Perpetual motion machines - devices that can do work indefinitely without any external energy source - have captured many inventors’ imaginations because they could totally transform our relationship with energy. There’s just one problem: they don’t work. Why not? Netta Schramm describes the pitfalls of perpetual motion machines.

Don't we sort of have perpetual motion though? Superfluidity has no friction so if you stir it it'll keep spinning forever. Don't know is that breaks any of the physics laws or whatever, but from what I read it'll never stop, and they can definitely be created.

another (and simpler) way to look at the overbalanced wheel is that while those weights that stick out should be turning the wheel, there's also fewer of them than of the weights on the other side that don't stick out
If the weight on the other side will be larger how can they even rotate.

great video, as someone who loves math and botany at the same time, I would like to add that. It can be very, very difficult for a machine to generate and expend its own energy, but a plant placed in a jar or lantern can create a kind of recirculation by producing its own oxygen and then expending its own carbon dioxide. Of course, another point that needs to be said here is that this plant can achieve this by taking energy from the sun...
Lmao
The sun is pretty much infinite so it has a point
@@GustavoGomes-nn5npIt will last for a long time, but not forever.
in our lifetime we dont gotta worry about the sun. The people who have to worry about it can worry about it, not us.
In the end, nothing can function without getting energy from the outside. Need to get more energy than they produce. If the plant is isolated from the sun, it'll eventually die.
Humans: *gets idea that sounds reasonable and easy to make*
Physics: lol no
Hahahahahaha

I hate you, Physics
TechnoWimp ask physics we can find a way a new way make one, one that can change the world as we know maybe on a different planet
seeing as we still know so little , the most appropriate answer would be : "not like that"
A few other things:
1) If a closed system could produce more energy than it consumes, then it would just infinitely accelerate until it.. explodes or something?
2) There is no way to actually prove that a machine would never stop, the same as there is no way to check beforehand if a computer program would loop forever or stop at some point (Tom Scott made a very good video about that)
I've been asking myself this forever. It never ends.

Back to the Laws of Thermodynamics, beloved of my time in the early to mid 1970s, studying Applied Chemistry at Uni. It's so long ago, at the start of the article here, I could only remember the First Law, and the narrative reminded me of the Second aw. If there are any others (I'm honestly not sure), I'll have to look them up.
There was enthalpy, the entropy, all rolled up into free energy. In the end I gave up and got a Ph D in organic chemistry. Now it is quontum theory.

This explains why at your old schools playground those spinner things never worked. You could get in them and be pushed, but the thought of leaning yourself inward or outward to go faster doesn’t work because immediately it will just rotate back and forth after maybe one forceful spin.

English:
Even if it were completely self-sustaining, you cannot add or remove energy without changing the system, which would lead to a failure.
If you take away energy, it can no longer sustain itself.
If you add energy, the whole thing is pointless because you don't mean "perpetuum mobile" as such, but as a generator. E=0, i.e. E=(input=output) and thermodynamics don't play a role because energy is ALWAYS lost, be it through friction or something else, especially if you want to convert electricity into heat or kinetic energy.
Of course, I can, for example, equip 2 disks with magnets and let them rotate forever. But you then change the initial situation by building a translation for the desired type of energy, which is absolutely necessary somewhere if you want to use things.
Sooner or later the disks stop when the angular momentum ends or is stopped by the magnetic field and you need (relatively quite a lot) of energy to make them rotate.
If something like this had already been invented to work, the Internet and newspapers would be full of it. Would be (almost) better than finally seeing a fusion power plant in operation.
German:
Selbst wenn es sich vollständig selbst erhielte kann man auch dann keine Energie zu- oder abführen ohne das System zu verändern was zu einem Ausfall führen würde.
Entnimmt man Energie kann es sich nicht mehr selbst halten.
Fügt man Energie zu, ist das ganze Ding sinnlos weil man ja nicht "Perpetuum mobiles" als solches meint, sondern als Generator. E=0 ,also E=(Eingang=Ausgabe) und die Thermodynamik spielen da nicht mit denn es geht IMMER Energie verloren, sei es durch Reibung oder sonst was, erst recht wenn man Strom in Wärme- oder Bewegungsenergie umwandeln will.
Klar kann ich beispielsweise 2 Scheiben mit Magneten bestücken und es sich ewig drehen lassen. Nur, verändert man dann die Ausgangslage indem man eine Übersetzung für die gewünschte Energieart baut, was ja irgendwo zwingend erforderlich ist wenn man dingen benutzen will.
Über kurz oder lang bleiben die Scheiben stehen wenn der Drehimpuls endet oder vom Magnetfeld beendet wird und man braucht wieder (Verhältnissmäßig ziemlich viel) Energie die es sich drehen ließe.
Wäre sowas bereits funktionsfähig erfunden, wären Internet und Zeitungen voll davon. Wäre ja (fast) besser als endlich mal ein Fusionskraftwerk in Betrieb zu sehen.

