Project Description
In this project we were offered 20% of our second semester to work on a field of study that we chose that would also in some way benefit us and the world. I chose Perpetual motion machines because they puzzled me and interested me as well as if I was successful and creating a woking one it would change the world for the better drastically. In the firs stages we created a proposal of the project as you can see below.
After this we began woking on the preliminary steps we set out and created elevator pitches to go along with them and presented these to the class.
Elevator Pitch:
Project Eternity
Electricity, ever since the industrial era this has been a large part of our lives. Increasing the industrial growth of our world rapidly. The only problem is is finding sources of energy that will produce sufficient electricity for our rapidly growing globalized nation. Right now we are using sources that have detrimental effects on our environment.
To address the problem of our society's current dependence on fossil fuels. I hope to create a device that harnesses the force of earth's gravity. Many may call it a perpetual motion machine although to be a true perpetual motion machine it must not have energy entering it from outside. My machine would be getting its energy from gravity. The final product of this project will be a prototype of my gravity harnessing machine preferably working.
I realize that I have limited knowledge on making machines of this type, efficient. I am solving this by reading one book on the history of failed perpetual motion machines, and another book on thermal dynamics.
In short I hope to bring the world the possibility of an invention to change, and reshape the way we think about energy.
