Perpetual Motion Generators

(OP)
Hello,

Can someone please explain in detail the engineering principles behind how perpetual motion generators work and operate. Thanks for your assistance.

RE: Perpetual Motion Generators

I'm sure a few people would be willing to pay money for the answer to that one.

RE: Perpetual Motion Generators

Aw, come on now gordonl.... all those internet sites that promise "free energy" can't be wrong, can they?

The only thing good about those sites is their humor value.  The sad thing is that there are people ignorant enough to fork over their hard-earned money on such promises.  As it's been said (and proven true), "a fool and his money are soon parted".

RE: Perpetual Motion Generators

Badrul,

Have another look at the 2nd law of thermodynamics!

RE: Perpetual Motion Generators

And have a look at Milton Friedman's first law: there is no free lunch!

However, the perpetum mobile is physically unrealizable

RE: Perpetual Motion Generators

First, we need to realize that we never "generate" energy. We only transform energy from one form to another. You can never transform X units of energy into X+1 units. That's just common sense.
