They tried to avoid saying the word 'perpetual', but basically that is what their patent applications usually amounted to. Reverse-entropic devices.... for example, trying to extract usable energy from johnson noise, and stuff like that. There were inventions that passed his desk that did produce energy... just not very much, and most of the inventors didn't understand physics well enough to know where the energy was actually coming from... but thought they had something wonderful when what they really had was a really inefficient solar panel or thermal gradient device. -Matt

[@Merennulli]

​@Adam George The universe is only estimated to be 13.8 billion years old, so we're still "near the very beginning of infinity". Keep in mind that you can only exist to observe the universe during the time period during which it has low enough entropy to support your existence (ie, relatively close to the beginning). But as for the rest of what you said, no, motion doesn't "stop". Energy will always exist in the universe, it will simply be too spread out to interact with other energy after a while. It will still exhibit quantum behavior and experience changes in its trajectory that keep it from being "perpetual motion", but some form of motion will always exist.

[@Yawyna124]

@@seemlyme I'm not entirely certain how you hope to assemble this. Or why you think this would work indefinitely. It is possible to make the float of a fill valve work in reverse, so to speak, that it closes up a valve the lower the fill line gets. But then once you get past that it becomes dubious. Firstly, this is the wrong type of valve for such a process as, the second the moment the inverted fill valve whose valve is shut off by the float as the water level lowers as opposed to rises, the bladder will begin to fill again. It would be better to simply let the pressure between the gravity-fed water tank and the pressure within the bladder equalize, and then seal it off with a valve that isn't dependent on the level of the water, or seal off the bladder at some semi-arbitrary point prior to the bladder bursting with an independent valve. But then we get the issue of attempting to spray the water back into the tank. As the bladder begins to drain, the pressure on the water will shrink and any free-jetted water will have a weaker and weaker stream until it can no longer be fed back into the tank. "The manual actions should be automated and repeated then perpetual motion" As the machine you've proposed doesn't have any way to automate them, you will need to automate them from an outside source which is energy loss. Additionally, this machine is what this video described as a "type 3 perpetual motion device" where it can theoretically feed itself indefinitely, but does no work outside of that. The water being sprayed through the air or the water being fed through to the bladder would need to interact with an outside system in order for it to do work. The failings of your proposal are: 1) Improper valve usage 2) dependence on consistent pressure in a variable pressure system 3) It is a perpetual motion machine that does no work besides to feed itself. 4) It cannot even feed itself.

[@AsmodeusDHare]

I thought I had created something that could generate energy. But years later after my prototype got smashed at the school fair, I looked into it and realized that the excess coil of wire was using heat from the sun where I had set up to create more energy like a solar panel could. i was so excited for a long time after busting a few bulbs thorugh excess energy generation.

@@misaelolvera2996 Nobody has made such a machine, because they're mathematically impossible. Magnets don't have power. They do not release energy. You can't run anything on them, because they are not power sources. Think about magnets like springs. The spring can push on something, but only if you compress the spring first. So the energy you get out of the spring is just the energy you put in when you compressed it, minus some losses. It's exactly the same with magnets. There is no arrangement of permanent magnets that provides a sustained net force, just like there's no way to arrange springs so that they'll continually accelerate a wheel. The reason electric motors work is because they move the field itself. There is absolutely no way to make permanent magnets do what electric motors do, because their fields are static. And once the device has reached its minimum energy state, it will simply stop. And the magnets will make you stop faster, because they'll induce eddy currents as the moving magnetic fields pass through conductors, sapping energy from the system and dissipating it as heat. Seriously. Trust the physicists on this one. The whole "make stuff spin forever with magnet power" is bullshit.

Then cable came around, and I assume they had more freedom to challenge their audience, so while I was a young man, I remember learning new stuff. Even though I spent most of my life at a school, I learned. Now as an adult, who spent endless hours as a teenager watching physics specials and nature documentaries, I'm still being taught. I've learned from what they taught me, and now they're teaching me something else. Like they're keeping track of what I know. That's what I mean by it feels personal. They're SO SO SO good at their job, bless them.

@@seemlyme That won't work. From what I can understand from your wall of text, we have a tank. There's a small hole in it connected to a balloon, and a valve (1) that can be closed between the tank and the balloon. There's a small nozzle in the balloon that also has a valve (2) that can be closed. Your plan is to open valve 1 to push water from the tank into the balloon, close 1, and open 2, and let the water out, which you think will be above the level of water of the tank (this doesn't happen). Initially, there's a lot of water in the tank and no water in the balloon. When 1 is opened, some water flows into B until the pressure of the water in the tank (at the point of the hole) and balloon is equal, then the flow stops, even without closing 1. This means 1 is actually useless, and does nothing, and is only the start of problems with your system. Ignoring this for a while, let's close 1 and open 2. Now the balloon discharges its water upwards , and you think it will be above the level of water of the tank, but remember that the water in the balloon, when filled, *is at the same pressure as the water in the tank at the hole* , since it's just free flow into the balloon. So initially, this water will rise just as high as the level of water in the tank, and then it won't even rise as high as the pressure of the balloon drops. Which means, even the balloon and the nozzle is useless. You mentioned something about the balloon storing elastic potential energy, but elastic potential energy stores just as much energy as that's put in. In the end, it all comes to conservation of energy: A ball bounces no higher than the place it was dropped from.

