Machine to Die For is about the search for perpetual motion and free energy. Conventional science claims this is impossible, yet generations of inventors have been mesmerized by the promise of an engine that powers itself. The world’s reliance on diminishing fossil fuel resources and the associated problems of pollution serve to spur them on. A Machine to Die For showcases a number of dedicated, sometimes eccentric, and always obsessive individuals who have devoted their lives to this quest. The documentary could be used as a resource when studying motion and simple machines in secondary science and physics. It could also serve as a springboard for discussions about inventors and inventions and the history of scientific endeavors. It would be suitable for teachers of middle to senior secondary students in Science.

Δ Cesar - 06/09/2020 at 20:49 As Tesla state regarding the 3 phases of an electric motor, in order to harness energy from an electric generator would mean that each phase of the turn be supplied by an input of energy sources of which have an abundance in nature. The Sun produces energy as it burns and could supply enough energy in each phase to complete the turn needed to rotate an electric generator, heat, wind, and water would do the trick. Reply ↴ Fatmir - 03/04/2020 at 18:15 Today I have made public in video film perpetual system with gravity inside thermodinamics laws under name,Fatmiri gravity free energy. Reply ↴ Fatmir - 03/01/2020 at 20:14 If this days confirmation is positive from university than all the ingieniers of the world can to come to my country to take model of prototipe or to copy model os perpetual system,simply i dont want to patent this discovering in name opf Bhascara and all popular scientist and individs around the world. Reply ↴ Fatmir - 02/29/2020 at 16:31 I am waiting confirmation from enginering university work of perpetul system inside the thernodinamics laws ,the system will produce max 10 MW,The system dont need any source to started them he is autonom system . Reply ↴ Fatmir - 02/15/2020 at 17:16 For 20 years I have done 7 experiments on perpetual machine,two of them i have published in my book published in amazon,calledTHE DOCTRINE OF CHANGE ,but I come to conclusion this machine dont have force and sped to move turbine .Momentum of force and sped in generator definitivly are two importants component they gone together,if you dont have this componenents than is faillure,and for that thismachine are impossible to give energy. Reply ↴ Fatmir - 02/15/2020 at 09:25 Mathematicant called Bhascara invented big idea ,he in that time didnt now for thermodinamics laws,but he has given humanity something big,to many people,popular scientist and others also and to mee was obssesion,but without this people ,without this obssesion the idea didnt have sucsesed,so its last time to prove that perpetual motion is possible just inside thermodinamics laws and that in big scale.We have to thanks him and every scientist and individs who tried to build such machine.20 year this motion have obssesionirt to mee ,but I come to ende is impossible to work something without force or to build machine in perpetual motion .But inside thermodinamics laws is everything possible,just we have to try to build systems not machine,engine,but systems which when started will not stoped to big freze,but big freze will never comen,it was just one time big freze not any more.FOR EVER Reply ↴ Fatmir - 02/12/2020 at 18:03 Dont try with water,dont try with magnetism,with inertia,with elektricity and other sources in small scale they are not usefull ,the turbine need big force and speed and must bee industrial system to produce max 15 MW than is ok and some bory will bee hapyness man in the world,he solve the mostly big mysterie and done big favor for planet. Reply ↴ Fatmir - 02/12/2020 at 17:31 The science some time is like religions,they said perpetual motion is impossible,in other side say nothing is absolute in universe,this are two diferent theories,which to believe,the time is not stoped,so and new ideas will never stoped. Reply ↴ Fatmir - 02/12/2020 at 17:00 Its no need to lose time in building in perpetual machine,they are impossible ,only we can to try to use gravity force to build systems which will working and doing reality perpetual motion,just this systems are possible,never say never,everything is possible and dont stop dreaming,this day will come very sun. Reply ↴ Fatmir - 02/11/2020 at 21:26 Without big forces perpetual systems dont work ,but they dont need any source of energy to started them.but just in boundary of thermodinamiks laws.And this energy will not be free energy ,will costed to build the systems ,reparating,workers,and many things ,we can to calculate just burning derivates will be rejected from cost .And if perpetual system are not industrial producing of energy than this systems have not future. Reply ↴ Fatmir - 02/11/2020 at 20:51 The perpetual motion is possible without violating physics laws. Reply ↴ Jean Meslier - 04/11/2019 at 16:02 The device using magnets to get "free energy" does not take into account the tremendous amount of energy to make a magnet. Even the production of a simple iron bar magnet takes tremendous amounts of energy. From finding the iron ore deposit to mining, to final smelting, to drawing the bar, then it takes an electric coil to energize the magnet. The production of exotic materials magnets uses even more energy. So any device using magnets must produce enough energy to make more magnets, with enough energy left over to provide energy for other uses. I have a friend who has been working on free energy machine for 40 years. It basically is a falling magnet device. The idea is original with him, as he started this long before the internet. He hasn't gotten it just right yet, but any day now............... Reply ↴ joe Lynch - 08/18/2016 at 12:25 Free AC energy is easy to multiply using mechanical devices like pulleys. You expend one spark of DC electricity to rotate a DC motor with one large 100cm circumference pulley only once, and this gives you 100cm of belt. You then run this 100cm of moving belt through 10 mini-pulleys of 1cm circumference, multiplying your # of rotations by 1000=10X100. If you then attach AC generators to each of the mini-pulleys, you would get a return of 1000 units of AC electricity,,, all for the cost of one spark of DC electricity. That’s multiplying your electricity by 1000, as for 1 spark of DC electricity, you can through the use of pulleys, gain 1000 sparks of AC electricity. Please, somebody build this GEM of an electricity multiplier, either using physical means, or you could build it on an electronic simulator. I happen to have been disabled in an automobile accident, and my hands are too shaky to build it for real. I have been on disability pension ever since, so I cannot afford to purchase an electronic simulator, nor can I find a free one that will do the job. GEM = (Geometrical Electricity Multiplier) This simple technology could help save our economies and environments, but it is being hidden by evil spiritual warfare. Just look at the simple logic of this technology, how large pulleys only have to be rotated once, which can be made to rotate mini-pulleys hundreds and even thousands of times. AC electricity is created by rotations, so if you can multiply the rotations by simple pulley mechanics, so can you multiply your AC electricity. Torque is not a problem, because torque is caused by power, which is voltage times current. These AC generators are only being used to wind up massive voltage, and practically zero current, as you only need one spark of current output, to drive your DC motor once, to make this a self powered mechanism. Reply ↴ joe Lynch - 06/09/2018 at 14:52 AC electricity multiplication is an easy + simple way of using pulleys to multiply free AC energy. You put the slight amount of power in to rotate one large pulley of 100 cm circumference a single time. This would give you 100 cm of moving belt, which you could easily run past 1 – 10 mini-pulleys of 1 cm circumference with AC generators attached. This simple device would freely multiply one single rotation into 100 to 1000 cycles of AC electricity. Jeff Hardy - 06/13/2015 at 01:41 Lets get the facts right here people... And let me welcome myself to the disussion. Lets put things into perspective. Physics is great! Its awesome. But its a science. And to take it a step further its actually more closely related to math. And generally speaking if you actually took a physics class once in your life you would actually know this. Math is a means to an end as is science. Its about theories not facts. Can you actually see a valence shell...?! No you cant! Theories my friend, that you consider facts, are merely no less subject for scrutiny than the angels that walk with us along lifes journey here at the center of the universe! Oh yeah, we can thank hubble for that! As recluctant as he was to so readily admit! Soo keep your astrology, your evolution, and watch us like minded individuals who have a firm grip on reality pave the way once again as pioneers toward a future who's energy isnt limited by simple physics. Come on! Reply ↴ Norm Labranche - 10/17/2014 at 07:09 A machine which requires no input to start or run on its own indefinitely or till the parts deteriorate due to rust and such is possible and would not need to use its own power created to sustain itself; the power generated would be to either create electricity or do physical work. This is possible but its not about creating energy out of nothing, God already did that; its more like harnessing the power that's all around us already which God created and creating a device which harnesses that energy and converts it into a use able type. Thank you, Norm. Reply ↴ Jeff Hardy - 06/13/2015 at 01:24 Wow very touching came right from my heart! SlapWhacker - 08/16/2014 at 21:37 A 1 hour long film that never says anything at all. Pretty impressive kind of like watching the news... all fluff and no facts. Reply ↴ Kenneth Kelly - 08/10/2014 at 09:05 People still insist that Tesla invented a way to get free electricity. Naturally they will say the power companies prevented him from using his invention. That is what all the failed inventers will say. Most people don't bother to think, they just react.

