That pendulum is a beautiful piece of art! There is somewhere another so called 'perpetual motion' machine in a museum that trumps that. I'll see if i can find it. Basically, its been going for a CENTURY or TWO! It consists of a bell that is rung once a minute (or hour or summink). The motive force is our buddy the capacitor. It's just a really big super efficient capacitor that discharges through the bell regularly. Eventually it will go flat.
Edit: a lead. it's called a 'Duluc dry pile' high voltsge source:

edit 2: Got it! It's called the Oxford Bell:

Ooh! The 'pitch drop' experiment is in my town! I'll have to take a look sometime (",)
"At the moment the pitch drop is at the end of the most recent drop (which has not quite dropped) and so at its most interesting point in almost ten years, if you consider watching pitch flow interesting"

FYI - Steorns Orbo device uses that same Magnetic Bearing setup... however,
their magnetic bearings are vertical instead of horizontal.
Take a look at this & see what you think:

As for scaling, If my understanding is correct.. the larger the rotar, the more pickup
coils you can put round the diameter. From what I saw, it looks like there are
both the toroidal coils that drive the thing, as well as pickup coils which were mounted
above them on a different plane.

Nevermind. Im finding contradictory information on how long it had been running.
Still, its one heck of a device.

Its a cool art piece, but from the artists page:
--- Quote ---Reidar says the machine does stop on occasions but that this is not on a daily basis. To start the machine the pendulums are swung by hand, this puts an external input energy into the system, given that the machine does stop this means it is not over 100% efficient.
