Laws of physics broken as a perpetual motion machine was invented

[Rblade]

Besides, whatever happened to that one idea of magnetic motors? Just wondering...seems like a good plan.

how do you suppose electric engines work. Every lawnmower, dishwasher etc. has an electric engine based on a set of electromagnets and multifase AC currents.

The problem with the atricle is. as mentioned before. with the racket and motion and the fact that part of the machine is offscreen it seems really tough to just believe him on his puppy blue eyes.

And the internet wouldn't be the first place he'd introduce this to I'm sure. if he's an acctuall engineer with some connections to academic institutions.

 

[EHKOS]

Well it's certainly possible. If I can break US laws then people can definatly breaks physics'.
Jokes aside that is totally fake.
Also that Magic ad actually started slowing me down so I broke it.

*yawn* another "Perpetual Motion" hoax. Someone comes up with a fake perpetual motion or free energy machine or water-powered engine every week or so.

Um, water powered engines exist and are used in real life power plants.

The 'water powered engine' in XMark example is the often used then proved to be false water powered internal combustion engine, the 'water powered engine' used in power plants is a magnetism based generator that uses flowing water to rotate a spindle. The same type of generator is used in gas, oil and nuclear plants except that steam produced using heat generated by the initial source (burning/nuclear decay) is instead used to turn the spindle.

If it's real, HOLY SHIT THAT'S AWESOME.
If it's not real, then... well, it's still an interesting piece of art.

No technology exists and potentially no technology will ever exist which can violate the laws of physics. There is no possibility of this being a real perpetual motion machine. The only thing so far which has come even close to sustained perpetual motion are superfluids and those are not strictly perpetual motion machines.

 

[Spacelord]

's not much of a perpetuum mobile if it generates energy from gravitational forces is it.

 

[Nahhnbah]

Troll...science?

Trolls are smart enough to utilize science?

Anyway, fucking A if it's the real thing, bawww if its not.

Move along now.

 

[Snownine]

%100 BS. A perpetual motion machine will never exist in this universe.

 

[gl1koz3]

After seeing enough of these things, can only say "meh" and move on.

 

[Altair2450]

Speaking as an engineer ->

The machine shakes too much (Energy dissipated here)

The blades look too bulky to be rotated by a piddly little battery

No matter what you do, frictional losses in the machine will be there

It makes a huge amount of noise (another form of energy dissipation)

To be powered by "free fall" , it *needs to fall*. The blades are all constrained, and therefore there is no "free fall".

Besides... you can see the whole setup being plugged into something (apparently what stores the "energy created" by this thing...)

I call "Yet another hoax"

 

[daavisb]

I dont get it. does he make gravity into electricity? doesent sound like very much.

 

[SuperNashwan]

I am about to go public with my fart-collecting metho-pants. At the end of each day, everyone in the world must download their collected farts into the metho-grid, where it is piped away for unlimited power. I mostly got the idea from Star Trek. Or maybe it was flatulence, one of the two.

And hey, Somerset. I went on holiday there once. Got chased by a sheepdog. Baaaa.

 

[spartandude]

why are you guys no believing it, it has a video of it spinning!

anything spinning is immediately amazing!

 

[Daveman]

Just a reminder, if it's not being invested in, it's not real.

 

[UberNoodle]

Regardless of whether this is real or not, NOTHING can BREAK the laws of Physics because those laws aren't set. They'll just change or be ammended. The laws can't be broken because they are dynamic, every single one of them. That's the nature of a system based on investigation. Science isn't religion.

 

[Denamic]

Dubbed the Alpha Omega Galaxy Freefall Generator, this device uses the power of gravity to produce more electricity than it consumes through perpetual motion.

This is what makes it such an obvious hoax.
People have tried this and found that physics doesn't agree with the idea.

 

[Newtilator]

The guy who made this lives in my area. Saw this in the local newspaper. But, it simply cannot work. maybe its a very very very long motion machine, but it cannot spin forever. I doubt the worlds first machine that breaks the laws of physics will be made from old bicycle parts.

 

[SnipErlite]

If this is supposed to be powered purely by gravity? No way.

Neither did you. They admit that it uses some energy to keep up the momentum, but their claim is that it releases more than it uses. As in, recharging the batteries faster than it uses them. It doesn't look particularly implausible from what we're shown.

Okay, maybe I posted in a hurry

Still, I don't believe it. Too much resistance. There's always too much resistance.

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

Em I have a question. How is this true if it were really "breaking" the laws of physics? Gravity is a force and as can give kinetic energy. If it is using gravity then explain to me how it is defying physics?

Edit: I know that out understanding of physics has changed but nothing is really being created here just use of gravity to give kinetic energy.

Gravity causes the conversion of Potential energy into kinetic energy. That's fine. You drop a bowling ball from a ladder onto a pad that generates electricity when pushed down then you have turned gravity into power. Then, however you need to lift the ball back up the ladder which uses energy, more than you get when you drop it. Do you see? there is a finite amount of energy available. Once you're down you need to go back again.

That is exactly what I am talking about I don't see how he is creating energy. He has the machine at a point to which gravity will bring it down and so has created potential energy.

The thing is he's claiming that his system will get MORE energy out of gravity than it is putting in. That is impossible as you must always get LESS energy in these cases. Thus breaks the laws of Physics.

I understand that but it doesn't seem to be doing it at all atleast from what is being said which is why I said that but I see what you mean.

 

[Weaver]

There is nothing in that video which proves it's doing what it says. For all we know it could just be a motor plugged into the wall, spinning a turbine with a bunch of shit nailed to it.
