We had a perpetual motion themed lab where we embedded motors and controllers in much smaller devices than those.

The green contains a motor, the ratchet acts as gear in your pictured setup.

The best perpetual motion setup we made used a permanent magnet and a pulsed electromagnet coil in the base of it and the system was tuned so that the pulsing wouldn't overcome rest friction and start the system and only kept a moving system moving in a really convincing manner, we had it set up in a glass display and pointed a webcam at it and claimed that the prototype was bought by Shell for $10M and they only allowed us to display it under the condition that it was never dissembled or removed from the display area and camera surveillence.

It was hilarious to convince first year students that perpetual motion is a real and suppressed tech.

There's no hidden conspiracy, people make devices like this for fun all the time. And gullible people that have no clue about electronics and micromotors buy into it all the time.

I see that there's a general confusion on what perpetual motion is. Perpetual motion isn't energy that comes out of nowhere. These devices uses two permanent forces of earth which is gravity and electromagnetism. It's not an infinite power source and it will wear off in time. Replacing the magnets in the videos have ery low cost compared to the time and power they supply, and can be used for hundreds of years (magnets have an average 400 years of lifetime). And that's why they can be used as perpetual motion energy generators.

I can tell. Since you don't seem to know what a conservative field means.
To move apart something magnetic from a magnet in space, it takes the same amount of energy that you'd get out of it, when you let go and let the magnet fall back.
You need additionally energy to separate the magnets every time, hence an energy input.

It does work, but it's just useless. Do you know how fast a dynamo has to turn just to light up a small led ? Connecting anything to this machine to pull power would result in enough friction to stop the machine or get a really small amount of power.

Unless you make a much bigger replica which might actually be useful. But then again, the cost of the magnet would probaby balance out the power you would get from this.

in conclusion : Yes it works, but it has no useful application.

thermodynamics laws that have been proven in each experiment say:

whenever you try to do something, some energy is wasted in undirected motion or displacement of matter, kinetically, or within some potential field.

so every thing set in motion, tends to stay in motion, but will also tend to lose energy.

this is also why most tv series only go 0 to 7 seasons.

No, we just like using the most technically accurate definition of words. The term "perpetual motion machine" has come to mean two things. The first is a machine that moves indefinitely without any external energy input. This is impossible because no matter how evacuated and isolated your system is, there will always be some form of energy loss in it. The second meaning is a machine that produces work indefinitely without any external energy input. This kind of machine violates the first and second laws of thermodynamics, and is doubly impossible.
