AI Thread Summary
Perpetual motion is not possible, and discussions about it are prohibited on the forum. The water levels in a tank will equalize at approximately 10 meters above the spillway, due to atmospheric pressure and the principles of a water-filled barometer. The thread was closed to adhere to forum rules against discussing perpetual motion machines (PMMs). Resources were provided to further explain the reasoning behind this policy. The conversation emphasizes the distinction between legitimate scientific inquiry and pseudoscience.

TL;DR Summary
onsidering fluid dynamics and conversion of mass.......after all tanks and lines filled with water, then opening sluice valve to "tank a", afterwards others, water perpetual flow or no?🤔

and if not, where will water levels equalize?

No. Perpetual motion is not possible.
Discussion of PM is forbidden on this site.

About 10 metres above the spillway of the catch tank. That is the height of a water-filled barometer, a column of water supported by atmospheric pressure with a near vacuum of water vapour above.

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 'Free fall of person in a sled to direct horizontal motion by atmospheric resistance'

Let there be a person in a not yet optimally designed sled at h meters in height. Let this sled free fall but user can steer by tilting their body weight in the sled or by optimal sled shape design point it in some horizontal direction where it is wanted to go - in any horizontal direction but once picked fixed. How to calculate horizontal distance d achievable as function of height h. Thus what is f(h) = d. Put another way, imagine a helicopter rises to a height h, but then shuts off all...
