Perpetual Motion is Impossible

[WaltzCee]

Please have your children cover their eyes

Now one weight spontaneously gives up half its velocity to the other weight.
Weight #1 V = 10 ft/s. Its KE = 10^2 = 100 KE units.
Weight #2 v = 30 ft/s. Its KE = 30^2 = 900 KE units.
Total KE combined of two weights is 1000 KE units.

Thus we gained 200 KE units simply by allowing motion to transfer from a weight that is slowing down to a weight that is speeding up. We added no energy. Momentum was conserved. The weights changed their velocities spontaneously without consuming any energy.

Did Jim know the answer?

[WaltzCee]

no, he did not. He died before he could build his idea, but it wasn't the answer.

His idea was driven by c.f. I miss that booger. He was a fighter. :)

Happy resurrection day.

Try the ignore button option - a flame can't burn without oxygen. Unless you like the drama and it makes your day happier. Doesn't work for me.

I've got to respect you because you're an old man. If you ignored me that's fine. What is the KB and SG complex?

I would be much more impressive if I didn't have traumatic brain damage. I don't even know why I'm doing this stuff. I just want to sit in bed and stare at the wall. You probably spend countless hours in simulations and calculations and I just draw a few pictures. Wouldn't it be sick if I discover Bessler's wheel and not you? I have big dick energy right now. My current design is inspirational.

Hi Preoccupied, I don't believe Fletcher was referring to you.

How would you prove it was Bessler's wheel?

[preoccupied]

I would have discovered a perpetual motion machine. How many perpetual motion machines can there be? Wouldn't Bessler's wheel be THE perpetual motion machine? I think that the swastika sounds like it applies force at right angles to the axis. That is one of Bessler's clues. Bessler wheel is just another term for gravity wheel. It has that reputation now. Accept it. I'm not kissing Bessler's ring for this task. I appreciate his clues but a perpetual motion machine is a perpetual motion machine.

By the very definition of the word 'perpetual', nothing is.

These laws of thermodynamics apply regardless of the size of the system. For example, the motions and rotations of celestial bodies such as planets may appear perpetual, but are actually subject to many processes that slowly dissipate their kinetic energy, such as solar wind, interstellar medium resistance, gravitational radiation and thermal radiation, so they will not keep moving forever.[6][7]

Thus, machines that extract energy from finite sources will not operate indefinitely, because they are driven by the energy stored in the source, which will eventually be exhausted. A common example is devices powered by ocean currents, whose energy is ultimately derived from the Sun, which itself will eventually burn out.

no, he did not. He died before he could build his idea, but it wasn't the answer.

Who said he didn't build it? JM did build it and it didn't work.

One day soon we'll be able to train an AI on the contents of this forum. I wonder how it'll cope with all the nonsense :D

[WaltzCee]

I didn't know he finished it.
Do you have a link, Bill?

[ovyyus]

I didn't know he finished it.

Why did you say he didn't build it? Where's your link?

[WaltzCee]

I don't have one, but I remember his son came here. Initially he used Jim's screen name. That's when I thought the rumors of his death were greatly exaggerated.

I thought he was building metal triangles, but didn't get it all together. I never thought c.f. was an answer.

Come on now. Cloud camper attacked me with a vengeance while I was too weak to build my wheel. I got so weak I could hardly walk twenty feet without almost fainting. The rest is history. I now live on transfusions because of my leukemia cancer. So stop bellyaching.
