An Analysis of A Perpetual Motion Machine
www.wired.com/2012/11/an-anal...
"Like most perpetual motion machines, the explanation can be a little complicated. Now let me show a couple of reasons why this method doesn't work. First, there is a problem with the claim that the rod doesn't push as hard on the top arm (c). Why? Because those two pieces don't even touch. Here is a screen shot during the rotational motion"
Science Explained: The Physics of Perpetual Motion Machines
futurism.com/what-physics-say...
"If you aren’t aware, the Big Freeze is the theoretical end of, well, everything. It is the point at which the universe has expanded so much that it reaches a state of zero thermodynamic free energy. In other words, it is the point at which the cosmos, as a whole, will be unable to sustain motion. All of spacetime will be at absolute zero (the coldest known temperature, where all movement stops)"
The Shifting-Mass Overbalanced Wheel. Why it isn't perpetual motion.
www.lockhaven.edu/~dsimanek/m...
"From the 8th century to the present time inventors have sought to achieve perpetual motion by use of wheels with shifting weights. None have worked, but that doesn't stop people from using the same idea again and again, altering mechanical details, often with incredibly complex designs. I call this "reinventing the square wheel"."

what if I told you machines can be made the size of a few atoms and that phyisics as we know it dosn't apply at the quantum level. then again the technology to do this sort of thing is in very early stages. it's main purpose now is to make nano bots for medicine rather then infinite energy. even if we did use it that way I doubt the density of the energy could ever be very high.
isn't the universe itself something from nothing?
seems like all we need to do is make another big bang somewhere?
maybe do it on a small scale the size of a marble then stick it on Orion's belt for safe keeping. ;D
no stupid.
The universe is something. The "from nothing" part is conjecture. But I will say this much. Suppose there wasn't anything. Then there would not be anything to enforce laws against "something from nothing", and so here we are.
Nope. Meet the universe's mortal enemy: ENTROPY.

I used the overbalanced wheel wheel as my science project in 3rd grade. The point was to prove it dosen't work.
I think what gets missed though is that, even though these designs aren't perpetual, some of them were fairly efficient in being able to continually produce energy over the short time or were able to keep producing energy if given a little kick every now and then. Tech that was laughed out of existance or exposed as fraudulent perpetual motion may have been, in some cases, good mechanical batteries. However, with the focus and claims being on perpetual motion, other imagnative an potentially useful applications of the technology were missed. Although maybe not as efficient (or are they?) as current battery technology, building one may be more within the means of someone in need, and a given contraption may prove good enough to provide suficient energy to get by until the sun comes up or the winds blow or the rivers flood or you hand crank it to reset the thing. That's worth taking another look at.
Well said, I agree. Mechanical battery, never thought of it that way... Kind of like how certain thermal batteries are highly efficient yet not ubiquitous for long term energy storage. Great thought, I appreciate it!

you can't completely shut out the idea, there are still a few opportunities like what you said something out of nothing goes to the concept of zero point energy, and we don't know everything so it is still a possibility
shut up flat earther
@@gustialt we would still live in caves if all people were closed minded like you
My 8th grade science fair was a perpetual energy machine. Using a neodymium magnet on motor to create a current in a high density copper coil that was then wired into the motor. After starting it with a coin cell, there was a bit of lag time before it would completely stop, but it never continued indefinitely. At it's best I think it ran for about 2 seconds after the battery was removed.
I understand why people being cheated by fake videos, because not everyone study science.
It kind of goes beyond that. Its almost to the point of flat Earthers in the sense that they want to deny the whole concept of science that they'll believe in massive, global and century-long conspiracies rather than believing things that are not just studied to death, but nearly self-evident once you've been taught even the barest of fundamentals.
And some of these folk are (otherwise) very smart. There are some perpetual motion machines that have taken a _long_ time to disprove -- not that any (serious) scientist believed that they were real, but just because either the external energy source was so subtle that it wasn't immediately obvious, or the designer managed to reduce friction sufficiently that measuring the decay is difficult.
The unbalanced wheel is a good example of that. You can spin the thing a thousand times and confirm that it does indeed stop every single time, but figuring out _why_ it stops (shifted center of gravity) takes more of an in-depth analysis of some (comparatively) complicated mechanics.
studying science ... studying anything is believing and having faith of what OTHERS tell you is true. Have you seen an atom YOURSELF? No? Even though our models work really well it could be that everything is build on false or not fully true theories.
@@gorgono1 No, but I _could._ There's absolutely nothing stopping me except my own limitations (time, money, knowledge.)
.
Compare that to actual religious faith. No matter who I am, no matter how rich I am, how smart I am, how lucky I am.. I will never be able to prove to myself that God exists. I can either choose to believe, or not.
.
And no, attributing random daily events to "an act of God" is not evidence any more than your keys going missing is evidence that a black hole spontaneously formed in your living room, ate your keys and then promptly decayed. Experiments must be repeatable before anyone will consider them evidence of your claim.
.
And yes, there are plenty of hoaxsters who have made "scientific" claims that were bullshit -- but that's what peer review is for. It might make for fun headlines, but people who care about the actual science are (usually) pretty quick to sniff out bullshit, because the experiments won't be repeatable.
We have to be more innovative with energy. For example, make a perpetual motion machine that will run for 100+ years using magnets and replacing the magnets when they no longer work.
It’s not a perpetual motion machine if you have to jump start it
It's not a Perpetual Motion Machine if you have to jump start it, it's an engine and it has already been invented by Joseph Newman.
It also doesn't *necessarily* have to be perpetual, it could be something that runs for, say a month...
What if you created a "perpetual motion machine" that wasn't creating something from nothing but changing the static potential energy of it's environment into mechanical energy while using some of the energy it converts to power itself once it has been started? Would that still count?
But... if you use a superfluid to make a frictionless machine made to spin forever and generate energy, can't we use a fraction of the same energy this machine is producing to maitaing the low temperature of the superfluid? (Sorry, if my english is bad)
*Cool another science stuff that i don't understand but i'm gonna still watch it*
you forgot about taping a piece of toast with butter and a cat together
Rotating machinery also has to cope with wind resistance, sometimes called windage. As the machinery rotates it tends to drag the air located near its surface along with it. Any such disturbances where air is caused to move also extracts energy from the machinery and will slow it down.
That background colour gradient looks dope
keyphrase "HOW WE (THINK!) PHYSICS WORK"
It’s basic thermodynamics, even if can make it spin forever, it won’t be able to generate any excessive energy, just the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics
But what if we use gravity?
Because thats energy.... I think ...🤔
@@delicioushomemadestrawberr8730 **its a force**
If a machine could run and power things for a good long time between inputs of energy, perhaps such a system could be used like a battery? (like flywheels, etc.)
What about something spinning in the vacuum of space while being weightless? If there is no gravity or air resistance to cause friction would it spin forever?
if it is possible there could be infinite energy to us.

