Is This Magnet Motor Doomed to Fail?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on skepticism regarding the viability of a specific magnet motor design. Participants express a general consensus that perpetual motion machines, including magnet motors, are fundamentally flawed and unlikely to work. The belief in such devices is often rooted in strong conviction, despite overwhelming evidence against their feasibility. The consensus is that if a concept seems too good to be true, it typically is, leading to a definitive conclusion that the magnet motor in question is unlikely to succeed. Overall, the thread emphasizes the challenges and mathematical complexities involved in proving the functionality of magnet motors.

Can you please tell me whether you think this magnet motor will work or not?
If not then what is the reason why not.

Most magnet motors seem to have a bad press, so I don't hold much hope for this one:

Thank you.

Perpetual motion machines don't work - it's not usually worth discussing it because the people who believe in them REALLY beleive.
But if you are interested see

Magnet ones, in particular, are difficult to explain without a lot of maths - but if it looks too good to be true, it is!
 
Simple answer, NO.
 

Thread 'What mathematics software should engineering students use?'

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
