STATISTICS: Curving Rail
VOLITION: ~1.22 (55 active u / 1 dual-axial track + 45 dual-axial active u)
EQUILIBRIUM: 10 (10 u / 1 stem / 1 subcycle for continuous movement)
EFFICIENCY: 0.122 (1.22 / 10)
VOLITIONAL STATEMENT: In spite of a good active-to- passive unit ratio for a wheel-like device, subcycles do not account for the use of such a quantity of units, amounting to inefficiency.

NATHAN COPPEDGE--Perpetual Motion Concepts
Perpetual Motion Machine Concept Utilizing Tracked
Weights and Ball Bearings on a Fixed Support Structure
SUMMARY
Wheels or ball-bearings on a gentle slope much reduce the force
necessary to lift.
Thus when a series of weights bound together by cable are each
attached by T-supports to ball bearings running on a serpentine track,
I estimate a 75% overall reduction in rising weight, with only 63%
increase in the number of weights deployed along that length of track.
The result is that when the weights are strung back down to their
starting point via a vertical drop of track, I estimate a 153%
over unity return on resistance, without accounting for friction
(according to my crude equations).
For criticism of this concept, see my Personal Critique.
You may also want to know about my physics background. How
qualified am I to make these statements? I honestly couldn't tell you
except in empirical terms.