• Screw them together so they can’t come apart (make the butter sides face inwards towards each other).
• Drop them and observe.

So by definition if I build one of these machines in an environment devoid of external influences, including ambient heat, solar, and *gravity*, then would such a machine using super-conductors & super-fluids be able to run forever? Remember the absence of heat mean that the super conductors would not need additional energy to cool itself. And the absence of gravity would mean there would not be an inbalance in the machine.
Eventually the half-life of the material you built it out of would be reached before forever comes around though. I suppose you could build it out of a neutron star... Hm. I guess they'd eventually have to evaporate into photons. Maybe a black holes... Nah it'd all evaporate. I got nothin'. Even in that environment.
The argument of additional energy to cool is environmentally dependent, and therefore +Seeker is logically flawed. i.e. In a Cold sink environment, no external energy to cool is needed
Its possible, it just nit possible on base on our knowledge right now. We can’t even find out what is dark matter and can’t even create out own clone or travel with speed of light. We are still on zero level civilization. But its possible. In the future. Like when I dead lol

What about using a magnetic field does that create friction?
As a conceptual triumph, a _truly_ perpetual motion device is a fine dream which to inspire invention via trial and error. As a *standard* for possible sources of renewable energy, it’s a useless-ass “Who’s is Bigger” contest.
I say Close Enough is Good Enough!

“Commanding “ an AI is like creating a perpetual motion machine
Well, ok, delete the word "command", and let it to decide on its own whether it will design it or not (when it realizes that making such thing could provide immortality with infinite energy, it will certainly try to do it).
@@YTuseraL2694 it's impossible to make one cuz physics. Telling a machine to make one is like asking it to divide by zero.
MassiR77 you are forgetting that "physics" is a science, in other words it is a human construct, set of man-made mathematics, formulas, assumptions and observations based on our senses. It is arbitrary to some degree, and we can't really say "never" about anything in this universe. And about your dividing by zero; dividing by zero doesn't implicate that something is impossible, it is instead UNDEFINED, which would in the real world mean that we don't really know what to expect from my assumption about ASI (Superintelligence) designing a perpetual motion machine.
Those veiny little arms are freaking me out
We can tell you've been working out (;
...
everyone like this right fricken now he needs this..
Also, I have been thinking this forever, you take almost any attempted perpetual motion machine, and add up the energy lost from friction, the air, and heat loss, than the way you get around this minor problem of not being able to get enough of energy out of the system.. is.. you need to add energy from the surroundings to the system. So right now the energy of 1 square foot of waves in the ocean, is more than enough energy to tip the ball or carry a boyant ball back to the top of a rig, or solar energy, or the heat from magma around a volcano, or wind, or magnified beam of sunlight that could melt steal, this is alot of energy that so far we cant convert into usable energy efficiently.. do you know how much energy it would take to replicate that beam of magnified light from one square foot of refractive lens? Thats alot lol. These can all keep a system going forever, now we if we can create a simple small cell that creates consistent energy lets say only 1cent a day, you increase the surface area of the collective unit, and eventually you have a macro level source of constantly flowing natural energy. So wait. Just think of the simplest way to convert the constant motion of wave rolling a ball around, the ball will roll as long as its floating with no stable position... Now lets say its the size of a grain of rice, if you can maximize surface area to add as many of those tightly packed together, than if the size of that unit is the size of lets say the size of a basketball, if you had just taken 1 of those cells, and kept it large so the size of a basketball, your densely packed cells would create more energy than the single large cell that is the same size.. How crazy is that.. so this is how we can efficiently harness energy from natural sources.. heat is a big one... ANY movement.
For the machines axis why don’t you make the centre magnetically levitated for there to be no friction.

