Perpetual Bullshit Machine

Since most of you are bound to eventually hear about this from someone I figured I would take a little time right now to go ahead and tell you all that what the video below shows is not at all what it looks like it’s showing.

Honestly I can’t tell you what the machine in this video is actually doing but I can tell you what it isn’t doing. It isn’t “creating” energy. It isn’t producing power out of thin air, nor are the magnets generating power.

Though it’s hard to speculate without actually inspecting the device first hand, my initial gut reaction is to say that there is a power source somewhere and either the whole thing is just a fancy motor with a concealed battery or there is a hidden motor somewhere driving the whole thing.

I’m sure the truth will eventually reveal itself, but for now take a look at this video and see what you think.

So, uhm, yeah. Actually, I drafted designs for a machine just like this about 20 years ago. Today I understand why it isn’t really possible.
