Design and Analysis of A Perpetual Motion Machine Using Neodymium Magnets as A Prime Mover

Abstract

With the rapid growth of population and huge energy demand, fossil fuels, which are the most widely used fuel, are running low. One of the things that can be a solution to deal with this problem is utilizing alternative energy sources. The article describes an idea of a perpetual motion machine as one of the options to find alternative energy sources. Using Neodymium magnets as the main component of the machine, the authors built and analyzed the performance of a perpetual motion machine. The method allows improving the machine's performance to generate electricity and its possibilities of future enhancements. The results show that the utilization of neodymium magnets on the machine is considered a better option and effective in generating electricity. However, proper arrangement of the component must be made carefully and accurately to improve the project's performance.
