PM illusion...

.....can "jump" so easy,from illusion to reality,if we replace the performance of the acrobat at:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6pTgz9hkf8&feature=related   with a "something",as I supposed up there...

This "something"  can be  a simple hinge,free to rotate no more than 180*...if you play gravity fall and inertia "spring"/in-out storage...

.....with a slow motion,this time at:   www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjfejVNRqQg

     Can this strange illusion help us,to test a possible self-motion..due to gravity and inertia,in the most simple mode (and SHAPE!!!...)!?

     My opinion:try to limit the rotation of the small stick...that's all !

.....sometimes is a very slight , gradual  or subtle difference.


Let's take a look at : www.squidoo.com/the-swinging-sticks-kinetic-energy-sculpture


Their challenge related to the shape is : this is the "outside" of a perpetuum mobile device.


Their secrecy about the working principle is :the "inside" has "hidden" spare parts (coil , magnets ,electric battery ).


If we keep on their challenge about the  "outside" (shape ) , can we play continuous motion , without the "inside" (hidden spare parts...) ?

Seems like a type of chaotic pendulum.

      Hi  !
Really , it's a chaotic pendulum , due to an interplay  of gravity unbalance and  a magnetic "boosts" process (magnets in the sticks vs. coil and electric battery in the basement).


If we add a rotation restriction for the small stick ("no more than 360*") , I suppose , we can obtain a regular spinning (so , not a chaotic one...) ...maybe a more accurate "mimic" motion of the "perpetuum motion "(this is their "challenge"!).

It can be the first step TO a "clean"  continuous  mechanical  motion , due to gravity unbalance and rotational inertia...
