You can't hide the batteries when it's transparent!

Summary by Krater

Steve Mould examines the inner workings of a perpetual motion simulator, a handcrafted device that uses hidden electronics, an inductive proximity sensor, and electromagnets to keep steel balls moving endlessly.

Answers: How does a perpetual motion simulator work?

• perpetual motion simulator
• electromagnetic propulsion
• inductive proximity sensors
• capacitors in electronic circuits
• data privacy and broker removal

What it concludes

• Perpetual motion machines do not exist, and working simulators require hidden power sources like batteries and electromagnets.
• An inductive proximity sensor detects the approach of a steel ball and triggers an electromagnetic pulse to give the ball additional kinetic energy.
• Capacitors store and deliver electrical charge to the electromagnet quickly without draining the battery rapidly.
• Data brokers collect personal information and sell it to companies like insurance departments, which can be mitigated using data removal services like Incogni.
