| My Perpetual Motion Story |
| DREAMS OF PERPETUAL MOTION My life is full of moments that don't belong in any particular place or time. One of these was what amounts to a vision-- but which I now suppose was rather a very vivid dream, or even a premonition--of something akin to a game. I imagine that I played this game at one point, but I cannot recollect what it might be called, or even how it might be a diversion, except that it was riveting, and seemed wholely wonderful, simply as a consequence of how it worked. It consisted of a vertical tube of marbles, and a lever that might lift these marbles, so that each marble would in turn land on the end of the lever. The way I remember it the tube contained many marbles. But now I see that that might only be so if the lever were considerable in length. Each marble had sufficient weight to lift by leverage the entire stack of marbles, until the upper-most marble might reach the upper end of the lever, which now lifted as the fallen marble took a place at the bottom of the stack. I do not know the specifics of its operation other than it was striking in its simplicity. However, the idea stuck with me, so that recently as best I may I drew up a diagram showing the most plausible use of the same principles, which I have come to call "Repeating Leverage". While I do recall that there must have been a man, an inventor, who was present in the dream, I do not know his name, but wonder if perhaps he lives amongst us, or even if he is my present self, a guiding hand for the impossible dreams of my younger age.
