自动轮骗局。1714年,德国人奥尔菲留斯声称发明了一部名为自动轮的永动机,这部机器每分钟旋转60转,并能够将16kg的物体提高相当的高度。当他宣布了这一消息并进行了公开实验后,名噪整个德国。1717年,一位来自波兰的州长在验看了安放自动轮的房间后,派军队把守这座房屋。40天后,他发现自动轮仍在转动,便给奥尔菲留斯颁发了鉴定证书。
Auto round scam. In 1714, the German Olphenius claimed to have invented a perpetual motion machine called an automatic wheel that spins 60 revolutions per minute and is capable of raising a considerable height of 16 kg. When he announced the news and conducted a public experiment, he became famous throughout Germany. In 1717, a governor from Poland sent troops to guard the house after inspecting the room where the automatic wheel was placed. Forty days later, he found that the automatic wheel was still rotating, giving Orpheus a certificate of authenticity.
