Everyone loves perpetual motion machines. They are a representation of the highest level of creativity in finding loopholes in the laws of physics. Let's take a look at this one. What is a perpetual ...

The idea of a perpetual motion machine is promising, from a distance. Through brilliant engineering maybe we could find a way to create a device so ingenious that it can produce unlimited energy, ...

They call functions on mechanical watches "complications" for a reason, but sometimes things get so complicated that it's time to start over. That's the reasoning that led MB&F and Irish watchmaker ...

My favorite shelf in the home library is where Raymond Roussel, the Comte de Lautréamont, E.T. A. Hoffmann, Leonora Carrington and other writers form a brilliant phalanx of eccentricity and marvel. I ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- As every young science student knows, moving objects have kinetic energy. But just how much energy does something need to move? In a new study, a pair of physicists has shown that ...

Steorn is back, and it is still hawking its perpetual-motion machine, the Orbo. We spent several carefree days back in the summer of 2007 ridiculing the whole project, which purported to use spinning ...

This guy claims that this invention is a perpetual motion machine, the Philosopher’s Stone of physics, the Holy Grail of power. Play the video and check it out for yourself. The machine uses neodymium ...

(via Royal Institution) Perpetual motion machines are tantalising. Videos of contraptions claiming to have achieved the impossible goal of endless free motion rack up millions of views on YouTube. But ...

Last week, a "self sustaining electrical turbine generator" was found on Kickstarter. Another name for the product is a perpetual motion machine. (We saw this story first on GigaOm.) Put simply, a ...

Just imagine what it would be like if we could generate free energy. No need to worry about pollution, or fuel, or effort, or anything. It’s no wonder so many people have tried their hands at building ...
