Found a webpage of a guy who tried to make his own energy creating perpetual motion machine here ... When you think about it, it seems to make sense but they never seem to work.
Attempts to violate the 1st and 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics (particularly the 2nd) never ever made sense to me. :rolleyes: |

| Check out the ideas on paper. They may not work in reality but on paper it appeared to be a sure thing. Such as forcing a fixed wheel with external magents to rotate by placing fixed magnets of the same polarity around the wheel pointing all in one direction. |

| Of course it will work!! But only in space or vacuum, right?? :D |

First Law: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed! The sum total of energy in the universe is a constant (this also includes mass by Einstein's famous equation: E = mass X speed of light squared).
Second Law: Entropy increases toward a maximum! That means the amount of available/useable energy (i.e. ability to do work) is decreasing!!
What all this means is that to "create" energy REQUIRES the use of some prior, or currently existing, supply of mass or energy. This also means you can't get something from nothing.
Perpetual Motion Machines will never ever work period! The 1st and 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics preclude it!!
Unless the Builder is God :cool: :D - hey I'm not gonna put God in a box :1: |
