Machines Motion Perpetual motion

In summary, a perpetual motion machine is a hypothetical device that operates indefinitely without any external energy input, but it is highly unlikely to exist due to the laws of thermodynamics. Perpetual motion, on the other hand, refers to the motion of an object that continues indefinitely without any external force acting upon it. Although many people claim to have invented a perpetual motion machine, these claims are usually found to be based on faulty principles or designs. No perpetual motion machine has ever been successfully created, and any machine that claims to be one is either a hoax or a misunderstanding of the concept. Despite this, some people still believe in the possibility of a perpetual motion machine, but the scientific community widely agrees that it is not possible.

Discussion of perpetual motion/free energy schemes is not permitted on PF. Please see the list of "Closed Topics" in the https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=5374"--this is one of them.

Related to Can Anyone Explain These Perpetual Motion Videos?

1. Can a perpetual motion machine really exist?

It is highly unlikely that a perpetual motion machine can truly exist. The laws of thermodynamics state that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another. Therefore, a machine that produces unlimited energy without any external input is not possible.

2. What is the difference between a perpetual motion machine and perpetual motion?

A perpetual motion machine is a hypothetical device that continues to operate indefinitely without any external energy input. Perpetual motion, on the other hand, refers to the motion of an object that continues indefinitely without any external force acting upon it.

3. Why do some people claim to have invented a perpetual motion machine?

Many people claim to have invented a perpetual motion machine because it is a popular and intriguing concept. However, upon closer examination, most of these claims are found to be based on faulty principles or flawed designs that do not actually produce perpetual motion.

4. Has a perpetual motion machine ever been successfully created?

No, a perpetual motion machine has never been successfully created. Many attempts have been made throughout history, but all have been proven to be impossible according to the laws of thermodynamics. Any machine that claims to be a perpetual motion machine is either a hoax or a misunderstanding of the concept.

5. Why do some people still believe in the possibility of a perpetual motion machine?

Some people still believe in the possibility of a perpetual motion machine because it is a fascinating and alluring idea. They may also be misled by false claims and misinformation. However, the scientific community widely agrees that a true perpetual motion machine is not possible.
