what ? I am 13 and super interested please tell me more!
I know that perpetual motion is pretty much a dead end, but a wheel that will turn over and over for a couple days or at least an hour is stile incredibly fascinating to me!

well it'll just have to come through experimentation!

but a cool device that you might want to look into is a Low Temperature Differential (LTD) stirling engine.

It's a little engine that one can build fairly easily that turns a flywheel (it has essentially no power, just enough to keep a wheel rotating) that operates off of very small heat sorces, such as your hand, or a computer, or anything like that!

Especially search youtube

Square up you avatar - add 50 pixels of white to the left and right sides. Then the head and wheels won't be cut off? L

Hi, You mentioned that you were working on an instructable for Tesla's 'ball lightning' experiments - how do you intend to do that? I'm dying to know! Good luck with it!

hm, I totally forgot about doing that, well it's all experimental and most of it is just HV discharging through some materials to create an effect (and if it works, ball lightening?) i can actually work on instructables projects now, now that all of my schhool club projects are over, i now have "me" time. i'll see what i can do, but I can't really give any specs at this point in time

If you need a design, these guys here seem to have a pretty good one, from what I understand: http://www.ussdiscovery.com/corum/corum/corum.htm
