From the perspective of a lifetime, one could consider the earth's motion to be perpetual. By the time it stops, I can assure you that there will be on one around to care. From a physics perspective, I fully understand the literal definition of "perpetual motion," and I fully understand why such is not possible. I'm only asserting that anything capable of sustaining its motion throughout your lifetime is, from your perspective, perpetual enough...besides, what state do you think the earth will be in when it stops rotating in 4 billion years?
To be entirely honest, I would love to do something like this to give back to the community, but I don’t know what I’d do. Call me lazy, because I kind of am. That’s what we have Inquerity for. Thanks again.
It should be mentioned that like the moon even a planet with no liquid water, liquid methane, or any "ocean" at all still experiences tidal pull from the sun or from whatever it orbits. Even if there are no gases or any atmosphere. So imagine a planet that's just rock. There is a gravitational pull on that rock. That also creates heat is some small degree at least. In the case of some rocky planets and moons that gravitational Tidal pull is enough to create enough heat to melt that rock, causing the core of the planet to be molten. Sometimes that pull and squeeze is enough to cause volcanic activity, such as on Jupiter's moon Io. Even it the tidal pull doesn't cause enough heat to cause lava, there is still some heat lost.
While it is not a (pure) perpetual motion machine, it is pretty close. I mean if we were able to create a machine that goes for billions of years with out power, it would be a success in my view.

@Inquerity I'd say 100% perfect. It doesn't seem there is a fundamental limit aside from 100% efficiency. You can get arbitrarily close to full efficiency.
seeing as how time only exists as construct within our universe, which itself is a perpetual motion machine. though the earth may or may not be destroyed one day, it will continue moving, forever, never resting.
Actually, I thought you were going to point out that space is not a perfect vacuum and that that would slow down earth's orbit around the sun. I understand that you were trying to rule out the possibility of using earth as a perpetual motion machine to produce tides to generate electricity here on earth. However, I thought it would be a more interesting challenge, because it would be harder, assuming a perfect vacuum in space, to rule out earth as a perpetual motion machine orbiting the sun and using that motion to generate electric power here on earth. So, suppose earth did not rotate, or even have any oceans to cause any drag. Suppose earth had no moon. But assume earth still orbited the sun. And still assume perfect vacuum for space. And assume a sun that never burned out. 1. Would earth not be a perpetual motion machine around the sun then? I believe that the only thing that causes earth not to be a perpetual motion machine with all these conditions, except for space being a perfect vacuum, would be particles in space slowing earth down. Am I wrong? 2. Is it theoretically possible to extract energy from this perpetual motion of a non-rotating earth revolving around a non-rotating sun in a perfect vacuum? Of course, by definition, the instant you extract energy from a perpetual motion machine it ceases to be a perpetual motion machine. Nevertheless, in the interim, how would one be able to extract energy from orbital motion?
The ocean is the friction that slows down the earth itself. This is elementary basics. You should have looked into a magnetic engine that is powered by a magnet spinning in space and using light powered by the spinning magnetic field used to speed up the spinning magnet and do not aim to make it last until the end of the universe just make it last for 1000+ years and create a substantial amount of energy.
I have a question. What about planets with no oceans? Like Mars. The time Mars need to complete a rotation is quite similar as earths (24.6 hours) and has no water, hence no tides? I know it may sound a stupid question but it came out of curiosity, not confrontation.
@GhostJeffy1 nah even if Mars was completely rocky there would still be a tidal effect on the solid. It would just be barely noticeable at all. Same goes for the land on earth btw. You may as well look at the solid underground as a liquid with an absolutely mindbogglingly high viscosity. There are still tidal effecta, they're just invisible. But crucially they will create friction, and there for slow down rotation as well. So you still don't get a perpetual motion machine.
So your basically saying that perpetual motion itself is impossible. IE running forever! But I think we got this all wrong. We don't need it to go forever! Just free energy! Who cares if you have to push it or turn it once in a while. It's still free! I get that it's still work but as long as you can use the energy that your getting for "free" isn't that already good enough?
But that would break the laws of physics. Any energy you put into a system will not create more energy. The most output you can get is the same amount of energy as the input.
@@Squirreled_Studio thank you for replying! With that being said I'm no scientist or no means know more about perpetual engineering or motion than you. But I do understand the basics of the 4 laws of thermodynamics. Just like you said in your video the earth can be described as a giant perpetual motion machine. It is slowing down because of friction. But its still energy. Now in my first comment, I said free energy. I should of said efficient energy. Not free, as in zero loss and only gain.
Well your muscle energy is not free. You need food to sustain it. Having to manually push it means it's not even free in the economic sense of the world.
The creators of life saw that perpetual motion machines were too overpowered so they nerfed it.

