I BELIEVE I MAY HAVE FOUND A WAY TO PROVIDE A CONTINIOUS SUPPLY OF ENERGY FROM A PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINE THAT USES MAGNETS. COULD IT WORK?

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but the caps lock key on your keyboard is broken.

Well actually superconductors have no resistance against electrical current and magnetisum, so a superconductor will keep magnetic FOREVER! I have made a sketch of a perpetual motion device, I know there can't be one, but I'm stumped on how it can't work.

Can superconductors even exist at normal temperatures?
And how does not having a resistance against magnetism mean that it will stay magnetic forever? Can you cite something affirming this?
What's your idea for perpetual motion? Different ideas don't work for different reasons.

Well I didn't know how to word it but I'm pretty sure that it keeps it's magnetic field perpetually. Well it is basicly a large gear with a weight wedged between two of the teeth, and the weight is attached to two elastic bands on each side. The elastics are attached to a tower on each side of the gear, the gear is suspended by the magnetic field of a superconductor under it, using the messiner effect. You give it a spin and when the gear runs out of momentum the elastic bands are in such a way that they will give the gear an extra push, then when the gear runs out of momentum the elastics give it an extra push...
Yeah, he's the most famous of all the cranks. He's the one IIRC who successfully sued the USPTO to have his patent application reviewed, then refused to turn over the device for testing. [zz)] In any case, you can read about him in "Voodoo Science: The Road from Foolishness to Fraud" by Robert Park if you are interested.Originally posted by pelastration

I believe he uses magnets in his blackbox. Links to some QT-movies.
Yeah, I know. I built one too. Send me $30 and I'll send you the plans so you can build one of your own.Sorry to tell you dude, but there already has been a perpetual motion machine made. Do some research on the MEG prodject.
If the device worked as advertised, closing the loop would be a relatively simple thing.Now, the BEST verification to do is to convert the "apparent" power measured in useable power such as : light, heat, mechanical energy (in motors)... and also, of course, to close the loop... This has not yet been done today.
I'll do it for $19.95...CanadianOriginally posted by russ_watters

Yes, I can see how something like Mk's idea for an ever-spinning pinwheel would make trillions of dollars, which the government could never allow. They'd probabally launch him into the sun and use his machine to do all sorts of fun pinwheel related things.Originally posted by Stryker
Oh... And if you were able to make it, the government would either buy it from you, or kill you. There is too much money at stake with something like that.
Yes, its been done (though the energy isn't kinetic).Originally posted by Stryker
Do you think that it would be possible to convert the kenetic energy of a photon into mechanical energy?
The Universe will end, though. All things do eventualy...Originally posted by Mr. Robin Parsons
The only thing that I know of, (that qualitfies as "perpetual motion") is the Universe, itself, 13.5 Billion years old, and Still Going Strong!

Since light doesn't have mass, you wouldn't really call its energy "kinetic." Anyway, there is speculation that you could use the light from the sun to power spacecraft with "solar sails."Originally posted by Stryker
Could you give me an example, or something of the sort. Also, what would the kind of energy be? Constantly traveling at the highest possible velocity, I've always just seen that as kenetic matter. And we would be potential matter. Whatever, I don't know anything.
Operative word is "motion", can you prove that in what you call "The End" there is 'stillness' rather then continuing motion?Originally posted by BOBwatches2muchtv

Perpetual motion refers to a hypothetical machine that can continue to operate indefinitely without any external energy source. This means it can produce more energy than it consumes, leading to an endless supply of energy.
According to the laws of thermodynamics, perpetual motion is not possible. The first law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted. The second law states that in any energy conversion, some energy is always lost as heat. Therefore, a machine cannot produce more energy than it consumes.
A magnetic machine is a type of perpetual motion machine that uses the force of magnets to generate motion and produce energy. The idea behind this concept is that the repelling and attracting forces of magnets can be harnessed to create a continuous movement.
No, there is no evidence of a successful perpetual motion machine. Many inventors and scientists have attempted to create such a machine, but all have failed due to the laws of thermodynamics. Some machines have shown continuous motion, but they eventually stop due to external factors such as friction and air resistance.
Perpetual motion has been a subject of fascination for centuries, and many people continue to believe in the possibility of creating a machine that can produce endless energy. Some may be misled by false claims and misinformation, while others may simply hold onto the hope of finding a solution to our energy needs. However, the laws of thermodynamics remain a fundamental obstacle to the existence of a perpetual motion machine.
