Haven't seen this posted here yet so, have at it.

Seems simple enough to replicate.

(Sorry if this is a repost.)

People have been trying to "replicate" the Bhaskara wheel for centuries, using all different kinds of configurations and methods. Nobody has ever been successful... until this guy comes along and straps some partially filled plastic bottles to a bicycle wheel and claims "it works" !! 


Yeah... right. Insert facepalm emoji here.

Better watch out... Archer Quinn is gonna get you!

(Even though a properly performed analysis of moment arms and torques will show that it isn't actually overbalanced at all, and so has not even a theoretical basis for operation.)

Dear its my own invention. Please subscribe and check this out. I tested the simulation and is still running without any break.

How about drinking bird?
Instead of using magnets, it uses the ambient heat to create an instability similar to the what is expected to be seen in an overbalanced wheel.

Forget about magnets.... perpetual motion should be possible:

It is interesting but is a heat engine, like a Sterling cycle engine.

There are versions without heat engine:
