BY NATHAN COPPEDGE QUORA ACCOUNT WAS AT RISK OF BEING DELETED, SO I HAD TO TRANSFER SOME MATERIAL
Yes, at least in my work, the pace of discovery has seen huge increases since Sept 2000 - Feb 2016.
PERPETUAL MOTION DISCOVERIES IN PAST 150 YEARS:
NOTE: Feel free to print.
HISTORICAL TIMELINE
I have heard an ethics professor say:
I used to think it means, if you can produce an idea, Plato can produce a god. Now I think it means, if you can produce an opinion, Plato can produce a god. And ultimately, nothing, and Plato produces nearly everything.
However, I haven’t taken this to heart because I have been unable to find evidence that Plato produced perpetual motion machines.
—What do you think about the statement “All philosophy since Plato consists of footnotes.” means?
300 - 200 BC Classical Greece: The great Ancient Greek scientist Archimedes writes: “Give me a place to stand, and I shall move the Earth with it” the earliest major known reference to the principle of leverage.
100 BC - 300 AD Classical Rome: Descriptions of the Roman baths refer to Apparatu Erratum, or erratic machines.
100 AD Heron of Alexandria designs Heron's Fountain and early boiling-hot-steam-powered devices.
1070 - 1125: Theophilus Presbyter, first recorded use in writing of using stored momentum mechanically (non-perpetual-non-gyro flywheel was thought useful because of lack of physics knowledge).
1159: Bhaskara II builds his famous dysfunctional wheel.
1230: Villard de Honnecourt's medieval Hammer Wheel.
1494: Leondardo da Vinci expresses frustration over perpetual motion.
1500's Mark Zimara describes a dysfunctional self-powered watermill.
1515: An unknown inventor, possibly an earlier relative of the later Christopher Wren, describes Veulmism, a theory of free energy on a similar principle to drawbridges.
1552: John Dee and Gerolamo Cardano (both listed in Wikipedia) investigate a perpetual motion machine in London, possibly based on draw-bridges or some type of wheel.
1604: Cornelis Drebbel demonstrates an atmospheric clock, dubbing it perpetual motion.
1618: Robert Fludd designs the dysfunctional Archimedean Screw.
1638 - 59:
Edward Somerset, Marquis of Worcester designs a double-wheel designed to tilt weights towards one side based on the way they are tied.
1661: George Andreas Bockler suggests the idea of mills run by perpetual motion.

How Marie Antoinette Became A Perpetual Motion Hero
1812: Charles Redheffer scams audiences with a cogwheel device supposedly powered by vertical wedges.
1818: A Mr. Spence designs a magnet machine apparently designed to deflect protruding magnets using boards attached to the device.
1827: William Congreve designed a device that was supposed to use outside weights to press on water-filled sponges, creating a difference in mass, e.g. if the weights are lighter than the sponges but expel water over time.
1861: Bishop Wilkins describes a dysfunctional magnet device attributed originally to Jean Taisner or Peter de Maricourt.
1870: E.P. Willis of New Haven created a fraudulent device.

1996: Stanley Meyer's water fuel cell is declared fraudulent.
SEPTEMBER 2000: Nathan Coppedge builds the Natural Torque Device before college, under the belief that only a child could build a perpetual motion machine and it is the last hope to do so. However he is spurned by his brother the prodigy who believes it is impossible, and the invention is not recovered for another eighteen years:
The Story of the Original Invention of the Natural Torque Device
2003: Thane Heins seeks patent for his Perepiteia device, relying on an unlikely feedback loop.
MARCH 2005: Originally conceived as the beginning of N. Coppedge's
Red Letter Days A visit to Mystic Aquarium by Coppedge results in an encounter with a vortex coin swallower machine, ultimately inspiring Nathan with the idea of leverage with supporting slope, and encouraging Nathan with the idea that perpetual motion can be invented (having already forgotten the Natural Torque Device under the influence of his family).
2006 - 2009 and even later: Steorn Company claims free energy and fails to provide sufficient evidence for experts to examine.
OCTOBER 29TH, 2006: N. Coppedge invented the Tilt Motor, and time-travels back to the morning of the same day. The Tilt Motor is the ingenious concept of a horizontal wheel, operated by levers.
FEBRUARY 4TH, 2007: Day N. Coppedge seems to have proven an unbalanced wheel, the "Principled Asymmetry". The device seems to rotate more easily in one direction than another.

MARCH 30TH, 2018:
NOT IF BUT WHEN 4--NEAR COMPLETE PROOF
APRIL 28, 2018 Craig Kirby becomes what looks to be the first scientific apologist, saying: “Quora has a ‘be nice’ policy. With this in mind I will now say something nice rather than saying what I would like to say. I would like it it if you left me alone now, as you are clearly my intelectual superior, and I feel threatened by your superior mind. Your invention… thing… is awesome. You are awesome and everything you have said is true, and everything I have said is lies. Please just let me be now as I have now apologised. Please leave me alone now. You are right and I am wrong about everything.” —Craig Kirby

APRIL 4, 2019: Further more careful suggestion that either the
REVERSE ESCHER or the Original
ESCHER MACHINE work with level.
MAY 9 - 10, 2019: FIVE ADDITIONAL EQUATION VARIATIONS FOUND: Spiral Cone: Here the Spindle weight has the added weight, which is usual for the long end. If we assume the Spindle is 1X mass, this device follows the same rules as the first class of devices in spite of the use of a pendulum-like element.
Double Seesaw Motive Mass Machine: The inertial resistance from the first seesaw must be << 1/2 of the second mass. Also, the motion of the second mass must be fairly close to horizontal, but never exactly horizontal.
Tilt Motor: Table resistance = < 1/2 mass of rolling cone.
Natural Torque Device: Assuming added mass of +1 on lever end, the weight of the wheel and the lever should average to the counterweight mass range which begins above the average +1 and ends at double that value - 1.
Original Escher Machine: Momentum * Wedge factor = > 1/2 effective mass.
During the longer motion the ball must move with net upwards motion. Downwards motion of course is easy.
Note: All these five devices gave maxed out values of == <150 conventional="" i="" over-unity.="">
