Perpetuum Mobile Links

Apart from the links to technical museums there are other treasures in the internet.

General Articles

  http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/museum/unwork.htm
The Museum of Unworkable Devices is a collection of typical PMM ideas and methods to analyze them. You will find historcal and modern concepts, physics and facts about inventors. Rich list of British patents based on Henry Dircks' book.
 
  http://www.mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de/~bruhn/
Texts which should be read by PMM inventors and followers of the free energy fraction. Those who take the challenge to follow the mathematical conclusions, may supposedly get a richer impression about scientifc methods and their usage to deflate unworkable ideas.
Texts partly in english, partly in german

 Inventors and Their Machines

  http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/museum/keely/keely.htm
The Keely Engine Company is an inventor's portrait. Keely demonstrated some workable devices - but... Here you can learn the whole story.
 
  http://www.svpvril.com/svpweb33.html#THE KEELY MOTOR HUMBUG
A large collection of articles about and by John W. Keely.

The Telepolis article on Amins entropy engine
 
  http://www.wuerth-ag.com
Felix Würth's machine which turns gravity into energy. Why haven't you bought shares already?
 
  http://www.ariplex.com/bg/bg_rotne.pdf
An article by W. D. Bauer about Felix Würth's claim of having built an overunity machine. Bauer seems to be a follower of Würth's ideas and had published this text earlier, in which he proved overunity behaviour. After protests, Bauer revised the text. Current conclusion: the machine obeys the laws of thermodynamics.
The links and the whole site currently seem to be inactive.
 

 The Bessler Wheel

An outstanding classic PMM area is Bessler's work. Even today, the topic delivers material for many discussions and theories. As it seems that the truth never will be uncovered for certain, this is a large field for speculation.

  http://www.besslerwheel.com/index.shtml
A well-designed site with good and rich material about Bessler and his machines. As far as the content is managed by the webmaster, this seems to be one of the best internet resources about Orffyreus. The site tends to the opinion, that Bessler had invented a real PMM and was not fraud but rather a victim of his ennemies.
The site provides a discussion forum with a broad range of topics, some of them useful for further research work, most of them on basic level.
 
  http://www.spartechsoftware.com/dimensions/mystical/Orffyreus.htm
A somewhat less sceptical site, where not all facts are critically checked and reliable.
 
  http://astrosa.8k.com/jan/default.htm
Site with high ambitions and an analysis about the hypthetical function of the Bessler wheel. What should I say? "A very impressive insight" - Maybe.
 
  http://www1.iwvisp.com/LA4Park/BesslerWheelPaperRTF.rtf
Alden E. Park's highly speculative article about Bessler's wheel and other PMMs.
 

 Free Energy and Perpetuum Mobiles

Here you find items, which the world desperateley needs since long: Perpetua Mobilia, overunity machines and free-energy-powered devices. How could mankind survive up to now without these inventions?

  http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/museum/kamis.htm
Ken Amis' sharp-witted analysis how the scientific and commercial establishment suppresses perpetual motion inventions and free energy machines. A must-read!
 
   http://evert.de/
Professor Ewert is an inventor, who mostly delivers theories, explains why his theories will work, and asks technically skilled persons to check his theories by practical constructions. Prof. Evert provides many ideas, and some of them are real brain teasers (though obviously not intend as those). He is a follower of ether theories and other free energy stuff.
Although many of the items seem not to withstand a closer formal examination, there are good discussion points. But often, theories are explained in more words than needed and few facts and formulae. A good example is Don Martin's corner ring generator.
 
  http://www.opentheory.org/pm/text.phtml
A discussion forum of the open theory community about perpetual motion machines.
 
  http://home.t-online.de/home/j.balz/kapitel/was_sonst_noch.htm

  http://www.newebmasters.com/freeenergy/index.shtml
Free energy and magnetic driven machines.
 
  http://www.explorepub.com/articles/beardon/overunity.html#top
An article looking serious at the first glance: REGAUGING and Multivalued Magnetic Scalar Potential:Master Overunity Mechanisms. Does it work or not? Or what?
 

 Science and Technology Curiosities

And now for something completely different....

  http://www.bourbaki.de/b0.htm
George Bourbaki's patents. Check this, if you need a New meter for etheric wind speed or a Device to prove the existence or non-existence of photons.
 
  http://www.holis.de/mag/nat/forelle.htm
  http://www.holis.de/mag/nat/schb_z.htm
All those, who think that normal PMM constructions are not cranky enough, will find fresh material here.
 
  http://home.t-online.de/home/Werner_Lang/
If you did not know up to now: the earth is no disk, as erroneously assumed, but a hollow sphere!
 
  http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/hollow/morrow2.htm
... or probably not.
 
  http:/www./crank.net/
For all who are interested in crank stuff, esoteric fraud and voodoo science, this is a good starting point to obtain useful links. All aspects covered, from scientific and sceptical to crackpots.
