I remember being sucked into that world. I was facinated by the idea of making a motor out of just magnets. They seem practically magical. It wasn't until I was obsessed over a way to generate power with gravity that I learned fully why they types of systems could never work. Things like gravity or the magnetic field from a permanent magnet are constant. That is all. Something that is constant doesn't change. We may not know exactly why magnets attract or how gravity works, but we do know they are constants. An apple falling to the ground or two magnets attracting each other are simply imbalanced systems seeking equalibrium. Electric motors work because of that sought after equilibrium. They only continue to work though, because the electricity put into the system constantly prevents the magnets from attaining equalibrium. I learned, the important part of a generator or motor isn't the forces at play as much as preventing equalibrium from being attained in the system. At first, I was confused about things like Hydroelectric dams. On first glance, they are gravity generators. So, I thought they were an example of how gravity generates power. It doesn't though. Ya, gravity pulls the water down through the generators, but the real power comes from the thing preventing equalibrium, prevents the water from staying at the bottom in the ocean. The sun. It introduces massive amounts of heat into the system, unbalancing it by causing the water to rise as vapor. So, in reality, hydroelectric dams end up being solar power generation. Still, there is something so magical about magnets.

A machine that is _not_ a perpetuum mobile, but also doesn't need to be fueled manually, is good enough. Clocks that are wound up exclusively by barometric pressure has existed since the 17th century. And today, the Swiss company Jaeger-Culture manufactures a modern variant of a perpetual clock under the trademark "Atmos". This clock is wound up by changes of temperature and air pressure, which are even in well-climatized rooms rooms sufficient to keep it running.

The story I was told, is that as microscopes were improved over the years. They became powerful enough to see grains of pollen. What was noticed is that these tiny pollen grains if suspended in water they would perpetually move.. This was shown to Albert Einstein. Einstein said the pollen was being perpetually moved by the movement of the water molecules. From this observation Einstein went on to calculate the size of the water molecule. This is not going to propel your car down the road but is in fact perpetual motion.. Ps don’t shoot the messenger!! Thank you for all the videos ..

This is probably based on the same principle of something I've recently seen: Dr. Gerald Pollack researches the properties of water and has 'discovered' what he calls Exclusion Zone water... it has something to do with the charge of the water molecules and he found that when you place a very narrow tube made of hydrophilic material in water, the water molecules will perpetually pass through the tube. Maybe the pollen you mentioned is hydrophilic and causing the same phenomenon? Dr Pollack has done a couple Ted Talks that might be worth watching!

You could view Mass as a perpetual motion machine. Or the Sun (again mass driven) gives out "free" energy. And at its end of life it recycles by way of a Nova! Even the humble windmill could be viewed as an intermittent perpetual motion machine ....... or a waterwheel! If you look at Geothermal, it too can be classed as "perpetual" It all depends on your definition. Most are not worried about infinitely perpetual, but "can I get something for nothing out of it?" If you are talking in terms of "breaking" physics ...... you are not likely to succeed (no place for the battery) but if you are asking if there are machines that get Something for Nothing then they do exist, in plain sight!

[@waynetravis6951]

Hello Robert, Enjoyed your video - well "video's" since I discovered you last year. Let me make a correction to your content - "Work" creation was discovered in 2008 and first machine built and demonstrated in 2010 - its principal of operation "reduced" the mass "required" to do a specific work - that reduction of mass resulted in a reduction of input cost - thus work available was greater than work provided. By 2019, a total of seven methods were tested to provide excess work, the laws of thermal dynamics had never been presented with a method of "input reduction", and it took several years for those studying it to realize the difference between "Creating energy vs Causing work generation". Eventually you will see it in a university paper - but for now - the limited scope of the conclusions of thermal dynamics results in very limited research on the topic. If you want to know more - just ask. Sincerely Wayne

We need to stop looking at it in as perpetual motion but look it in a way that we can extract more energy then we put in ie using one barrel of oil to extract 50 barrels from the ground. Maybe using a way to extract hydrogen from water which you have done through electrolysis but trying to unlock it through a frequency that might work using ac current. There may be some frequency that just unlocks it at a small amount of current get more energy then what you used, like a pump to pump oil out the ground. Anyway It is food for thought even if it doesn't work but I hope to make a setup one day to be able to experiment it and I hope soon as it has been in my head for many years or you try if you want to go down there?

I saw a video snip of a German company using a large, vertical, conveyor bucket machine, in a water tank that has air pumped out the bottom to lift these buckets. They run a large air compressor for this. They claim a 8kW input to get a 52kW output. I'm no scientist but logic tells me it takes the same amount or more of energy to push air into a water column and its great pressure, than the lift factor of the air bubbles. But people keep trying lol

[@timothyjohnson1511]

Investigate the effect of buoyancy with decreasing depth. As the bubble rises it expands and the greater volume displaces more water, increasing the upward force. It really worked, but the slavemasters do not want it. Well, maybe now that they are freezing in the dark. Oh, wait, that is just the slaves.

