…ladies and gentlemen, I present to you perpetual motion.

The term perpetual motion, taken literally, refers to movement that goes on forever. However, the term more commonly refers to any device or system that perpetually (indefinitely) produces more energy than it consumes, resulting in a net output of energy for indefinite time.
your device may achieve literal perpetual motion after you jump start it like a plane propeller, but it won’t create energy.
That’s what I’m thinking. I just have to get the gear sizes exactly right. I’m buying a hand crank flashlight tonight, so I’ll post updates sometime soon.
loss of energy due to friction, dude. plus loss due to electrical resistance
i so glad we are all smart…there you go mom. i’m thankful we are all so freakin smart.
Skerbetz said something like that, but he said it might work anyways. I’ll see what happens.
how long did it take you to make that diagram
Now this is what I’m talking about!
Aaron is right. friction escapes as thermal energy.
oh, you should have heard jared explain his quest with skerbitz about that…
