Perpetual Energy Machine Made From Household Products (video)

Perpetual energy for the most part has turned out to be an Internet farce. Last year we ran a story about some Aussies who claimed they had produced a perpetual energy generator that was powerful enough to power an entire home and was reasonably priced. Surprise, surprise, we haven’t heard anything more from them.

But, the above video, which is relatively detailed, shows you how to make a perpetual energy machine to power a light bulb and it looks real. Using just magnets and some household items it appears to be totally feasible. Unfortunately, the video stops short and doesn’t actually show the light bulb connected. You be the judge, does this look like the real deal? Would the motor hold up? Can the magnet make it spin fast enough to power a light bulb?

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

There is a “light bulb” connected and you can see it glowing – but it’s actually a LED…
I’ve read about something simmilar before – don’t remember the catch though (there’s always a catch ^^)

Hmm, looked more like the wires were emitting electricity to me….

That’s what I thought first too but he refers to it as “that light bulb” at 00:22.

Here’s the catch, it’s not perpetual motion, he moves the magnet to start the wheel spinning, this motion takes energy. If the magnet stayed in the same spot the wheel would slow and eventually stop, unfortunately the video ends too soon.

what are the materials needed

You should do and experiment that doesnt use wires, people see wires and think its fake. Try say a small belt turning a shaft with just a label on it that says ‘im turning’. Did anyone do physics at school, you could model this in maths and prove it outright but then someone would say the FBI put you up to it and CIA had a hand in the deception and maybe Elvis is holding the table up.