[@MichaelCarouthGutenTag]

I've seen that and I have had a solution several years. Put an HHO generator at the bottom of the water tank. Electricity creates oxygen and hydrogen, which can be used together or separately to bring up the underwater wheel. Also the deeper the tank and larger the wheel the more efficient it becomes, because the air never loses potential for going up. Also the HHO Gas can be used at the end of the process when it goes to the top of the water. It can be burned for heat and or electricity.

Yes, I remember the one you are thinking of. They had a 10 meter tall tower of water with a conveyor belt of air bells which would get injected with compressed air at the bottom of their range of travel. As the bell of air rose, and the water pressure lessened, the volume of air in the bell would increase, thus increasing the upward force of the bell upon the belt upon which it was attached. The belt contained about twenty such bells. At any given time half were rising, and the other half were going down after having dumped their air, which meant they sank with the weight of steel in water with no air. A belt driven generator was placed at the top of the tower which generated electricity and compressed air to be injected at the bottom. They performed public demonstrations, and offered units for sale. They had large commercial versions, and small home sized versions, each sold via different sales channels. They offered turnkey 100 MW systems composed of dozens of towers.

You should give your scrutiny to William Skinner's 1939 gravity device. It is not a closed loop. It does require a small input to function. As load increases, the influence of gravity also increases. I have had six engineers look at it and they all agreed that they could not understand how it could not work. Skinner spent 30 years developing the device. It is complex and its function is difficult to fully understand, but, it is brilliant and works on a very simple principal. At the end of the day, it is an array of hybrid pendulum flywheels.

[@brown55061]

Here's the thing though, we don't need 100% free energy. Here's my idea to debunk.... we've seen these magnetic perpetual rotating wheels using magnets. It works for a while and then eventually slows down. And when you apply a field to do "work" it slows much faster. But we don't need the power to be continually applied like on a generator. We just need a clutch system that puts a pulse in on a timer to keep the generator spinning. It's not free energy but it could be made more efficient where rotating motors don't require a full time draw to spin but just that pulse on a timer that keeps it spinning so you're just reducing the amount of energy required to keep a generator on output. It seems plausible to me but I haven't seen anyone try it. We just need to make things massively more efficient, not free.

[@ColinWatters]

Its interesting to read the wikipedia article on "conservative forces". One example being gravity. This basically says if something moves around an arbitrary shape path and returns to its starting point the net work done by the force is zero. Eg If you roll a ball down hill it gains energy, but it takes the same energy to lift it back up to its starting point. The interesting bit is that the shape of the path doesnt matter, if it ever returns to the same position twice then no work is done. This effectively rules out over ballanced wheels as they all return to the same point once per revolution regardless of their design. The force between two magnets is also an example so this rules out so called magnet motors because they also return to the starting position once per revolution. It rules out any rotating perpetual motion machine that uses gravity or magnetisim.

And with overbalanced wheel systems etc, they can never work because any weights or fluids must always go from the very top to the very bottom, cyclicly, ie the SAME vertical distance travelled and the amount of energy needed to lift a weight X vertical distance is the same as the energy released when falling X distance.

Any dipole (electric or magnetic) perpetually creates electromagnetic perturbations in the ether. This is real, observable outflow of real energy. That energy had to come from somewhere. It did not come from the creation of the dipole, since the magnitude is much too small. That out flowing energy was previously absorbed from the ether as a property of the dipole. Yes, there is an ether. Michelson and Morley never pointed their interferometer vertically with respect to the surface of the earth. See Robert Distinti for details. Opposites attract. Opposite electric charges and magnetic poles attract. So, a space charge of opposite polarity surrounds any polarity. This unobservable space charge is absorbed and is the source of the observable energy field expressed by the dipole in the form of electromagnetic field surrounding the dipole.

"Do Perpetual Motion Machines Work?" The short answer is NO - The long answer is that Self-Contained, Closed-Loop Systems cannot be made to run under their own power. A motor cannot run a generator that will in turn run the same motor. A closed system cannot do work and maintain its own operation due to losses in the system. HOWEVER - Can machines be made to produce a large amount of work relative to the energy that YOU input into the system? The answer to this is YES. Provided that the energy you input is used to move a larger amount of energy existing in the environment. No energy is created or destroyed, simply MOVED (and/or concentrated) from one place to another, creating a difference in energy potential that can then be harnessed to do work. So far, the only form of energy that I am aware of that we can move or concentrate in this fashion is HEAT - We have built heat-pumps that can move 10, 20, or even 30 times more heat than we input in the form of electricity. If we can then transfer this heat to a heat-engine and a generator, we could theoretically extract up to 40% of that concentrated heat in the form of electricity.

