AI Thread Summary
The Edwin V. Gray EMA Motor has raised skepticism due to its association with concepts often linked to perpetual motion. The discussion highlights the difficulty in finding credible explanations for its operation, as the terminology used in related articles is unclear and potentially misleading. Participants emphasize that without peer-reviewed validation, discussions about such technologies are discouraged in the forum. The conversation reflects a broader concern about the proliferation of unverified claims in the field of alternative energy. Ultimately, the need for credible scientific backing is underscored in evaluating the legitimacy of the motor.

Hi Guys!

First post, hope it's in the right place.

Ok so here's the deal. A friend of mine sent me an article about Edwin V. Gray's Electromagnetic Association Motor. It looks pretty suspicious to me (a perpetual motion thing) but I couldn't find any accessible explanation on how it works so I can't really make any comment on it. (The article uses terms like 'casual positron energy' and 'splitting the positive').

Does anybody know anything about it? If so could you tell me if it's a hoax or just an incredibly efficient engine and give some kind of explanation on how it works or doesn't work using well defined terms.

Thanks in anticipation!

Unfortunately, perpetual motion machines is a banned topic for this forum (there's a long history of it).

If it isn't published in peer-reviewed journals and been verified, we cannot discuss it on here. It attracts way too many crackpots.

I'm not suggesting it is perpetual motion. I'm just trying to get information about it.
 
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...
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 'Beam on an inclined plane'
Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
