Do not roll your eyes at what youre about to read. Please. This
article is about the theory of perpetual motion. However, its not what
you might fear: a misguided hypothesis with unsound physics
principles. Rather, it is an observation set in practice. After all, it
would be nave to assume that a human could devise a machine that
operates perpetually. However, I have, perhaps, noticed the perpetual
machine that has been working for millions of years and will continue
to operate for millions of years after were gone. It is my hope to use it
to our advantage.
You probably understand why ocean and wind currents move the
way they do. Simply, they move in either clockwise or
counterclockwise patterns based on their hemisphere, and they do so
because of the Coriolis Effect. We live on a spinning globe, and
(without writing an entire college dissertation on the subject) this
motion sets the objects on it in motion. Ill reassure you that this effect
is a law of nature, and an accepted fundamental principle in Physics.
Ocean currents, hurricanes, and tornadoes all move according to this
effect. The complexities of each of these phenomena are vast, but
each is an example of extreme power set in motion by the rotation of
our lovely planet. It is my hope to use this knowledge on a smaller
scale to generate one of the most efficient energy-creating processes
ever known.
With all that being said, here is my proposed process for a perpetual
motion machine:
But wait, theres more: adding wind turbines inside the system
near the water would allow even more efficient energy production as
the water will ultimately push the air as the whirlpool begins to form
and as the water falls from container to container. Add air ducts to the
system that connect to the air outside of the process, and, just like in a
flask, air will rush in to replace the displaced water and push even
more energy generating wind turbines.
Where should we get the water? Well, while it would take a large
amount of water to run the system, I would hope to (some way) make
the system compatible with salt water. The use of plastics in the
design would help minimize erosion, however, I know the more
particulates in the water, the less effective the design would be. So, if
fresh water was needed, pipelines from fresh water sources may be
used to transport water into the systems where water is less plentiful.
As I pondered this problem, I thought that the United States was lucky
to have five large fresh water lakes on the Canadian border to draw
water from without having to disrupt the drinking water supplies of
many communities.
The initial effort and work needed to create this device seems
burdensome, but the payoff is huge. If, indeed, the process could
repeat itself perpetually (or almost perpetually), the initial work to set
it all in motion would be well worth it. Just consider it a long-term
investment (those usually cost a bit more and require a bit more
patience, but have long-term benefits and are often considered the
least risky of investments).
Or
V = (3.14)(500)(500)(400)
V=(3.14)(15)(15)(32.174)
And to determine how many gallons leave the container per second, I
multiply:
&
Force=(mass) x (acceleration)
That is the force falling from the tunnel. The force from the water
pressure circling the drain may only be a fraction of that number, but,
by my calculations, would provide ample force enough to drive a
turbine dangling within the vortex created by the draining water. If
speed is a concern blocking you from accepting this process, I rely on
the creators of new turbines being designed in the green energy
market today that harness the motion of water in ocean currents, and
remind you those turbines (while not yet in use) could transfer the
power I hope to squeeze from this process. I also remind you that I
publish this idea in hopes of generating positive, safe, clean
advancements in generating power in the coming decades, and
encourage you to add to any of my proposals or improve upon them if
you see merit in them.
