Perpetual motion and free energy possible?

[russ_watters]

Perpetual motion machines (PMMs)of the 1st, 2nd, or of any kind, does not and have never violated any laws of physics.

Reread what alpha posted. By definition, they violate the laws of physics.

Laws of Physics state, "Anything with a beginning, will come to an end".

There is no law of physics that says that.

Guadalupe, we are patient people, but our patience is finite. You are welcome to try to overturn the laws of physics in the Theory Development forum, but not in other forums. Other forums are for discussing the real laws of physics.

Forgive me for not being too specific. But, can anyone give me one example, by difinition, that is infinite in this whole universe? Just one?

Oh! God is a given. Sorry.

Infinite meaning, "with no beginning and no end".
All PMMs of any kind, are finite, because they all have a point of origin, a ground state, a beginning.
Laws of Physics state, "Anything with a beginning, will come to an end". Again, PMMs are simply misunderstood.

Guadalupe, it seems it is you who has misunderstood PMMs. I do not blame you - the word "perpetual" is rather missleading; and the word "motion" is somewhat misplaced (see below). As I wrote earlier, PMMs are defined as machines that violate one of the first two laws of thermodynamics. Typically, these are machines that are supposed to produce continuous motion, hence the name. They are not expected to run forever, but only for as long as their structure remains intact.

To be honest, PMMs shouldn't really be called PMMs. Nothing in their definition talks about motion. And in fact perpetual motion is possible, and is occurring all the time. The Earth is in perpetual motion around the sun and around its own axis, the same goes for the moon, the other planets, and so on. What is not possible, is to produce work from such motion.

But if you want to talk about "free energy". My bet is on solar energy generator or windmill generator.

These examples are not free energy, in the sense that energy is not being created out of nothing. It is simply being converted from one form to another. And that is indeed quite possible.

We're not even sure if the universe itself is infinite (though it looks like it may be). In any case, this has nothing to do with why what you are saying isn't physics.

Having a point of origin is the very foundation in which engineering basis their building blocks upon. Without it, one can not build on the ideas, thoughts, even their insperations.

The word "Perpetual" to mean: forever, never change, etc. But, has anyone stopped to ask as to how can anything be forever in motion without having a point of origin? The answer is, sadly, no.

We claim that perpetual motion machines to do all kinds of wondrous things, like giving us free energy, runs forever, etc, and all because we are making the mistake of defining the word "perpetual" with Newton 1st Law of Motion (infinite) and overlooking his 3rd Law of Motion (finite).

I'm not talking about "free energy", but about "perpetual motion machines" as having a beginning, a ground state, a point of origin, onces its put forward into motion.

Why is it soooooo important about having a point of origin you ask? It means, "Any object set in motion, from a ground state, a beginning, a point of origin, will eventually come to a grinding halt".

Since the vast majority of this thread has been inappropriate for General Physics, I am moving it to TD.
