Perpetual Motion: Can Mono Polar Magnets Create It?

[anth3mking]

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?

There are some useful links in the PF Rules thread to help you understand why PMMs are not possible. From the Forbidden Topics list (see the Rules/Guidelines thread in the Feedback forum):

Perpetual motion is a concept that has been explored for centuries, and while it may seem like a fascinating idea, it goes against the laws of physics. The idea of using mono polar magnets to create perpetual motion is not feasible.

According to the first and second laws of thermodynamics, energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another. This means that even in a vacuum with no external forces, the energy used to create the initial motion of the magnets will eventually dissipate due to friction and other factors.

Additionally, the use of mono polar magnets would not change this principle. While they may seem like a solution since they do not depolarize, the magnetic field still requires energy to maintain it. Therefore, the energy used to create the magnets' initial motion will eventually run out, and the perpetual motion will stop.

Furthermore, the concept of perpetual motion goes against the fundamental principles of science. It is essential to approach scientific inquiries with a critical and analytical mindset, and the idea of perpetual motion relies on wishful thinking rather than empirical evidence and logical reasoning.

In terms of showing the concept of perpetual motion in a formula, it is not possible since it is not a scientifically valid concept. As scientists, we must rely on evidence-based theories and principles to understand the world around us and push the boundaries of knowledge.

In conclusion, perpetual motion using mono polar magnets is not possible, and it is crucial to approach scientific inquiries with a critical mindset and rely on evidence-based theories to understand the world around us.
