: This page gives a VERY in-depth decription of it, near the bottom. It still does not explain where the energy comes from!
Sounds a little more complicated than I first thought. Very interesting. I like the idea of the rail lowering itself just in front of the ball. Ball surfs the perpetual wave so to speak. Cool. Magnetism attracts towards the ball and gets the pendulums swinging... the bottom of the pendulums have small magnets that repel other randomly placed magnets in the base... you wind up with a brownian motion in the pendulums and the energy in their swing is partially transferred into the channel to warp it in front of the ball, keeping that constant downhill slope. Timing is the hardest part I would guess.
Just thought of this... you know how a magnet will hover above another magnet when like poles are facing...? Well, if one magnet is in the base and the other like pole is just inches above it... but the weight of the 45" pendulum keeps the hanging magnet from rising... you'd have an unhappy pendulum with a bottom that was constantly trying to get away from the base magnets... and maybe the ball helps to center the pendulums every revolution and so that they're "perpetually" trying to get away from those base magnets.
I don't know, just guessing. I love this stuff :-)
