    A perpetual motion machine is a machine that, once it’s started, won’t stop and doesn’t need any additional energy to keep going. That means the machine could be used as a source of unlimited free energy. Which is great, so why don’t we just make one? Well, it isn’t because of some conspiracy theory by the energy sector. The reason none have ever been built is because they’re actually impossible to build since perpetual motion breaks the first two laws of thermodynamics. The first law is that energy is constant; it cannot be created or destroyed. The second is that entropy will either increase or remain the same. Essentially, you can never get a greater output of energy than inputted and energy will always decrease over time.

    Two things always confuse me when it comes to the for/against argument with perpetual motion machines.
    Firstly, when a machine is discredited because 'the magnet would lose its force over time', or the excuse that 'friction' would mean the parts need to be replaced.
    These 2 reasons effectively rule out all perpetual motion machines and all machines in general.
    In a billion years everything we have made, perpetual or otherwise, will be dust.
    I think friction and loss of magnetic force are separate from the goal, as I understood it the idea was to create a machine that produced more energy than it consumed, even if for a short period of time.
    Secondly, in a real world application, why does it have to be absolutely perfect, why not take one of these inventions, construct it on a larger scale, apply a system of gears and power a city on a 12 Volt battery?

      Yes a better argument against magnet based machines is even if they can run for years. They do so if you don't tap into them. So there are two major problems. One is that the magnets you manufacture for it would cost you way more energy to make and the second issue is the machines that rely on magnets to run for a long time, if you put an interference to draw that power the torque drops. Like how adding more load to a vehicle will slow it down or consume more energy.

    Talking about how the magnets eventually demagnetize is completely unrelated to the thermodynamic laws that these machines attempt to violate. Every one of these machines have some sort of miscalculation where even if the magnets worked forever or the friction decay of components could be safely ignored, these machines would still fail to work. I am down voting the video because the analysis was lazy, the thumbnail was click-bait, and the legitimate research was non-existent. This video was very disappointing.

      Second, magnetic field decay isn't the reason any of these don't work. A magnet is just a fancy spring. The energy isn't coming from the magnetic field. It is just being stored there. You stretch the magnetic field, it springs back. Net gain: zero.

    There seems to be a real misunderstanding here about perpetual motion machines. A perpetual motion machine is not a machine that never wears out, any machine wears out over time. It is a machine that either keeps it self going in a closed loop ( not needing outside help, ) or a machine that does that and creates an excess amount of energy as well.

What a lot of people have a misconception about when it comes to magnets, is they believe that magnets are a source of energy. They have a force, but are not a source of energy. In order for a force to do work, outside energy must be added to that force. And since there will always be energy lost in any system, less energy will come out than went in. In that case, more energy will always need to be added for the system to do a second cycle/rotation.

      I think the idea is not to count the start energy, cause it's not supposed to start from zero and to be able to power a megacity in year 3000. But the thing is supposed to work with a 100% efficiency. (Not expecting the 101%, which would be required to have the start energy countable on the process.

    • @pedrogodinho4649
      @pedrogodinho4649 Před 7 lety +2

      No, that's not the point. Perpetual motion implies at the very least 100% efficiency, at which point the energy can't be harnessed or you'll have less energy than you started with, making the motion stop eventually.
      And the energy needed to move the magnet back and forth is much bigger than the energy produced from the spinning wheel, due to energy loss to friction, so the efficiency is much lower than 100%.
      Intuitively it's easy to say that you can't have more than 100% efficiency, which is true. Still, people dedicate their lifetimes trying to prove that wrong and fighting the laws of thermodynamics.

      And that's the whole problem.
      If you can create a machine that generate more energy than it consumes... then you can use this energy to keep your machine running forever -just plug the output to the input.
      But as you said, nothing lasts forever. So there is no machine that can generate more energy than what is consummed.
      There is always a power source somewhere that will get depleted over time.
      Another thing to consider is that free energy means basically infinite energy.
      If you have such machine that can output more energy than you need to input to keep it running, then what stops you from taking this output and feed into another one (or more) of these machines ? Then take the new output, which is even larger, and feed it to even more machines, and so on ? By repeateing the process, you will obtain enormous amount of energy from the tiny input of your first machine in the chain, and there is no potential limit to how much energy you can create from this initial input. Does this sound right to you ?

When I asked him to show me his device, he told me he'd destroyed it long ago.

