can you answer Northwest's first question? I'm interested to know how the magnet works...
Yes, it would have to be switched on and off with appropriate timing. A (stationary) permanent magnet would just attract the ball and stick it to the base.
My wild guess: attracting the ball increases the resistance of the electromagnetic coil slightly, decreasing the current flowing. An electronic circuit is monitoring how much current is flowing in the coil, and switches it off at the right moment.
