Uzbeks are first to create the perpetual engine!
Culture and History, Uzbekistan4 Comments
A teenager from the academic school in Samarqand, Maruf Karimov, invented a “perpetual” car engine powered by a very unusual kind of fuel - air! The student managed to start a conventional internal combustion engine with the help of air pressure, News Agency Ferghana.ru reports.
The report also says that Maruf Karimov is only 15 years old and had already tested the engine in his friends car driving it a few hundred of meters. The engine’s power is not that strong. However, the young inventor believes that it would be developed and upgraded in near future.
The system of operation of the engine is very simple. The air goes into the engine from a special tank filled with air under high pressure. What makes it perpetual is that the tank refills itself automatically non-stop. The drawings and calculation of the boy was sent to Germany, where specialist will learn and analyze it.
It is very exciting that the Uzbek kid could do such a big invention. People are saying that genes of Al-Farabi, Ibn Sina (Avicenna) and Ulugbek are letting others know about themselves. It is very surprising that there is no even mentioning about it in the Uzbek media. Let’s just wait and see the reaction of the west on the invention of the boy.

I don’t want to disparage the boy, he sounds really bright and resourceful and I wish him the best. But there’s no such thing as a perpetual engine.

I feel the same way. While physics says it’s not technically IMPOSSIBLE to build the perpetual motion machine, there are too many factors that rob a machine of energy. 100% efficiency is not something you plug into your friend’s car and drive around, and anything self-filling must be using energy. It’s like the perpetual siphon - it only works by robbing energy from the environment, and never on a large scale. Like the bobbing bird you fill with water.

Yep, it’s the good ol’ 2nd law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy will always increase over time in a system. Entropy is similar to ‘chaos’, of the opposite of ‘order’. The 2nd law explains why when you pour cream in your coffee it eventually diffuses evenly, why a sand castle will erode but will never be created spontaneously, why in many billions of years the universe may eventually be a uniform and even space with no stars, planets or irregularities, and why a perpetual motion machine cannot work. I remember going over this in my otherwise kinda boring thermodynamics classes. :)

i made that same thing im 27 but i created a masive presher compreser that creats air faster then u could use it giving more horse power then gas and every thing runs off it self with leftovers a kit to add to exsisting engines with out bying a new car. its up fore sale @ inventec.com
