- Pulling yourself up by your own shoelaces eh?
33Arsenic rated 9 days ago- @droe82: What the hell do you mean "the laws of physics...have been broken before"? If so, we'd have to throw out EVERYTHING we know about physics and mathematics. The laws of physics are LAWS because they are mathematical laws that apply to the macroscopic world. Arguing this point means either you have a deep insight into something undiscovered or you are ignorant of the aforementioned laws.

- Oroborus. A sacred symbol of alchemy. It could also be an appropriate symbol for the futility of certain pursuits. (yeah a few things in my life of late come to mind that have been futile pursuits. Maybe this will be my next tattoo, just to remind me to BE AWARE... much like beware.)

- I like this site. Tesla is probably the only one to come up with anything close to a perpetual energy machine.

- From the page: "Inventors assume that since we haven't looked at every part of the universe nor have we looked at every possible mechanism or phenomena, we can't rule out anything. If one has faith in oneself, perseverance, and tinkers long enough with new and untested ideas, one may discover ways to thwart 'known' laws of physics.
Those who think this way are much like the child who puts two blocks in a box, closes the box, shakes it, then opens it, hoping to find three blocks inside. The child hasn't yet had sufficient experience with how nature works to realize that nature doesn't work that way. Perpetual motion machine seekers hope that by using some new combination of well-known materials and well-known mechanisms, they just might make a machine that outputs more work than is required to run it."
I'm not saying that I think perpetual motion machines are possible, but the laws of physics as people understood them have been broken before--the first time someone observed a magnet, the first time someone realized that energy can move through a vacuum, when quantum physics was developed, and so on. Not anything is possible, but some strange stuff that contradicts everything everyone knew before has happened. - From the page: "Inventors assume that since we haven't looked at every part of the universe nor have we looked at every possible mechanism or phenomena, we can't rule out anything.

When ya think about this it's really true!!!!
This was written by a black gentleman in Texas, so funny. What a great sense of humor and creativity!!!
When I born, I BLACK,
When I grow up, I BLACK,
When I go in sun, I BLACK,
When I cold, I BLACK,
When I scared, I BLACK,
When I sick, I BLACK,
And when I die, I still BLACK.
You white folks....
When you born, you PINK,
When you grow up, youWHITE
When you go in sun, you RED
When you cold, you BLUE
When you scared, you YELLOW,
When you sick, you GREEN
When you bruised, you PURPLE
And when you die, you GRAY.
So who you callin' "colored folks?"

- May even be capable of dissuading some small fraction of perpetual-motion inventors from wasting their own and others' time.
Imagae: Design for magnetically powered car; note that the chain is not involved in propelling the vehicle, but is simply part of the throttle linkage. - May even be capable of dissuading some small fraction of perpetual-motion inventors from wasting their own and others' time.

- I did, but it set it in my time machine and it zipped off to the future. Pesky Lightning bolts.

- ...and my personal favorite, "If perpetual motion were possible, someone would have invented it by now"
