Lazarev's circular - perpetual motion?

[jonnydavro]

Hi.I recently came across a video on utube by vmu53 of his replication of a device called Lazarev's Circular which apparently produces perpetual fluid drops without any external powersource.
The device uses capillary action and he has increased the droplet speed by using petrol as the fluid medium as opposed to water.
I found the video quite fascinating and the device may be scalable and it should not be to difficult to utilise the kinetic energy of the droplets.
What was also very interesting is that in a comment to the video,there is mention of the working principle of this device being published in a book called "Etidorhpa" over 100 years ago,chapter 20-page 134 and it is a very interesting read.
Here is the video by vmu53 and also a link to Etidorhpa book.
It would be great to here your thoughts on this device.Jonny.

A few years back I thought of a similar concept (not pure capillary but the one describe in Etidorhpa). One thing I know for sure you can take water above its level with the process of diffusion. This can easily done by hanging toilet paper from a cup of water. Water would diffused upward. I tried to think of a way to get the water out of the paper after certain height but no succeed without some kind of input energy. Now when reading Etidorhpa, I realized that he mentioned another fluid density which connects the paper. This might be the key. The youtube vid may have refined the concept by using diffusion material. My thinking about the vid is it's like a boat with a tube. The weight of the boat put pressure on the water which pushes it through the tube. However, water pouring into the boat get diffused back to the bottom because of the material the boat made out of, but this is only my opinion. Thanks for the post.
