The following 2 devices are interesting because if they are fake( assuming they are fake ), they seem close to achieving Gravity-Powered-Perpetual-Motion .
( People often dismiss these types of designs, because they aren't rotating-wheels )

If the following device is fake ( the only possibility ), could reducing the 'closest-proximity' that the balls roll to the 'exact-center' of the device ( and maybe increase the furthest distance that the balls roll away from the 'exact-center' of the device ) create perpetual-motion .

The following device is also interesting

I made a post about this one on another thread

LOL He puts his hands on the table so he doesn't get moved by his tilting set. If you look when he starts it, the entire set around the camera is tilting, and then he stabilizes himself, though you can still see his upper torso swaying the direction of the ball every time it moves.

This device made me wonder about designing a device that would never be able to reach a point of balance, so that it would continue to move perpetually.
So I made a diagram, you can see it below, of what my version of this device would look like, if you were looking at it, from above.
The white-balls roll around freely in the dark-grey-rings( these rings could possibly also tilt to whatever angle/direction the balls put them in ), and only the dark-grey-sphere in the center of the device touches the ground.

I also thought of another device, when I thought of how anything sitting on a desk, is in fact one-surface made of rotating-electrons which is resting on another surface made of rotating-electrons ( this may not be scientifically accurate because I'm not taking into account various other forces ).
( Note, I assume when you look at surfaces of very smooth surfaces under electron-microscopes, they no longer appear smooth, and look like mountains and valleys, which explains why things usually don't slip of desks )
So I thought of a device to sort of try and emulate these rotating-electrons resting on other rotating-electrons.
It would simply be a ball-shape( 'main'ball' ) with a minimum of six balls half-sticking out of it's sides,
- but these balls sticking out of the sides would make no contact with the main ball, they would be held in place( and free to rotate) on 100%-Passive-Non-Electric-Permanent-Magnet-Bearings,
- and, this 'main'ball' would then be placed on top of, 'and in between of', a number of 'other-balls' which do not touch any other object, instead, these 'other-balls' would be free to rotate on 100%-Passive-Non-Electric-Permanent-Magnet-Bearings
Obviously the aim of this device would be that it would continue to move perpetually.
