Nice Link GTRfast. A quote from the link
Why do people continue to attempt perpetual motion machines when all laws of physics suggest they are impossible?
"My hunch is that they are motivated by their incomplete understanding of physics," Simanek told Live Science. "The perpetual motion machine inventors' view of physics is a collection of unrelated equations for specific purposes. They fail to grasp the greatest strength of physics — its logical unity.
"For example, the laws of thermodynamics do not arise by fiat. They are derivable from Newton's laws and the kinetic model of gases and have been well-tested experimentally … You can't simply discard one law you 'don't like' without bringing the whole logical structure of physics crashing down."
Yeah. I posted that link in response to EG’s claim that thermodynamics only applies to internal combustion engines. You found the specific few sentences I was hoping he would read.gruntguru wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2019 8:03 pmNice Link GTRfast. A quote from the link
