Perpetual Motion – IOTW Report

Perpetual Motion

The laws of physics say that friction and other energy disappating realities makes a machine that will run indefinitely impossible.

 That hasn’t stopped this guy from offering up some different approaches to trying to achieve the feat.

 

A lot of these seem to be inspired by the over-balanced wheel concept.

 I like how no one in the comments on either link believe any of these actually work for a minute.

  1. When you pass any form of energy thru a medium you
    lose some of that energy thru friction.Radio waves and light
    travel thru the universe unimpeded because space is an empty
    vacuum with no resistance…

  2. Physics does allow for perpetual motion as long as it is rotation.
    However, it can do no work.
    Rotation is a special motion in that it is the only motion that moves against a fixed frame of reference and is not relative to other objects or frames of reference.

  3. The guys that invented those machines are dam smart people !
    The classic PM machine is a generator connected to a electric motor.It
    will run a long time with precise bearings.

  4. I recall physics as one of my toughest classes in college.
    It didn’t help having an Asian teacher that could barely pronounce English words.
    Frictional contact mechanics was a string of words that made us all snicker when Li tried his best.

  5. Too many made grinding, clunking noises. No way it’s even efficient, much less perpetual.

    Now, the Gyrocopter. That’s impressive. How do the unpowered blades not slow down at all during flight? They are doing work by providing lift.

  6. OK now we’re getting into the mysteries of quantum science.

    As soon as you understand light is both particle AND wave it’ll make more sense. Depends on the observer’s method. You’re dabbling in the quantum realm of understanding the universe’s basics.

    Careful. You might end up seeing an argument for a Creator if you go far enough.

  7. One need not go very far.
    Most astrophysicists are creationists. That is the essence of the Big Bang theory. Also, there is no mechanism that can allow for other than that all the information needed to create the universe existed before it was created.
    That information had to reside in something.
