Paradox or miscalculation ??
Hello everybody,
First of all, let me say that I am an computer science engineer, and that i had relatively deep physics courses. That is to say, I know (more or less) what I am talking about :)
Well, my dilemma is: several years ago, I modeled a macroscopicphysical system based on static electrical charges. Those charges, assumed to be pontual and encapsulated in a non conducting material, are fixed in a certain manner within the physical system.
The system itself might be made of any solid material.
The thing is, the configuration of the system (rotation tying of its different parts) and the disposition of the charges implies a perpetual rotation of a central rod (on which some charges are attached).
I have reviewed my calculations several times (wich are pretty simple that is), and my programming. I have run several simulations, and all come with the same result : there is always a tork force on the rod directed in the same direction, making it turn perpetually.
The system does not consume any internal or external energy of any type.
I have abondoned the idea, because this is just contradictory with the basic physical principles : the energy outcome (entering and exiting) in a closed system is equal to 0.
I reviewed that modelling lately, and I was thinking about it's feasability with permanent magnets, as it is not parctically feasible to have electrical charges.
The magnetic forces computations are pretty tricky to achieve for permanent magnets in motion, as there are no direct ways to do them.
So this is my dilemma, before plunging in those compolicated magnetic computations, can someone tell me in my process in physically possible, or did I make a big mistake somewhere ?
Thank you very much
