About this model
Perpetual motion is impossible because it is in conflict with the first law of thermodynamics. That is wat people tried to tell Leonardo da Vinci. But he had a dream: "Perpetual motion is possible". At the right side the marbles roll to the end, at the left side they are stopped halfway. The resulting torque makes the wheel rotate clockwise. Apart from a major improvement of the wheel, we add some magic to A microswich is actuated when the unit is placed on the table. So, like in the video, lift the unit and place the four (17mm) marbles. Act as if you have to hold the wheel until you place the unit carefully on a flat surface. At that moment let the wheel go and it starts rotating. Wheel rotates in the wrong direction? Just swap the motor wires. A 6 volt motor runs very wel on 3 volts (2 …
