PREFACE

Extracts....

Great inventor like Orffyreus always believed that tremendous quantities of energy can be obtained just from nothing and a gravity driven perpetual motion machine does it very easily. Undoubtedly, perpetual motion machine is an inexhaustible source of energy. It solves all our energy problems. This is why people all over the world have tried to devise different types of perpetual motion machine. Though a majority of attempts have been unsuccessful, II Marquis of Worcester, Councilor Orffyreus, and Hendrickson are among those who were the successful inventors but not widely known to world. Orffyreus built many wheels and demonstrated them at various places in Germany. And how did it work? How one can reinvent Orffyreus’ perpetual motion machine? How does it help us to understand true nature of energy and its behavior?  These are the questions that require detailed answers and also going back into a detailed history that this book provides in a new light.  Whether we regard the depth of Orffyreus’ learning about the nature of gravity, the extent of his research, the accuracy of his experiments, or the beauty and originality of his invention, in whatever way we contemplate his works, our admiration is equally excited......

.....All history writers on the law of conservation of energy have avoided even the mention of genuine perpetual motionist like Edward Somerset and Orffyreus, their masterly invention of perpetual motion. It is impossible to deny the merits of their works but knowing their utter inability to cope with truth of perpetual motion, they have wisely passed them by in silence….
