Then hook up something to convert the energy from the turning wheel to make electricity (like a windmill without the wind)?
Would it really be a perpetual motion machine if eventually the magnets wear down and need to be replaced? I would assume it could turn for a while, but not forever. So yes I’m asking if it can power its self, but not asking for a perpetual motion machine.
If the wheel was pushed by the magnets, like if the wheel was a metal that reacted to the magnets, couldn’t the magnets naturally push it, thus turning the wheel… and then just use it like any other windmill?
I’m not asking for the magnets to produce it, I’m asking can I make the magnets turn a wheel, like how those trains on magnet rails move… it if turns the wheel, then you could just get the other parts from a windmill to make it produce energy, yes no? So can you make a metal wheel that turns from the push of a magnetic field from magnets?