Fact: Using the word “machine” with perpetual motion or energy, will give it a beginning
and an end, making it finite. With this new and better understanding of perpetual devices, its meaning will need
updating in defining it as finite. This way, these devices or machines will not violate the laws of thermodynamics,
laws of nature, laws of physics, makes them patentable. ~Guadalupe Guerra

If you could shield a magnet such that you only had one pole, could you not use that to drive something? Why can't you shield magnets?
What if you were to use the heat caused by friction and somehow use that energy to give the wheel a kick
You have sataliets which are geostationary . Keep falling forever, maybe this can be used somehow?
What was the first rule again or should we not speak of it?
But gyroscopes.
They require very little mechanical force for short, but high RPM.
A fidget spinner for example.
What if you attached a gyroscope to an axel that has many alternators to supply a motor with power to keep the gyroscope spinning
You get the already discovered technology of "regenerative breaking" and it grinds to a halt after generating less than half of the power you put into making it spin.
Put at the bottom of a year round wind gully , build some walls parallel to make it have a quicker wind tunnel
Is it possible to make one in space since there’s no gravity, even making it spin enough to power a machine that makes it spin again would make it go forever
No it won't. If you spin the machine and then try to power another machine to re-spin the first one both machines will create some heat and experience thermal losses. Once all the energy contained in the device is converted to heat and dissipated the machine will eventually stop.
I used to have a perpetual motion machine in subnautica but then they made it so it wouldn't work
(Power cell charger in a cyclops with an engine efficiency module)
from where comes the energy that rotates the wheel ?
You got a like at 2:50 for the Fight Club reference. Made me giggle
is the big bang cycle perpetual motion? is physic law allowed?
What about tidal-based energy systems?
A moon filled with water orbiting a large planet keeps its waters liquid via tidal forces exerted on it as it gets closer and farther from said planet. Left alone, would the tidal forces "run out"?
What about a spinning wheel with magnets on arms that spin into a “rail gun” aka a bunch of magnets lined up to propel the magnets on the wheels arms
Can't you use the energy from a fusion reactor to power itself and other electronics? Seen how it takes less energy to create a fusion reaction then the output of energy caused by it. Nvm. I guess thats not really a motion based machine.
Smooth ad transition.
If you made a magnet axle and in a vacuum environment would a wheel that sounds forever work
Not forever,but a long time
Does a spinning floating magnet in a vacuum count?
Can friction be eliminated by magnets?
Could you suspend the wheel in a magnetic field so there is no friction? Not the whole thing but just where all the spokes join? It might run a lot longer if that were possible. Maybe the motion of the balls would make it bounce around and unbalance it. No idea.
Cthulhu Has Risen magnets do not hold their field indefinitely. Unless you use energy to recharge their magnetic field. It would last very long but not forever. In short magnets wear out, it would be the equivalent to running out of gas.
@@RetrogradeBeats yeah I know, I just thought maybe they would last longer without friction. I'm sure even the marbles moving back and forth would be a small amount of friction that added to it stopping. Would be cool to see how long they could keep it going. I am in full agreement with host. There is no true perpetual motion machine.
"The first law of thermodynamics. You don't talk about thermody..."
Thank you sir. I laughed at that.
Could you make a perpetual motion machine in space? I guess the friction is still a problem but what if there was just a spinning wheel in some remote part of the universe where nothing aside from gravity (like the attractive forces between objects with matter) interacts with it. Would it spin forever?
you could reduce friction by using magnets. The axel and "bearing" being opposite poles. Problems still exist for air resistance and to create electricity, the coil and stator create resistances... but it could be very efficient, just not perpetual.
I heard there was something VERY close to a perpetual motion machine, it was a clock that is powered by changes in atmospheric pressure. It’s not technically s self powered machine but it does run on an infinite source of power which is very cool in itself.
scientists still call it an "experiment" - even though some have been running for well over 100 years.
I have an idea. We can negate friction with a superconductor, so we can harness a magnetic field. We would need to cool the magnet but space is pretty cold so we could throw it there, maybe in one of the coldest spots in the universe.
If perpetual motion machines won’t work, what keeps voyager in motion? Isn’t space frictionless?
Its intresting that the same topic was on PBS space time just a week ago
What if you made a wheel in a near perfect vacuum with little or no other gravitational bodys to influance it.
You have a bar with a magnet at the center, and a wheel with a ring magnet of an opposing fields as to keep them from touching, but also keep it from flying off.
The only flaw i could see is when the magents decay in to other elements.
The only energy input would be the initial put to spin the wheel.
The only energy you would be able to ascertain from the machine would be the energy you put into it to start it. It would not create any additional energy.
