    How Does Heat Conversion Differ from Magnetic Energy Conversion?

    I realize of course the magnet version would be a perpetual motion and we all know that is impossible. The laws of physics forbid it. Most such ideas it's easy to see where they break down but with this idea I just can't see where it is different from the heat version. I guess what I was...

    How Does Heat Conversion Differ from Magnetic Energy Conversion?

    New here. If this isn't the right forum for the question excuse me. I saw a science demonstration of converting heat to mechanical energy. it was a circular rim supported on an axle by rubber band spokes, kind of like a bicycle wheel but with rubber bands instead of metal spokes. kind a...
