No it has nothing to do with the machine, it's about the definition of gravity which is a force that creates potential energy. I casually called it energy but Triggar, being into pedantics, took issue with the use of the word and got his teeth stuck in.

Good effort but when Triggger gets his teeth into something the only intention is a perpetual pedantic argument.

FFS you are sounding pretty desperate. You can clearly see that the machine uses a spring motion to lift the ball and the force it creates when it lands gives it a push like a pinball flipper, so yes the machine uses gravity. That's what I pointed out, that gravity is used but you want to make...

No that's exactly not what I said. I said: gravity and magnitism is energy' You said: No it isn't Then I correcten myself and said it is potential energy. That my friend is being pedantic, and has nothing to do with the original topic or whether this is a hoax or not...

Being pedantic for a minute ??? The reason why we are talking about this is because you are pedantic.

Well everything I have Googled is in disagreement with you.

We are only spinning because a planet the size of Mars crashed into us 4.5 billion years ago. Magnitism and Gravity are byproducts of the energy in the Universe. We use the the gravitaional pull of Jupiter to slingshot and speed up the spacecraft we send to the outer solar system because it is...

Gravity doesn't break the first law of thermodynamics, it is a force and creates potential energy. That potential energy comes from an enviroment that energy created so I'm not sure what your issue is. Whether the video is a hoax or not it doesn't change the "what gravity is?" discussion.

The enviroment of the universe enables gravity and the universe came from energy, just like the spin of the earth enables a magnitism process. If you are saying this is a hoax then it may or not be, but at this point we are discussing gravity.

It doesn't break the first law of thermodynamics.

E=-G mM . R Should read mM over R Or to put it another way: In classical mechanics, two or more masses always have a gravitational potential. Conservation of energy requires that this gravitational field energy is always negative.[2] The gravitational potential energy is...

Gravity, g → , as discussed in introductory classical physics is actually the gravitational field. Fields are fundamental entities that carry momentum and energy. Gravity is not a form of energy but gravity creates potential energy.

"gravity creates potential energy" I am not here to argue and play pedantics.

I posted something that looks interesting and people want an argument over it :shrug:

Of course, but gravity and magnitism is energy. This machine is using both.

I know sound is energy, but it's not stopping the motion.

It's not losing energy through sound though. When they say it's 99% efficient, the 1% is the person who starts it rolling. The camera crew witnessed it for 3 days.

Yep, but perpetual motion was believed to be impossible. It is the first machine to do this but scaled up with a giant ball doing some consderable speed could change the way we produce electricity. It's a good starting point to something that couldn't be done.

Simplicity is key according to Einstein.

Interesting bit of engineering from someone who seems a little bonkers. It looks like it is possible after all. https://youtu.be/Yqk283c5zBo
