Discover: Dr. Jones' Strange Machine- M.I.T. vs Berkeley

Here's another gem I found on an old Beta tape. It probably aired on PBS sometime in the late '80's. Peter Graves is host. How many know that Peter Graves is Matt Dillon's (real name James Arness) brother. Peter Graves was in the original "Mission Impossible". He's the one that listened to the tape and then it would self destruct.
This episode of Discover has 2 technical universities pitted against each other to solve the mystery, "What makes the machine go?""
The inventor of the device is David Jones, (not the Monkee). He's a self proclaimed charlatan. And to be sure, he states there is no such thing as a perpetual motion machine.

He just removed one of the two boxes. So the machine might have been running because of it. I am not sure about the above statement.

Peter would reprise that role in the 1988 ABC revival, with the tapes replaced by discs.

the hidden thing the students didn't find is that it is an actual perpetual motion machine xD
