I'm not a physicist, but I am almost certain that one of the secrets of perpetual motion can be found by a deep underatnding of centrifugal force. I have personal reasons for believing this, and I will NOT try to prove it.
I have been reading Hans Weidenbusche's challenge. Not being a physicist, and not speaking german, the descriptions of the challenge are a bit beyond my level of understanding. However, I would advise anyone studying Mecahnical PM to think about this VERY deeply and seriously.
Centrifugal force is very important, here. As the challenge demonstrates, a number of anomalous phenomena are associaated with it. By harnessing these, it is possibly to extract excess energy. When you discover how to do this, don't keep it secret. If you do, you will be repeating a mistake than many others have made in the past. That is all I can say.
