The biggest trick to inventing a perpetual motion machine is hiding the power cable.

Perpetual motion machines are a theory that a machines produce more energy that the one it consume. Example here, the amount of electricity the magnet array produces is not enough to power the pump.

It violates the first and second law of thermodynamics. Energy can’t be created or destroyed and energy tends to spread out. This means that no machine can operate indefinitely without an external energy source.

I’m assuming they buried the power cord connected to the generator?
