Why is this Experiment violating the conservation of Energy?

It's not zero, though. The energy change would be the same. You decrease the height change by increasing the area and raising more mass. Or you can increase the height change by decreasing the area.

 

What you can't do is ignore it in your analysis.

 

Unbalanced equations are the greatest source of renewable energy...

 

There ought to be a name for perpetual motion machines based on this concept as it comes up "perpetually"...ignore a small change in energy as insignificant and then use it over and over to perpetually drive the machine.

 

We also see it's cousin that thrusts itself forward in space by creating it's own momentum...all by claiming as insignificant what is used over and over in some sort of circuit.

That was entartaining. Thank you all contributors.
