A little gravity can move a crowd until you tell them you were joking. The biggest trouble with Perpetual Motion Machine, is that no-one will ever find out if it works. I know it might seem easy to plan perpetual motion, but probably to prove it we would need to invent a time machine and go forward a few eons, and see if it is still working. To have perpetual motion it can't lose any energy, and if it makes any it will blow up.
You can't 'Make' energy out of gravity, but gravity doesn't know that. You have to be careful to drain the energy made to prevent an explosion.

I don't know about this one. I went in as a complete and total skeptic, but he does have a point that he's not creating energy, he's just harnessing the force of gravity.

From watching the video, here's what I gather:

The machine is essentially a pole with weights at two ends, that pivots on a centerpoint.

If you set one weight in towards the center a bit, it wil rise, while the other falls.

His machine slides the weight that's going up in, and the weight that's going down out.

If you see gravity as a river of force flowing towards the pit of our little dimple in space-time, he may have just built the waterwheel.

I'd LOVE to see this on mythbusters.

The REAL Napster
Kostoff sought to make a 'perpetual motion machine' that could offer a clean, alternative source of power using gravity as 'fuel.'

After about four years of planning and development through trial and error - including about a year-and-a-half creating the designs on paper - Kostoff reached his goal.

He now owns the patent on the technology to prove it.

Perpetual[/b]-motion[/b] machines have long held special appeal for inventors—particularly during the concept's heyday around the turn of the 20th century.
Patent[/b] applications on such devices became so numerous that by 1911 the patent[/b] office instituted a rule that perpetual[/b]-motion[/b] ...

Albert Einstein was a patent clerk early in the 20th century and saw a lot of 'perpetual motion machines' none worked, but they might have got him thinking.
Nicolai Tesla found out about Zero-point energy when he was working with electricity, but research and development was shelved for the sake of electricity, fossil fuels, and nuclear fission..
Now they are rediscovering the potential it has.

congratulations, i believe of what you found out , and know that we can use gravity for generating energy more powerfull than wind , but what kind of force you use to raise your block or your mass up against gravity direction, because there are many way to do that but only one way that let you gain extra power than you used for the perpetual motion so you can generate energy.
does your design turn only gravity into power or you can use it to turn any kind of similar power like gravity , it is the key of the theory?
thank you
congratulation
