Posing Question: Perpetual motion

nice.

Would you believe it, this appears to be on the lines that I was going on about

Thank god, I was beginning to lose hope that this thread would be resumed.

Isn't planetary orbits perpetual motion?

Wrong context.

Would you believe it, it doesn't work:-

So, last Friday a number of people turned up at the museum and were told that the demonstration would have to be postponed, indefinitely

A technical problem caused by the heat of the lights, my left buttock.

Even Hans Zarkhov never propsed such a thing.

The guys in charge are Irish. You may draw what conclusions from that you will.

Is this perpetual motion, or deja vu :p

This thread is perpetual motion, albeit slow and pointless.

And you have to put in more energy than you get out.

Actually, there is no output energy... merely more g00nish behavior.

I beg to differ. John Lydon said that Anger is an energy, and this thread makes me angry. Rargh:mad:

Only 6 years ago, the highest known superconductivity temperature
was very cold - around 30 degrees above absolute zero (That is Kelvin degrees,
and is also around -400 degrees Fahrenheit). Recently discovered materials
have brought that temperature up to about 125 degrees above absolute zero, or
around -230 degrees Fahrenheit

i don't know how old that magazine was, but there have been ceramic-based superconductors in that temperature range since i was in grade school, and i am 34.

Re: Posing Question: Perpetual motion
Uh dude, the Earth is not the center of the Universe. (lol @ description )

well since the universe wraps around on itself, every point in it is the center.
Also, since Relativity states that all motion is relative, i can honestly say the universe revolves around me.

So the moon's spinning... still forever...

not only is the moon's spin still slowing down, but so is the Earth's, by a measurable amount each year. Angular motion produces gravitons which saps energy away. You also have an energy exchange from photons and space dust.

It is a simple matter to make a low-temperature oscillator that will in fact oscillate until you remove it from the icebox. All you need is a coil and a capacitor. This experiment was done on one of the older space shuttle missions.

Don't quote me out of context, Orwell. :)

And I'd like to apologize for my "tone" in the previous posts in this thread. I must have been going through a particularly bad phase at the time.

i wonder how i managed to accidently quote your avatar.

The universe is all lies.

Gahh. .why do I read this stuff??

Funny.
