My grandfather claimed to have invented a perpetual motion machine in
the 30s. He showed me his drawings in the early 50s. I just looked
into it a bit since this discussion piqued my curiosity and it turns
out to be the classic "overbalanced wheel" concept, first invented
(supposedly) in the 8th century by an Indian Astronomer and then
again around 1235 in France.

And yeah, I remember cold fusion. A rather shameful day for the
University of Utah. Bad day.
