Hey guys, I think this is my first offical thread but I've been on and off these forums as well as a few physics type forums and when ever anything is stated about any kind of perpetual motion the idea obviously won't work and then the idea is not considered anymore.
My theory about this is that we see perpetual motion as somthing that is either 'on' or 'off'. There is no in-between. But, there is in fact this in-between perpetual motion. If you think about it, it makes sense. For example, if you have a bucket with 10 small holes in the bottom and you capture some of the water say from 3 of the holes and put it back in the bucket, doesn't seem that the time it takes for all of the water to drain would be longer than if some of the water is reused. I know this analogy is not the best. but a practical example could be alterators in the wheels of an electric car. It may not keep the car running forever, but it could definately help the car run longer?
So just like its impossible to reach the speed of light, yet it is possible to get very close (99.99%), maybe its possible to get closer and closer to making a 'perpetual machine'?
