The Museum of Unworkable Devices

http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/museum/unwork.htm

“This museum is a celebration of fascinating devices that don’t work. It houses diverse examples of the perverse genius of inventors who refused to let their thinking be intimidated by the laws of nature, remaining optimistic in the face of repeated failures. Watch and be amazed as we bring to life eccentric and even intricate perpetual motion machines which have remained steadfastly unmoving since their inception. Marvel at the ingenuity of human mind, as it reinvents the square wheel in all of its possible variations. Exercise your mind to puzzle out exactly why they don’t work as the inventors intended.”

This fascinating museum website was created, and is maintained and updated, by Donald Simanek, Emeritus Professor of Physics, Lock Haven State University, Lock Haven, PA; dsimanek@lhup.edu
