Perpetual motion machine selling site

In summary, the conversation discusses a website that sells plans for fuelless motor devices, which are essentially perpetual motion machines. The website is run by a David Waggoner, who claims to be a research scientist in free energy devices. The conversation expresses concern about the potential harm caused by people buying into the false claims of the website. It also mentions that the discussion of perpetual motion is banned due to its violation of the laws of physics.

Hi, people!

I've recently found this site on the web: [link deleted by Ivan]
It is a site thet sells plans for various so called "fuelless motor" devices. Take a look, and you'll see that it is basically selling plans of perpetual motion machines (and they aren't even original! The diagram on the gravity motor page looks like an 18th centry perpetual motion machine design!) It is runned by a David Waggoner, a "research scientist devoting his life in the study and development of free energy devices", and in the About Us page, it contains various "facts" to get people to buy their stuff. The whole site would have been rather funny if it weren't for the fact that somebody probablly have bought/ will buy their stuff! Someone please help to stop them ASAP.

All perpetual motion claims are banned from discussion here. We know that any such device would violate the laws of physics so there is no need for debate. Beyond that, posting links only provides free advertising for the crackpots and cons. For these reasons we don't pursue internet scams.

I am deeply concerned about the promotion and sale of perpetual motion machines on this website. Perpetual motion machines, also known as perpetual motion devices, are machines that claim to produce energy indefinitely without any external source of energy. However, these machines violate the fundamental laws of thermodynamics and are scientifically impossible.

The concept of a perpetual motion machine has been disproven by numerous experiments and research, and the fact that this website is selling plans for such machines is misleading and potentially harmful to those who may believe in their claims. It is important to note that the diagram on the gravity motor page is a known design from the 18th century that has been proven to not work.

Furthermore, the website's claims of "free energy" and "facts" are not supported by any scientific evidence or research. It is important for individuals to be cautious of false claims and to seek out reliable and scientifically backed information.

I urge the website owner, David Waggoner, to reconsider the promotion and sale of perpetual motion machines and to instead focus on scientifically sound and viable energy solutions. As scientists, it is our responsibility to educate the public and prevent false information from being spread. I also encourage individuals to be critical and skeptical of claims made by websites such as this and to consult with reputable sources before investing in any products or plans.
 

1. What is a perpetual motion machine?

A perpetual motion machine is a hypothetical device that is able to operate indefinitely without any external energy input. It violates the laws of thermodynamics and is considered impossible to create.

2. How do perpetual motion machines work?

Perpetual motion machines are designed to continuously move without stopping, but since they require no energy input to keep moving, they violate the law of conservation of energy. Therefore, they cannot work and do not exist in reality.

3. Why are perpetual motion machines impossible to create?

The first and second laws of thermodynamics state that energy cannot be created or destroyed, and that energy will always flow from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. These laws make it impossible for a perpetual motion machine to exist, as it would require energy to be created or constantly concentrated without any loss.

4. Are there any successful perpetual motion machines?

No, there are no successful perpetual motion machines. Many people have attempted to create them, but all have failed because they violate the laws of thermodynamics. Some machines may appear to be perpetual motion machines, but they are actually powered by hidden energy sources or simply wind down over time.

5. Why are there websites selling perpetual motion machines?

These websites are often scams, preying on people's desire for a device that can provide infinite energy. They may claim to have created a perpetual motion machine, but in reality, they are selling a product that does not work as advertised. It is important to be wary of such sites and always do thorough research before purchasing any supposed perpetual motion machine.
