I think you mean underestimating, and no he isn't. -- |

Quote: bob what your saying is that energy that force gravity produces is less then that heat energy that is lost. Correct. A portion of the energy produced will be in the form of kinetic energy (moving stuff around) by reducing potential energy. The rest will be turned into heat due to friction. Quote: it sound like you completely undermining gravity Not at all. Try dropping a heavy mass from a flying airplane. Even if you compensate for altitude reducing the gravitational force, the acceleration you'll get on your mass will always be slighly less than the acceleration from gravity, because of friction. -- |

Quote: Not only do pullies not reduce the energy needed, they increase it. That's right. Pullies require you to put more energy into lifting; they just make the work easier, not less. I have not been able to see this YouTube video yet, but based on the descriptions I gather from responses, it sounds impossible. First, with the magnets, I assume they are used to pull magnetic balls up some sort of incline, then drop them? Well, that wouldn't work, because the ball (at best) would travel towards the first magnet, and then stick when it was at the point on the include closest to the magnet. These sort of systems have been proven to not work. With the gravity/heat issue, I think you are misunderstanding what Bob is saying, piccolo. It is not that heat is a stronger force than gravity, just that it is a loss. Read Newton's Laws on energy conservation. Lets say there were 100 units of energy gained from dropping the ball...It would require X amount of energy to lift the balls again, plus you have loss from friction(heat) and other forces (and remember, gravity is fighting against you here now! -- it would take 100 units of energy to counteract gravity). The combined energy gained would be less than the net loss of energy, and hence, you are losing more energy than gaining. The Mythbusters built several machines that demonstrated this. -- |

weird the down time seems to be only for that vid edit this still work http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1woSe6UB0c8 and you can see the other on though web page link at the first post wow |

Just buy a perpetual motion machine on EBay! I imagine that the required AA batteries are charged..... yeah.. "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

Either piccolo is trolling or just has more eagerness than intelligence. All forms of man-usable energy on this planet, and I do mean every single form except nuclear power, can be traced back to the sun. Even wind power. And fossil fuels. Everything except nuclear power. You don't deserve my sig. |

Well, technically even nuclear power can be traced back to stars. After all, these elements were formed in stars by using their thermonuclear and gravitational power Also that thermonuclear power is not endless. In the end, quite a lot, if not all of the mass will be converted to radiation. Converting radiation back to mass is not that simple. __________ |

Hydrothermal vents are nothing but vents that heat water by geothermal energy, and geothermal energy in turn is the result of heat generated during the formation of the planet. Which in turn wouldn't have happened without the sun's gravitation, so we can attribute that to the sun as well. Though you are right there that it isn't energy collected from the sun, but the gravitational pull of the incoming matter converted to heat during earth's formation. You don't deserve my sig. |

That perpetual motion machine won't work. It's a closed system and there is friction involved, so energy is constantly lost to friction until it comes to a stop. --- |

i am very sup prized at the replys i got from every one. normally programmers would not respond this way. programmers work problems out and believe no problem is unsolvable. wow |

Ahh... magnets. If you align them just right, you'll get free energy! Honest! jhuuskon said: Either piccolo is trolling or just has more eagerness than intelligence. The latter has already been established. -- |

I'm not intelligence i'm smart and clever. intelligence just means you have stored knowledge. smart people know how to use knowledge the get. wow |

Ack. This thread makes me want to bash my head against a wall. Piccolo, you need to read up on some (very) basic physics and thermodynamics (it's not as hard as it sounds) and then come back with your head hanging in shame.

piccolo: Conservation of energy is "a mathematical consequence of the shift symmetry of time; energy conservation is implied by the empirical fact that physical laws remain the same over time". Any system (i.e. more than one body interacting) that is moving loses energy every time the different bodies interact because every real-world object has at least some elasticity and here on earth there are further costs of air resistance, friction, etc. Therefore, if it is possible to create a perpetual motion machine then maths as presently understood is wrong. That means you can't rely on any sort of scientific explanation (such as a comparison of the force of gravity to the weight of other objects) unless you can explain how you fix the error you've flagged up in the currently understood system of maths.
