Perpetual motion and unlimited energy have been the holy grail of the human race insatiated with available resources. Claims have surfaced and died as quickly. But that does not stop the endless search for endless energy. Some machines which go close to the ideal have been in the news.
Latest is the invention from Serbian scientist and inventor Veljko Milkovic. Under ‘ideal’ conditions his two-stage mechanical oscillator will output twelve times more energy than what is input, he claims. Check out the figure and details. It does look like the two machines working independently contribute to a perpetual motion, given perfect conditions. The Centrifugal and Gravitational forces work in concert to produce the amazing energy gains.
Interesting is the idea that the model can be scaled up to handle utility level energy outputs. Plus the appeal to rural life where the machine can help replace the manual water pumps!
Once the optimal speed has been reached by the swinging pendulum, very little energy is required to maintain it.
Now, the laws of thermodynamics prohibit the creation of energy out of nothing (first law) as also the ‘unending’ supply (second law which states that entropy of a system keeps increasing, or its capacity to do work keeps decreasing.)
How then can this machine be explained? Any explanations?
