Perpetual Motion

Is Perpetual Motion a possibility or impossibility?

Motion Perpetual

There has been no proof that this is possible save for one man who built a clock like machine that ran for days with no intervention during the 1800s. At the time he offered the plans for his invention for $20,000 but no one would buy it do he just disappeared with it.

This is impossible for one small reason friction exists. So if you can find a place with a perfect came and newtons laws of gravity do not exists then perhaps it is possible.

Friction uses up energy so to keep the motion continuing you must replace that lost energy. If you make it friction less you still have one small problem.

A body that has mass will attract another mass to it....Gravity. So that will still exist and will use up energy that would have to be replaced. You might make a machine that can run a long long time in a vacuum in space but sooner or later it will stop.

Does that stand true for meteors too? It must take millions of years for one of those puppies to slow down.

I believe that perpetual motion can occur. Granted if you take the laws or friction, motion and gravity and use them to offset each other you can achieve perpetual motion. The trick is getting one law to off set the other two and then the next one offsetting the other two too until you have all three laws offsetting the other two. I believe as we learn more we can achieve the perpetual motion theory.

Yes it does stand true for meteors or you would not see the debris trail following them. That is pieces knocked of the main body due to collisions and atmospheric scrubbing. I agree with kind of momentum it will take a vast time to ever come to rest.

I am glad you have such great faith in men. I do think we will invent machines that run on almost no energy to complete required work based on perpetual motion theories.

I am hoping that these machines come out soon as that will help boost a lot of work.
