Keep It Moving Folks

Follow me on:

The USPTO will not knowingly issue a patent for a perpetual motion machine and the American Physical Society states, "The American Physical Society deplores attempts to mislead and defraud the public based on claims of perpetual motion machines or sources of unlimited useful free energy, unsubstantiated by experimentally tested established physical principles." On a personal note, I am fascinated with this stuff.

I second that motion. And you’re lucky perpetual motion doesn’t exist or you’d infinitely suck.

These Joseph Newman videos are funny. I think I’ll watch all of them and get some more ideas for my own (second theory) perpetual motion device :)

KID says, that’s fine and while it’s going outside the U.S. now anyway and so’s your job. The USPTMO has defrauded and altered Patent and what idiot is going to give them further blueprints. No patent and UFO to you.
