My grandfather claimed to have invented a perpetual motion machine in 
the 30s.  He showed me his drawings in the early 50s.  I just looked 
into it a bit since this discussion piqued my curiosity and it turns 
out to be the classic "overbalanced wheel" concept, first invented 
(supposedly) in the 8th century by an Indian Astronomer and then 
again around 1235 in France.

And yeah, I remember cold fusion.  A rather shameful day for the 
University of Utah.  Bad day.
