The design on tbis one is pretty neat though!

 

Yes, because it's based on a drawing done by Leonardo da Vinci, and after his 4th design, he stopped bothering with it.

 

 

Leonardo decided against investigating perpetual motion any further after he wrote (in mirror writing) beside the designs – “for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction” (the machines will not work). That quote is also Isaac Newtons Third Law of Motion, 200 years before Newton was born!!!

 

 

Oh ye seekers after perpetual motion, how many vain chimeras have you pursued? Go and take your place with the alchemists.

Awesome! Thanks for that!
