Mr. Finsrud's PMM (Perpetual Motion Machine) 

This is a very short notice on the PMM of Mr. Reidar Finsrud in Skaarer, 
Norway. Mr. Finsrud is a painter and makes sculptures, an artist. 
He started the design of his PMM, or as he says, his 'moving sculpture' 
or 'sculpture' twelve (12) years ago...The whole machine is placed inside 
a glass mount, to prevent visitors who view the machine in the gallery 
from touching it. All the parts and the internal workings of the device 
are clearly visible in a video made by the Norwegian channel 2 (TV 2). 
This is well below Dr. Hal Puthoffs' '1 Watt Challenge'. BUT, the total 
ENERGY that the device has already produced is E tot = P * t , 
taking t = 1 month, E tot = 0.16 * 2 592 000 s = 414 720 Joules. This is 
a VERY large amount of energy. There will be more info available in the 
near future. We will try to get the exact design description from the 
inventor. I have a rather poor VHS copy of the program as it was broadcast 
on Nowegian TV Channel 2. With a little help I could convert it to the 
American video standard.
