Answer :

answer:It’s hard to say. I’ve tried building a few myself with no avail. I have gotten close a few times though, and that’s just tinkering around. The problem with permanent magnets in a PPM assembly, is that 2 magnets in close proximity to each other will eventually demagnetize on another. With that in mind, I don’t think PPM can be generated by any conventional means with permanent magnets. That being said, what would you consider a perpetual motion machine? I have a rather loose definition myself. If something can generate energy with no energy consumption for longer than I will live, then that’s good enough for me at the moment. Personally, I think any successful method for PPM will end up being much more complicated than we currently imagine. I hate when people say PPM is impossible. Whenever I hear that, I just point up at the night sky and say, “do you think all that is just sitting still?” It may very well be that the entire universe is one big perpetual motion machine, and that perhaps that’s how complex it has to be to achieve PPM. Since we’re no-where near being able to create a universe, and a few generations still before we’ll learn to manipulate gravity, I think any PPM we could create in the present would most likely work off an intricate design of step up transformers which draw a small amount of power, amplify that energy, and then recirculate it indirectly. Another method for achieving over-unity could be found in the field of superconductors. For the past decade scientist have been working on different formulas for YBCuO (ceramic material that becomes a superconductor at sub-zero temperatures). The material has taken drastic leaps forward in terms of the temperatures needed to achieve superconductivity. The goal is to find a formula that will superconduct at room temperature. When/if that happens, over-unity will come with it. Here are some links to permanent magnet PPM attempts on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ge2h8Apgd8&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M8ANcxPF7o&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_k2jTEuikA&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bssBAb6EzM4&feature=related This one looks like it works, but was later revealed to be a hoax.
