In Search of the Perpetual Motion Machine - A Book Review

Have you ever noticed how many people claim to have built a perpetual motion machine? And most of these people use magnets and magnetism. It all looks like magic, but we know it isn’t, and one has to ask if it is really perpetual motion because it didn’t take energy to magnetize those magnets, and we cannot forget about that energy. and one has to ask if it will last forever, we know that magnets over time stop working. So therefore, are these perpetual motion devices really perpetual?

For these reasons and others like them we must as these very good questions, if you like thinking about this topic, or would like to learn more about magnetism, perpetual motion, and magnets then I’d like to recommend a very good book for you. This is a book that I have in my science library, and the book is;

“Magnets and Magnetism; How and Why Book” by Paul Blackwood, 1963.

We need to teach children about magnets and magnetism to get them into the sciences. A child who is introduced to this concept is more likely to consider math and science as a future profession, and somewhere to concentrate their schoolwork. In the future we will need more scientists, as our nation progresses forward. Magnets are used everywhere in our society, we use them in our telephones, the ringers, doorbells, cabinets, telegraphs, tape recorders, and so many other places, which the author points out.

It is my contention that although this book was written in 1963, the laws of physics haven’t changed. And therefore, this good book is just as great today as it was back then. And that is why it still resides in my science library. If you can find a copy on the Internet, and I see them from time to time, then I recommend that you purchase it for yourself. I hope you will please consider this.
