Perpetual motion machines tend to be created by the kind of people that would have been alchemists in the Middle Ages. The kind of person who longs for the impossible dream, even though scientifically they know deep down it's never going to happen.
This perpetual motion model is just great, it has all the features that you'd look for in a perpetual motion machine, including the way it can almost fool you into thinking that's just what you've got.
Look at it and you can see how it might work. The ball-bearings moving within the fly wheel cause it to roll one way, while the narrowing track for the cone-shaped spindle encourage movement in the opposite direction. You could almost believe that you'd start it off and it will keep going FOR EVER.
It won't, but there's good fun to be had with it anyway. Not least convincing your friends that perpetual motion is here and free energy for all is just round the corner.
