I SMf Of .181 FORK
GIVES AN INTERESTING DISSERTATION
ON PERPETUAL MOTION
No Perpetual Motion Can Exist Save
in Infinity?Points Out the Polly of
"Something for Nothing" Schemes
Editor ('ourtv Kecord:?
In one of your late numbers il
was said that a Sumter man had
patented a perpetual motion
machine in this and in European
countries. It was .-tated loo that
it was*t> be put to "practical
work,'' hence it claims to be a
perpetual motor as well as per
petual motion.
1 had been priming and swinging
'round to give the inventor a
broad- ide, when suddenly the
wind was taken out of my sails
by the announcement that the
patent office commissioners had
given out an interview that no
such patent had been taken out.
so it w;is all a hoax.
It was said that a weight was
to be raised closer lo the axle of a
rotating wheel and to descend
farther off from the axle to create
power,?something for nothing.
But I once thought I could make
a perpetual motor on the same
wheel and weight plan.
Imagine a wheel keyed to a
shaft revolving in oiled boxes, no
riin to the wheel, but many
spokes, with a sledge-hammerweight
on the end of each 6poke;
then the weights on one side of
the wheel would balance those on
the other side of the wheel.
Now, let an elbow-joint be made
at the middle of each spoke, so
that all the weight on one side of
the wheel would lold inward and
downward toward the axle, hut
those on the other side would lie
out at arm's length and so over
balancing the wheel it would
have to turn, all the weights on
one side lold up and those on the
other side dropping out at arm's
length, keeping up the motion.
I thought the only trouble would
be io stop the thing at night when
done working. Well, i lost my
time and work, but it was a
schooling. I came to realize 1 hat
there is no something for nothing
in mechanics.
But the something lor nothing
schemes advertised in all the
trashy newspapers are causing
hundreds ot thoughtless people to
give something lor nothing, in
hopes of getting somethiug foi
nothing.
Perpetual motion is described
by Webster as "a machine which
has within itself the means, when
once set in motion, of continuing
i*s motion perpetually, or until
worn out, without any new ap;
plication of external force." Sc
if a clock could be made to winH
itself it would be perpetual
motion.
Lynches river runs perpetually,
but the heat of the sun evaporate*
the water and the clouds and winds
carry it back to its source, which
is outside help. The heart beat*
perpetually, but the food we eat
serves as fuel to keeD un strength
I " ? r " r n and
heat, which is outside help;
therefore, none of these is perpetual
motion machines.
But a "perpetual motor," such
as I and the Sumter man were
silly enough to tackle, would be
far ahead of perpetual motion; foi
the motor would not only keep
itself in motion with no outside
help, but have power to spare tc
run other machinery and do othei
work; and that would be something
for nothing doubled over.
4 God is the only one who can
make something from nothing;
the only one who has made perpetual
motion.
The circulation of a planet
around the sun, or the moon
around the earth?one heavenly
body around another?is the only
perpetual motion I know of; and
that seems to be a sort of negative
perpetual motion; for I fail
to conceive of the earth's having
withiu itself the means to propel
itself through space. It only has |
not the means to stop it sell >ilt? r
having tieen projected bv God's
power with such fearful velocity.
It never can stop itself, passim:
through a medium of non-resistance
it must run perpetual!'.
Her own and the sun's mutual
attraction only curve her path
and just "let her roll." Every
time she rolls over once another
/! ?? io ir/itiu -itwi pvprv lime she
completes the ureal circuit one
more year is counted.
The fact is, perpetual motion
seems to belong peculiarly to
God's universe. Without it no
stellar onier among the heavens
could exist, no individuality
among the stars; all would be a
crash, a jam and one universal
jumble.
Conceive unlimited space and
nothing in it?nothing but God
making a world from nothing?
only one?and placing it gentlv
on the lap of eternal space,?no
up, no down, no north, no south?
no attraction any where. It
would be at ease just where lie
put it. But conceive another
world put in another part o! space;
each having attraction?gravila
lion?how soon tliey would begin
to move toward each other, and
with a crash come togefhei!
What's to be done to prevent it?
Ju.it what was* done: make "perpetual
motion" out of it; project
the small one with sufficient
velocity to carry it around the
heavy one and all is done. Just
so the whole universe in turn is
perhaps projected around a great
common centre many times
heavier than the whole, around
which they revolve forever?The
Thronb of God!
"He rested on the 7th day."
"He rested." No need for constant
energy of divine mind to
drive and to keep every thing
going, he rested: Al! is "perpetual
motion" among- the shining
orbs; they can only obey the
first impulse of divine mindenergy,
singing forever as ihey
