Why Even Leonardo da Vinci Couldn’t Make a Perpetual Motion Machine: The Crazy Dream of Free Energy!

#shorts #energy #perpetual motion machine #wheel #laws In a world where energy was discovered and then promptly broke the rules of physics, the perpetual motion machine emerged as the ultimate dream of inventors. These contraptions, once set in motion, were supposed to spin forever without any pesky energy input. People throughout history, including Villard de Honnecourt in the 13th century, tried their hand at creating these magical machines, but they all ended up like a poorly choreographed ballet – they just stopped. Enter Leonardo da Vinci, the Renaissance master of all things, who had a love-hate relationship with perpetual motion. He roasted those who pursued it, calling them “seekers of vain chimeras,” but he also had a few designs of his own. Talk about playing both sides! But alas, the laws of thermodynamics put a damper on these perpetual motion dreams. The first law says you can’t get more energy out than you put in, and the second law says that entropy always increases, which means energy gets spread out and wasted. So, unless you’re okay with your machine eventually winding down like a broken toy, you’re out of luck. Despite these setbacks, people still tried to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes. The Royal Society even has a “perpetual motion machine” that’s been spinning for decades, but it’s a secret how it works. Maybe it’s powered by tiny hamsters or fueled by the tears of disappointed inventors. Who knows?