[@petejohnston5880]

I invented a perpetual motion machine when I was a kid. It goes as follows. Get a hose and form it into a circular loop so that the two ends join. Half fill this loop with a magnetic liquid and mount the loop so that it is upright (like a big wheel). Also inside the hose place a small hollow ball so that it floats on the liquid on the left side. Now place a large permanent magnet near the loop on it's left so that the liquid is pulled towards it and now only fills the left side of the loop. This will take the ball to the top of the loop which will fall down inside the hose on the right side (with no liquid). When it reaches the bottom inertia will make it enter the liquid at the bottom and once inside it will float up to the top through the liquid. Then when at the top it will continue to move to the right (the empty side) and will then fall down again, continuing forever. I know it doesn't work, but can you see why?

[@davelowets]

Sure. The ball would NEVER penetrate the liquid hard enough to start rising through it on the left side, it would simply stop at the bottom. Gravity would make certain of that.

[@petejohnston5880]

@@davelowets Almost right. You could have enough enertia to penetrate the liquid, but once inside the liquid the flotation action is pushing the ball to the right, not up (as the magnet is on the left and displacement forces are right pushing), so the ball will be pushed straight out again, and gravity will help it stop as well. So even though it could enter the material it would end up sitting at the bottom of the tube just outside the liquid.

[@davelowets]

@@petejohnston5880 If the ball is non-magnetic, the magnet and the "magnetic liquid" would have zero effect on what the ball does. It would simply be gravity overcoming the buoyancy of the ball at that point, and preventing it from completing the cycle.

@@davelowets The ball is non magnetic but if it's in the liquid and the liquid is being pulled to the left by the magnet, then the ball is being pushed to the right (to allow the liquid to fill it's space).

Sure, it doesn’t achieve perpetual motion, but it DOES fulfill an even more important matter: producing usable energy in the (thus far) most eco-friendly manner possible.

The most that you can hope for is a storage device to average out energy demands, but it will never be capable of anything but less total energy out than in.

[@ronfarrar3001]

It's like scraping the idea that something that works consistently for a few billion years isn't perpetual

[@outputcoupler7819]

No. When people say perpetual motion isn't possible, the takeaway isn't "okay so we can still make free energy just not for a literally infinite amount of time." It's that you can't make free energy at all. The people who think perpetual motion is a real thing seem to envision some system like a spinning disc where if you just eliminated all sources of drag, it would spin forever and thus perpetual motion is achieved and science is wrong and free energy is possible. But because we can't _quite_ eliminate all the drag, instead of spinning forever, it'll just spin for , and we'll _only_ get free energy for that long. This is firmly in fractal wrongness territory, where you are so wrong at every step in your deduction, that even if you weren't wrong, you'd still be wrong. No matter how far you zoom in, all you find is more wrongness. First, that's not what perpetual motion means, except in the colloquial sense. And you can't run a generator on colloquialisms, so we're going to have to introduce you to what perpetual motion actually means. Perpetual motion is more accurately described as "overunity," or a closed thermodynamic system having an efficiency greater than 1. So even if I let you have your perfect spinning wheel that has literally no losses and will spin forever, that's not actually a perpetual motion machine, because its efficiency is exactly 1, and 1 is not greater than 1. Second, that's not how power generation works. Something that just spins freely for a really long time, or even forever, is not capable of generating power beyond releasing whatever kinetic energy is stored in it. Again, let's grant you a perfect spinning disc with no losses. Now let's say you connect it to a generator to produce power. Your disc can spin forever, so it can generate power forever, right? WRONG! The generator IS a loss you will impose on the wheel! Do you think the generator just spins freely with no resistance and produces power? Like, if it takes an hour for a wheel to spin down on its own, you could run a generator at full output for an hour on that same wheel? Really? This is the same sort of wrong thinking about energy and power that makes people think they can produce hydrogen with their car's alternator, then burn that hydrogen in their engine to get more power than they started with. It's just a fundamental misunderstanding of physics on every single level. If you think I'm wrong, then let me ask you a question. Do you think you can put a windmill on an airplane that can power that airplane, then go about flying without burning fuel and just using the wind power? It's fundamentally the same idea. If you think the answer is yes, you can...maybe think harder. And if you think not, think about why, and then think for a while about how the system is just the idea of a perpetual motion machine dressed up a little bit. And now slap yourself on the forehead and say "D'oh, of course this is impossible! The energy has to come from somewhere!" And now you can live your life free of the perpetual motion delusion.

