Mithfindel Amarr Ordo Crucis Argenteus	Posted - 2007.09.15 15:48:00 - [1] The technology running the cluster works only on Windows. 'nuff said.
Banana Torres The Green Banana Corporation	Posted - 2007.09.15 15:54:00 - [2] If CCP didn't use windows no light would get into their offices. So they would suffer from a vitamin D deficit. And you need vitamin D to have a strong backbone. And without a strong backbone CCP would cave in to the whiners and try to change the OS in a few days.

lofty29 Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.09.15 16:41:00 - [5] I always wondered if you could create perpetual energy from a dynamo which was efficient enough. Example - Dynamo linked to motor, which is powered by the dynamo. Get it spinning initially somehow, or use a burst of power, and if the dynamo was efficient enough you'd get perpetual energy, no? --- Project Mayhem 2
ThaMa Gebir Gallente Raddick Explorations Executive Outcomes	Posted - 2007.09.15 16:43:00 - [6] Originally by: lofty29 I always wondered if you could create perpetual energy from a dynamo which was efficient enough. Example - Dynamo linked to motor, which is powered by the dynamo. Get it spinning initially somehow, or use a burst of power, and if the dynamo was efficient enough you'd get perpetual energy, no? No, because of the resistance and heat in the cabling. You may be able to store it a long time but you would never have perpetual energy. ---------------------------- Confirmed heaviest member of RDEX........ Hah, no more hijacks here.

No gravity and absolute zero might aid things a bit in your quest.... In order to have absolute zero nothing can move. As soon as something moves it is not absolute zero anymore. P.S. with nothing moves it really means nothing, not even electrons around protons. Makes for a small problem, no? ---------------------------------- Currently pursuing a "deviant playstyle."

Having trained Thermodynamics up to level 4 I can give the three laws of thermodynamics in plain english. 1. You can't win. 2. You can't break even. 3. You can't even stay out of the game. And that is why perpetual motion machines will never work. POST WITH YOUR ALT! The Shame o' The Galaxy

Example - Dynamo linked to motor, which is powered by the dynamo. Get it spinning initially somehow, or use a burst of power, and if the dynamo was efficient enough you'd get perpetual energy, no?

Example - Dynamo linked to motor, which is powered by the dynamo. Get it spinning initially somehow, or use a burst of power, and if the dynamo was efficient enough you'd get perpetual energy, no? If there was a motor which had 100% efficiency, a dynamo with 100% efficiency and no losses in between it'd work fine. Although as others have pointed out you cannot make neither a motor nor a dynamo with 100% efficiency due to the world we live in. Edit: spelling
Del Narveux Dukes of Hazard	Posted - 2007.09.15 19:22:00 - [18] yeah, even in a frictionless environment a 100% efficient dynamo is impossible...youre basically leeching off some force to generate the current _________________ [SAK] Alumnus--And Proud Of It! -- aka Cpt Bogus Is that my torped sig cloaking your base?

No, because of the resistance and heat in the cabling. You may be able to store it a long time but you would never have perpetual energy. No gravity and absolute zero might aid things a bit in your quest.... Gravity isn't helpful for perpetual motion, because it effects both sides of your machine. That is, it may drag one side of your wheel down to help you, but it's also dragging the other side down to hinder you. ------ Originally by: CCP Prism X There's no such thing as playing too much EvE! You all obviously need more accounts!

Rana Ash Minmatar Aeon Trinity	Posted - 2007.09.15 21:22:00 - [21] So what happends if you break the laws of thermodynamics?. Is there a fine or something?, is there are thermodynamics police?.. Inquiring minds wants to know ¦on Trinity is recruting, inquire within for details lyret dedreen

Amarria Black Clan Anthraxx	Posted - 2007.09.16 03:03:00 - [28] Originally by: Oedus Caro What about the so-called zeroth law? Hmm... in plain English, would the 0th law be, "We're playing a game,"? (And yes, I'm aware of what the 0th law actually is, a statement of the equality of heat across multiple systems.)
LemonHamster	Posted - 2007.09.16 03:28:00 - [29] If you created a 100% efficient wheel/energy storing setup, all it could do was perpetually STORE energy. You would not have perputual energy, because you would only be able to get out the energy you put into it in the first place, before your method of extraction removed the energy and caused the device to cease working. Hamsters lol amirite _____________ NYAH ^_^

You would not have perputual energy, because you would only be able to get out the energy you put into it in the first place, before your method of extraction removed the energy and caused the device to cease working. Hamsters lol amirite 1. 100% efficiency is thermodynamically impossible. 2. Perpetuality refers to the input energy alone, there is no reason that in this hypothetical, that you could have equally absurb outputs of >100% the inputs. 3. Hamsters create more energy through burning them and powering a steam turbine than having them run on their wheel. Not to mention throwing a mittful of hamsters into a furnace is quite satisfying.
