I have invented a perpetual motion machine that overturns the 2nd law of thermodynamics

The machine works using gravity and spinning rotors. It will spin on its own and it will spin forever. Try and disprove my machine, but you may only use the shit I wrote as evidence (using physics from a college textbook will result in an F for this experiment).

  • But can it do work? That's the main use/reason/qualifier

  • Pretty sure that da Vinci did this first. Also I saw the same YouTube video the other day. I liked the self supplying water current the most.

  • I'll just cite a book by Dr. Michie Kaku. It's called [u]Physics of the Impossible[/u], in his book he has 3 impossibility classes, 1, 2 and 3. 1 being things we may have by the end of the century; 2 being things we may have in a few hundred years; and 3 being things that as we know it, violate the laws of physics and are, for now, literally impossible. A perpetual motion machine is a class 3 impossibility. Eventually, due to friction on the joint/rotation point, your machine will stop. How long it would take I don't know but it will eventually stop. Also what are you powering with it? One of the reasons for trying to make a perpetual motion machine is so you can endlessly power something. So once again, the energy transfer from your machine to whatever you are powering will eventually stop it. Energy will be lost in friction, and bc of the friction, heat as well.

    • Why the Christian hashtags?? An Atmos clock is the closest we'll ever be to perpetual motion.

    • Forever huh that's a pretty long time so if the world ends and this somehow survives and floats around in space it will keep working. [spoiler]there is no gravity in space get wrecked noob[/spoiler]

      • Except this is a clip from a fake video deminstrating how a perpetual motion machine would work. Note that the wheel goes into the table at the bottom, this is where the motor is located.

      • Terrible religious b8 m8. Some one should assassin8 you for this bad religious b8 m8. Please do not cre8 any more bad religious b8 m8. I h8 this b8 so much that I will give it a r8 of .08/8 which is not a gr8 r8 m8. This bad religious b8 deserves to be met with h8 by all the gr8 m8's who like to r8 b8 with h8.

        • I know this will get me a F but the only thing I can think is how I'm the video that came from all the machines where examples of past attempts at perpetual motion powered by electric motors. Sorry that is the only thing I could think when I saw that

        • Wheels loose momentum eventually stopping the rotation and putting it in a slow halt

        • I'm just wondering what would happen when it is placed under load? It doesn't seem strong enough to be used for powering anything.

          • This is implying all conditions are constant and does not violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics as gravity continuously applies force to it. It's like saying a water wheel violates the 2nd law.
