Secondary thermal energey conversion to inertial energy.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the theoretical possibility of using resonance waves to align molecular vibrations in an object, potentially enabling it to accelerate rapidly in one direction. Participants question the feasibility of such a method, emphasizing the importance of understanding the type of resonance wave involved, whether magnetic, sound, or physical impacts. However, a consensus emerges that current scientific understanding suggests it is not possible to convert random thermal motion into directed motion as proposed. The idea of achieving instantaneous high-speed acceleration through molecular alignment remains speculative and unsupported by existing physics. Overall, the concept lacks practical application based on current scientific principles.

is it possible by any means to use a type of resonance wave to convert the vibrating motion of molecules in an object such that they start moving in the same direction causing the object to take off at high speed once the majority of the molecules are moving in the same direction?
the acceleration will be instantaneous and incredibly high and only last while aligning the remaining molecules of said object until it leaves the resonance field.

What sort of "resonance wave" are you talking about? It's kind of important to know.
 
magnetic sound physical impacts anything that can cause a temporary change in direction
 
Nope. There's nothing that can "convert" the random thermal motion in the way you're thinking of.
 
I was watching a Khan Academy video on entropy called: Reconciling thermodynamic and state definitions of entropy. So in the video it says: Let's say I have a container. And in that container, I have gas particles and they're bouncing around like gas particles tend to do, creating some pressure on the container of a certain volume. And let's say I have n particles. Now, each of these particles could be in x different states. Now, if each of them can be in x different states, how many total...
Thread 'Why work is PdV and not (P+dP)dV in an isothermal process?'
Let's say we have a cylinder of volume V1 with a frictionless movable piston and some gas trapped inside with pressure P1 and temperature T1. On top of the piston lay some small pebbles that add weight and essentially create the pressure P1. Also the system is inside a reservoir of water that keeps its temperature constant at T1. The system is in equilibrium at V1, P1, T1. Now let's say i put another very small pebble on top of the piston (0,00001kg) and after some seconds the system...
