      AGREED. Your comment is one of the few that I understand. There are a bunch of commenters talking about various things including something about a "patch" ....which I have no idea what they are talking about.
      The video was doing fine up to the 12:25 mark .....it was NOT A BIG FAIL !!!! IT WAS A COMPLETE SUCCESS!! Your time was NOT wasted. You merely confirmed there is no such thing as a "perpetual motion machine" as taught in high school.
      Now the take away SHOULD be that ANYONE promoting such a mechanism .....OR .....something along the lines of a "FREE ENERGY" device ......is a CON MAN .....a FRAUDSTER ........much like HUMPTY TRUMPTY. Follow the rules of physics. The shorter the statement ....the simpler the statement .....is what the LAWS OF PHYSICS are all about.
      When someone shows you otherwise .......they are knowingly trying to CON you ........and there will always be people who will be suckered in ......again, much like HUMPTY TRUMPTY.

    To all who called him an idiot, or some other derogatory name, you're too harsh. He's not an idiot, he's just curious. Nobody is born knowing physics, or anything for that matter; everything you do and know is learned over time. I commend him for experimenting and learning from it.
    @TylerTube - One of the main reasons perpetual machines cannot exist is because it is physically impossible to get more energy out of a system (mechanical or otherwise) than the amount of energy that "charges" the system. There are many factors that drain energy from your system including friction etc that other commenters mentioned.
    That established, it is my theory that the main energy drain on the system you made is the water sloshing back and forth in those bottles. What you've created is effectively a weighted flywheel. Flywheels store potential energy, and weighted flywheels can store more potential energy, using inertia. However, they also require more energy input to the system in order to rotate. At one point you commented on how quickly your wheel slowed down. I believe that is due to the movement of the water from one end of a given bottle to the other. That back and forth movement of the water consumed energy fourteen times per revolution in your system. Ergo, the energy you supplied your wheel is more rapidly consumed in comparison to your spinning the wheel at the very beginning when you were displaying the gyroscopic effect.
    If you're interested in learning a bit more about how flywheels store energy, consider watching a video on UA-cam called "The Mechanical Battery" posted seven months ago by New Mind. If this video was actually a joke and you already knew all of that stuff, then I'm the idiot. 😊 Have a great night all. 😁

Experimentation is what leads to finding things that we know now to be laws, and a hands on approach is often the best way to really understand something. Also, its good to take stuff like this as a warning, as reasonable as it sounded and people made it look, the people who experimented and the people who know the science were able to disprove it, so keep that in mind when you (referring to literally everyone right now) want to believe in conspiracy theories.

      I've always had a theory. What if you could have a wheel connected to a turbine, you manually spin the wheel once and the electricity created then branched off with one branch going to a device the requiring just enough power to keep the wheel turning. Assuming the necessary amount of power needed to power the wheel is less than the amount of energy the turbine creates, you theoretically would have infinite power

    Think about it this way: you've equally spaced a bunch of weight on a wheel, all you did is balance it. In order to spin the wheel, you had to put force on one side and then let it go to push it forward. By adding those bottles all you've done is add weight to the the entire wheel, like adding a tire, its changed nothing and gives no driving force to the wheel

    • @samael338
      @samael338 Рік тому

      It's almost like the added weight increases friction which is a constant force acting against the initial momentary force applied to make it spin. Thus friction will win every time.

    • @jakejones5736
      @jakejones5736 Рік тому

      Not exactly. Although the torque on the left side is higher than the right, the torque at the bottom is higher than the top. Both of these higher forces are in opposition. So right there you have a zero net turning force. Even so, there's still the various frictions that also resist the wheel from turning.

    Just think about all the forces at play and you will get an idea as to why it cannot do what you want it to. The main issue is you don't think about the friction the wheel has to deal with as it spins, that is wasted energy. Furthermore, whenever water is going down, the wheel is also raising the water on the other side which counters the force you put in. I am sure there is more to this so please correct if I am wrong.

    Funny video. You've been one of my favourite UA-camrs for years and I've recently started messing around and thinking about these concepts too. I know this wasn't meant to be serious but if you pause the vid at 10:25 you can see that 2 250g bottles are trying to lift 5 250g bottles & some weight of the wheel. The only ones pushing the wheel up would be middle and top one on the right. For this to have any chance of working you need to make the angle of bottles more rounded and matching the surface of the wheel so more bottles can push in the direction the wheel wants to move, as u can tell by looking at the bottom/left bottles they just push down and bring the wheel to a stop.
    A good way to do this would be to get a tube or clear hose, fill it with water and create chambers in the tube or hose for water to splash back and forward to create momentum around the wheel. Maybe you could offset the weights too so when a 500g is pushing down it's lifting 250 then another 250g then when the 2 250gs rotate and start pushing down that will lift the 500g up. You'd have to calculate the mass, momentum and include external forces like the mass and momentum of wheel/other bottles to make sure water can keep up. The basic idea of this machine is there's always more pushing and always is overpowering the pulling side.
    Pushing and pulling is based on the rotatation.
    Anyways, that's my input for your future videos and anyone thinking about having fun with these ideas. It'll be fun seeing you mess around with this stuff and doing experiments just for fun, not to be serious. That's how you end up learning and finding hidden gems, by not being so serious.

    If your interested in the physics aspect, there's a simple explanation.
    The law Law of Conservation of Energy
    Since energy can't be created, we have to put some of our own energy (chemical energy) into the system, and it will be converted mainly to mechanical energy in the system. Even here some energy is lost due to sound energy and friction (thermal energy).
    Then in the system you constantly lose energy to more friction and sound.

    Perpetual motion wheels don't work forever. This one could have gone for longer though if the water bottles were spaced perfectly.

You should try this again and evenly space the bottles and see what happens, just a theory.

      It doesnt move on it's own forever and it's got nothing to do with this being possible. It will work until it reaches a point of balance. Momentum keeps it from staying on a balance point but that momentum will run out eventually and when it does the wheel will meet an equilibrium and stay still. At least it would in a perfect environment. Things in reality are in constant motion nothing is actually ever stationary so there will always be slight momentum and the wheel will move slightly forever no matter what even if the eye cant see the movement. But this doesnt make it perpetual motion because it doesnt accelerate beyond the rate of everything else it stays what we consider to be stationary. Something being theoretically stationary is no movement whatsoever. In reality being stationary is moving at the same rate that everything moves.

    The reason this doesn't work is because of the fact that the water being further away from the point of rotation on the one side actually causes the center of gravity to shift downward and (in this case) to the right. This causes the wheel to want to come to rest instead of continuing to spin as if the center of gravity were on the point of rotation.

      Gerald Burkholder bloody hell, I know a lot of people commenting here are dumbbbbb but this particular comment made me want to reply, gyroscopic precession is something totally different to gyroscopic effect. Gyroscopic precession is the rotation of an object due to torque, as you can see in the short experiment in the video, the wheel is not only spinning along the axle, it’s also spinning on the string, that’s gyroscopic precession, while gyroscopic effect is a tendency of a spinning object to stay in the same plane in relation to the universe, AND I’ll also clarify here, as a lot of people seem to be saying it’s “not centrifugal force but gyroscopic effect” well they’re partially right, as in gyroscopic effect relies on the centrifugal, or rather centripetal force, the difference between these two is that the first one is the force acting towards the outside of the wheel, and the second is a force acting in the same direction as the current vector of movement of a given point on a spinning wheel. Please stop talking about stuffs you know nothing about. Thanks :)
