infinet energey

We need to know for what reason you are using this, and the circuit diagram to come with a conclusion.

No you can't.

Kinda can!

If you have a battery(small) it can be trickled charged by using 4 ESC's. It is dangerous of overhaeting. Not infinite but long. Also it can be charged by backup batteries. You could have 10 backups and when one is down the other one charges. Although I don't know how much time it will take to charge all backups. That is why I wrote:

i don't have a diagram but it would be used to recharge a large energy storage devise

I think it's called thermodynamics and that's why infinite electrical energy doesn't work.

Hi Matthew - The word infinite is a mathematical concept that causes lots of problems for scientists. One of the best ways we have to describe the real world is with our system of mathematics. We try to describe this real world with our mathematical equations. Most of the time the equations do a pretty good job and we are able to predict what is going to happen. Occasionally the equations say that there is going to be an infinite value in the real world. This is almost always a signal that something is wrong with our equation or perhaps our theory. Mathematics, while very good at describing the universe, is still only an approximation of reality.  Gavin has mentioned thermodynamics and is probably referring to the Second Law of Thermodynamics which states that in a closed system entropy always stays the same or increases. The Law can be stated many ways but basically it means that there is no free lunch when it comes to energy. Even if we put a solar cell out in the Sunshine and use the power that comes from it there is a price somewhere that has to be paid, it is not free. In this case it is in the nuclear reactions occurring in the core of the Sun. Nor is the energy of the Sun infinite, nor are the energies of all the star in the universe infinite. In your description of parts for your circuit you mentioned resistors. Resistors are always wasters of energy. They produce heat when they are doing their jobs in our circuits. The cost of this heat is wasted energy which the circuit designer is willing to supply so that he can use the benefit of controlling voltages and currents in the circuit. If you make a circuit you will have to continue to replenish the energy lost as heat in the resistors. You could hook a hand turned generator up to your circuit and start turning the handle to replenish the lost energy. While you would be able to maintain a balance as long as you continued to turn the crank, as soon as you stopped the energy would dissipate as heat. It is good to imagine things like this and to try to work them out. This is why a lot of the new and wonderful discoveries that are made come from young people who do not yet know what is impossible.

i thhank you for your feed back your feed back i still don't now much about electronics i am only 15 and trying to teach my self do to i wont to study the implementation of technology for a living so every bit of info helps

Hi Matthew, You are off to a good start and you are asking good questions. There are lots of good books and there are also good tutorials on the net. Learn something every day and it won't be long and you will be making your own designs. Keep thinking as it is young people who don't know what is impossible that actually do impossible things sometimes.

John

thanks

Okay, John some math models are better than others.  But maybe reality springs from mathematics.

I wouldn't talk about infinity so certainly in the singular.  Thinking about another word, 'maths' seems so much more literate than 'math.'

Aristotle tells us that there is no highest integer.  Were you to propose one, say, N, he offers to cook up N + 1.  Since ++ applies to any integer, Aristotle must be right.

There must be an infinite amount of fractions between 0 and 1.  Aristotle also tells us there can be no highest prime.  Were you to provide a candidate (Aristotle is a patient man) number, he could, in theory, sum it with all intermediate primes, add one, and have a new, larger prime.  Fractions are ratios of pairs of primes.  Every time we form the ratio of two unique primes, a new rational number must be formed.

Therefore both the set of rational numbers and the set of integers are infinite.  But the rational numbers contain the integers, and have an infinitude of numbers between the integers, so, the rational numbers have to represent a higher order of infinity when 'counted up.'
