Great ideas for a perpetual motion machine Sadness Knowledge of magnets
Ida No about 9 years ago
Magnets can do anything! They can even make you sad (when you realize that you don’t really understand how they work).

Magnets work by the exchange of momentum. They can apply only as much force as they possess as a physical object. It would require a very large magnet to move or topple a refrigerator. A one pound magnet can exert exactly one pound of force, maximum. If you mechanically attach it to something larger, it can also exert the force of that mechanical attachment.Discover the medium of exchange for momentum in either gravitation or magnetism and win a Kewpie doll!
