The continuing reports (on various alternative energy sites) about RAR having recently demonstrated overunity in Brazil, are provocative... but nothing more than rumor. Should we wait to explore the ramifications of perpmo - until it is fact?
Nah. Why wait? It was always obvious to the contrarian that everything at the atomic and molecular level is in perpetual motion, as is everything at the cosmological level, so why the hell should a well-constructed machine be forbidden, other than the fact that none have made the grade thus far? "Never mind a theory - let's stick to lack of results." It will not be obvious at first why paired-pelotas in the video below, consisting of two steel ball bearings welded together is also provocative. The two are a metaphorical cooper-pair, so to speak... raising another weird question: is there something about spherical-pairing alone, which is special - at any level? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvq8laPb498 In alternative energy - we are always looking out for "carrier" processes which are so efficient that they can be bootstrapped with "something else" which is very slightly gainful in a hidden way- so as to present an arguable case for overunity and/or perpetual motion in a more visible way. Impossible? Perhaps, but that will not stop tinkers from trying. And the recent reports of success in Brazil gives hope that this feat has already been achieved on a grand scale, with or without Harry Tuttle. That machine supposedly harnesses gravity - but another option for perpmo is ZPE. The welded spheres are probably amenable to ZPE coupling (to be explained) even if there is nothing special in the cooper pair geometry itself. A pendulum is the classic case of high-Q oscillation using gravity. Tuning forks are another high-Q oscillator using mechanical tension - and they can have quality factors around 1000 but the mass-in-motion is not high. The RAR machine would have a low-Q but high momentum, so we may be talking about the importance of a cross product. Moreover - the 'noise' of a tuning fork is 'work' of a sort and a Q of 1000 when partial damping is present can lead to perpetual motion, to the extent that the radiated damping energy can reflected efficiently back to the oscillator. Thus a "room of tuning forks" can have a Q which is much higher than the sum of units - despite the lack of efficient coupling. This comes up periodically here. Since the frequency of tuning forks is high compared to a pendulum, and since coupling of energy is often better accomplished at high frequency (especially ZPE) higher is preferable. And a pendulum can have high momentum and high Q but only low frequency. In one case, a pendulum in a vacuum was shown to have a Q of 10,000,000 but the frequency was only around one Hertz. The Q of perpetual motion is infinite of course, and even giga-Q falls short. Anyway, the point is that there are three important parameters which together can point to perpetual motion on the macroscale. Q, Mo, and L (lambda) An ideal "facilitator" for perpetual motion would have all three parameters as high as possible - and the hurricane balls in the above video look interesting for that, since they should be amenable to having 1) high momentum 2) high-Q and 3) high frequency all in the same package. Thus any small gain could push the Q to infinity. How can they be coupled to ZPE? - that is the $64 question. The hurricane balls are easy to fabricate as ferromagnetic and therein lies one route to potential gain in the sense of a Maxwell's demon, so that polarity can harnessed with sensors and feedback. However, it would be interesting to see if hurricane balls, made of a nanoporous material like Raney nickel would show any further anomaly - possibly infinite Q - based simply on having energy deficient cavities in constant motion. Would moving cavities be able to couple ZPE more effectively than stationary? It's a stretch, this ZPE-ram-jet, but far from the same level of risk as the RAR "factory machine" which must have cost an enormous amount. If and when it is shown to work - the floodgates of funding will open for this once unspeakable reality: perpetual motion (on the macro scale). Be there or B^2, as they say.
