      Perpetual motion machine: No. If it was possible it would mean that our current understanding of physics was wrong.

    • @bizarrefruit9133
      @bizarrefruit9133 Před rokem +1

      @@awkwardcultism I have a genuine question for you. The wind and the ocean have enourmous amounts of energy but it doesn't come from nowhere, magnets are not permanent but some in a human lifetime can be imagined as such, same as radioactive materials with a long half life. Gravity doesn't run out either. These forces can be harnessed and more power can be got out than was put in by us (humans) as we don't make the waves, gravity, or the magnetic forces.
      No device that used any of the above could be described as a perpetual motion machine, but I would suggest some people consider perpetual motion machines to include machines that run without needing a fuel we give it. A solar pannel could be seen as something for nothing in practical terms; the sun will outlive us. Wave generators too would be an example.
      In the universe, you can't get something for nothing. On Earth we can get electricity for 'nothing' as far as our investment of a fuel is concerned.
      The question is this: Do you think our focus on the physics of the universe deters some people from potentially inventing something which might be relatively simple because they immediately dismiss the idea as being impossible because you can't get something for nothing?
