Free Energy - Perpetual Motion Machines (pt 1)

a reply to: operayt

I think you misunderstood what a perpetual motion machine/device is supposed to be.

It's a machine/device that works indefinitely.

That video uses wood and magnets.

A neodymium magnet will lose roughly 1% of its flux every 100 years. But it will more likely physically degrade before it ran out of charge.

Wood corrodes over time. Also, it would likely end up burning due to friction.

You said it yourself....

AND YES, IT IS A PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINE. Until the parts break down.

So, not quite a perpetual motion machine/device, is it?

Fascinating demo there but trickery can not be ruled out solely based on a short youtube video and it wouldn't be the first time either

Perpetual motion is not completely impossible (as my physics professor used to say) until you add the word 'machine' to it as 'machine' implies energy can be extracted from the perpetual device to drive external processes without depleting the energy reserve of the perpetual device at all which is impossible (external energy source is required). Energy removed must be replenished or the device will eventually come to a standstill.

You must be really new to the perpetual motion business.

Those youtube "perpetual motion" machines are incredibly easy to fake. Often a slight stream of air directed towards the disk/wheel is enough to make it look like perpetual motion.

There are other more advanced methods like hidden batteries or wireless power transfer.

utter bollox

lets see one of these with the tube exposed along its enture length - the key to the hoax = the " supporting block "

ram pumps are a toy - thier efficiency is pathetic - if you really want to use one mass of water to pump another mass of water - use a turbine powered by mass one fallling a viven distance to drive an impellor pump lifting mass 2 the second distance

hint - mass one will always be greater than mass 2

but this arrangement will be a dammed sight more efficient than ram pumps

I'm sorry that you feel bad for being cut down. But even if the other commenters could have phrased their criticisms better (which I think they could have), the problem lies with you as well. They instantly spotted the flaws in your design (as did I), but you never seemed to consider the possibility that they were right and you were wrong and the flaws were actually there. It's a two way street, if you want constructive criticism, you need to be able to accept it, regardless of how it might sound.

nice video there mate
