Perpetual question more like....
right ..
I am wondering still, and still playing,
In my thought experiment yesterday, I mentioned an implausible type of machine, I would like to point out a few things about the idea, that I think may have been missed, and then have peoples thoughts on those, its a game really.
So my machine involved having a 1000 meter shaft , down which a House sized giant metal ball is dropped, this ball drops the thousand feet, and then goes onto a Mill type system that then turn tilts the top ball in the mill, (which is at the top of the 1000m shaft) and so the the next ball drops, and again descends down the shaft...
In my thought experiment, it is not the mill which we would derive the power from, the mill is a very well balanced mill, which just accepts a ball, the change in the weight, makes the mill turn and the next ball drop, this is all the mill does...
So there is no power to be lost there..
