Hmmm, amazing isn't what I would call it, maybe boring until he pushed it to hard and it fell over and perpetual motion would require a more fundamental change in our understanding of energy conservation.

Yep, this was pretty boring, and seemingly a useless device.

Also perpetual motion will never be achieved.
