Hi,

This is my first time here and I would like to ask everyone a question. I know all the reasons why a perpetual motion machine would not work, but let's just imagine for a second, what if someone succeded in created a machine that would run forever using it's own energy and they got a patent on it and sold it to the right company how much would it be worth and what benefites and drawbacks would it create.

Thanks for your time.

Is there any gas that absorbs all light?

You know how when a gyroscope resists motion when it is spinning, well if it spins fast enough can it hover in midair?

Another question, do electromagnets have pole and if so where are they located?

Thanks,
Supersonic9

The first question:
Don´t know, but it would be pretty much. :D

Fourth question:
Of course they have poles, wouldn´t be much of a magnet without them. As to where they are located, that depends on the built of the magnet.

Where would the poles be on a selenoid.
And when you say it would be pretty much could you give me a rough estimate? Would it be over 10,000 dollars?

Thanks,

A selenoid? Sorry but I do not know about that, perhaps you mean solenoid.
If so, take a look at this page (http://www.free-definition.com/Solenoid.html).


The worth of a perpetuum mobile should be very high, about 100.000.000 $ or even higher. I really do not know, it would be one of the greatest inventions of all times, so I suppose you can set any price you want if you would invent one.

Does anyone else have any answers to my questions?

Thanks,

I think a a perpetual motion machine would be worthless because you can't really hook it up to something. It would lose energy. It would stop moving....

Now some machine that would keep moving even when you suck out energy that would be worth something

Oh, you are right. A perpetuum mobile that would create energy would no longer be a perpetuum mobile.

But I suppose someone is going to pay anyway.

What is the difference between a perpetual motion machine and a perpetuum mobile?

Thanks,
Seth

The one is english, the other latin ;)

Would the idea about the gyroscope spinning fast enough to hover work?

If you were to create a "perpetual motion" machine there would be others that would copy your idea and make many other replications of it. So you might get something for the idea but then it wouldn't be worth much for then everyone knows how it works. Good luck for there have been thousands that have tried to develop such a thing but none to this date have suceeded that we know about.

Anyone else have an answer to my questions?

Price: a loooooot of deaths.

if you built a perpetual motion machine, you would be bankrupt within a day
seriously, a P M machine would put every energy company out of business, they would try to stop themselves going bankrupt by destroying you first

Gagarin, what do you mean a lot of deaths?

Supersonic9

Alain, but that would only happen if the machine created extra energy and if it did it would probably be so small it would be hard to use.

about your 2nd question, im pretty sure there isnt one found in nature, but i guess if you wanted to make one, then go right ahead. don't know what you would do with it though, especialy if it had its draw backs, like being a biohazard or poisonous.

Universe is the only possible perpetual motion machine. But, stretching the imagination a lot, yes, you would be destroyed by the powers that be, cost, your life.

I believe the precession of a gyroscope only works in one axis though, if you think about it, the earth doesn' alter much from its orbit and the solar system seems to stay in relative proximity to other stars so, I guess, we are sort of hovering here.
