Perpetual motion machines - devices that can do work indefinitely without any external energy source - have captured many inventors’ imaginations because they could totally transform our relationship with energy. There’s just one problem: they don’t work. Why not? Netta Schramm describes the pitfalls of perpetual motion machines.

    Don't we sort of have perpetual motion though? Superfluidity has no friction so if you stir it it'll keep spinning forever. Don't know is that breaks any of the physics laws or whatever, but from what I read it'll never stop, and they can definitely be created.

    A few other things: 1) If a closed system could produce more energy than it consumes, then it would just infinitely accelerate until it.. explodes or something? 2) There is no way to actually prove that a machine would never stop, the same as there is no way to check beforehand if a computer program would loop forever or stop at some point (Tom Scott made a very good video about that)

    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...

    English: Even if it were completely self-sustaining, you cannot add or remove energy without changing the system, which would lead to a failure. If you take away energy, it can no longer sustain itself. If you add energy, the whole thing is pointless because you don't mean "perpetuum mobile" as such, but as a generator. E=0, i.e. E=(input=output) and thermodynamics don't play a role because energy is ALWAYS lost, be it through friction or something else, especially if you want to convert electricity into heat or kinetic energy. Of course, I can, for example, equip 2 disks with magnets and let them rotate forever. But you then change the initial situation by building a translation for the desired type of energy, which is absolutely necessary somewhere if you want to use things. Sooner or later the disks stop when the angular momentum ends or is stopped by the magnetic field and you need (relatively quite a lot) of energy to make them rotate. If something like this had already been invented to work, the Internet and newspapers would be full of it. Would be (almost) better than finally seeing a fusion power plant in operation. German: Selbst wenn es sich vollständig selbst erhielte kann man auch dann keine Energie zu- oder abführen ohne das System zu verändern was zu einem Ausfall führen würde. Entnimmt man Energie kann es sich nicht mehr selbst halten. Fügt man Energie zu, ist das ganze Ding sinnlos weil man ja nicht "Perpetuum mobiles" als solches meint, sondern als Generator. E=0 ,also E=(Eingang=Ausgabe) und die Thermodynamik spielen da nicht mit denn es geht IMMER Energie verloren, sei es durch Reibung oder sonst was, erst recht wenn man Strom in Wärme- oder Bewegungsenergie umwandeln will. Klar kann ich beispielsweise 2 Scheiben mit Magneten bestücken und es sich ewig drehen lassen. Nur, verändert man dann die Ausgangslage indem man eine Übersetzung für die gewünschte Energieart baut, was ja irgendwo zwingend erforderlich ist wenn man dingen benutzen will. Über kurz oder lang bleiben die Scheiben stehen wenn der Drehimpuls endet oder vom Magnetfeld beendet wird und man braucht wieder (Verhältnissmäßig ziemlich viel) Energie die es sich drehen ließe. Wäre sowas bereits funktionsfähig erfunden, wären Internet und Zeitungen voll davon. Wäre ja (fast) besser als endlich mal ein Fusionskraftwerk in Betrieb zu sehen.

    A 1 kg mass moving 24.26 m/sec will rise for 2.473 seconds (this needs 24.26 N * sec: 9.81 N for 2.473 sec) and it will travel up 30 meters. After it has been raised 30 m the 1 kg mass can be placed in a 199 kg Atwood’s and dropped for 30 m. This takes 34.97 sec for (9.81 N/kg) 343.10 Ns. There is much more momentum in the Atwood’s than is needed for the rise. Newton's second law of motion: states that in a closed system, not affected by external forces, the total linear momentum does not change. This line can be the line that is the circumference of a circle. The interactions in this line are the same as interactions in a straight line. If a 40 kg rim gives all of its linear momentum to 1 kg: the momentum is still conserved even though all the mass is moving in a circle. One kg moving 40 m/sec has 40 times as much energy as 40 kg moving 1 m/sec; but it has the same linear momentum. This means that the Laws of Physics ‘require’ that energy can be made from preexisting momentum. And this energy can be easily recycled. The friction is minimal; because this 40 times increase is done in just a few seconds

    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.

