HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	Perpetual motion science has lured many, with the prospect of immortal fame and fortune for centuries. There have been thousands of men, who devoted their lives in there pursuit. None have ever claimed the ultimate price for their dedication to the art, with a reproducible model. Many turn to fraud, since science is expensive, and often disappointing. Not to mention the goal was fame and riches. They could get both, until their secret is discovered. Most perpetual motion/free energy devices of the past century, have been scams from conception, and illusion to rob the rubes. Earlier attempts, were more honest, until they learned otherwise. Wasn't all a complete waste of time though, many things were learned. A few improvements in efficiency, and better tools and materials, useful for other machines. I've always looked at perpetual motion/free energy machines as magic. Sort of an intellectual challenge to figure out how the illusion was pulled off. How the inventor managed to slight-of-hand, add energy to the device, to pull off the appearance of running off energy it created.

How the inventor managed to slight-of-hand, add energy to the device, to pull off the appearance of running off energy it created. I have shared this video below here before. Seems like a pretty simple example of a small wheel built to spin perpetually using the repelling force from pushing 2 like magnets towards each other https://youtu.be/zqG-TL0WnjE The trickiest part looks like how they had to constantly move the magnets closer and further apart, in an ebb and flow, to keep the wheel spinning. So looks with every rotation a stick smacks a big magnetic bar further away to reset the spin cycle. I imagine if you built one of these on a large scale, the stick smacking the magnetic bar would be quite noisy.

The general usage of perpetual motion implies that something will move on its own accord. And example is a steel bar next to a bar magnet will rotate on its own accord. Basically NASA has built a perpetual motion rotor assembly. What people actually mean when they use that term is to conserve gravity as mechanical movement. Conservation of energy is not perpetual because gravity is an outside source of energy. And now we're back to the 1st law of thermodynamics.

Harvey, yes, fame and fortune have lured many over the centuries, but any scam will work for scam artists, whether it be Safemoon or perpetual motion or essential oils or Global Warming or whatever. Perpetual motion is pursued by all physics students, as homework assignments, research projects and all sorts of in-class thought experiments in order to teach thermodynamics and virtually all other topics as well. Some concepts just need to be thought through and the best way to approach many of them is to simply try think of a way to use the new principle to reduce entropy. Nothing drives home a lesson better than trying to figure a way around the 2nd law of thermodynamics. So when a physicist claims to have created perpetual motion, you can bet that he knows that it is impossible and is simply lying in his pursuit of the aforementioned immortal fame and fortune. HarveyH55 wrote:I've always looked at perpetual motion/free energy machines as magic. Sort of an intellectual challenge to figure out how the illusion was pulled off. Harvey, you have just described Global Warming, Climate Change and Greenhouse Effect (and ATE as well). Every time the topic turns to one of those, the conversation becomes a "find the error" puzzle. With Global Warming and Greenhouse Effect, the four-step process for pin-pointing the error is as follows: 1. Establish that an increase in temperature is being claimed. 2. Establish that the energy needed for #1 is created out of nothing by greenhouse gas, violating the first law of thermodynamics. 3. When the argument then pivots to greenhouse gas increasing earth's temperature through a corresponding decrease in earth's radiance, note that the argument now violates Stefan-Boltzmann. 4. When the argument then pivots to focusing on gibberbabble concerning infrared reradiation in the atmosphere and thermal forcings and other confusing non-science, etc ... loop back to #2 and repeat. HarveyH55 wrote: How the inventor managed to slight-of-hand, add energy to the device, to pull off the appearance of running off energy it created. Can we talk openly and honestly about Bessler's little hustle? Bessler's sleight of hand was in controlling access to the room. His wheels could rotate for a long time without slowing down noticeably so Bessler invited audiences to witness him crank them up/get them started ... and they were amazed at the wheel seemingly continuing to run for an hour without slowing perceptibly. Then Bessler kicked everyone out and locked up the room. The wheel of course, eventually slowed and stopped. No one was there to observe it. Bessler then insisted that they not return for a couple of months. Before allowing the same observers back in several weeks later, he snuck back in to get the wheel spinning once again ... and then he snuck out ... and let the original observers watch him undo the locks on the room and voila! ... the wheel was apparently still spinning after months! Bessler never allowed anyone to test the wheel independently, claiming that the engineering design would be stolen. Like any good magician, he didn't want the secret to be revealed. .

duncan61 ★★★★★ (2021)	I agree with ITN that the variations in the surface heating creates wind.We are in the peaceful spring time where the temperature variations are less than the rest of the year and it is calm.In summer the Easterlies howl as the Ocean is warmer than the inland areas so the warmer air rises and draws the cold air to the coast.I face due west at my local beach.around lunch time the wind will stop for a while then howl from the South or South west as the land has now heated and draws the cold air from the South.We call it the Fremantle doctor as it relieves the sweltering heat we used to get 20 years ago.The weather where I live is much milder than it was and this year we have had a long mild winter so we will probably have a cooler summer cos thats what happens in the randomness of weather

Maybe the Sun gains mass which it takes from the Earth. A possible explanation is that it's because of whatever gives gravity energy. Gravity is a force, not energy. You can't change gravity to other forms if energy. The only thing that comes close, is a water wheel on a stream or river. The buckets fill with water at the top, gravity pulls them down, the water spills out at the bottom. The wheel rotates a shaft. The rotational energy is used to perform work. Doesn't work without a river or stream though. Never enough energy to pump the water back to the top, perpetual motion style. Never stopped people from trying though. Your isn't the only gravity wheel idea. Gravity is called a force, because we can't control or change it. But, that's another entertaining pseudo-science, also pursued like perpetual motion. Magnetism is another force, but we do have quite a bit of control over it, and it's used in a lot of stuff. But, magnets don't have energy either. There are many perpetual motion machines, and free-energy devices, that try to exploit 'magnetic-energy', that of course, always fail as well...

Saltwater and fresh water warm/cool at different rates. Lot of dry land features are similar. We also have mountains, that cast some huge shadows. The sun is only shining on one half the planet, warming, while the dark side is cooling. Hot air rises, cooler air is sucked into the 'void', air moves... I also believe there are a few other things involved, nature has many subtle secrets, often dismissed as insignificant. Humans like to reduce everything to the simplest, easiest, so it can be controlled. It's a huge planet, with a lot of things going on, all at the same time. We can't really turn any of those things on and off at will, we simply try to ignore them, as we focus on the one thing we want most. We set up laboratory experiments, that attempt to isolate, or simulate, and believe the results must be the complete answer. Sort of why a jar full of CO2, under a heat lamp warms, so CO2 must be killing the planet...

I shared below 4 minute clip earlier. Did you miss it? https://youtu.be/H5xKS4lTzGY Basically, it looks like the force used to spin the wheel is pushing like magnets towards each other so they repel.

No, they aren't. All of these come and go. Our own Moon, for example, is gaining altitude. It's orbit is getting larger and slower. Eventually, it would reach a stable point and never move in the sky again. That is, it WOULD if the Sun didn't run out of fuel first, causing it to expand and destroy the inner planets (including Earth). Interesting theory. Please explain why any reasonable adult should believe you.

Wind is not caused by gravity. ALL of it is caused by uneven heating of the Earth. The wind blowing up (thermals), which offers paragliders "free flight," is probably the best example of uneven heating causing air particles to move from hot to cold. But the prevailing wind pattern basically moves from west to east in most of the world, except the tropical latitudes, where it moves east to west. There is not going to be much temperature variation moving eastward or westward, especially if it's over a long stretch of ocean or flat land. That should cause you uncertainty as to whether ALL wind is caused by uneven heating.
