New magnet powered perpetual motion machine

[ATT]

Do we have specification for magnets (?)

If the guy is in the U.S. and especially if he's a woodworker, there's a good chance he gets some of his stuff from Home Depot, because it's convenient.

Home Depot has magnets, here's some that look a lot like what he's showing in the video:

You might also look around for curtain rods, bathroom rods, hinges and brass hardware, you might run into some other items that he used in his device.

(if you're in the U.S., you have to type-in your zip code to see things that are only carried on a store-by-store basis...like certain magnets).

today i started to build something like this

One really wonders what these guys are up to â€" that one with the fake perpetuum mobile somewhere in Germany or the other one in Vienna and still that other one in the Guggenheim museum in NYC etc. If this current one is to be just a kinetic sculpture, it’s the least esthetic. Also, the former were at least on public display, it’s known who their authors are. Who is the author of this one? Where can it be seen? What’s the whole point of splashing it on youtube anonymously, question mark as insurance against fraud accusations, doomed to go into oblivion? What’s the point of such sad destiny?

Kinetic sculpture of sorts is supposed to be also Finsrud’s. However, Finsrud showed me personally numerous attempts, different from his current perpetuum mobile, which he had been creating for many years and decades probably. So, this had been a serious effort of his to create a PM, obviously. One may argue that having failed for so many years he had turned that into a joke, pretending to be a piece of art. Who can tell? I know somebody in New York City, an engineer and physicist, who, after his engineering company had gone under, inlayed the blueprints of his inventions in paintings which he was selling as art. To me that’s more of a depression statement, despair or something of sorts which someone may call art but by a big stretch.

Of course, having said that, I know full well that failed afforts such as these (and probably the one under discussion) to create perpetuum mobile don't prove the impossibility for perpetuum mobile to be created one day because violation of CoE has been proven without a doubt. The problem with these creators is purely social and psychological and that's inherent in human nature. One has to learn to recognize that sooner rather than later and move on when encountering such claims clouded in such human frailty.

he he perpetuum (non)mobile is real , I can make it in few minutes exactly in one.
Take a piece of plasticine, a nice pencil and two magnets with holes in center.
Put pencil into plasticine and plasticine stick to tabletop, drop one magnet on pencil and another also in such way that it will repel the first one.

Congratulations, you have created your first perpetuum (non)mobile.Think about it.

Hi buddy,

Please do not throw the sh@ on other people ideas if you do not have one (what I doubt). I do not want history to repeat self - isn’t ashamed that because of same kind of people who opposed Tesla and other genius (century ago) we are still on spot to try to understand. They tried to tell us about possibility to have magnet & electricity & gravitation interfere (as they do) â€" but in stupid interest of narrow-minded greedy bust@#$ we are behind for long shot. Instead to make life easier we are enslaved again. If we use just technology what is out there today â€" people shouldn’t work more than 2-3 hours per day but rest of the time they can do whatever they prefer (personally I will have time to build lab where I can test any “stupid” idea (no such thing â€" stupid â€" that is just fiction) that makes at list some sense tome (as this concept do).
Your criticism is welcome but please makes the point & argument or even better proof why you think that will work or not.
Bottom line is
AS OUR KIDS ARE SMARTER ALL OF AS WILL BE BETTER OFF.

P.S. when I say our kids - I didn't mean to teach just my kids - all that are interested in subject that I am familiar with - that is the key to success and enjoyable retirement that I am looking for :-)
