"I bought this for my wife's birthday,she loves marbles and we look at the videos on U-Tube with the marble machines. This is a perfect miniature replica of these machines well suited for a table top and very high quality construction, highly recommend it." Marble Machine "Duality" - Handmade
Perpetual motion wheels from a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci Another theoretical machine involves a frictionless environment for motion. This involves the use of diamagnetic or electromagnetic levitation to float an object. This is done in a vacuum to eliminate air friction and friction from an axle. The levitated object is then free to rotate around its center of gravity without interference.
"Gorgeous kinetic art wheel. Fast delivery and excellent handcrafting. All my friends,visitors and me are completely fascinated. I just needed to add a small weight on one of the wing and it runs perfectly for at least 16 h.
"Just completed the marble run. I had to make a couple of adjustments & now it works great. The documentation on the other hand - needs improvement. Some of the illustrations aren't clear. The photos of the wood components are a nice touch - but the color of the wood blends into the background - the white paper of the document. Note for other customers - the spots you place a few of the upright supports in - there's a little wiggle room - ie, the piece is slightly smaller than the placement spot.
Subsequent analysis (and experiment) have shown there is no way to physically implement such a system that does not result in an overall increase in entropy.
The signature of a perpetual motion machine of the second kind is that there is only one heat reservoir involved, which is being spontaneously cooled without involving a transfer of heat to a cooler reservoir. This conversion of heat into useful work, without any side effect, is impossible, according to the second law website of thermodynamics.
"I have been collecting unusual things for a long time and this perpetual motion machine is one of my instant favourites. Great quality, the hidden on/off switch adds to the illusion.
October 1920 issue of Popular Science magazine, on perpetual motion. Although scientists have established them to be impossible under the laws of physics, perpetual motion continues to capture the imagination of inventors.
