However funny it may sound, a perpetual motion machine has already been invented. Only its power is rather low, which is why it has not become widespread. The basis of the design is magnets and a rotating rod with a bearing. Of course, a small coil with a conductor will also be needed (this will be a miniature generator). You will need 4 small magnets (1.5 cm in diameter) and 3 large ones (3-4 cm in diameter). A dielectric frame is also needed.
Diagram of the perpetual motion machine
So, a magnet is attached to each corner of the dielectric bar by one pole (S or N, as you choose). This is a very important point – all the magnets must point upward with the same pole! In the centre of the frame a rotating dielectric rod with a bearing at its base is installed. One large magnet is put on the upper end with the same pole up as the small magnets. It must be fixed exactly in the centre and very firmly! At the bottom of the rod the generator itself (a coil with a winding) is put on. All that remains is to fix the neodymium magnets on top with the opposite pole up. That is all, the machine is ready. Lead two wires from the generator, and start it. Simply turn the rod a little, and the magnets will begin to rotate without any help until they stop or until the structure falls apart (if the mass of the magnets is large).
Power of the machine
What power will such a home-made perpetual motion machine have? About 0.02 W. This will hardly be enough to charge your mobile phone. Whether a current is being produced can be checked with an LED attached to the wires led out of the generator (from the brushes). As you see, there is nothing complicated. Even a schoolchild can manage it.
