Education Troll Physics

Not impossible if the water is being heated by the sun, causing the helium to expand, increasing the diameter of the tube as it enters the water, after passing through the magical frictionless seal.

 

And also decreasing the density of the water reducing any efficiency which might have been there in the first place

 

Nope again!!!111

Magical frictionless seals top and bottom serve to increase density, boosting efficiency

 

*facepalm*

 

lol

 

Ahhhh I know this is a troll but it angers me!

Perpetual motion? Seriously?!

 

The straw just sits in your glass because it fills with water. Seal the bottom, and it becomes an air pocket and floats. Stick it through a hole in the bottom of your glass, and (even if the seal is frictionless), it will sink through the hole and fall to the floor, subject to gravity. Connect it via a wire to a straw hanging outside the glass, and it will stay in balance and just sit there.

 

pffft straw, multiple chambered mega bike tube is where it's at

You give me frictionless seals, and epically sunny days, and I give you perpetual motion... during daytime anyway, c'mon, what more do you want

 

But the question was never about efficiency. I was never proposing it as some sort of viable replacement to current technology, I just wanted to know if it was theoretically possible even if you had to spend a $trillion to get one watt.

 

In answer to your question: No.

 

Even with a magical frictionless seal and expanding helium?

 

I think if you spent a trillion bucks, then you'd probably get something based on my tube suggestion, working well enough to produce one watt, during sunny days that is

A few hundred million bucks worth of concave mirrors would heat up a small pool of water pretty well! Spend the rest of the cash on super duper seals, some helium, a fancy tube and a pool won't cost much

 

Nope. Even if you had a magically containerless floating load of water which had no friction to get into it, it wouldn't work. The balloons would need to be pushed in as hard as they would be pushed upwards = no energy gain.

 

Don't they do something like that now? I've seen the concave mirrors that reflect into Solar panals and there was another I saw that had them focusing on a pipe filled with water. Beautiful things!

 

No because the tube is smaller when it enters, then it slowly expands, and rises... continuous rinse and repeat, until the tube goes round the top pulley - this outer half would obviously be in the shade.

If a penny's worth of lube is all that's necessary to make double anal penetration possible, then I can't see any reason why a few hundred million dollars couldn't let my tube glide in and out easily.

 

You need a conveyor belt woth frictionless rollers to get this idea off the ground

 

I'm pretty sure that's a form of solar energy capture then, and a rather convoluted kind. Plus, it wouldn't be any kind of perpetual motion as there's energy input to maintain it.

 

The conveyor belt will have to be also powered via a helium filled tube through a pool in the sun arrangement!

Yes, we have a conveyor belt now, so anything is possible.

 

Isn't there an entire page of these in the Demote thread?
