Ingenius and elegant attempt at creating a perpetual motion machine
The sound of the ball on the track immediately satisfied me that there is friction in this system and thus cannot run indefinitely. Still, it appears to be remarkably efficient and the ingenuity is undeniable. The combination of a metal ball, magnets, a gimbaled rack and multiple pendulums is not something I've ever seen before.
This remarkable piece was made by artist Reidar Finsrud.
