Perpetual Motion Car Prototype Fails to Impress Investors

At the Online Think Tank we are always Fatima tobacco cards up with crazy ideas. One invention I had was a prototype of a Perpetual Motion Car. Unfortunately, the Prototype failed to Impress Investors or even impress many in our think tank. The perpetual motion car was about the size of a GI Joe sitting in a little go cart with rings around it, where magnets went around the track.

On my design the driver slides his feet 1957 58 Topps basketball cards pushes the metal plate forward. The closer he pushes it the faster he goes. Sliding the seat back pushes the rear plate does the same X-Men movie It is how I adjust the speed. The unit pulls the center of gravity of the driver. The magnets keep spinning against themselves once started and they spin as they go around. Each passing tugs or propels the center of gravity, where the driver sits in the middle.

The problem we had was that the weight of the system was more than the magnets we could find to move the GI Joe forward, the darn thing works. The magnets keep moving fine and you can see the thing inching forward. It needs a pulse system and the balsa wood frame kept coming apart. It wobbles terrible. It needs more magnets, but the magnets eventually try to come to equilibrium and the whole thing wobbles like the Dickens. In theory it should work.

It needs better materials to work, pulse magnetic system not magnets, like a UFO might have, I think I have seen theories of how a UFO might work if there was such a thing in books somewhere. Anyway the cool deal would be to have carbon nano-tube construction, pulse magnetic system, larger scale (ditch the GI Joe Doll) and put the thing in a balloon and float it around? UAV style.

I should talk to who is it Lockheed or thinking if I ever got anywhere with the design, I would write a white paper and pitch it to Aerovironment, Northrop, Boeing, Lockheed or DARPA or someone. Maybe recruit a GA Tech, MIT or Berkeley kid to the game? I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on Lost In Space lunchbox subjects, which interest you.
