From illusion to reality...
.....sometimes,it's not a long way.
Firstly,take a look at : www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhFHAEQ5x4c
It can be ,one more time ,a deceptive appearance regarding the so old "tabu" theme of "perpetuum mobile" ,or gravity motor,or as you like to name...
We have here,the most simple arrangement of two levers/sticks ,nothing more.
Let's change ,develop slightly this design :
-to make it bigger (to ''release" the gravity power).
-to limit the motion of the small stick (180 degrees),so to get easy,a "small arm-great arm " switch of the variable arm.
-to attempt self-motion (continuous rotation of the big stick,alternately hanging then self-tumbling of the small stick ),due to the fact that, the torque difference is located on the same side of the fulcrum.
A test can settle this new state of things...illusion,or reality?!
All the best! / Alex

re: From illusion to reality...
Dear Jacob Alex,
I want to be enough confident like you.
The path of the motion, very close from the foot plate of the stand, is not an artistic feature, but instead it drives me to the big suspicion for the presence of a magnet (some analog gimmick work on the same principle).

I cannot imagine why nobody though on this before, including myself? It is so simple!...

Hi P_F!
I agree with you,but to lose any suspicion about the accuracy of this movie ,a small experiment with two levers/sticks ,I believe it's so easy for your valuable handicraft...
Your motto ("Why make simple,when....? ) is good humor,but how if it's the gaity of reflection ,when you want to animate our knowledge ...like in a mirror?
Maybe,the way from illusion to reality ,has as a starting point the contrary...the final result is simpler than the sum of its parts,thinking about fulcrum,two parts and CoG of a lever (or any "wheel configuration ").

re: From illusion to reality...
.....if we replace the acrobat(s) , with a kind of "swinging sticks" , at :
www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7BRss__Xf8
It's like a first line in our mind , then on paper ("simulation") ...before to make a plain test with the real physics.
The circus performance (simplicity to play a motive torque ) can be a stimulus for our imagination ...have you ever played something like this?
The first image of a self-turning...(your tag here)...starts with an elementary game with gravity and inertia.
Do you remember our childhood swinging fun ,with a fulcrum/support , a straight bar/pole and an "opposite partner"?

It's a proposal to imagine the "self"-motion due to gravity fall and inertia in a 3D (three-dimensions) configuration , or the circumstances of the natural continuous motion of the celestial bodies.

.....can be a very long , or a very short "pathway" , if we consider the starting point .
If you begin obstinately with a wheel image , as that :
www.youtube.com./watch?v=rbCnzsFjvQU
you will discover that it has an "unpleasant sound"....if we contemplate music as an universal language.

re: From illusion to reality...
.....sometimes is a very slight , gradual or subtle difference.
Let's take a look at :
www.squidoo.com/the-swinging-sticks-kin ... -sculpture
Their challenge related to the shape is : this is the "outside" of a perpetuum mobile device.
Their secrecy about the working principle is : the "inside" has "hidden" spare parts ( magnets , coil , electric battery).
If we maintain their challenge about the "outside" , can we play continuous motion without the "inside" (hidden spare parts...) ?
For certain , we need a very slight change...

The proposal is to "simplify" this movie/design and play variable/oscillatory leverage with two masses ,only.

Usually , a pleasant illusion is a ephemeral substitute for the "harsh" reality...and an imaginative manner to "possess" the truth.
