      Don't we sort of have perpetual motion though? Superfluidity has no friction so if you stir it it'll keep spinning forever. Don't know is that breaks any of the physics laws or whatever, but from what I read it'll never stop, and they can definitely be created.

    A few other things:

    2) There is no way to actually prove that a machine would never stop, the same as there is no way to check beforehand if a computer program would loop forever or stop at some point (Tom Scott made a very good video about that)

    Perpetual motion machinery has always interested me, not because I think it's worth pursuing in particular, but because the field is a breeding ground for thoughts about how to overcome energy loss to the extremes. I don't want a perpetual energy source, I want to see a piece of machinery that is so efficient that ones interaction with could be so intuitive and low frequency that practically anyone and their dog could use them to make energy, in the future.

Would not the planet spiral down into the star eventually, or maybe the gravity would dissipate and it would spiral away? From the video, we know that it might actually work with magnets, but the magnets would wear down and lose their magnetism eventually (I think that is what he said). You seem to be on board with the idea that a planet could theoretically orbit a long lived object for trillions of years, as long as nothing outside perturbed the stability, right? I'm sure we are missing something, besides, it is not entirely certain that the universe ends in heat death. I don't know, but something doesn't add up.

      @@caricue the force that keeps Earth moving around the sun I suppose is limited itself; the sun’s gravity depends on its mass, and it is constantly burning through fuel until eventually it will explode outwards and its pull will weaken. I read somewhere that stars are always trying to collapse in on their own gravity, all that is stopping them is the huge amount of energy pushing back (fusion). Ultimately you could say that fusion is an external energy source to the gravitational pull that keeps Earth in orbit, and that is not perpetual.

It seems like it would not work in any case, but I don't know why, especially since the Earth has supposedly been orbiting for so long.

      The moving parts would still create friction against themselves even though there's no friction against the air. So for example the robot walking on the conveyor belt creates friction against the belt and the gears that turn the belt create friction when they contact the belt; this results in heat energy being created which would be lost in the vacuum due to entropy.

      2 things. 1 - vaccum is not empty, only extremely low density. we know this because "vaccum space" has a temperature about 3 degrees kelvin. 2 - the machine itself is made of atoms, which will absorb some of that energy one way or another. for example, the heat can cause chemical reaction, absorbing that energy. or emit black body radiation.

    I had this idea for a semi perpetual motion machine, we have two magnets having their north poles facing each other at a little distance, in between them we keep a hammer with two magnets on either end of the hammer facing outward, and we make a simple swinging system, so that one end will push the hammer because like poles repel, then it will swing to the other end, get repelled again and keep swinging (the hammer can be one made from plastic, so we dont need to consider the weight as a problem), i never tested this, so I wouldn’t know if it works, could someone let me know?

    • @mackerelmafia2898
      @mackerelmafia2898 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Ben-ub8ym It's a little bit more complicated than that. Nuclear fusion works by turning Hydrogen into Deuterium/Tritium into Helium (roughly), each transition of which loses some mass in the form of photons, gamma rays, and neutrinos. After the particles fuse, they can't fuse again with the same method. Of course, the Sun is sustained exclusively by H -> He fusion, but this is from a large number of H particles in its core as opposed to just one. Larger stars than our sun with hotter cores can fuse helium into heavier elements, but those reactions actually release less energy than going from H to He. I hope this answered your question!

Or does it just have a really long "battery life", so its not able to "power" itself indefinitely, just for a really long time? I know one day the sun will cease to exist but is this for a different reason? Or is it because it isnt powering itself perpetually therefore it will eventually run out of juice?

    great video, as someone who loves math and botany at the same time, I would like to add that. It can be very, very difficult for a machine to generate and expend its own energy, but a plant placed in a jar or lantern can create a kind of recirculation by producing its own oxygen and then expending its own carbon dioxide. Of course, another point that needs to be said here is that this plant can achieve this by taking energy from the sun...

Your computer won't run without a power supply and in turn won't be able to run Minecraft because your computer doesn't run in the FIRST PLACE! "then in turn creates your redstone clock that runs indefinitely" I mean by that that the computer gets power to display the redstone clock on your screen.