Reply ↴ Dennis Weglehner - 08/02/2013 at 14:36 This is one of my favorite docos. Well worth watching. I feel sorry for the inventors though, what a waste of a lifetime. Reply ↴ nialld - 01/29/2013 at 04:41 look people... all energy has to come from somewhere. its mathematical. theres a sum and an equals sign... any one can be left to figure out using the other numbers. if your pushing another person with a force and that other person is pushing back with the same force and neither is moving the answer will be zero. the opposing forces cancel each other out. now lets take a finely engineered pendelum type contraption... this looks viable. but it really is nothing more than art and engineering creativity... the fact is this will never power anything. the opposing forces principal applies here too. if you had a machine that swung back and forth and was capeable of generating enough power to charge a 1.2 volt battery the moment you hook it up the pendelum stops... why?!! because the battery is fighting back. the work still has to be done! if someone handed you a winch that was supposed to pump up water but didnt connect the gears you could crank that winch as long as you liked... but your not doing anything... nothing that constitutes work taking place anyway... now he adds the gear... and the water comes up slowly... whats the other part of this sum? ah yes the force... its harder now... now its work and you probably wont be doing it for ages either as its very hard and tiring. thats why someone invented an electric pump. the fact is the work must always be done. if it takes little input to make it move it is only gonna give little output. so lets work on hydrogen or cold fusion there more worthwhile that a pretty pendelum Reply ↴ Moonsnail - 11/07/2013 at 05:07 wow another fundamentalist.... i avoid fundamentalism, fundamentally. hehe Rich_Id - 12/21/2012 at 06:06 I recently heard entropy may not be a cosmic law after all.

