Perpetual Motion: Ideas & Input Welcome

AI Thread Summary
Perpetual motion remains a contentious topic with little progress over the years, leading to skepticism among forum members. The original poster expresses a desire to share an idea but prefers to wait until it is physically tested. There is a strong sentiment that discussions on perpetual motion are unproductive and tiresome. The community appears disinterested in engaging further on this subject. Overall, the thread highlights a reluctance to explore ideas related to perpetual motion due to historical failures.

well, here's the thing, i have an idea and would love to share with everyone, but until i physically test it I am not going to, but if anyone has any input on the subject i would love to hear it

Any input on your idea which you don't want to share?

Not going to happen!
 
Perpetual motion subject is tiresome and have not amounted to anything for eons. This is not a subject to be discussed in this forum.

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