    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.

    If I’m not mistaken in theory yes perpetual motion is possible if no energy escapes since energy can’t be created nor destroyed, but in practice it’s not possible because with our current technology there will always be a source for energy transfer, even with out friction, some energy is transferred to sound, and heat just to mention two. There is simply too many ways energy can escape, and even if you decrease this to a fractional amount, eventually all the energy will escape. Anyways I’m never paid much attention in physics so correct me if I’m wrong.

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.

I always wondered why engineers did not incorporate this engineering into wind turbines

    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.

    The Power Multiplier Device: Open sourced, gravity driven, free energy generator: Functions as follows: There are two large sprockets, one on the roof of the building, the other at ground level. A chain connects both so that when one side of the chain is pulled down it turns both sprockets. On the axle of the lower sprocket there is another sprocket that connects to a transmission that is connected to a generator. When the same side of the chain is pulled down it turns the lower sprocket and the second sprocket which turns the generator to produce energy. This requires a downward pull of 2,000 pounds to produce sufficient energy. On the inside of the chain that is pulled down there is a small drive sprocket that is kept in place by two heavy plates, one of each side of the small sprocket, having the axle of the small sprocket going through each weight. On the outside of the chain there are two idler wheels above and below where the small sprocket is on the other side to keep the chain on the small sprocket. Two more idler wheels at the top of each weight to keep it attached to the chain. Each axle of the idler sprocket has threads for a machine nut so they stay in place as connectors. The axle of the small sprocket goes through the weights on both sides and extends out. A large bicycle-type wheel is placed on this axle and has a diameter of 7 feet. At the top of the weight on the side of this bicycle-type wheel is a small motor that has a chain around its drive sprocket that goes around the circumference of the bicycle-type wheel. Small motor draws energy from the battery to turn a large bicycle-type wheel clockwise, turning the drive sprocket clockwise also because both share the same axle. This has the drive sprocket climb the chain, taking the whole assembly with its 2,000 pounds of weights. Three things now happen: 1) The motor takes the assembly to the top of the chain with its 400 pound pull, taking 1 hour to do so, requiring the energy amount from the battery. Energy Expended going up. EE/up= 1 hour pull of 400 pounds from the battery. 2) As the assembly is climbing the chain, it's heavy weight (2,000 lbs.) is still hanging/pulling on the chain, pulling the chain down which turns the transmission/generator, producing a full charge of energy going back into the battery. Energy generated going up, EG/Up = 1 hour of a 2,000 pound pull by the heavy mechanism. 3) When the assembly reaches the top the small motor shuts off and the assembly's weight slowly begins to descend, pulling the chain down with it. Since it climbed the chain faster than it pulled the chain down, its descent will take longer than 1 hour for its energy generated down charge into the battery. EG/Down = 1+ hour of a 2,000 pound pull charging into the battery. EE/Up 1 hour of a 400 pound pull With a heavier weight: 1) The motor takes the assembly to the top of the chain, taking 3 minutes to do so, requiring the energy amount from the battery that is represented by the expression 1N. Energy expended going up. EE/up=1N. 2) As the assembly is climbing the chain, it's heavy weight is still hanging/pulling on the chain, pulling the chain down which turns the transmission/generator, producing a full charge of energy going back into the battery. Energy generated going up, EG/up=.4N. 3) When the assembly reaches the top, the small motor shuts off and the assembly's weight slowly begins to descend, pulling the chain down with it. This descent takes 10 times longer than the ascent due to the heavy weight of the assembly, and the low gearing of the transmission, it 'creeps' down. In 3 minutes going up, .4N was charged back into the battery. In 6 minutes going down .8N will be charged into the battery, replacing all of the energy the small motor expended. The remaining 24 minutes of the descent will charge 3.2N into the battery, Energy generated going down, EG/down=3.2N energy not needed for the mechanism's operation, free energy. EE/up < (EG/up + EG/down) = FE, or, 1N < (.4N + 4N) = 3.4N FE. Connecting another PMD with five times the weight, to the first one, having the lower sprocket be the small motor for the second one's larger bicycle-type wheel, will produce more energy.
