VOLITIONAL ENERGY / VOLITIONAL MECHANICS Volitional mechanics, first called Veulmism (an archaic spelling that I may have invented myself as an explanation), has existed in some form since medieval times, as well as in Ancient China, India, and Arabia. It is the science of perpetual motion machines. Except, until recently, it wasn't precisely a science. Tinkerers in the past did not rely on solving the problem of proportionality which underlaid all simple design problems in perpetual motion. Instead, they either repeated the same mistakes previous inventors had made, or they made attempts to utilize 'unique energy' sources which could not be explained with reasonable science. What was lacking was experimental evidence. These early 'inventors' succeeded to craft interesting-looking 'machines', but they were unable to divide their experiments into smaller parts, that could prove individual functional principles. I believe that all of that changed on Nov. 9 - 10, 2013, when I conducted an experiment designed to prove the principle of simple over-unity. Another different, but less conclusive experiment followed, and both experiments found many confirmations. Now I have much greater confidence that building a simple perpetual motion machine is not only physically possible, but has some grounds in previous experience. The previous experiences which exhibit these properties may be limited just to certain experiments such as mine, unless we also include the marginally less effective "simple machines" that have been around for millennia. The principle that I believe I proved was the principle of over-unity with simple machines. The principle is not quite sufficient to prove a continuous self- resetting cycle is possible, but it points in that direction. HERE ARE THE EQUATIONS I USED TO REACH MY UNIQUE CONTRAPTIONS: A. Volitional Energy Should be high number: Moving parts divided by fixed and dual-axial parts B. Volitional Equilibrium Should be low number: Modular units / (stems per cycle / sub-cycles per cycle) C. Volitional Efficiency Should be maximized: A / B A result of '1' means that the object doesn't move, while a rating of less than '2' means approximately that the object will be stopped by friction. Surprisingly, this equation has been thoroughly effective in weeding out ineffective devices (like the Bhaskara Wheel, and buoy-based designs) and giving good indicators with the devices that seem most functional, and involve clever principles. Significantly, it was only recently that some of my designs achieved a rating of infinity, by having no dual-directional parts. I attempt to qualify my work, and I think that the recent devices are a step forward, even if they are not guaranteed to work. Of course, it has to be potentially a mechanical device before it is even qualified to pass the equations. The unique science of perpetual energy is not designed to replace physics, but to provide a unique rubric for the relative measurement of perpetual motion specifically, under the paradigm of cheating without adding energy. Examples of these devices may be limited, but there may ultimately be very many of them, and hopefully they will not fail as much as they did in the past. ---Nathan Coppedge 2015 November 23 INDEX GENERATO PERPETUAL MOTION GENERATO A HISTORY MAIN PERPETUAL MOTION PAGE ADDITIONAL PAGES ON VOLITIONAL ENERGY MAY BE FOUND AT: HTTP://WWW.NATHANCOPPEDGE.COM/VOLITIONALMECHANICS.HTML HTTP://WWW.IMPOSSIBLEMACHINE.COM/PERPETUALMOTION.HTML |
