Greetings Steph

 Welcome to the forum. I am fairly new here and have enjoyed it.

General Science / Is perpetual motion impossible?

So the means justify the end, so to speak?

 Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. 1 action causes another reaction which causes anther reaction in a closed loop could become perpetual.

For my hobby. The enjoyment justifies the hobby, the rest are just fringe benefits. Here is a youtube video I did with magnets
You should find it an interesting effect. Regular steel bar above holding a regular steel ball above the magnet without touching a magnet. I am sure I can show many slide of hand magic tricks  that can incorporate the effect.

The above are all very well
BUT THEN WHAT IF SOMEONE" ACTUALLY DID PAY FOR IT!"
and thus...

Lets ask about energy? can you destroy it? No you can only change it. everything is a cycle. The cycle of life ect. For perpetual motion you are just containing it in a smaller space.

It is not always the quest but, it is what you learn from the quest. Many many inventions have come from this quest that have helped change the world or had lead to others that have. I myself have 4 inventions that have come from this quest. One I am presenting for contract with the US military, but it has many other uses as well. (it is not a weapon)

 PS Bored chemist
That is a blanket answer. You didn't truly answer the question.

« on: 22/11/2008 01:17:19 »
I would say just a softer form of the toy that we called Stretch Armstrong back in the 1970s. Of course it could also be like those stretchy sticky things the kids get from those 50 cent toy machines.

Greetings Alan McDougall

  Chernobyl could have been worst and I am not sure if it got into the water table. The funniest thing now it nature is reclaiming all of it and animals are roaming around as well. The special that showed it was called life after man.

By the way Alan is a great name

Impossible or possible, this is the meaning of the string.
You take my design I posted. If the shooter design shoots the ball from the 8:00 position up towards the 2:00 position which will hit most likely at the 3:00 position due to weight displacement. The wheel will rotate as long as the shift for the shooter shoot around the 8:00 position for each ball. Thus this perpetuation of the motion which mean shoot and shift on time.

 If this happens it will run until it is stopped or break down. Is this not perpetual motion if this happens? According to the patent office it would be.

This just a thought to add.
How the term "free energy" rakes against my nerves.
It would best be called "over unity investment"
You still have to spend money for the windmills, solar panels, the materials of whatever we use to collect the available energy. Then it finally pays for itself from freeing you from spending that much money to the power grid. So you get more back from you investment. More out than in = over unity.  [:o)]

Technology / Re: What electronic device is required to light a series of bulbs in sequence?
« on: 18/11/2008 02:43:26 »
Quote from: Onlyinterestednotdevoted on 17/11/2008 23:39:30
I need an electronic device to create a pulse. I will provide a source of electricity and I need something to make it pulsate in a sequence. For example, 4 lightbulbs that shine in sequential order. But one can not shine until the other has died out. I want to arrange the machine in a circle pattern, with 4 points. Can someone please give me some ideas? Thanks.

I suggest a home made single post generator with a governor to time out the pulse.

Have you really  not read of all the similar designs which have been long since discredited?

What similar designs? I have seen thousands and have not found one similar to this one. [8D]

I am finally getting back to work, and as soon as I get caught up a little, I'll get my wheels done.

Here is one of first of my original designs I posted on other forums. I use it to help prove the possibility of perpetual motion.

@ All

 Back in the past the patent office was getting all to many perpetual motion machine patent applications. And sever where trying to get the idea of perpetual motion itself in any form. So when any body had a breakthrough they could use the courts to take it. It was getting out of hand so the patent office refused unless the people had a working model and it had to run for a year. This stopped the garbage which they were dealing with. Then it somehow became not accepting applications at all, until so many science breakthrough and things that were believed to be impossible became true, as well some near runners where produced in the magnet motor field, that would run for awhile and then stop. The eddy wave would build up heat and basically burn out the magnets. At least the is the theory.

A little history helps.

no recognizable source but gravity
Eh? If something moves down a gravitational potential it will gain in kinetic energy, sure... but you've still got to do work to start it off at the top, and it will still (possibly over many oscillations) unless it is a truly frictionless system, eventually lose that energy. At which point it will stop.
Running under gravity alone is not sufficient for perpetual motion.

You are not looking a repetitive actions with in a device which will repeat and build up kinetic energy. Thus it becomes perpetual. Don't confuse perpetual with spiritual theory. I have a Graduates degree in theology with the Orthodox. And gravity will always exist so if a device runs on gravity it is perpetual. Even the US patent office has now recognized the possibility of a perpetual motion device. But they won't allow a patent, without a working model.

What will stop any and all the designs working is the whole of physics.
What's to discuss?


Greetings Bored chemist

Here is what one of your founding fathers said

Quote
“We have no right to assume that any physical laws exist, or if they have existed up until now, that they will continue to exist in a similar manner in the future.”

Quote By Max Planck father of Quantum physics 1858 - 1947

Quote from: ukmicky on 16/11/2008 18:55:50
Perpetual motion in my mind is a device which will continue in motion without the aid of any additional energy from an outside source other than that which it was given at the time the device started to move. Which in theory is possible however to achieve it and prove itself it would need to be in a closed system in order to eliminating all outside influences.

Greetings ukmicky

Up to this point you are correct. You can put it in a glass case.

Quote

And as such a place could not be found or made on earth you;ve got no chance.

Put something in space far enough away from everything else and you could  spin something and expect it to continue spinning for ever

Now to this point we are approaching fantasy and the unpractical.

Quote
however on earth friction would cause to much of a loss of energy and any device would sooner or latter stop .

Wear and tear of materials has to be taken into consideration. For as long as the materials last the motion will remain perpetual.

Quote
Unless you are a pure genuis and have found a way to convert 100% of the heat and sound produced by friction back in motion. Or have developed some new form of new frictionless material. Or found a way to build an enclosure which prevents gravity ,heat or any form of energy being transferred from inside or out.

You missed overwhelming movement that overcomes all friction, until the material fails itself. Which is what it will be. The design for the movement is all that maters, for it can be rebuilt and allot more can be built and fictitious restrictions of impractical proof won't stop it. We have to keep our minds in the realm of reality and practicality.

 Here is what you want. A device that runs with No fuel, no sun, no wind, no water, no recognizable source but gravity. And like any other machine repairs may have to be done from time to time. But that will then be all what is needed. It will perpetuate its movement until something stops it.

Sorry sophiecentau but, you will have to wait, until the exposure time. I have to be careful, for I could inadvertently expose the breakthrough, and that would not be fair to those I work with as well. Thus I can not tell you how it is done at this time.

 But what we can do is post some designs and talk about what stop each design from working? Or I can post some designs or links that I have posted on other forums to talk how they can or cannot work as well.

The links might be interesting to you as well.

Just go ahead and make the thing and we unbelievers will all be proved wrong.
I will even offer to come and witness it (as long as you pay my fare if I spot the flaw).
Now there's an offer. And it's not a wager.

Now that sound fair enough. I just have to get over this pneumonia and get my work up to date, so I can build it and then get patent pending status, and I will let you know.

PS wear and tear excluded from flaw for that is a given.
