But it really isn't possible, and even if it was somehow done, there would be no real use. Like he said in the video, the most it would ever be able to do is just run itself forever, with no energy left for anything else

Conclusion: perpetual motion is the motion of bodies that continues forever in an unperturbed system. A perpetual motion machine is hypothetical machine that can work infinitely without an external energy source. This kind of machine is impossible, as it would violate either the first or second law of thermodynamics, or both.
Perpetual motion machinery has always interested me, not because I think it's worth pursuing in particular, but because the field is a breeding ground for thoughts about how to overcome energy loss to the extremes. I don't want a perpetual energy source, I want to see a piece of machinery that is so efficient that ones interaction with could be so intuitive and low frequency that practically anyone and their dog could use them to make energy, in the future.
congratulations you just invent what called as "gears" a complex gear could manipulate small energy collectively overtime into task that needs big and quick energy in other terms delaying powers needed into small but continuous cycle
I once saw this in a Dilbert Comic: Dilbert: I’m obsessed with creating a perpetual motion device. Most scientists say it can’t be done, but I have one thing they don’t have. Dogbert: A lot of spare time? Dilbert: Exactly.
If you consider the "Redstone System" as the code running in your computer's processor/s and being stored in memory, then the system is in fact drawing power from an external source. Interesting to think that the redstone's "energy" is just virtual - virtually infinite - though still limited by the physical energy which you can give to your computer.
that is why scientist are so excited about high temperature superconductivity, it allows to have a very little amount of energy loss when transporting electricity
@@nullbeyondo Heres a concept for a perpetual motion device... You take a steel ball, put it in space, and give it a push... Now it will have motion, perpetually...
@@hindugoat2302 u just yeeted a ball to space it has the same energy as long as it doesn't get, you know, universed. It still doesn't make any extra energy so newton don't need to come knocking at yo door
One thing I say is that if you see or otherwise interact with a perpetual motion machine, that means it doesn't work. For example, if you saw any light from a lightbulb powering itself, that means it let light out and therefore lost energy.
I was in an interview for a really elite school and they showed me a picture of a perpetual motion machine and I knew what it was thanks to this video, I’m pretty sure the only reason I got in was because of this. Thanks so much!
3:16 about that one, what if you make the hole bigger and wider so that the ball still falls through from some kind of slide and then reaches back the starting point? I know it probably wouldn't reach the starting point but if it hypothetically did then would it finally be a true perpetual motion machine?
and what if we add a weak magnet below the base of the hole like beliw the slide that would prevent the ball from being held at the bigger magnet because gravity is there too and then a wek magnet to pull it to the start
I used to think like the author of this video until I learned about Nikolai Tesla. In my opinion, Tesla is the most important inventor of all times and he was a keen observer. I was in shocked with the Tesla's statement saying that we do not need to burn fuel to generate electricity. It is the reason why Tesla went through several assassination attempts. The 1st attempt happened in 1894 when his lab was bombed. People need to learn the true nature of the famous Tesla coil and its principle of operation based on what Tesla called "Radiant Electricity". That's right, because his transformer does not operate on magnetic field, it can avoid the energy limiting issues due to the Lenz's law.
I remember trying to conceive of a perpetual motion machine as a kid, before I knew what it was called. Didn't take long to realize it was physically impossible.
Doesn't the Earth perpetually go around the sun until the sun dies or an outside force pushes or pulls it? A plant around an isolated red dwarf might go round and round for a trillion years, right? You might not be able to get any work out of it, but it would go on "forever", or am I missing something?
@@caricue You're missing the meaning of perpetual (which is never ending or changing), even a red dwarf ceases to exist at some point... Literally nothing known is perpetual. As stated by thermodynamics, all matter tends to entropy.
@@joshbond8391 But if a system keeps turning until the heat death of the universe, that's as perpetual as it is possible to be. I just wonder if it is true. Would not the planet spiral down into the star eventually, or maybe the gravity would dissipate and it would spiral away? From the video, we know that it might actually work with magnets, but the magnets would wear down and lose their magnetism eventually (I think that is what he said). You seem to be on board with the idea that a planet could theoretically orbit a long lived object for trillions of years, as long as nothing outside perturbed the stability, right? I'm sure we are missing something, besides, it is not entirely certain that the universe ends in heat death. I don't know, but something doesn't add up.
@@caricue the force that keeps Earth moving around the sun I suppose is limited itself; the sun’s gravity depends on its mass, and it is constantly burning through fuel until eventually it will explode outwards and its pull will weaken. I read somewhere that stars are always trying to collapse in on their own gravity, all that is stopping them is the huge amount of energy pushing back (fusion). Ultimately you could say that fusion is an external energy source to the gravitational pull that keeps Earth in orbit, and that is not perpetual.
@@tacosmexicanstyle7846 You're correct that it probably wouldn't go like that with a star like the sun. It will become a red giant and eventually a white dwarf, or so they say, but a red dwarf is supposed to last for trillions of years since it doesn't burn its hydrogen so fast. It seems like it would not work in any case, but I don't know why, especially since the Earth has supposedly been orbiting for so long.
