britwithtea Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 there aught to be a thread for this topic, so here it is. this is my pepetual motion machine. its in space, its a dounut shapped magnet. in the center is anohter magnet, same polarity. the dougnut magnet is place slightly offcenter on the horizotal plain, it is released. it should eventualy reach a equalibrim, but in zeroG and a vacum it could be some time, besides, tecnicaly in a true vacum that is near pepetual. im sure you guys can do better though. but dose anyone know what the current prize for a pepetual motion device is?

ed84c Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 there was a large cash prize of $2,000,000 last time i heard. If it wasnt impossible i might have a dabble myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ed84c Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I think it means that it spins continually around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anarchaus Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Igot a perpetual motion machine, spin a top in deep, deep space(out side the galactic neighboorhood) it will keep going, and going, and going... beat that energizer bunny. so that is perpetual, but i see no use for it. And, all the "perpetual" motion machines, had some sort of magnets along with it, so there not perpetual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britwithtea Posted April 1, 2005 Author Share Posted April 1, 2005 Explain to me how this works. itd try to stop in the dead center, but id never come to a complete stop (never being as long as your alive in this case) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] actualy the collison of hytrogen particals would eventualy slow it down, yet again its near perpetual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 im sure you guys can do better though. but dose anyone know what the current prize for a pepetual motion device is? Well, if there was one, there'd be a safe bet that it would never be claimed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