Very concise explanation!
Also a good little look at tidal forces; why objects can end up "tidally locked" and ejected.
Excellent video 😊
Nice video. Straight to the point.
Thank you!
Why are you so underrated!
Dude your content is great you need more attention

That’s actually a good point. How close can something get before it’s good enough to be considered perpetual motion?
@@Squirreled_Studio perpetual motion does Not Violate the first law of Thermodynamics. By saying that it purely says you don't understand thermodynamics whatsoever
Your Understanding of Thermodynamics are Fundamentally Wrong
Energy can Not be Created nor be Destroyed
Your Forgetting that The Energy is already there
The moon is Not slowing down the earth
There are NO Tidal Drift Equations ever presented to the scientific community in all of history
Earth is Stationary and the Stars are perpetual
Earth's Rotation has also never been proven
There's also No Physical way of Measuring the Speed of the earth
Like for instance that of a Speedometer in a Car
Earth's rotation has never been Proven
And looking to the Sky doesn't Prove earth rotation
It proves stars and the Sun and the Moon Moves
Also its widely claimed that at the equator of the earth the earth Rotates at 1035.20441 Miles per Hour
Or 15° an Hour
That has never been physically proven or Measured
Ever in all of human history
Gravity for the Matter of FACT has ALSO Never been Proven
There's also no Difinitive Source of So called Gravity
Now Science is Recreatable repeatable conclusional observable
Earth Rotation and GRAVITY
Doesn't = science
It really = brainwashed Stupidity
@@Squirreled_Studio this means that Earth is also Moving away from the Sun..?
@Inquerity I'd say 100% perfect. It doesn't seem there is a fundamental limit aside from 100% efficiency. You can get arbitrarily close to full efficiency.
Wait a minute.....so this process has been Perpetual for how long.
so what you're saying is there has to be something outside of this mechanism called the universe for it to work? INTERESTING.
seeing as how time only exists as construct within our universe, which itself is a perpetual motion machine. though the earth may or may not be destroyed one day, it will continue moving, forever, never resting.

what if there was a planet with no water, what would cause friction
Gases would cause a similar effect.
👍
Just know I ain't giving up on it...
Perpetual motion is maybe impossible but we can achieve near it.
The ocean is the friction that slows down the earth itself. This is elementary basics.
You should have looked into a magnetic engine that is powered by a magnet spinning in space and using light powered by the spinning magnetic field used to speed up the spinning magnet and do not aim to make it last until the end of the universe just make it last for 1000+ years and create a substantial amount of energy.
do galaxies also slow down?
so in other words the tidal machine you built will slow the earth's rotation?! 😳
A little bit, as it would create more friction with the ocean.
I have a question. What about planets with no oceans? Like Mars. The time Mars need to complete a rotation is quite similar as earths (24.6 hours) and has no water, hence no tides?
I know it may sound a stupid question but it came out of curiosity, not confrontation.
I think the air (what ever gas is on mars IDK)might cause friction
@GhostJeffy1 nah even if Mars was completely rocky there would still be a tidal effect on the solid. It would just be barely noticeable at all. Same goes for the land on earth btw.

Well your muscle energy is not free. You need food to sustain it. Having to manually push it means it's not even free in the economic sense of the world.
not the earth. no its nothing. the entire universe is its own machine.
When will we run out of gravity? Lol
I don’t buy it 😂 how can we be so sure with out proper evidence ?
