PeteMorris Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 So, ok the original link to the video we have established is definitely NOT perpetual motion. I was thinking earlier. Is the earths rotation perpetual? I don't see it stopping rotating anytime soon. How does it keep turning at a constant speed, or is it actually slowing down? Hang on where's my tin hat....Ok..scientists...do your worst! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not perpetual motion (obviously) but I've always found Stirling engines to have a modest charm. You can even make a simple one yourself at home which will run off a tea light candle. .

maz-cooper Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 http://reedmagneticmotor.com/ So it's not fake' but slows down after a while then stops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootsBooster Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I hope you mean like an automotive engineer, or washing machine engineer, and not like a MEng IMechE CEng engineer, because that would be embarrassing after years of lectures about physics and the principles of energy conversation. I would hope you DON'T mean like an automotive engineer, I would hate to see cars designed by people who don't understand the basics of physics.

PeteMorris Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 No its slowing down. Why? Why is it turning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmaximus Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Why? Why is it turning? I think it’s to do with the interaction between the earth’s and the moons gravity. Gravity caused the gas and dust that formed our solar system to collapse and as it did it started to spin,some of the material formed the earth which continued to spin.

Conrod Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Sorry I'm no scientist, but to me, if it's spinning (once started, and a good healthy meal consumed ) it's surely producing rotational energy, which presumably could be used for something! My bold - no. If it's spinning at a constant angular velocity, it is merely conserving momentum, subject to losses from bearing and air friction. It would only be creating energy if accelerating.

Alcoblog Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Couldn't the expansion of the universe (and everything in it) be counted as perpetual motion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
