      Perpetual Motion Machines 

      September 04, 2024  •  EPISODE 229

      Is perpetual motion possible? Join Roger Billings, Pajét Monet and the ScienceLIVE Crew as they explore the laws of thermodynamics and examine intriguing experiments. Can we create machines that defy the laws of physics? Tune in to find out!

      About DrB

      Dr. Roger Billings is a visionary innovator whose work has touched the lives of millions of students and transformed the landscape of education. Widely known as “DrB” to the countless kids who benefit from his groundbreaking Acellus learning system, Dr. Billings has dedicated his life to advancing education through technology.

        I loved the technology section where it talked about how you can convert energy from gravity & different types of energy . I also enjoyed the Roger billings section where it explained perpetual motion using the drinking bird.

        So when the engine turned the alternator, it didn’t produce enough electricity? Do you think there would be a workaround to power the electrolyzer in addition to the alternator, such as solar panels or some way to give the car extra power?

        Hi! Skylar’s question really got me thinking what does happens if the bird overheats? But i’m also wondering what happens if the bird gets to cold will the water still evaporate?

        Why are the drinking birds not considered a perpetual motion machine?

        To answer the last two comments first. [Comment1. It currently isn’t possible for humans to harness the power of the earth rotating on its axis. Comment 2. My guess is the drinking bird will stop working or the liquid in the drinking bird would explode.] For my question, where can I get the tools to make drinking birds? They were so coooool!

        The livestream was amazing as always, very interesting. I can’t decide if I enjoy the facts about technology and its history, the science facts, or the explanations of recent advancements in technology more.

        How long do you think until humans can harness the power of the earth rotating on its axis?
