Can a Self-Supply Gravity Motor Generate Infinite Energy?

In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of creating enough energy by letting a pound fall to crank a rotor and using a trampoline or magnetic force to help lift the pound back up. However, due to energy conservation and external forces such as friction, air resistance, and gravity waves, it is not possible to create perpetual motion and bring the pound back up to its original position. These topics are also banned from discussion on the forum.

Is it possible to create enough energy( by letting a pound falling to crank a rotor) to bring back up the pound?

No.
There is always some energy lost due to friction so that you get less stored energy than would be needed to bring the weight back to its original position.

if you use a trampolin at the end to help a little the lift?

Nope. There is no way around energy conservation and there will always be some losses.

You should read up on perpetual motion machine of the third kind.

It's possible IF,no external forces were present.but this is not the case of our universe(as far as I know of it)Friction and air-resistance will of course make it lose energy.

It's not even an issue of external forces like friction or air resistance, even the simple act of accelerating the mass causes it to emit gravity waves and lose energy.

if you help the pound with magnetic force?

I'm sorry, we don't discuss ideas for perpetual motion machines here, even to debunk them.

1. What is a self-supply gravity motor?

A self-supply gravity motor is a type of motor that uses the force of gravity to generate power. It is designed to be self-sustaining, meaning it does not require any external energy source to function.

2. How does a self-supply gravity motor work?

A self-supply gravity motor works by utilizing the force of gravity to rotate a wheel or other mechanism, which then turns a generator and produces electricity. The motor is designed in such a way that the weight of the rotating wheel or mechanism is constantly pulling down due to gravity, creating a continuous motion.

3. What are the advantages of a self-supply gravity motor?

One of the main advantages of a self-supply gravity motor is its sustainability. Since it does not require an external energy source, it is not dependent on non-renewable resources. It also has a low environmental impact and can be used in remote areas where access to electricity is limited.

4. Are there any limitations to a self-supply gravity motor?

One limitation of a self-supply gravity motor is that it can only generate a certain amount of power depending on the size and design of the motor. It may not be suitable for large-scale energy production. Additionally, the initial cost of building a self-supply gravity motor may be high.

5. Has a self-supply gravity motor been successfully implemented?

Currently, there are no widely used self-supply gravity motors. While there have been successful prototypes and demonstrations, the technology is still in its early stages and further research and development is needed before it can be implemented on a larger scale.
