Kinetic Ferris Wheel
This awesome display of kinetic energy will take you on a ride and keep you mesmerized for hours! The Kinetic Ferris Wheel start off slowly and builds up until it goes all the way around, using its own generated power to keep it going. Watch the 12 multi colored shiny balls spin just like a real ferris wheel. It's your very own Perpetual Motion Machine. One tap is all it takes to get the ferris wheel spinning and once it starts it doesn't stop!Back and forth it goes until it builds up enough speed to to a complete 360 turn! It's a kinetic art mobile and cool science desk toy all in one. The secret lies in the electromagnet in the base. Try it once, give it a whirl and you'll be hooked and amazed. Required a 9v battery: not included What you'll get: Kinetic Ferris Wheel 9 x 6.5 x 4 Base Stand 12 Colored Balls Incredible Science Fun Learning Ideas: Observe perpetual motion in action. Discover the power of electromagnetic energy. Predict how long it will take for the balls to do a complete 360. Measure the difference of the height you start the spin from and how it affects the rotation.

Yahoo Answers For Perpetual Water Wheel
Question Why are perpetual motion machines impossible?
How can it be impossible? I have an idea that involves a water wheel and it keeps going in a circle. If I had the right equipment, I would build it but I don't so I would like to know HOW it is impossible. How is it impossible to make a machine machine NEVER stops going? I mean, If you use water and do it right, then the machine won't stop, so HOW?
Best Answer If you are thinking about hydro-electric power or the "drinking bird"...both of these may appear to be the perpetual motion machine. However, both of them depend on nature's power cycle to operate, which involves evaporation of water caused by the sun, condensation of water vapor into droplets, and rain. The drinking bird will continue its repeated motion as the water dries off its head. Once fully dry, the bird will take a dunk in the dish and absorb water. When the dish is fully empty, or the background begins to fog (which ever comes first), this will no longer be a perpetual motion machine.

Question Pond Pump?????????????
We are considering adding a garden to our backyard, and we understand we need a pump. The place where we want the pond is too far away from the house to be grid powered. We considered solar and wind powered pumps, but we don't have enough sun or wind. I was wondering if there is a working perpetual machine, such as a perpetual water wheel. If so, can u send me a picture/video. THANKS!!!
Best Answer Sorry, no such thing exists. You could always put in a gas powered generator but in the end you might just be better off finding a way to run AC power out to the area where the pond is to be located.

Question Would this be a good idea for perpetual motion?
I got this idea while studying about water clocks -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Gitton --. Basically I want to run a siphon system over a water-wheel: Take an open water tank (Tank A) filled with a reasonable amount of water, then raise an air-tight tank (Tank B) over the other. Tank B should have a spout of some kind to let water flow out, as well as a hose leading into Tank A to allow water to flow in. If the spout on Tank B let water fall into Tank A, then the motion of water would continue forever, right? So if you were to place a water-wheel under the spout, you could use it to power other things. ... If that wouldn't be classified as perpetual motion due to evaporating water, could you substitute something oily instead?
Best Answer No, this would not be an example of perpetual motion due to the counter-effects of gravity. If Tank A is lower than Tank B, it will take more energy to raise the water back into Tank B than you would gain from the motion of the water wheel. Thus, your system is losing energy during the process. You could get it to run for a long time with a large enough tank, but eventual entropy wins and the system will stop. Even if you wanted to dedicate 100% of the energy generated by the water wheel to a pump to push the water back up into Tank B, the amount of energy generated in the water wheel is less than the energy necessary to move the equal volume of liquid back into the elevated tank. Energy would be lost by the friction of the water particles as they fell through the air, the loss of energy to heat as the water droplets impacted the blades of the water wheel, the loss of energy to heat and friction as the water wheel spins on its axel, etc. Unfortunately, a practical perpetual motion machine just isn't possible in an environment where friction and gravity exert an influence. Hope that makes sense!