    I GOT ONE FOR YOU...I already built the first part and it DID work too (And I'm about to start building it again)...
    1) I placed two Strong flat (Fridge, rare earth) Magnets on a rotor (rotating inner part of a motor) and stator (the stationary outer part), so that they are repelling when approaching and leaving each other (same fields pointing at each other, opposite directions), but they attract strongly when edge to edge (opposite fields align then)...
    2) Using Soft Iron, you can compress the repelling field of one of the magnets, and the other magnet will be attracted to the metal instead of repelled from the magnet....then attracted until they align, then you have to break them free from that, so I angled the one magnet.....and it worked!
    Then I started building the motor...and put one magnet on the rotor...and lost everything I had due to petty 'government'! (Traffic codes, etc.). SO...then I studied the law, and now I made these 'LawDocs' to 'GovernPublicServants' and I've had two cops say 'over 90% of what we do' is Contrary to what I fit on one piece of paper (the actual law, quotes and URLs!), and got cases dismissed, and a lot more (cant give 'civil citations', all 'victimless crimes' and most 'civil offenses' are unconstitutional, and lot more)...
    So now I'm back to it....
    I'm learning to use modeling software now to shoe people how, but am willing to work with anyone with the means to mill iron and make these parts, and show everyone as we go, so everyone can make their own, and they all know who came up with it to be fair too!
    I need to mill out the soft iron so it wraps around the edge of the flat magnet (maybe 1/16in by 1/2 by 1/4inch, maybe 1mm or so of metal wrap around edge of magnet, but thicker than that to cover the whole side...to totally shield its field)...that way most of the backwards attraction will be cancelled if you tilt it just right, so that its attracted most to the furthest tip of the stationary magnet (the one with the soft iron wrapped around it, and tilted), at which point the repelling forces take over from there.
    "WHERE DOES THE ENERGY COME FROM?"...The momentum of electrons being shared between atoms so they spin in spiral patterns, like wires in a coil/electro-magnet, create the 'lines of magnetic force', which are really just electrical charges radiated in a spiral, so the 'North' is opposite the 'South' (if you wrap wire around a 'right hand thread' screw it will point 'Magnetic North' btw), so that when like fields align, like charges repel, but when they cause one another to rotate ('torque') until they point opposite directions because opposite charges also attract, until the spirals 'lines of force' cross each other, and they attract.
    SO, that does mean the magnets will wear out, but that the 'source' of the energy, is the momentum in the electrons that produce the 'permanent' 'magnetic field', and it takes less energy to remagnetize them (one big high amp zap) than you can get out of them, because the 'radiation' from all the directions hitting all atoms all the time adds to their 'thermal energy', their momentum, to help sustain the fields of magnets, molecular bonds, nuclear bonds, and all the atoms in the universe, because all of it is essentially just pressure and motion, 'governed' by this same 'Law of Induction', which really is just basic mechanics, pressure and motion, in geometric, 'harmonic' configurations, like the four 'electron orbital configurations' that make 'solid matter' exist!
    There is no 'creation' of 'energy', its just transforming it from one form to another! And I think when I earn enough soon helping people with cases, I'll be making these, battery chargers and home generators, then maybe new forms of propulsion using counter-rotating oscillating weights, cheaper ways to reach outer space, and maybe even more advanced technologies, 'electromagnetic wave interferometry', if you know what I mean! (Tesla did!).

    In the calculations, that is.

    The Fibsrud machine looks as though it could work by using the rotation of the earth to drive it. A pendulum free to rotate about its pivot was used to demonstrate the rotation of the earth, by sweeping out a circle in time with its rotation. Finsrud's machine could be using the energy from that rotation to keep the pendulum swinging, which causes the apparatus to rotate, which causes the pendulum to swing.... It isn't over-100% return on energy, but it is a way to obtain a sort of perpetual motion--as long as the earth turns.

    I forgot most of the details but the inventor missinterpreted what he found as a perpetual machine. The scientist looked into it and knew it was not a PM, but he saw potential because it seemed that it changed the behavior of motors under heavy loads... so when he accelerated, it got faster easier...
    Somehow he improved the magnetic field of the motor under certain conditions, and it performed better than others. So in the and the scientist was looking into it to see if it the improvement really works or if it was a fluke...

      Yes, gravity will act on it, but that doesn't mean it will collide. So long as an object is traveling above escape velocity, it will continue to get further and further away and never return. The reason is that gravity from the body gets weaker faster than the object slows down.
      Another way to explain that is that it only takes a constant amount of energy to move an infinite distance away in any gravitational field. So if you can escape the solar system you're *probably* good unless you accidentally pointed the object at another star or galaxy.

