The eternal search for perpetual motion machines continues! This sketch shows a truck with a robotic arm holding a magnet that's attracting an iron plate attached to the truck itself. It's basically trying to pull itself forward using magnetism – a classic physics-defying dream that would break conservation of energy faster than a grad student breaks their diet during finals week. The magnetic force pulling forward would be exactly balanced by the force needed to hold the magnet in position. Newton's third law strikes again! It's like trying to lift yourself up by pulling on your own bootstraps, except with more engineering and equally impossible results.
