When I read some of these responses I can't help but recall the tale about the scientist/theorist and the engineer...

In the auditorium of a local college a scientist/theorist and an engineer were invited to do an experiment. Both would stand next to each other at one end of the hall, while at the other end there would stand a beautiful swimsuit model. The first one to make it to the girl would get to marry her, BUT they were only allowed to move half the distance each time. In frustration for wasting his time the scientist/theorist exclaimed, "There's no way I'll EVER reach her!" and promptly stormed out the door. The engineer laughed a bit while he stood on the starting line, and mumbled under his breathe, "... Maybe, but I can get close enough to kiss her."

It depends on how you define 'perpetual motion'. At what scope and scale are we talking about? The way I define it we already have perpetual motion machines. Quite simple machines in fact. Ever heard of the water wheel? It's been in existence for some time now. It does matter where you plug the machine into the 'energy circuit', and there are some cyclical behaviors that have to be considered. Extrapolate the concept from there. What energy circuit do you want to plug into? Heat, electrical, magnetic, light, chemical reactions, nuclear reactions, etc?

You have to convert one energy source to another, so I don't think just permanent magnets alone will work. There will be coiling, plating, and/or chemistry in the process, mechanical breakdown to consider, and you'd probably need to put the machine in motion first (maybe). But these things need to be considered in all of our current technology/devices as well.

Forest from the trees, I say.

I hope you're continuing your research!

It's not possible to do a magnetic motor, for the simple reason that the forces cancel each other out.

Perendev says he used magnet insulators to remove the canceling, but that is not possible.

Why would magnetic interaction be 'balanced' unless it was designed with that in mind?

It's always funny when individuals presumes things not in evidence and then build their arguments based on misrepresentations. Where does Perendev say this? Can you explain what the problem with 'balanced' magnetic interaction is if the intent was to create dipoles such as those that are always created in every power 'generating' ( tapping really) mechanism on Earth?

If you put magnets moving against each other, they will first be attracted and then repelled. Then attracted again, then repelled again etc, everytime the movement will be smaller due to friction etc. In a few minutes, the magnets will have found an equilibrium and no longer move.

Who said that the magnets needed to move signifcantly or at all? If magnets are so useless why are they so widely used in generators.

Then attracted again, then repelled again etc, everytime the movement will be smaller due to friction etc.

Why is it then that almost all energy 'generation' involves induction trough the use of spinning magnets? What are magnets or electromagnets involved practically everywhere?

In a few minutes, the magnets will have found an equilibrium and no longer move.

Provided that the induced current isn't somehow being applied to spin the magnets....

Coiling is necessary. 2nd line.

i think this system is far more advanced than they let on,heard this magnetic engine theory years back.. always wonderd why fuel prices stared shooting up in price, always struck me as odd.. my theory is the big fuel companys are milking it knowing the writing is on the wall, and all of a sudden this concept engine will appear, just my theory

And when it does they will intercept and remove that concept engine in whatever way they can because it is a direct threat to their power/wealth base. It's far cheaper and easier to silence or buy off the threat than it is to change their infrastructure. They will continue to milk it, just as they've done for the past several decades. There may be other concerns for this suppression as well, but that's the main one.

This kind of tech would need to be distributed 'underground' all across the world for any kind of paradigm shift. So, for those who know how this stuff works, are you ready and willing to give up your hard work to the masses for free? Who wants to dodge some bullets? Who wants their job, pension, and life savings taken away? Who wants to be blacklisted? Who wants their family threatened?

Batter up?!

Conservation of energy, its the Law

Conservation of energy may be the law, but there is a fat asterisk at the end very few people seem to mention... "In a closed system".

But the whole idea of a closed system is only a theoretical concept. Build any device in your basement, and guess what... It's influenced by gravity, sitting on a planet moving and spinning at great speeds, and bombarded by all sorts of radiation.

Figure out how to tap into any of that or any of the other forces and energies that we haven't even discovered yet, and you have something that looks like perpetual motion from our point of view.

It's easy to say that something is impossible because it violates this law or that principle, but lord knows that people have been bending laws and breaking rules since the dawn of time.

I think it's just a matter of time before we hit on an easy clean energy source.

Magnetic "near" perpetual motion machines are a waste of time unless you're just bored and looking for something neat to do. It will eventually find an equilibrium and will not provide enough torque for anything. You can build a self powering electric motor however that produces more power than it consumes, only failing when the mechanical parts themselves fail. Think along the lines of a lever and you'll find the answer to how this is possible. It won't be the coveted perpetual motion machine because you'll have to physically start it up, but build one large enough with generator parts, never breath a word to anyone that it exists, and you can live electric company free.. =P
