I have a problem with my magnet motor design.It is based on a wheel continually rolling down a sloping disk.The disk is tilted up by repelling magnets, creating a pushing wavedirectly behind the wheel.The magnets are repelling each other okay, but will NOT slide easilypast each other.Is there a way to fix the problem?Thanks for your time.Mike Flanagan UKPlease see the model here:

Perpetual motion machine?Oh, how ideas persist.The easy answer is that it can't be done, by virtue of conservation ofenergy. The hard answer would involve really analyzing all the forcesinvolved, to discover that before a magnet can push, you have to pull abit (or something like that).Where'd you get the erector set?-- Tim WescottControl systems and communications consultingNeed to learn how to apply control theory in your embedded system?"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" by Tim WescottElsevier/Newnes,

Where do you get uranium for free? Or solar cells? Interesting. Name some sources, please.

Well, I'm glad that someone FINALLY did the math behind perpetual motion and put things into a proper perspective.

Speaking of maximizing efficiency: Maybe your motor machine will work if you put a ball bearing into the plastic wheel?

Sounds like you think you can use magnets only to generate more than enough force to overcome frictional losses. Sorry, wake up!

You have to apply for an exemption to the second law of thermodynamics.

We have one time licenses for this available for $999 each.
