A few years ago I had an idea for a perpetual motion device that I was convinced would actually work. Now, I know that the first rule of thermodynamics doesn't allow "Free" energy and I know every perpetual motion device in history was a hoax but I couldn't find an explanation WHY my device wouldn't work. It's a very simple device - Imagine a looped rope with empty barrels attached to it, One side of the loop is submerged vertically in water and the other side is outside of the water. The barrels that are submerged would float up, while the barrels in the air would fall down, and then enter the water from the bottom and float back up. 

It sounded so perfectly reasonable but I knew the rules of physics wouldn't allow it somehow. And you know what it is? what makes this concept unrealistic? It's the surface tension of the water! Trying to push a barrels back into the water would require more energy than the machine would put out! Dammit physics! you win again!

    John Penniman · 1h @historiographos.bs... I will never recover from this student email. Good afternoon Professor Penniman, Hope you had a great break! I was wondering if it would be acceptable to use sources from the late 1900's for our final paper (I found an interesting paper from 1994). Is there a cut off date of publication? See you tomorrow, IMFD

    Katie Hannigan @katiehannigan My friend got a degree in egyptology, but can't get a job, So he's paying more money to get a Phd, so he can work teaching other people egyptology. In his case college is literally a pyramid scheme.
