People keep saying this project is a fraud, but I literally can't see any reasons why this wouldn't work.

It's all in the site.

We will build in Porto Alegre, at Av. Patria, 195 - a power generator that started by a
mechanic system, and exclusively powered by the gravity force.
It will be the first equipment with this technology in the world.
We have a small machine for experience and testing in our headquarter at Av. Pedro
Ivo,933. The mechanic system was created under a special conception, to pick up and
take the energy contained in the planet gravity, at any moment and place, without
pollution or heat. Technology was completely developed by our Company and consists
in a continuos movement with some extra energy that can be taken, in a continuous
and perpetual mechanic movement. This equipment is similar to a combustion engine,
where a set of wheights represent the fuel and pistons that activate assemblies connected
to a crankshaft. Another similar equipment will be built in the U.S.A. at the Incobrasa
Industries Ltd plant, a Company of the group, located in Gilman, IL. Both equipment
are demonstration models with capacity to generate 30 KW, and will be ready in the
middle of the next year. The technique allows the building of great power generators.

The problem with using perpetual motion as energy sources is that not only can it not LOSE energy (thus staying in motion) but it has to CREATE energy that you can skim off the top.

Even if you created a perpetual motion machine, as soon as you took energy from it to power your Facebook Machines, it would never replace that energy.

>> No.6101383

>powered by the gravity force
You've said enough. You've proved that you didn't know the difference between force and power. Just because gravity provides a constant force doesn't mean it is a constant source of power. There's plenty of way you can can teach yourself the difference, like wikipedia. Go do this.

>> No.6101385

>>6101359
That's not going to be a convincing argument to a perpetual motion crank. If they know what energy is, they'll convince themselves there's a source of energy of some sort.

Anyway, you should be able to design a perpetual motion machine powered by the expansion of the universe, if you build it on a big enough scale, and our current cosmology is right.

With professors of physics talking about time travel and infinite alternate universes and being taken seriously, it kind of sets a bad example.

Seems even in an expensive electricity are it would take 30 years to generate 100,000$, but the advantage of solar is the parts to build it is just steal and very common. There may be more efficiency gains on larger scaling as well. Seems if you mass manufactured these things the price could easily be less than a car a much more complicated machine.

i didn't read the thread but i think the idea is kind of interesting in another perspective.
you can harness a machine that abuses the gravity to extract energy from the SUN<->EARTH system.

1. the sun is above the machine. A huge weight is lifted towards the sun. Earths gravity is slightly reduced by the suns gravity
2. Wait half a day
3. The sun is under the machine. let the weight drop and extract energy for the next run + the profit from the now added sun gravity.

this should work, i wonder if earths momentum or earths rotational energy is extracted

Wow that's actually interesting.

At first I was writing something about how obviously wrong your post was, but then I thought about it some more.

It would of course be a very tiny amount of energy, but the work we'd have to do in raising the object would be (E-S)
where E and S are the work from the earth and sun on the object moved by a distance 'd'. and the amount of energy we would get out of letting it fall down after half a day would be E+S

so you could actually extract (E+S) - (E-S) = 2S energy from this..

However, we'd also have to wonder if the amount of energy you get out (2S) is smaller than the energy lost in the conversion into useable energy.

I will try to be explain in a simple way for you. When the ball is on the lower opening it have the weight of all the water column over it making pressuring it downward and this force is much stronger than the buoyancy of all the balls in the water.

no sorry. but you are the idiot. the main force is NOT cause by the one ball that is entering the waterbath. it is caused by the balls already fully inside it. These do have bouyancy force acting on them. enought to move the whole system and pull the bottom ball into the tank.

>>6103044

>>6103059
There is a way to overcome it, and it is by spending more energy on it than you take from the system.

The buoyancy is based on the volume of the balls and it can't be greater than the water column weight. Unless you get a water column with negative weight.

>> No.6103074

>>6103059
the weight of the column is immense. take the volume of an individual bouyant sphere in your device. Because water must not leak out, you must lift _the entire column of water_ by this volume, spread out over the cross sectional surface area of the column, in order to get a single sphere into the device.

If you play around with the math, you will see that you will always run into limits that keep you from doing this, no matter what the ratio of radii is, or how many balls versus how deep the column is, etc.. etc..

you also need to have balls that wont collapse under pressure at the bottom of the tank, which will quickly cut down on their bouyancy as well.

>> No.6103079

that is all based on one wrong assumption: this is NOT a closed system. there is force that is coming from the gravity outside it/the bouyancy is powered from outside of the system...