“The only thing that is truly perpetual is our search” is fr a hard line. Cause at the same time I feel like we are gonna become energy ourself in the future.
@svenm sandity Perpetual motion machines are machines that can work infinitely without an energy source.... If the rocket gathers materials as it flows through space it means it is receiving an energy source. And nanomachine cannot be considered a perpetual motion machine because it receives energy from the body, which means it has an energy source. What you have listed are self-powered machines. self-powered machines and perpetual motion machines are two completely different things But I do agree that nothing is impossible and maybe, just maybe, it will be possible in the far future :)
@svenm sandity yo I would suggest you check on your sources before you embarrass yourself any further. Just a quick search on Google literally says it in bold. Heck even this video's discription stated the defination of perpetual motion machines
what i told that science teacher ... the solar system .. proof ... 4.5 BILLION years ... the universe 16+ Billion years how much more perpetual would you like ... proof science IS wrong.
When I was around 12 I had a great idea for a perpetual motion car that had a magnet and a coil of copper wire in a wheel so the turning of the wheels would give the engine power. Excitedly, I told my mom all about my plan. She informed me that I had just reinvented hybrid vehicles.
About that same age for me, I "invented" a revolutionary propulsion system... I glued a permanent magnet into a piece of plastic pipe. Then glued in a rough electromagnet that I'd made out of a steel rod, some wire, and a 9volt battery. Then I added wheels! Lol...the idea was when you powered the electromagnet it would repel the permanent magnet and thus propel the "car." Several years later I learned about magnetic ride control on Corvettes.
@@petern.327 ok why do you don't hope they solve this issue. Don't you want to see all people getting access to electricity, water and good food. And ofcourse we can settle on other planets to accommodate all the population.
standford: Im making a perpetual motion machine physics laws: oh no you dont! (some years later he is on an other dimension and then he has to fight an inter-dimensional cosmic entity who wants to destroy the world)
This makes a lot of sense actually, the first law says you can't use physics and certain natural reactions because there's always an imbalance, and the second law says that energy will try to escape no matter what materials you use or how much you spend or study there will always be troubleshooting. Even if a perpetual motion machine was created that could break those laws it's going to be affected by so many other factors such as gravity and acceleration and aerodynamics, you name it.
Anyone with a child has encountered a perpetual motion machine. They constantly put out more energy than they take in. I mean... jeez.. One bowl of fruity pebbles and zwooop.. off they go for 4 hours. I eat a bowl of fruity pebbles and All I can do is nap.
PTNLemay its about thermal equilibrium. If A is in thermal equilibrium with B and B is in thermal equilibrium with C then also A is in thermal equilibrium with C.
The moving parts would still create friction against themselves even though there's no friction against the air. So for example the robot walking on the conveyor belt creates friction against the belt and the gears that turn the belt create friction when they contact the belt; this results in heat energy being created which would be lost in the vacuum due to entropy.
2 things. 1 - vaccum is not empty, only extremely low density. we know this because "vaccum space" has a temperature about 3 degrees kelvin. 2 - the machine itself is made of atoms, which will absorb some of that energy one way or another. for example, the heat can cause chemical reaction, absorbing that energy. or emit black body radiation.
They are called waves and currents and gravity and rays, so apart from building the apparatus, you get all the perpetual energy you need as it's already there. You don't need to surpass the natural input, you just need to shape it to your needs..
great video, as someone who loves math and botany at the same time, I would like to add that. It can be very, very difficult for a machine to generate and expend its own energy, but a plant placed in a jar or lantern can create a kind of recirculation by producing its own oxygen and then expending its own carbon dioxide. Of course, another point that needs to be said here is that this plant can achieve this by taking energy from the sun...
In the end, nothing can function without getting energy from the outside. Need to get more energy than they produce. If the plant is isolated from the sun, it'll eventually die.
Actually, it fires their imaginations and sets their creative juices flowing, and the failure can lead to important insights for those with wit enough to recognise such.
2:56 If the only problem in this situation is that the water won't fall back down, what if the tube continued a little more and that part was vertical, and if that won't work, what if something small and thin to fit inside the tube then the water would have to cling onto that stick and the weight of the water would fall back down right?
If the end of the tube was vertical, the water might fall out of the vertical part, but it'd also stop right where the vertical part starts. I'm not sure about that small thing. Is it moving at all? Or just standing there? Cuz I don't think the water would keep dripping down it.
@@bern9642 it is reality. Perhaps, there are some events that couldn't be explained by it but who knows there's a whole nother field to study that could explain the events and there is so much new to explore
@@caniget600subscriberswitho5 I mean science is the study of the realities of the universe. It is not the reality. Science is the systematic study of the universe using the scientific method. It is not the universe.
Hope requires a conscience capable of feelings, humans who have those are limited to how long they live which is most certainly going to die out by the end of the universe, therefore hope is limited

If you consider the "Redstone System" as the code running in your computer's processor/s and being stored in memory, then the system is in fact drawing power from an external source. Interesting to think that the redstone's "energy" is just virtual - virtually infinite - though still limited by the physical energy which you can give to your computer.

