Amazing how the ball jumps higher than from where it came šŸ˜‰

Not to me. The drop imparts a quantity of kinetic energy to the ball with each drop. It loses a quantity of kinetic energy as it circles the bowl so that the energy gained by dropping isnā€™t cumulative and the energy acquired by the drop is exactly the right amount each time.

The ball jumps higher than the point from which it started falling, which is impossible. If you look closer, you'll see a tiny little hiccip in the animation when it jumps back into the bowl.

The hiccup is the loop part, and given near zero friction drag, the ball retains energy sufficient for the jump which is not impossible--notice that at no time do you see the ball dropped from the bottom of the bowl first. When it circles the bowl it still has energy added for the first jump and each following jump.

Why on earth would it be? It's not useful; you can't harness it to do work. It's not the only mechanical doohickey making the same claim, you know. It's filed under NOVELTY.

File it under novelty, science or hoax, an eternal motion does not exist. Again, the ball jumps back in the bowl, which is slightly higher than the point from which the ball falls. That means it would need more energy to jump into the bowl than it got because of the fall. Plus, it dissipates some energy by rolling over the rail and because of air resistance, so it has actually less energy when it has to make its jump.

Really a "perpetuum mobile", as it's called in Latin, is impossible.

Pffft. You're comparing apples to oranges with that. Sorry. It's obvious to the unbiased observer that energy that puts the ball in motion is added to the energy it gets when it drops. The fact that it circles the bowl at all = kinetic energy. This thing doesn't perpetuate into eternity and you're pretending that it does. That's YOUR problem, not mine.

You're right, if the ball keeps moving forever without adding energy, that's not a perpetuum mobile... :rolling_eyes:

@Clara Listensprechen Apples and oranges, as you said. Those surfaces have different colours: one's black, the other's silver. Which means one heats up, the other does not. You're adding energy here. Try that thing in the dark, see how it runs.

It's a picture. You're arguing with a picture. The picture is just sitting there and you're arguing with a picture that's just sitting there.
That's what happens when people make false equivalencies all on your own. The Drinking Bird might suit your fancy better, perhaps.

@Clara Listensprechen No, I'm arguing with you. The picture doesn't type things that go against the basic laws of physics, you do. Surely you had a reason for posting this particular picture, not? I wouldn't even be surprised if you had a things like that in your house, they were pretty common in the 80's and 90's. And yes, they seem to be working all by themselves, which suggests they're actually an example of a perpetuum mobile, but they're not.

But believe whatever you want to believe. Try reading up a bit though, it might enlighten you.

Ah, a person of reason at long last!

Thank you thank you thank you! For the record, I was falsely accused of labeling the original post "perpetual machine" when it's not even my post. I was addressing whether or not the image was altered/photoshopped/fake. I maintain that it is not.

Folks, it remains a deep mystery how Robert's claim that a video that wasn't faked actually was faked as Hans claims has anything to do with energy conservation. Anybody who can explain the faking of a video's relation to conservation of energy is certainly welcome to explain that to me as long as you remain civil and don't lie. I block liars.

You can't explain what doesn't exist, hon.

Editing a video clip has zero effect on the conservation of energy. I maintained that the video wasn't a fake and Robert's link says the video of the same gizmo doing the same thing isn't a fake, and here the both of you are claiming that videos affect conservation of energy/conservation of energy affect video clips. The video is not a fake and you claimed that it was, and despite what was said about the genuineness of the video by the link Robert posted, Robert backs you up on your claim that the presence or absence of video editing has any kind of impact on the conservation of energy. Any self-respecting physicist would know better.

To be exact I can't say the video is fake, but the title is from a physics perspective.

It can't be perpetual because it can't work without an energy source (not without seriously challenging fundamental physics at least).

It can't work without an energy source because the ball falling in a gravitational field has just the exact energy needed to reach the starting height when coming back (if there is no energy loss), not higher as seen in the video. To go higher it needs a little extra from something, at each turn.

The absence of energy source is implied in the video since whatever source there is, it is hidden + the title.

Well, folks, here it a day later and none of the conservation of energy people have been able to say why the conservation of energy even applies to a video clip on automatic replay. It's a short clip of an actual machine and the clip keeps looping. No conservation of energy law has been harmed in the process.

If you wanted things explained, I'd give it another go. But you're only here to "win" a discussion, not to actually learn anything. So I'll pass, "hon".

I've stated the facts as they stand--and they remain standing.
*The clip is of an actual machine, therefore it's not fake
*the clip is looping
*the laws of the conservation of energy do not apply to looping videos of any sort
*anybody who patronizes me gets both barrels.

Direct quote from Snopes: "While this is authentic footage of a genuine product, the ā€œperpetualā€ marble machine does not operate infinitely without an additional energy source."
It looks like it does because there's a trick to it, not because it's fake. It is not fake.
