In summary, the example of a perpetual motion machine involving a ball rolling down a ramp with a magnet at the bottom is a violation of the second law of thermodynamics. The flaw is obvious as the ball would not have any reason to fall down the ramp in the first place. The magnet would not be able to continuously lift the ball back up without an external source of energy. Furthermore, the system is not possible to build without friction, which would cause a loss of energy and prevent the ball from completing a full loop. In conclusion, the example is not a practical or feasible perpetual motion machine.

What is this, MOND magnetism - magnetic fields get stronger as distance increases? Hilarious. I admit I'm not a fan of any theory that violates the laws of thermodynamics.
