The discussion centers on the feasibility of creating a self-powered fan that generates electricity through its own motion, akin to wind turbines. Participants concluded that this concept is fundamentally flawed as it represents a perpetual motion machine, which is impossible according to the laws of physics. The thread was ultimately closed due to the established consensus against discussing perpetual motion machines. For further understanding, a reference to a PF Insights article on the topic was provided.

Nope, that would an impossible perpetual motion machine.uncleoscy said:
Just a quick postscript for @uncleoscy -- Have a look at this PF Insights article about PMMs to get a better understanding for why they cannot work, and why we do not waste time discussing them here:uncleoscy said:
