New magnet powered perpetual motion machine

[Nihilanth]

I don't know if this thing is real, but I do know I like it. It could some day replace the desk ball-clacker. (although I'd end up turning the vertical sliding magnets into little fake guillotines. )

Pecking birds, pendulums and guillotines?
Did Edgar Allen Poe make this??

I want one

I like it too.

In almost every magnetic effort, everything always comes down to being able to move or shift that one magnet to initiated a cascade of movement. This device joins that principle but all 8 moving magnets sectors working in sync. Very nice approach.

Just wondering if those falling guillotines were heavy enough to cut a carrot. That would then be doing work. lol

Even if it could be a fake, its relaxing to watch.

I almost posted this could be a sausace slicer. Carrot would surely be the next level.
