you might as well call a ball rolling down a long hill overunity

For some people, it is easier to pull strings off of the cheese.
so allow me to break this down for you.

the energy per rotation (around the inside of the bowl) is:

(coefficient of friction)x(force of gravity[sin angle of incline])x(diameter of the circle)

the force of gravity is: (mass of the ball)( 9.8m/s/s)
the angle of the incline decreases spirally with each rotation
the diameter (distance over which friction is performing work)
     decreases spirally with each progressive rotation

we can then pull another string off the cheese, and break this down into segments, of approx. equal diameter and angle of incline
multiplied by the (RPM)x (time of the segment)

we'll string the cheese once again

the resultant, when added together gives you the total energy
   (work performed by friction)

i might be inclined to agree with you, if i didnt have to first carry the ball up the hill..

  as if you do not have to move the bearing back out of center to get it spinning again... 

LOL....
sm0ky2, you are truly a perfect example on ignorant perception abilities.
