SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the feasibility of creating perpetual motion using hypothetical mono polar magnets and a levitating wheel design in a vacuum. The concept is fundamentally flawed as it contradicts the laws of thermodynamics, which state that energy cannot be created from nothing. The thread was closed due to forum rules prohibiting discussions on perpetual motion machines (PMMs) and pseudoscience. Relevant resources were provided to clarify why such concepts are not scientifically valid.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the laws of thermodynamics
  • Familiarity with magnetic properties and magnetism
  • Knowledge of vacuum environments and their effects on motion
  • Basic principles of mechanical engineering and design
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the laws of thermodynamics, specifically the first and second laws
  • Explore the properties of magnets, focusing on mono polar and opposing polarities
  • Study the principles of mechanical design in vacuum conditions
  • Investigate the scientific consensus on perpetual motion and free energy concepts
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, engineers, and students interested in thermodynamics, magnetism, and the scientific principles governing energy conservation.

I am wondering if perpetual motion is possible using mono polar magnets and magnets that do not depolarize (these are hypothetical magnets)
If you had a magnet that used opposing polarities to spin a wheel that had no pivot points, but instead used magnets to levitate the design and it was in a vacuum, would it be perpetual and how would you show this in a formula?
I do understand that all energy needs to come from somewhere and that would come from that magnets, but with no other place for the energy to go, would it be possible to create perpetual motion?

Thanks for taking the time to respond,
Jake

Why do you need magnets? Why not just spin anything vacuum?
