"Real" Perpetual Motion Machine - Perepiteia (VIDEO)
[Edit]
[Edit]
Thane Heins is careful never not to claim that his Perepiteia is a perpetual motion machine, yet it accelerates from exposure to a permanent magnet, and that’s not supposed to happen.
Scientists from top universities (University of Virginia, Michigan State University, the University of Toronto and Queens University and MIT) are at a loss to explain it.
This humble Canadian man’s academic background does little to impress scientists as he dropped out of his college electronics program and has a chef’s diploma. His wife left him, took their daughters with her, he has no real job or money and has spent the last 20 years building the Perepiteia.
Now he is fighting the uphill battle to prove that he is not loony, his machine is not a hoax and that it can drastically improve electrical motors the world over.
Heins has modified his test so the effects observed are difficult to deny. He holds a permanent magnet a few centimetres away from the driveshaft of an electric motor, and the magnetic field it creates causes the motor to accelerate. It went well.
Contacted by phone a few hours after the test, Zahn is genuinely stumped – and surprised. He said the magnet shouldn't cause acceleration. "It's an unusual phenomena I wouldn't have predicted in advance. But I saw it. It's real. Now I'm just trying to figure it out."
There's no talk of perpetual motion. No whisper of broken scientific laws or free energy. Zahn would never go there – at least not yet. But he does see the potential for making electric motors more efficient, and this itself is no small feat.
"To my mind this is unexpected and new, and it's worth exploring all the possible advantages once you're convinced it's a real effect," he added. "There are an infinite number of induction machines in people's homes and everywhere around the world. If you could make them more efficient, cumulatively, it could make a big difference."
