Anybody seen the add for a book on how to build a perpetual motion generator, also called a motor. Powered by magnets. Says the oil companies bought up all the patents..

Perpetual motion is largely a myth, due to the fact that no one's been able to figure out how to get more energy out than they have to put in.
Plus, doesn't friction and the heat stuff have something to do with it?
The only one I know of is the ocean's tide (magnet powered).
Patents be damned -- if there was any such thing as free electricity, North Korea wouldn't be dark at night.
It's called the Johnson Motor. For $47 the book will tell you how to build one. The calling it a motor was the first clue.

Oh, no. Newton was all wrong. You just need that book, some magnets and some elbow grease! I got mine from the ad next to the one for X-Ray glasses and sea monkeys in the back of Action Comics.
Sure its free, but its gonna cost ya.
I'll give you anything for free, just give me your credit card number.

There's this thing called Thermodynamics... It's a total bitch.

Quality post.

Laws are made to be broken. Duh.

Actually gravity powered, by the moon.
I was in the apartment hot tub a while back and a guy was convinced that an inventor had developed a way to get multiple horsepower for a long time out of a few 9V batteries. It was a newman motor. Apparently you can convert copper directly into electricity

That's the laws of man. Laws of nature aren't to be trifled with.

Hess, these aren't traffic laws...
^^ I went looking for those pics and ended up wasting over an hour on that site re-reading everything. Click through if you dare.
I can't believe nobody's posted this:
Marge: I'm worried about the kids, Homey. Lisa's becoming very obsessive. This morning I caught her trying to dissect her own raincoat.
Homer: [scoffs] I know. And this perpetual motion machine she made today is a joke! It just keeps going faster and faster.
Marge: And Bart isn't doing very well either. He needs boundaries and structure. There's something about flying a kite at night that's so unwholesome. [looks out window]
Bart: [creepy voice] Hello, Mother dear.
Marge: [closing the curtains] That's it: we have to get them back to school.
Homer: I'm with you, Marge. Lisa! Get in here. [Lisa walks in, chuckling nervously] In this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!

That's what I was thinking.
Check this out. SOMEBODY thinks it works.

Looks legit.
Seriously though. If it worked, and the plans were right there on the internet, everybody - from the Iranians to PETA to the Mythbusters - would be all over this ish.
