Making electric energy is simple and fun, and yet not free.

  • On earth free energy is impossible, too many forces involved (friction, gravity etc.)... Maybe if you tried in outer space you'd be more successful ...

  • @AlexSakusuke Things seem to move in space for a long time. However if someone were to try and 'harvest' the energy from a moving object then it would have to slow down. It's not alwyas about friction (as this video shows) because when electric energy is created there are resulting forces that oppose it. This would be true in space as well as on earth.

  • @Starcross42 now that I think about it you are totally, a lot of interference there too. If only we could collect the energy that traverses our university. Anyways you sir are a great teacher.

  • @AlexSakusuke The efforts should be put on harnessing all the WASTED energy. The electric car that uses the braking force to charge the battery is an example. The energy captured from braking isn't nearly equal to the energy needed to regain the same speed, however it is a start. We waste so much energy and especially here in America.

  • @AlexSakusuke Free energy will be here on earth don't be so close minded, I hate it when people say somethings immpossible when they dont HAVE PROOF!

    Adios

  • @word777 Proving the impossible? Interesting. In fact, it is so difficult that when you write a Masters thesis you don’t PROVE your statement. You create a null hypothesis and then disprove it. Much easier. Example: “This will have NO effect”, and then you prove that it does have some effect. In physics we have “Laws” and we use them to build on, but we always know that any reproducible contradiction to the law makes it no longer a law. They give Nobel prizes when you disprove a law.

  • @word777 "Free energy will be here on earth"

    You gimme Free Enery, I give you Free Lunch.

  • @word777 ever heard of equivalent exchange smarty pants? not everything in the world is possible, there are impossible things too. also cheap energy=/=free energy.

  • In hydroelectric power water provides the rotation

  • @masster64 You're wrong. Even monetarily speaking there is no such thing as free energy. Consider an example where by one expends 400 cal. tending one sq. meter of corn. The corn on average will harvest 10,000 cal. of food. Does that mean we netted 9600 cal. from the sun for FREE? No. We had to expend the 400 cal. to reap the subsidized reward. Another example is a solar panel that takes 4 KW/h of electricity to create but over its lifetime produces thousands of times more. Not free, only cheap.

  • I think I'm feeling some magnetic attraction. Or it's just hormones. Hard to tell.

  • @masster64 Money is not worth anything just so you know
