Perpetual movement /

The decentered pierced hole, symbol of vision and perspective, allows to displace the center of gravity of this wheel which gives both stability and, once in motion, dynamic acceleration, symbol of growing. Contrast and duality between stability and perpetual movement. Establishing a solid stable base allowing to increase capacity and expand development.

Perspective, stability, movement, acceleration.
This trophy object is made of massive brass.

The soft felt cover protects the object and can also be used to polish it. Once deployed, this felt blue cover can be use as a large rectangle base mat to delimit the movement of this wheel.

The decentered pierced hole, symbol of vision and perspective, allows to displace the center of gravity of this wheel which gives both stability and, once in motion, dynamic acceleration; symbol of growing. Contrast and duality between stability and perpetual movement. Laurier, laureate, trophy.

Perpetual movement is motion of bodies that continues indefinitely. A perpetual motion machine is a hypothetical machine that can do work indefinitely without an energy source. The laws of thermodynamics apply regardless of the size of the system.
The motions and rotations of celestial bodies such as planets may appear perpetual, but are actually subject to many processes that slowly dissipate their kinetic energy, such as solar wind, interstellar medium resistance, gravitational radiation and thermal radiation, so they will not keep moving forever.
