I say the video is cool for presenting the various forms of perpetuum mobiles but I have to note that I have studied a few myself and so far none of them actually work (video fakes it probably). I bet the ones in the video had engines powering the "perpetuum" motion. I can testify for the one with the water and for one of the overbalanced wheels because I have tried them myself. The second law of thermodynamics says PM's aren't possible but otherwise, I hope PM's are possible(I'm in denial) and that someday we'll discover one, it would surely solve our energy crisis.
