This question really troubles me.
Since we all know that the molecules are in perpetual random motion, why can't we make a perpetual motion machine by using molecular's always-moving energy??
I‘m a Grade 9 student and I'm unsure about this.

Hi all,
I'm a theoretical physicist (by training) who now works on machine learning projects (mostly) but also app and 3D development. I go back to physics whenever I have the chance!
Hello,
I am looking into electrical engineering because I think it is an awesome major because of the math and physics involved. I am not really into building things though. I love software and computer science-related things, but I do not want to major in CS because it is a very popular major...
Hey There,
I was just thinking up some ideas for machines that are independent of the ground to use in my work shop. I came across an idea but still haven’t made the machine, the machine is placed on the shaft of the wrench. I would like to know if this machine can successfully turn the...
I want to make an automatic A0 folding machine that I can use myself. But I couldn't find the mechanism in the videos I watched, I want to get your opinions.
The construction just basically a bracket that is being held in place by welds and bolts and there is a force acting on it.
The textbook answered the first construction and the free-body diagram is shown like this below:
I apologize for the picture not being in English, here's the...
Started a new job, this is the coffee vending machine. When I click on cappucino, only cappucino comes and it's very bitter(no sugar). The sugar is in "milk" part. But I am not sure how to turn both milk and cappucino at the same time. I've been making a fool of myself by taking 3 glasses, 1 for...
I truly am not sure. I assume it is that because everything has inertia, an a tendency to remain in a constant state of motion, when the clothes are quickly spun around they cannot remain in a constant state of motion (of either rest or constant velocity), but the water is "pushed"/spun out of...
I'm trying to make a DIY 'ECG' machine, except that it'll only record heartbeats on a piece of paper. Basically the piece of paper will be wound round a cylinder like object, which will be being spun slowly by a motor. A pencil at the end of a stick or something will be writing to this piece of...
Im prototyping a machine to lower liquid from a height using a chains and sprockets. Essentially liquid will fill at top, be lowered over a distance of 4.8 metres then emptied at bottom. The liquid needs to be lowered at a slow pace due to resistance on the output shaft, I am considering...

My attempt at a solution:
For the calculation of ##F_{DB}## we consider the equilibrium in the whole machine.

Would anyone verify whether or not I've formulated the proper Lagrangian here for the system above (the pulleys are massless, inextensible ropes of length ##L## and ##S##):
$$\mathcal{L} = T - U $$
$$ \mathcal{L} = \frac{1}{2} m_1 { \dot l_1 }^2+ \frac{1}{2} m_2 \left( { \dot l_2}- {\dot l_1 }...
So far I have determined the evacuation time, a basic heat transfer between the heating element and plastic sheet, and a hold down force of the forming bed.

So a friend who works in physics told a story at a party the other day I find very interesting that now I just got to find a place with other physicists to ask if he's telling the truth or maybe downed one too many shots.
He told a story where a tribe extremely smart monkeys one day finds a...
Hello All,
Please see the attachments. The pdf file is the IEEE paper I'm reading. Figure 1 show a slot of the AC machine similar to the front view of the picture below:
But in one slot, they fit two sets of conductors. The first set carries current i1 in total. The second set carries...
So I was looking at this example problem in my textbook and I don’t understand how they got -168.1 degrees. The part I’m confused with is the first part of the 2nd picture, there’s a coma in the inverse tan, I don’t know what that means.
##T-2mg=2ma_1## (acceleration of heavier mass)
##T-mg=ma_2##
(##-a_1=a_2##)
On solving the eqns, ##a_1=-g/3=-a_2##
##s=1/2at^2##
##s=-g/6## , distance covered by heavier mass.
##s=g/6## , covered by lighter mass.
Edit: ##\Delta U_1=mgh=-2mg^2/6## (decrease in U of heavier mass)
##\Delta...

In the solution to the example problem, they wrote the following statement. “The least significant digit is the units digit, and so your weight is uncertain by about 1 pound. That is, your scale would read 119 lb for any weight between 118.5 and 119.5 lb.”
I don’t understand why the scale...
When our new washing machine was delivered, the delivery/installation guy ran a "test wash" cycle.
I did not look inside the machine when he did this, as I stood to the side. After the test cycle finished, he left and I assumed all was good, b/c he said it worked. I could, of course, hear...
We were in the process of going off grid when a tree fell over our power line. Hence we got off grid before we were ready as we didn't want to repair the power line. Now everything in the house runs on solar power, except for the well pump. The problem with the well pump is that it is a 3 phase...
Hi PF!
At the bottom of a transparent cup full of water is a hole where water drains. The cup is sloshed, so the gas-water interface is not flat. Are there any techniques you're aware of that implement machine learning to track the interface?
My current technique not using ML is:
1) splice...
Game on VM won't work. It did work before i re-created machine, but I don't remember what did i do to get game working. I'm using windows 10 64 bit on machine and host is the same. When i launch the game it's just black screen and music, when I tried to play in window mode it showed the window...
As of today, there are plenty of time machine mathematical models based on general relativity theory (warp drives, wormholes), but few ones based on quantum physics. However, back in 2010, Seth Lloyd wrote: "quantum mechanics supports a variety of counter-intuitive phenomena which might allow...
I want to ask in this machine when there are two masses hanging down then the tension T is directed upwards along the rope. Is it the force applied by the rope on the mass? Is it the force applied by the pulley? When the anyone mass of the machine moves downwards is it because the force of...
I am currently pursuing my undergraduate studies in Physics. While I do know some programming (Java, MATLAB, Python), I have no knowledge in Machine Learning. This is an important field, and I want to study it. I have gone through some online courses, and need your help in determining which of...
Hi everyone,
I apologize to the mod if I posted in the wrong section.

I don't understand the Turing Machine. Amazingly this hypothetical device, designed in the 1930s can do everything the most powerful computers can do today, but it would just take much longer. Has anybody ever built one just to solve a simple linear algebraic equation? How long would the tape...

Hello everyone,
I'm sorry if this is not the right sub-forum to post this, but this doubt has been haunting me for a while.
I've got some rotatory machine -let's say, generic synchronous machine-. Turns out there are typical values for [kg m^2] (inertia) in the 2-10 range; the software I'm...
Two questions:
1.) If you have a washing machine that is dripping water into the tub (no leaks outside that I can see), would that typically be a problem that plumbers are called for or some other sort of repair/handyman/technician?
2.) Anyone know what's up with mine?

My understanding of the system from the image (which was given in book)

I wonder how to accurately perform data compression on the m x n matrix X using PCA. Each row is a data point, and each column is a feature.
So m data points with n features. If I like to go k < n dimensions, how is the correct way of doing so? How to I accurately create the matrix W_k, which...

Hello,
I am about to create (should I say install?) a virtual machine (VM) on my Windows pc to experiment with Linux.

I don't understand why that is so.
