Is This Magnet Motor Doomed to Fail?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the viability of magnet motors, specifically questioning whether they can function as perpetual motion machines. Participants unanimously conclude that magnet motors are doomed to fail, citing the fundamental laws of physics that govern energy conservation. The consensus is that these devices are often perceived as too good to be true, and their theoretical underpinnings are mathematically complex, making them implausible in practical applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the laws of thermodynamics
  • Familiarity with the concept of perpetual motion machines
  • Basic knowledge of magnetism and magnetic fields
  • Mathematical principles related to energy conservation
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the laws of thermodynamics and their implications for energy systems
  • Explore the history and theories surrounding perpetual motion machines
  • Study the principles of magnetism and how they apply to energy generation
  • Investigate mathematical models that explain energy conservation in mechanical systems
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for physicists, engineers, inventors, and anyone interested in the feasibility of alternative energy solutions and the scientific principles that govern them.

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.
