In any case, the important thing to remember is that a true perpetual motion machine would be able to run at least that long.
A Crookes radiometer consists of a partial vacuum glass container with a lightweight propeller moved by (light-induced) temperature gradients.Ok, I guess this is the time to fess up. It doesn't work as smoothly as shown in the video. Although I think it works pretty well, it took a few takes with the camera to get clean shots.
With the exception of cases involving perpetual motion, a model is not ordinarily required by the Office to demonstrate the operability of a device. If operability of a device is questioned, the applicant must establish it to the satisfaction of the examiner, but he or she may choose his or her own way of so doing. [29] If this is released from rest, which way would it tip? According to the See-Saw Balance machine, it would tip to the left since the ball is pushing on the support and the support pushes on the left side. Nice idea, but wrong. Let me draw that same support with the forces acting on it. If you held the board steady, that support would be at rest and not rotating, so the net force and the net torque on the board must be zero. This probably is the diagram a perpetual motion person would draw:Statements 2 and 3 apply to heat engines. Other types of engines that convert e.g. mechanical into electromagnetic energy, cannot operate with 100% efficiency, because it is impossible to design any system that is free of energy dissipation. The first law of thermodynamics is the law of conservation of energy. It states that energy is always conserved. It means that energy can be neither created nor destroyed. Instead, it simply changes from one form to another. To keep a machine moving, the energy applied should stay with the machine without any losses. Because of this fact alone, it is impossible to build perpetual motion machines. Insert the 4 steps onto the cam shaft, they should be free to rise and fall. If they are stiff then you may want to sand the sides of the steps slightly.
The machine should not produce any sound: Sound is also a form of energy; if the machine is making any sound, that means that it is also losing energy. The machine must be operated inside a vacuum (no air): The reason for this has to do with the reason listed in number one. Operating the machine anywhere will cause the machine to lose energy due to the friction between the moving parts and air. Although the energy lost due to air friction is very small, remember, we are talking about perpetual motion machines here, if there is a loss mechanism, eventually, the machine will still lose its energy and run down (even if it takes a long, long time).
