Notice how it's cut and edited at 0:51? Automatically suspicious.
Also, he claims that it's gravity powered, but that's rubbish; a ball resting on 2 angled discs will just stay where it is under gravity.
I know it's a fun thought experiment, but it's really an open and shut case; perpetual motion is impossible because physics.

I reckon anything is possible. But when I see metal on metal contact or the use of magnets. I instantly think of the lifespan of the magnets or the wear and tear via metal on metal. 100,000 years of constant motion = pretty good, but not perpetual.

I saw somewhere recently a series of devices that gerated perpetual motion (not factoring evential wear and tear)

The initial problem is that magnetism is not perpetual.
The next problem is that the machine needs to produce more energy than it consumes to keep running.
Finally, all machines tend to deteriorate.
So, IF and a big IF one could use the extra energy to power a machine that repairs the perpetual machine and then a machine that repairs the machine that repairs the perpetual machine.
