The Oracle
you need to think this through a bit more. For the energy to be used, energy must be stored. Dams store the energy of the gravity flow of water. Nukes use uranium as a storage, with electrons providing the energy. Everything you listed above requires an input of energy to work.
there is no such thing as a perpetual motion machine. It can't be. Friction requires a loss of energy. Anything that turns produces friction.
Surely you are joking with this line of reasoning.
Ok..
Rephrase:
Bleeds off a little. No reason why it can't be stored.
If you were making shine, you would need some wood
or propane to get it going. Right?
Could you not use 170 proof to fire the next batch,
therefore, "perpetual"? Sure, there are better ways.
They only been running for eons. Not that they would use "shine"
to fire shine. Pine tops make good methanol
and engine fuel. Not the same as burning "shine" to make shine. Can't drink it but it has a use.
There are up and downs to just about anything.
My point was to store some energy to power the truck we were talking about.
Why not store some? yer' truck does it everytime you crank it.
If everything was down hill we wouldn't need any energy. Right?