Link to an image or design drawing ?? Pretty sure it will not work but always interested in seeing the designs.

[@ColinWatters]

I've seen that idea several times before. Search youtube for bouyancy engine. Typically they have a chain of bouys that enter a tank of water at the bottom, rise to the top and fall back down outside the tank. The problem is the energy required to push open the valve that allows the bouts to enter at the bottom is greater than the energy gained rising up.

[@g-funk484]

@@ColinWatters i am aware of that design with the issue being the ball entering the water at the bottom, my idea has a ball fall onto a counter weight to set a flap up and then free fall into water with a ramp under to push it over as it slightly sinks then starts to rebound out of the water it ends up in a clear tube that sticks out of the water that has been filled already with water and has at least 5 small flaps inside that the ball will open as it raises inside the tube, each flap will close automatic as they sink, the flaps stop water spilling out so that way the top of the tube can be open, its like the tooth pic experiment inside a water column, this way you can raise the ball as high as you want, its really hard to explain but its very simple, last when the ball reaches the top of the clear water tube it hits a leaver and there will be a mesh flap that pushes the ball out using that counter weight from the beginning releasing the energy that the ball put into it and then it will start all over again as the ball falls out and resets the counter weight on the way down before it falls again into the water, i have thought about this idea for a very long time and i can not find a reason for it not to work, if i can show you my design im sure you would agree it does not break any physics and each part of my design is very simple and plausible, i am yet to see anyone that has even drawn up this design

[@ColinWatters]

@@g-funk484 I'm afraid I only followed about half of that. I refer you to the wikipedia page on "conservative forces" in short it means if your machine ever returns to the same position twice then gravity will do no work on it. Since bouyancy is also caused by gravity the same will apply.

[@g-funk484]

@@ColinWatters lol yeh its hard to explain my idea and i know what you mean if my idea works i would be the 1st person to have a ball move constantly which i doubt is possible but i really cant see why it wouldn't work, i do not see any part of it having an issue thats what gets me, usually i can always find an issue with my or other peoples designs but this one has stumped me, i will send you a link to where i got the idea partly from so at least understand better

[@richardsandwell2285]

If we were to make a free energy machine it could comply with the laws of science if you could build a machine which without any external energy inputs would produce energy whilst reducing the temperature of the air around it , that would be using the heat in the air to produce either movement, electricity or both.

[@jamest.5001]

I believe the only thing we will likely 'discover' . Anytime soon , would be a higher efficiency device, possibly generator. Being above 99% efficient, but below 100.1%. There could possibly be devices that work with little input, using gravity to help it along, or possibly magnets , I have seen magnet motors nearly make 360°, then stall . Maybe something similar can be used to boost the efficiency? Who knows, thing is, would we believe it if someone did make such a discovery??

[@tedrice1026]

I agree. The search is useful if it can result in extremely high efficiency machines that use much less energy than present ones.

[@MattQrillz]

Im dumb, so feel free to criticise lol. With the ball bearing and magnet setup, could the decline be fitted with some type of other magnets and the bearing magnetised, so it generates a current as it passes? Obviously nowhere as simple as that, but is there anything along those lines?

[@crudereviews7221]

Any current generated from the motion of the ball will cause the ball to slow down (or accelerate less) - consider an electric generator / dynamo, which is typically quite tough to turn due to the magnetic forces within it. Overcoming those forces is part of the process of turning kinetic energy into electric energy. That's why those old dynamo lights on bikes made it harder to pedal your bike (Simpsons even made a joke about this way back when). Any electrical energy generated by the motion of the ball will, hence, cause the ball to slow down by at least as much as that same electrical energy could speed the ball back up (assuming an impossible 100% efficiency of both the electric generator and the electric accelerator).

[@MattQrillz]

@crudereviews7221 I read 15 words of your reply and had a instant...."f*ckin duhhhh.." moment to myself. 🤦‍♂️ Tried to solve a puzzle without having all the pieces. This is why we have refresher courses for construction tickets lol Appreciate the reply, sir, and Hope the new year treats you well 🫡

[@dosomething7930]

If energy cant be created or destroyed then where is it located?

[@julianfelipe4943]

All the energy in the universe is located in the Dirac Sea. What we call matter is perturbations of the ether.

[@andrewbenson9075]

I truly agree that perpetual motion is not possible, but, at least I feel, The ultimate prize is not perpetual motion, but really long lasting motion. Best examples are the Oxford Electric Bell, and Atmos clocks. I think people spend too much time demonizing the pursuit of really long lasting motion by calling it " perpetual motion".