I used to think like the author of this video until I learned about Nikolai Tesla. In my opinion, Tesla is the most important inventor of all times and he was a keen observer.
I was in shocked with the Tesla's statement saying that we do not need to burn fuel to generate electricity. It is the reason why Tesla went through several assassination attempts. The 1st attempt happened in 1894 when his lab was bombed.
People need to learn the true nature of the famous Tesla coil and its principle of operation based on what Tesla called "Radiant Electricity". That's right, because his transformer does not operate on magnetic field, it can avoid the energy limiting issues due to the Lenz's law.
Why don't you try to create the coil then? See what happens...

Doesn't the Earth perpetually go around the sun until the sun dies or an outside force pushes or pulls it? A plant around an isolated red dwarf might go round and round for a trillion years, right? You might not be able to get any work out of it, but it would go on "forever", or am I missing something?
@@caricue You're missing the meaning of perpetual (which is never ending or changing), even a red dwarf ceases to exist at some point... Literally nothing known is perpetual. As stated by thermodynamics, all matter tends to entropy.
@@joshbond8391 But if a system keeps turning until the heat death of the universe, that's as perpetual as it is possible to be. I just wonder if it is true. Would not the planet spiral down into the star eventually, or maybe the gravity would dissipate and it would spiral away? From the video, we know that it might actually work with magnets, but the magnets would wear down and lose their magnetism eventually (I think that is what he said). You seem to be on board with the idea that a planet could theoretically orbit a long lived object for trillions of years, as long as nothing outside perturbed the stability, right? I'm sure we are missing something, besides, it is not entirely certain that the universe ends in heat death. I don't know, but something doesn't add up.
@@caricue the force that keeps Earth moving around the sun I suppose is limited itself; the sun’s gravity depends on its mass, and it is constantly burning through fuel until eventually it will explode outwards and its pull will weaken. I read somewhere that stars are always trying to collapse in on their own gravity, all that is stopping them is the huge amount of energy pushing back (fusion). Ultimately you could say that fusion is an external energy source to the gravitational pull that keeps Earth in orbit, and that is not perpetual.
@@tacosmexicanstyle7846 You're correct that it probably wouldn't go like that with a star like the sun. It will become a red giant and eventually a white dwarf, or so they say, but a red dwarf is supposed to last for trillions of years since it doesn't burn its hydrogen so fast. It seems like it would not work in any case, but I don't know why, especially since the Earth has supposedly been orbiting for so long.

What my physics teacher said ages ago:
"does it have moving parts? Congrats, you failed."
@svenm sandity Perpetual motion machines are machines that can work infinitely without an energy source....
If the rocket gathers materials as it flows through space it means it is receiving an energy source. And nanomachine cannot be considered a perpetual motion machine because it receives energy from the body, which means it has an energy source.
What you have listed are self-powered machines.
self-powered machines and perpetual motion machines are two completely different things
But I do agree that nothing is impossible and maybe, just maybe, it will be possible in the far future :)

When I was around 12 I had a great idea for a perpetual motion car that had a magnet and a coil of copper wire in a wheel so the turning of the wheels would give the engine power. Excitedly, I told my mom all about my plan. She informed me that I had just reinvented hybrid vehicles.
But physics doesn't turns out to be so easy😅😂
Just to clear things up, the charging resists the turning of the wheel, so you cant charge infinetly
About that same age for me, I "invented" a revolutionary propulsion system...
I glued a permanent magnet into a piece of plastic pipe. Then glued in a rough electromagnet that I'd made out of a steel rod, some wire, and a 9volt battery. Then I added wheels! Lol...the idea was when you powered the electromagnet it would repel the permanent magnet and thus propel the "car."
Several years later I learned about magnetic ride control on Corvettes.

This makes a lot of sense actually, the first law says you can't use physics and certain natural reactions because there's always an imbalance, and the second law says that energy will try to escape no matter what materials you use or how much you spend or study there will always be troubleshooting. Even if a perpetual motion machine was created that could break those laws it's going to be affected by so many other factors such as gravity and acceleration and aerodynamics, you name it.

The moving parts would still create friction against themselves even though there's no friction against the air. So for example the robot walking on the conveyor belt creates friction against the belt and the gears that turn the belt create friction when they contact the belt; this results in heat energy being created which would be lost in the vacuum due to entropy.

great video, as someone who loves math and botany at the same time, I would like to add that.