      You see, energy is never *generated*, it's only _converted_ from one form to another. Combustion engines convert energy of chemical bonds in the fuel into kinetic energy of combustion products, by re-combining atoms in such way that new combination carries less energy than the last one and the excess energy is released as light and motion. In nuclear reactor it works the same way except instead of using energy of molecular bonds, it uses much more vast energy of nucleus bonds. And watermills work because water up top has more energy than water on down below, when it goes down its energy is getting lower and excess energy is released as "mechanical" energy. Same thing with magnets. It also works backwards, if you can put back sufficient amount of energy to make the previously existed state possible again. You can take combustion products and make fuel and oxygen by putting energy into them (see photosynthesis), you can fuse heavy elements into even heavier elements in a collider, you can give the water it's energy back by lifting it upwards in a bucket, and you can give magnetic system it's energy back by taking magnets apart. It all works the same way for every kind of system. And all kinds of energy are the same.
      And the bottomline is, you can only take out as much energy as you put in there, provided nothing was ever lost.

      I disagree, I think the magnet's life has everything to do with the reason it isn't perpetual motion. If you are putting a magnet into a opposing magnetic field, the magnet will become demagnetized much faster than if it just sits by itself. The wheel is spinning because of opposing magnetic fields. If the life of the magnet was so long that it makes no practical difference, and it takes a relatively low amount of energy to create said magnets, then they would in themselves be perpetual motion machines, as they are effectively capable of creating more energy than was used to create them. I would be willing to bet the guy's hand motion puts less energy into the system than the magnetic fields of the magnets themselves. As in, they are effectively weakening by the same amount of energy they are putting into the system.

You will have a tough time getting around some version of: "Magnets work because they are magnetic". You are totally correct however that devices like these will not "spin until the magnets have no charge". It does not work because a magnetic field is ball shaped... not beam shaped, there is no way to arrange the fields so that you won't encounter force going in the wrong direction.. that is what will stop the mechanism from spinning.

      True but that's not the real reason the magnet based machines aren't really perpetual motion machines. This video is appallingly sloppy on the subject. You cannot extract energy from a static magnetic field only from a moving one and it will always take more energy to move a magnetic field than you can possibly recover. The classic example is the generator connected to a motor version of an over unity device. The generator turns a moving magnetic field into electrical energy and the motor turns the electricity into a moving magnetic field which turns the motor which turns the generator. At any speed above zero there will be loses due mainly to friction and heat so it will very quickly slow down to zero speed from whatever speed it starts at... And zero speed is useless.
      A static force like a magnetic field or gravity cannot do work on its own and energy is in effect work done. There has to be a change in the potential energy of whatever the force is acting upon for it to do work.

    Yes, all these perpetual motion machines are bogus and fraudulent. But this guy is clueless as to the actual reasons why.

      If a magnet could be used to safely ignore bearings, and drive a machine, then why would these idiots refuse to acknowledge its usefulness because, "It won't last forever."

      @@halcionkoenig243 because it will last about 1 day before becoming demagnetized and require replacement magnets. More energy is needed to replace the magnet than the machine would put out, at which point the magnet is just another fuel device

      @@MelodicTurtleMetal The problem is not demagnetization, but that it will not work at all. Possible magnetic machine after a while finds a position from which it does not start absolutely (it is an equilibrium position). The magnet itself does not work and is not a battery. Machines on the opposite principle, ie magnetization, can do little work if we disrupt that equilibrium state, perhaps by Coriolis force, as the Norwegian sculptor has done. Overnight, they must demagnetize their balls to be ready for visitors to their museum in the morning. So work is equal to the force that caused the imbalance and it is scarce. It is not about generating excess energy. The real (non-existent) perpetual mobile must accelerate (of course) and eventually release an infinite amount of destructive energy. We can be pleased that perpetuum mobile only works on CZcams fraudsters videos.

    none of these machines had any load on them. try to power something and they stop working.

      place magnets on the wheel and coils sitting still next to them and you will have frictionless power.

      not the proper way to look at it... if something could magically create free energy, it'd be a matter of not taking more energy from the system than is created in excess.

    Yea, I usually enjoy this guy's videos, but the 'not prepetual because magnets wear out' and 'frictionless' lines show he doesn't really know much about what he's trying to explain.

      Yes, but like the Australian Energy Department, these fools say, "Well, it can't immediately be better, so why bother?"
      Seriously, they have an energy crisis, and instead of letting foreigners build energy plants to relieve the problem, they literally stated the above as to why they denied Tesla.
      "We need a 90% improvement to our energy grid, and you're telling us your plants can only provide a 20% improvement? Yeah no, you're clearly not qualified to fix our problem."
