  Hi Veproject 1.  !
Your question : "Unbalanced lever is able to run perpetually if...?
My  opinion    : ...IF you play variable leverage with two eccentered masses , only...
Take a look at an identical design , at :

His proposal (as yours...) is : a centered mass + an eccentered mass (pendulum )

...is a real cross-road to a workable gravity powered device.
So..."Qvo Vadis?"

Working Model  says this does not work

[AB Hammer]

 Here is the first version of the approach I posted awhile back. It uses 2 but I have done test with 1 arm. They tend to have a side drag that stops them from working. Is it beatable to go perpetual? Possible but don't show much hope for strength. Other applications are possible for other designs but again they will have the same drag effect that slows them down. But you can get a nice run time with them.
