Can a perpetual motion machine really be built for only $150?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of perpetual motion machines (PMMs), exploring the feasibility of building one for a low cost of $150. Participants share personal ideas, hypothetical scenarios, and philosophical musings about the nature of perpetual motion and the universe.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses skepticism about the feasibility of creating a true perpetual motion machine, suggesting that even a machine lasting several decades would be significant.
  • Another participant claims to have invented a PMM and expresses interest in sharing plans, indicating a willingness to collaborate.
  • A question is posed about whether the universe itself could be considered a perpetual motion machine.
  • Some participants argue against the idea of the universe as a PMM, citing scientific beliefs about the eventual end of the universe.
  • There is a philosophical discussion about the nature of time and whether it ends or simply stops with the universe's end.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants exhibit a mix of agreement and disagreement regarding the nature of perpetual motion machines and the universe. While some share ideas and express interest in collaboration, others challenge the feasibility of PMMs and the concept of the universe as a perpetual motion machine.

Contextual Notes

Participants' claims about the nature of perpetual motion and the universe are based on personal interpretations and speculative ideas, with no consensus reached on the definitions or implications of these concepts.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be of interest to individuals exploring concepts in physics, particularly those related to perpetual motion, the nature of time, and philosophical implications of scientific theories.

its odd how many years have passed, but no one has accomplished it truly.

a perpetual motion machine is suppose to run forever.(until the Galaxy Collapses.)

i mean even if it wouldent be perpetual, it would last a good while like 7 to 10 decades of you family's tree like 300-500 years.

just until something comes to an end, its consider perpetual, like a closing galaxy.

if i die 89 years from now and my machine is still running its perpetual motion my point of view.

i mean it would be kinda odd to see something run for 8+ billion years and probly get laughed at by martians...because we destroyed are selfs in the near future...

imagine if you could build a machine for 150$ cash and could run for 300-500 years that could be used to drive around the city, talk about a good engine!

plus you invest more money on a car repair then if you were to invest on a perpetual motion machine that would give more efficiency and talk about heck of a engine lifetime.


i guess that would be the Billion dollar question...


and no i won't show you mine perpetual motion plans...lmao

if i were to post world-wide, my idea about engine with an lifetime expectancy of 300-500 years without gas for just 150$ without pullition

how many would buy it ?

probly send all the motor company's broke, and the oil company's.
---------------------------------------------------------------
this system is so corrupt is not even funny...

you know what. all give you my plans...

and if you make it alive after the world-wide annoucement with the 4 billion dollars all let you have a share of :eek: 350,000,000$

so whos up for the challenge ? :wink:
---------------------------------------------------------------
and i aint kidding... :rolleyes:
 
Physics news on Phys.org
hey man ill help you out if i can, i myself have invented a PMM, ill have to decide wheather or not i would actually take the money in the end, but i would absolutely love to see the plans, u can send em to AdamChess4@aol.com or IM me @ AdamChess4. I posted an PMM idea in the clasical physics forrum, its under arsonade, honestly however, my PMM would run forever, but i wouldn't critisise a fellow imposible science junkie lol, good luck : )
 
Is the universe considered as a perpetual motion machine?
 
I don't think so, because according to science the universe will end some time in the not too...hmmmmmm...distant future...hmmmm...

Not any more odd than our inability to travel faster than the speed of light, travel back in time, or find the Loch Ness monster...

Yes, but when the universe ends, time also ends. So, the universe is in motion for all time.

maybe time doesn't so much end but maybe stops would be a another way of looking...ha
