Leveraged pendulum - perpetuum mobile simulation works!

[Tenbatsu]

It looks easy enough to build. 

If I were you I would make a working version, it's the only way you're going to get peoples' attention unfortunately.

@Tenbatsu: I won't try a real world build until someone confirms my simulation works! Please, do it!

It won't cost you nothing, it's free, and won't take more than 15 minutes!

Somebody help me!!!!

Okay, nobody wants to test the simulations, but I still making new simulations.

This is the video of my latest simulation:

This time I used a longer lever (with lower density), and the result is that the pendulum goes higher and higher much faster, and when it starts to spin, the maximum rotational speed it achieves is much higher.

It can be a bug... But it can be the effect of the lever over the pendulum...

Here is a desk toy from Iron Man 2 that you should look at. It has some similarities.

It has some similarities, but in my simulation the weight (the ball) don't have to move.

In my simulation, the upper arm of the "lever" is much longer than the lower arm (where the ball is attached). However, the upper arm is lighter. The lower arm (with the steel ball) being heavier, makes it goes down when it is released  from any angle between 45 and 85 degress. It means the shorter arm goes down when the pendulum is released, not the longer arm (because despite being longer, it is lighter).

When the ball reaches the other side, before stopping and being pulled down by gravity, I think the lever is somehow making it go a little more high...  Going higher at each swing, the pendulum never stops. In the version without horizontal support, it eventually makes a complete turn, and starts to spin.

It can be a bug, but it can be a real effect.

It is a big SHAME that nobody here is interested, and nobody downloaded the file to run the simulation in its own computer, to confirm the results.