The entire universe operates on the principle of perpetual motion.

[@nikola.tesla.r.and.d.centre]

I'd like to discuss a real machine that isn't perpetual motion. It does however harness a flow of naturally occurring energy in the environment that isn't being harnessed anywhere near as much as it should be. Many of your videos are leaning towards it. I've spent 14 years working on this so far. Myself and my team of engineers, how can we get in touch with you?

[@JaenEngineering]

I had an idea of using a magnetic bearing to suspend a flywheel mass in a vacuum. With no contact in the bearings theres no friction, and with no air there's no drag, so in theory if you could spin up the flywheel there'd be no way for it to lose energy. It wouldn't be of any use, as you can extract energy from it but it should in theory spin perpetually.

[@55Ramius]

Really only guessing here but I think it would spin a very long time, just not for years. I think there would be a small amount of drag on the ferris material the magnet is acting on or any stray magnetic fields, however small, otherwise it would not float in the first place.

[@ColinWatters]

Hard to eliminate all eddy currents (caused by metal moving in the magnetic field of the bearing). In theory it also radiates gravitational waves but they would be negligible.

[@digger105337]

The Earth and the people who live on it are the closest thing to Perpetual we'll ever see. But even the Earth has a hidden battery. 🌞

[@MichaelCarouthGutenTag]

How about you make an highly efficient machine? Possibly in the 90% range. Not a heater, something that moves. Another challenge is to make a list of all possible "forces" that are practically available to use for a "highly efficient machine", such as Capillary Action, Magnesium, Gravity, etc. Then list various free possible inputs such as wind, sun heat, shade cold, tidal, etc. Also put together some machines that for all intents and purposes could be considered "Perpetual". Hopefully with enough excess energy to harness.

[@401ksolar]

So extrapolating from the "theory of thermodynamics" by erecting windmills all over, will eventually stop the rotation of the earth because we are unable to see the n-particles that bombard the Earth's dynamo core. (Which drives the planet's weather vortices)

[@carpballet]

“Moving perpetually happens all the time” Oh, really?

[@bentuffin6357]

Haha talking about energy walking through a original power station

[@clinturbanek6794]

The thing that made it sink in for me is this. Even if someone could make a perpetual motion machine it would be at best a novelty, you would lose it the second you put a load on it and made it do work.

[@beladn710]

Thank you Mr Murray for your sense of pedagogy, but how can we explain the rotation of satellites around the planets in a regular and perpetual manner? I don't think that the non-existence of friction is the only reason and what is extraordinary is the similarity with the rotation of electrons around the nucleus, the laws of thermodynamics would be more judiciously limited to the world of gravity ? and I think that molecules work only because they weigh nothing.

[@mfr58]

If matter is formed and animated by consciousness, which many believe, then perpetual motion is a condition enabled by extending consciousness to allow it. Indeed consciousness itself could be termed perpetual, though it's not a machine and not subject to the constraints of time. This is obviously not a notion permitted by materialists......

[@mooneym.3642]

The earth and moon are in perpetual motion. All the electrons in every atom too. But I agree that for us there is no perpetual motion machine.

[@dvhx]

I use potential energy to explain why perpetual motion machines cannot work. Apple doesn't fall down from tree because of mysterious gravity, it falls down to lower it's potential energy. Spring under tension springs back to lowers it's potential energy. Two magnets don't repel each other because of the magnetic force, they repel each other to lower their potential energy. Every single natural movement is to lower the potential energy. When you have perpetual motion machine in order to move forever, it has to be circular. After some time, it has to return to it's original position and start over. You can calculate potential energy at any given moment of it's operation, it's just simple calculation of all forces and distances. But when perpetual motion machine returns to it's original position, it will have the original potential energy as it had in the beginning. If you compare two points in time where the potential energy was the same, there will be no movement. Things only move to lower it's potential energy. Things don't move to have the same potential energy as when they started. You may have some initial movement, that's when the machine lowers it's potential energy, but then, in order to return to the beginning and start new cycle, it has to raise the potential energy and things in nature don't want to raise their energy, so the machine will simply not move to the starting point and it will be stuck in some local minimal energy point.

My lithium batteries are rated to last 219 years if recharged everyday. 2024 should be my year! Lol, you could look at my device for 100 years and never figure it out, never understand what your looking at. For nearly free too, I can divide by 0, I made the formula.

[@55Ramius]

I have always thought Perpetual Motion Machines could not be made but it does not stop me from being interested in whatever someone makes. I would think that some of these attempts can become helpers in prolonging an action beyond not having it in the system. Then it would be of use but perhaps , too little of use or we would see them everywhere. Just not perpetual.