When i was a kid, playing with legos, i noticed the big gear makes the small gear go fast, so i had the bright idea of putting a big gear on the small one to feed back to the first big gear. I thought wow! That will go really fast! I was disappoint.

[@davelowets]

Even as a kid, I knew a perpetual motion machine was impossible. I thought about it for a few seconds once, realized it was impossible, and then was bummed about it for the rest of my childhood. I quickly realized that everything has an end. Even our universe. That was a battle for me as a very young kid, until I was an adult.

We don’t need perpetual motion machines. We already have the universe which will continue to create energy long after we are gone. We just need better ways to harvest it.

The universe does not create or destroy energy, it's already all there. Just, mostly, very dispersed.

[@guytech7310]

@@KimStennabbCaesar While on a grand scale your statement is partially correct, but not really accurate. since stars convert the potential energy in light elements into kinetic energy via fusion. I believe the SuperFluffy poster was referring to creation kinetic energy. If you subscribe to the Big Bang Theory (BBT) than your statement is also false since everything in the universe originated from a singularity. Energy & mass was created from nothing & thus would violate the laws of thermal dynamics (LTD). If you don't believe in the BBT, it would also violate thermal dynamics since the universe is full of mass & kinetic energy. The fact that the Universe has mass and expanding disproves, LTD at cosmic time scale.

Guy Tech something from nothing hhahaa that's funny, I'd imagine it's like this we can't seem to get past something in the atmosphere, the Bible refers to it as the firmament, Hillary Clinton made a statement that "thanks to your tax dollars we put a million cracks in the glass dome" thay were firing nukes up and trying to bust a hole in it but that's neither here nor there. If the powers that shouldn't be were for the good we would be able to harness all the free energy that we needed plus much more and as far as the BBT big bang theory something from nothing is to confuse the people on how & who is responsible for the creation of the land we walk on & humanity as we know it. Something from nothing hhahaa that one always makes me laugh.

Perpetual motion does, in fact, exist: in the perpetual notion that perpetual motion exists.

[@randystegemann9990]

The only perpetual thing in the world is ignorance and scammers trying to expliot that.

[@MikeRosoftJH]

I think that the real reason why the magnet-and-ramp device wouldn't work is different: a magnet is not a source of energy. If the device were able to make a full cycle with a magnet, it would also be able to make a full cycle without one. Adding a magnet does nothing but changing the graph of potential energy. In a carefully designed device the point of maximum potential energy might be at the start of the ramp, just like without a magnet the point of maximum potential energy is at the top. Putting a ball there would allow it to make a full cycle - but only if there were no friction or other dissipative forces. And this is the real dealbreaker with perpetual motion (together with the law of conservation of energy), not technical details like "the magnet would attract the ball to itself over the gap".

[@2019inuyasha]

some types of magnets are created by introducing certain metals to 10k volts of electricity...this means that energy was in fact put into the magnet... so perhaps there is some way to get a portion of that energy back

[@ryanwilson5936]

@@Broxalax Dude. A simple Google search for what a “machine” is totally debunks your statements. Machines are not dictated by “man-made” structures. You’re body is a machine. This planet is a machine. This galaxy is a machine. This universe is a machine. Every expanding, ever condensing. Like a breath. The only thing hindering its performance is time. Sometimes the machine runs fast. Sometimes the machine runs slow. But it’s always running. And, it’s always running along side several other universes that also always running. The real question is what machine are all of these universes powering? Who knows… If energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred, then isn’t the mere existence of energy itself it’s own perpetual motion machine? The answer is yes and it powers everything that has or ever will have existed. The energy supplying devices we have IS us tapping into the perpetual energy that is our universe. The energy needed to create our existence had to come from somewhere. Meaning, it was transferred. Meaning, it was created through the perpetual energy that is energy itself. Meaning, Robby Horse is correct. We’ve already created our version of perpetual energy. It’s called putting a paddle wheel in a river. And when that river stops flowing, we find a different one. Modernity produces different technology but it’s all the same process. Transferring energy. Our planet is always producing energy. Of course, perpetuity can only be determined by the lifetime of the beings using that energy. Perpetual energy on our scale may imply a never ending source of power but it doesn’t imply that it has to be constant. There’s nothing saying that we can’t install a hypothetical “on/off” switch for that never ending source of energy. On our planet, our perpetual energy machine goes by “The Sun”. A source of energy that will literally be around for earths “forever”. All we have to do is figure out how to make an “on/off” switch for that never ending supply of energy. We’re looking at the perpetual motion machine thing all wrong. Earth already has one. The sun. It will literally power our planet until it swallows it in about 10 billion years. We just don’t know how to effectively turn it back on yet to efficiently power our modernity. Or, if we do, it certainly isn’t public information.
