Ideas For Infinite Energy Sources?

Question

an example is how when wire is put in extreme cold a charge sent through it, the charge doesnt stop. Instead of it requiring a power supply.

Answer 1

Works as long as you put energy into the system initially and never take any energy out. Unfortunately that does not make it a power source.

Answer 2

Synchronous Transmission Undulation of  Positive Ions by Direct Inversion of Transverse admittance(Y)

Others wise know by it acronym...

Answer 3

As soon as the power source is removed, the energy would dissipate from the wire by electrons flying away from it. And, even if it wouldn't, what good would it be? As soon as the charge was tapped, it would disappear from the wire, so it would have to be replenished.

Infinite energy does not exist. According to thermodynamics, every process will result in a loss of energy as heat.

Answer 4

There is no such thing as an infinite energy source.  It is physically impossible, and violates everything we know about energy.

Your example of the superconducting wire is completely false.  It is not an energy source at all, but an energy transfer mechanism.  In theory (I'm not up to date on the current thinking in superconductors) a perfect superconductor would, as you say, transmit energy with no loss, so a charge put in one end of a wire will travel to the other end without being lost to heat or other losses.  But in order to USE that energy at one end, the electrons have to be replaced at the other end.  So it DOES require a source to have more than a theoretical current flowing.

Sorry, nice daydream, but totally impossible.

Answer 5

You may find the short story "The Last Question" by Isaac Asimov interesting, as it deals with the problem that eventually, we're gonna be out of energy sources.