We all absolutely know "I am" because we are all aware that "I am". It is a self-evident, absolute truth. Robert Foyt - 05/15/2013 at 05:43 Welcome back Descartes Moonsnail - 11/07/2013 at 05:10 fundamentalist...? are you a tiny wee human a cosmic master, you know the cosmic laws. cammon the fact that the phrase "cosmic law" even exists in our science is a a huge failure on our parts as humans to be humble and in awe of how mysterious life and the cosmos really are.

Robert Foyt - 05/15/2013 at 22:05 Hitler is that you? Refused Classification - 09/20/2012 at 15:06 An Observation: Not one of these devices was shown producing the energy claimed they could produce. I saw a lot of "All you need to do is hook it up to a generator and you get free electricity" yet none had. Another Observation: Not having a patent doesn't stop the device working or from being put into production, there are plenty of devices sold around the word with "Patent Pending" written on them. I suspect these devices aren't in use in every home for a different reason, that is, they probably don't work. Aldo's Wheel is a nice idea, working on a difference in torque, however the gain you make in the torque is lost in moving the weights vertically against gravity twice, and that is before friction and load are taken into account. Discussions on why Dark Matter and Dark energy actually fit into Einstein's Theories are too long for a comment but there are a number of documentaries on this site that describe the current scientific position, suffice to say that these are required to make our various laws based on the Theory of Relativity work and do not prove them wrong. Not saying that inventors shouldn't invent or tinkerers tinker, just that if they claim that they have found some new and unknown force that can be used to provide power don't be surprised when they are asked to prove it. Reply ↴ Nickelthrower - 09/18/2012 at 04:46 Normally, I would reject these claims but then I think about quantum physics. I think about electrons moving from one orbit to another instantaneously and doing so without traveling the distance between orbits. I think about how probability is used to predict where an electron might be because it is a particle and a wave when it isn't popping in and out of existence. Something so odd that even Einstein couldn't wrap his mind around it. We should challenge the youth of this country to produce such a machine. Even if they can never build one, at least they will learn something about mechanics and physics which is a lot better than what they are doing now. Reply ↴ Atescoop - 09/20/2012 at 02:41 Nickelthrower, wouldn't give a penny for that thought. A good education is what we should give the youth. Lies are not a part of that. Nickelthrower - 09/20/2012 at 04:11 Um, exactly where did I lie? I clearly state my position and my skepticism with regards to a free energy machine. A challenge, such as the one I propose, is more valuable than the current system which attempts to measure proficiency by administering a standardized test. You couldn't design a worse system if you tried. No, if we do not start challenging our youth to build something other than fat cells we, as a society, will be doomed.

Reply ↴ Jellyfish - 08/23/2012 at 13:59 Jeremey Shepard: "Edit to add: Look at magnets, they produce a kind of energy that is "free" simply because we don't have to burn anything or use our own energy to make the magnet attract or repel other magnets. Solar power, wind power, hydroelectricity and others can be called "free" energy." There is a fundamental flaw in your thinking on magnets. They do not produce any energy, the energy produced when they repel has to be put in to push them together and the energy of them attracting has to put in to pull them back apart. ie Net sum:zero Reply ↴ Big Willy - 08/12/2012 at 04:13 How long does something need to continually move for it to be considered perpetual motion? How long has the planet earth been spinning around the sun? How long will it continue to spin around the sun? The earth and universe will be in perpetual motion during my life span and possibly billions of years to come. Perpetual motion exists when you consider extremely large systems. But i doubt that any man or woman will make a machine that will ever generate free energy. Although the laws of thermodynamics may not be 100% correct there is something to be said for them. Free energy does not exist in any form. I'm very comfortable with the first law. You will onl… truncated (54,781 more characters in archive)
