Question What do I need to build a perpetual motion engine?
I'd like to power my home and not have to pay to do it. So what parts will I need to build this perpetual motion machine? And schematics would be helpful.

Best Answer In the real world, there is no such thing as perpetual motion, the laws of physics deem that anything will eventually fail at some point. So much for academe. Solar power is about as close as you can get, along with careful consideration in how the structure is built to minimize its requirements of power.Things like building a subterranian dwelling will keep the structure in a closely confined temperature range, thus to begin with you would have a 'known' in the requirments for energy to keep a constant temperature. A simple solar hot water heater can be constructed by anyone out of common items for Home Depot. Water can be brought to a temperature of 180° just with direct sunlight. That water could be put to a lot of uses besides just having scalding shower capabilities. Wind energy would be a great supplement with the solar, and even wind can be generated from the heat the sun provides. What you would like to accomplish is not all that difficult and need not be all that expensive IF the entire structure is planned. Currently we are trying to adapt these same technologies to 'unfriendly' structures and some good success is being experienced regardless of this haphazzard approach. Starting to build with the goal of self sufficient desire makes everything quite attainable. Naturally any system would need to have 'back up' capability to supply essential power requirements at times the environment would not allow the solar/wind generation to function. Battery power is he first thing most would think of, but ancient technology could provide very efficient energy sources as well. An example is a methane generator. In its crudest form, nothing more than a pit where garbage is placed and left to decompose (rot). A perfectly natural process that provides a natural gas for burning. Anything from a gas stove for cooking use to a steam power plant to generate electricity is little more than putting a system in place.

Question Is there really a succesfull perpetual motion engine been invented ?


Best Answer no there isn't... not unless some ones finally figured out how to defy the fundamental laws of physics (which I highly doubt). Damn that pesky conservation of energy law!

Question perpetual motion engine?
i have developed a new perpetual motion engine for use in the transportation industry.how or who do i contact for help in development of this device?

Best Answer Snarky answer: you asked this in Engineering, maybe you should try in Mythology and Folklore instead. Real answer: try a local university. Find someone with some credibility in the engineering/science area to look over your invention and vet it out. Be prepared to be rebuffed with skepticism. Be also prepared to fully understand the concepts in the link below, and how your device manages to get around them.

Question What is that"perpetual motion machine" thing that sits on a desk, with 5 or 6 balls hanging by threads called?
It sits on a desk usually, with 5 or 6 balls hanging by a thread, and you pick the one up on one side, it smacks into the other 5, and the 4 in the middle don't move... only the one on the far side goes flying... then it bounces back, and again the middle ones don't move, only the first one you touched. What is that thing called??

Best Answer Newton's pendulum or Newton's cradle

Question Is God's earth a perpetual motion ball of water of varying biological life in a contained system generator...?
. Perpetual motion machines are machines that are supposed to disobey one of the laws of thermodynamics.......basically they create energy from nothing. Because the earth rotates, the outer core spins around the inner core and that causes the earth's magnetism. How is it that the field of gravity must be just right to contain atmosphere... block space radiations ...and control the speed at which the surface of our earth coincides with the speed of both inner core and outer core ....? The chaotic nature of a dynamo itself is so organized that it dumbfounds empirical sciences all the time. Is the earth heating up or cooling off at the center...? .

Best Answer No, lol

Question If I made a ball roll endlessly in a closed loop, would that be considered a perpetual motion machine?
Not free energy obviously, but perpetual motion?

Best Answer Only if the ball really continues rolling indefinitetly, without ANY additional energy from external sources, and does not lose any energy.
