Perpetual Motion: Can Mono Polar Magnets Create It?

AI Thread Summary
Perpetual motion using mono polar magnets is a hypothetical concept that raises questions about energy conservation. The discussion explores the idea of using magnets to levitate a design in a vacuum, questioning if it could achieve perpetual motion. However, the forum rules prohibit discussions on perpetual motion machines (PMMs) due to their violation of established physical laws. Participants are directed to resources explaining why such concepts are considered pseudoscience. Ultimately, the thread is closed to maintain adherence to forum guidelines.

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?

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
