"I bought this for my wife's birthday,she loves marbles and we look at the videos on U-Tube with the marble machines. This is a perfect miniature replica of these machines well suited for a table top and very high quality construction, highly recommend it." Marble Machine "Duality" - Handmade
Perpetual motion wheels from a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci Another theoretical machine involves a frictionless environment for motion. This involves the use of diamagnetic or electromagnetic levitation to float an object. This is done in a vacuum to eliminate air friction and friction from an axle. The levitated object is then free to rotate around its center of gravity without interference.
"Gorgeous kinetic art wheel. Fast delivery and excellent handcrafting. All my friends,visitors and me are completely fascinated. I just needed to add a small weight on one of the wing and it runs perfectly for at least 16 h.
I suggest "dry"- assembling a few components ahead. PROS: This is a heavy duty set. I like Ugears, Woodtrick, etc - but those super-light weight wood makes them delicate. Also, unlike those other brands, you don't have to lubricate any of the gears." wooden marble run kinetic art perpetual motion device the great wooden toys for boys

However, this machine has no practical purpose because the rotated object cannot do any work Vencedor work requires the levitated object to cause motion in other objects, bringing friction into the problem. Furthermore, a perfect vacuum is an unattainable goal since both the container and the object itself would slowly vaporize, thereby degrading the vacuum.
"I have been collecting unusual things for a long time and this perpetual motion machine is one of my instant favourites. Great quality, the hidden on/off switch adds to the illusion.
