SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the feasibility of designing perpetual motion wheels and pulleys to achieve an output power of 18 to 20 horsepower at 1800-2000 RPM. Participants emphasize that perpetual motion is impossible according to the laws of physics, and it is categorized as a banned topic in this forum. The conversation highlights the need for alternative power generation methods rather than relying on perpetual motion concepts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic physics principles, particularly the laws of thermodynamics.
  • Familiarity with mechanical engineering concepts related to power transmission.
  • Knowledge of rotational dynamics and RPM calculations.
  • Awareness of magnetic fields and their applications in mechanical systems.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the laws of thermodynamics and their implications on energy generation.
  • Explore alternative energy generation methods, such as solar or wind power systems.
  • Learn about mechanical design principles for efficient power transmission systems.
  • Investigate the use of magnets in energy systems, focusing on magnetic levitation and its applications.
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, inventors, and hobbyists interested in mechanical design, energy generation, and those seeking to understand the limitations of perpetual motion concepts.

looking for information ( or source) on sizing of propetual motion wheels plus pulley /gear sizing to generate a outcome power equal to a 18/20 hp engine. note it only needs to turn 1800-2000 rpm at final drive. Earth magnets will turn the propetual wheels. thanks in advance for all/any inputs.

Here's an input - perpetual motion is impossible!
 
Perpetual motion is also on the list of banned topics here. There are plenty of other places on the internet where this is discussed.
