Jesse McQueen's Power Generator

[jmac]

There was an invention in the 1970's that at first I consider to be perpetual motion. It was simple and it work very well. You can still see it from time to time. I studied for it years because this inventor did with water what no one had done. I could see him sitting in his shop thinking for day or maybe years. His mind perfecting his idea. This idea was too many people perpetual motion including me but the patent office has rules. It was not classified as such. My hat is off to the inventor who did the little bird that dips his head in the water. Does anyone know why it was not consider perpetual motion?

A lot of you look at my invention and see perpetual motion but you are mistaken. Just like I did the little bird. If my patent was perpetual motion it would say so in the patent. And if you studied it before you made presumption you would find that it does not use more power that it produce. It work very well but I believe that some you do not understand how.

Hi Jesse,
it is just a heat engine running only as long the bird?s head can evaporate the
water in the glas.
When the water is evaporated away, the bird?s movement stops, so
no perpetual motion.
But I agree, it needs very low amount of water to work...
and the principle can be optimized...

The patent office reject the perpetual motion claim because they consider water a fuel.

It took me a long time to figure that out.
