perpetual motion machine which sits in the Science Museum, London England....

.....has the answer been given away yet? or are they still pretending it's an unsolved mystery? (Been a few years since i went there)

well darth as you may be aware I have had my own ups and downs with the theory of PM.....my main problem with the wheel is that it keeps slowing down, as I said in my earlier question. Among the suggestions the best so far is to keep spinning it with my hands......this has infact completely solved my problem, and leaves me free to contemplate on other mysteries of the universe. PS if you have any inside info, please let me know Top Tip When applying the theory of PM to any system, always ensure you have enough batteries or a supply of electricity to keep said object in motion. This is the true key to PM. :-))

hoho. your PM questions and theories were what prompted me to think of the PM machine in the museum but i am genuinely interested into the answer to the museum piece if anyone knows? (yes i do know that true PM aint possible before you all respond)

Good question Darth. I think you are referring to the pendulum which hangs from the roof and swings continually. I remember seeing it as a kid and was fascinated by it. I think it is claimed to have something to do with the rotation of the earth. I'm fully aware that you can't get something for nothing, including free power but I would be interested too to know if it is still in the museum and what makes it work
