The idea of perpetual motion machines is that once they are put in to motion they won’t stop moving and therefore providing free and unending energy. The shifting mass of the over balanced wheel is what is supposed to keep it in motion, but physics gets in the way.
Even though the perpetual motion machine violates two of the most solid and tested laws of physics, the Second Law of Thermodynamics and the Law of Conservation of Energy, people through out the ages have spent time to create new and different versions of these machines.
I have recreated two of the most common versions of the perpetual motion machines, the over balanced wheel. Because there is no such thing as free power, a small motor attached to the back puts the machine in to motion.