That windmill sketch is brilliant. Let's build a real scale proof of concept of it.
1 kg dropped one meter in a 20 kg (9.5 kg on one side and 10 .5 kg on the other) Atwood’s machine can produce 19.81 units of momentum.
The cylinder and spheres transfers all that 19.81 units of momentum to a 1 kg mass. Which means the spheres must be moving 19.81 m/sec.
A 1 kg mass moving 19.81 m/sec can rise 20 m.
The 1 kg is dropped 1 m and it rises 20 m.
That is a 2000% increase in energy.

Great topic
A 1 kg mass moving 24.26 m/sec will rise for 2.473 seconds (this needs 24.26 N * sec: 9.81 N for 2.473 sec) and it will travel up 30 meters. After it has been raised 30 m the 1 kg mass can be placed in a 199 kg Atwood’s and dropped for 30 m. This takes 34.97 sec for (9.81 N/kg) 343.10 Ns. There is much more momentum in the Atwood’s than is needed for the rise.
Newton's second law of motion: states that in a closed system, not affected by external forces, the total linear momentum does not change.
This line can be the line that is the circumference of a circle. The interactions in this line are the same as interactions in a straight line. If a 40 kg rim gives all of its linear momentum to 1 kg: the momentum is still conserved even though all the mass is moving in a circle. One kg moving 40 m/sec has 40 times as much energy as 40 kg moving 1 m/sec; but it has the same linear momentum.
This means that the Laws of Physics ‘require’ that energy can be made from preexisting momentum. And this energy can be easily recycled. The friction is minimal; because this 40 times increase is done in just a few seconds

If I’m not mistaken in theory yes perpetual motion is possible if no energy escapes since energy can’t be created nor destroyed, but in practice it’s not possible because with our current technology there will always be a source for energy transfer, even with out friction, some energy is transferred to sound, and heat just to mention two. There is simply too many ways energy can escape, and even if you decrease this to a fractional amount, eventually all the energy will escape. Anyways I’m never paid much attention in physics so correct me if I’m wrong.
Even if you managed to stop all forms of energy (it’s impossible) it would still be useless.
So they’ve obviously never plugged an extension chord into itself🙄
Can't believe we've been trusting these "scientists" this whole time. They just don't want to give the populous infinite energy!

If there can be non-newtonion fluid, why can't there be a perpetual motion machine which may not last forever but if it's working most of the time, what's the problem in starting it again, with help of gravity, etc external forces
The only source of free perpetual energy that I can think of is a large antenna that grabs free radio wave energy and converts that into a tiny DC current to be saved into capacitors or otherwise. There will always be free radio frequency energy from natural and other sources.
Imagine if Newton hadn't invented the laws of thermodynamics
waiting for an r/woooosh comment

Lmfaoo....Newton didn't discover laws of thermodynamics tho... People like carnot, kelvin etc., Did.
this needs more like
Well, they're false so he technically did invent them

j a it’s funny because if you think about it, a button or a lever is literally infinite energy.
@@nickwilson3499 a button is temporary, a lever lasts for as long as it's on
If you consider the "Redstone System" as the code running in your computer's processor/s and being stored in memory, then the system is in fact drawing power from an external source. Interesting to think that the redstone's "energy" is just virtual - virtually infinite - though still limited by the physical energy which you can give to your computer.

What if you drop a ball trough a ramp into itself but it also reaches terminal velocity? Obviously it would need to withstand that.
By using the properties of water and gravity, you can build a closed loop hydroelectric power station that will produce electricity indefinitely as long as you keep up with the matenance of the moving and electrical parts. Technically, the water will be in popetual motion.
Yoo, ted just tricked me into learning for 5 minutes
Lol 😂
your ancestors: shame
Yeah what were they thinking?
i couldnt imagine not wanting to learn things like this, its so interesting.
It's the narrator's voice, I swear. I could listen to him talk about things I'm not even remotely interested in for hours.
I always pictured Perpetual motion machines as God checking his first draft and then saying
Ooooh yeah gotta patch this one, that could get crazy lol
Would be interesting to read all the patch notes throughout our history 😂
@@sirisaacclarke4964 🤔👍
You obviously mean the Catholics
@@ten3195 guess God just abit lazy on patching that one, leaving earth a it is for hundreds of year ( its a joke )
Lol
2:56 If the only problem in this situation is that the water won't fall back down, what if the tube continued a little more and that part was vertical, and if that won't work, what if something small and thin to fit inside the tube then the water would have to cling onto that stick and the weight of the water would fall back down right?
If the end of the tube was vertical, the water might fall out of the vertical part, but it'd also stop right where the vertical part starts.
I'm not sure about that small thing. Is it moving at all? Or just standing there? Cuz I don't think the water would keep dripping down it.
