I get that the main reason perpetual motion isn’t possible is because energy loss due to friction, but that’s not the case with magnets (I think?). Why can’t perpetual motion be achieved with magnets? What can’t we make something that spins and creates energy using magnets to propel a turbine?
In: Physics
In order for a machine to produce energy, the energy needs to come from somewhere. Wherever it’s coming from, it’ll eventually run out.
A perpetual motion machine needs to produce energy without that energy coming *from* anywhere, which is nonsense.
