Sir George Biddell Airy PRS KCB (27 July 1801 – 2 January 1892) was an English mathematician and astronomer, Astronomer Royal from 1835 to 1881. His many achievements include work on planetary orbits, measuring the mean density of the Earth, a method of solution of two-dimensional problems in solid mechanics and, in his role as Astronomer Royal, establishing Greenwich at the location of the prime meridian. His reputation has been tarnished by allegations that, through his inaction, Britain lost the opportunity of priority in the discovery of Neptune.


His assertation that perpetual motion is achievable has not been refuted.
Can anyone do more than plea that a preceeding established law is legitimate basis for disregarding his observation?

Perpetual motion is possible.

The problem is energy comes from friction.

>> No.3018688

I don't get his method too technical for me.

Any summaries on that guy's idea how to do this?

>> No.3018687

That claim makes no sense.

He's basically saying that if there's no friction in an environment and force is acting on an object at certain times, the object will do work.

Well no shit. Good luck finding an environment with no friction though.

Finding a way to violate conservation of energy would basically be like finding a random glitch in the universe. There's nothing pointing to the idea of energy not being a constant, so there doesn't seem to be anywhere to even start looking.

The increase of entropy over time is probabilistic. Something with reverse entropy would, by definition, have more possible future states in which it is organised than possible future states in which it is not. Sounds unlikely, but at least it's a more reasonable goal than trying to pipe sub-unity systems tether in the hopes of achieving over-unity.

But if just know a little physics, the argument against perpetual motion is pretty clear.

First law of thermodynamics: energy is conserved.

Second law of thermodynamics: entropy increases in time. This means that not only can you not turn random, internal energy into a net external energy, but external energy is lost as internal energy over time.

In Airy's paper, he shows that a force, obeying a certain characteristic, may be able to produce perpetual motion. No such force exists, however, and we are left to conclude that perpetual motion is impossible.

About the first law:
Exactly, "energy" is always the same (BY FUCKING DEFINITION), it's an abstract mathematical device used to ease the calculations about the interactions of physical bodies.
The second law is irrelevant.
As the first law states, "energy" remains the same, it's all a matter of defining useful energy against useless energy (that's the center of the second principle).
The true meaning of the principle is that you cannot control the position and velocity of ll the matter in the universe (for example, if there's only you and another guy in space and you want him to travel in a direction at a certain speed, you'll have to push him, but you will stat moving too, in the opposite direction).
So yeah, entropy is all a matter of defining useful vs. useless "energy", and reminding us we can't control everything. A good life lesson, which also raises the question, does free will exist? No, by definition it does not, then how can we define useful from useless? we're just part of it.

About perpetual motion:
What do you guys intend with perpetual motion? I can't be arsed to look up the definition.
If you mean something moving forever, we all know that is possible, all matter in the universe is moving forever.
If you mean something moving AND transferring energy to something else forever, that is also possible, but the amount of energy transferred will act like a negative exponential, tending to 0 over time (never reaching it though).
If you mean something that "creates energy out of nothing", well that is, BY DEFINITION OF ENERGY, impossible. If we ever found something that behaves like that we should just make a correction to the definition of the energy related to that body.

That's it for today. I don't want to blow you guys minds with too much Truth. Bye.

I know this is stupid but when a magnet passes over a coil of wires it generates electricity right, but where does the electricity come from? Does the magnet loose momentum/speed as it moves across the coil wires?

For instance, could you take a magnet, seal it in a vacuum chamber with 100% vacuum, and then use another magnet outside the chamber to levitate the one inside. If that magnet in the vacuum chamber had any rational spin at all it'll spin forever. Now what happens when you put a coil of copper wires next to the vacuum chamber? It'll produce electricity, but will the levitating magnet in the vacuum continue to spin for ever and ever?

The magnetic force will get weaker every time you do that because of Lenz's law.

>> No.3020452

Ok so the magnet will loose magnetism over time. How much electricity would a small magnet generate before it was completely demagnetized?

For instance, would a magnet the size of a finger yield more power than a triple A battery? Assuming it was easy to achieve 100% vacuum would this be more feasible than conventional alkaline batteries?
