The fact is, however, that the center of gravity will remainalways in a perpendicular drawn through the axis, and, consequently,the expectations of the inventor were never realized. 960. PERPETUAL MOTION. The hydrostatic weight or differ-ential volume problem. A too prevalent belief at the present time that a large area or body of water has a greater hydro-static pressure than a connected tube rising from itsbase. A projector thought that the vessel of his con-trivance, represented here, was to solve the renownedproblem of the perpetual motion. It was goblet-shaped, lessening gradually toward the bottom untilit became a tube, bent upward at c, and pointing with.
