Perhaps the most persistent nonsense in physics: the perpetual motion machine. Bad ideas come and go in physics. But there’s one bit of nonsense that is perhaps more persistent than all others: the ...

The benefits and design considerations of lubrication-free plastic components for harsh industrial environments How igus’ continuous-flex cable carriers support rotational motion without slip rings.

Why AI is taking on impossible challenges. How a perpetual motion machine can power an AI. Why we have to put an explicit explanation about an April 1st article so that the search engines don’t ding ...

Efficiently integrating multiple axes of motion within limited spatial and mechanical constraints remains a significant challenge for machine designers. Leveraging compact servo drives with real-time ...

While this is authentic footage of a genuine product, the "perpetual" marble machine does not operate infinitely without an additional energy source. Rather, it uses batteries and a magnet to create ...

AI can be added to legacy motion control systems in three phases with minimal disruption: data collection via edge gateways, non-interfering anomaly detection and supervisory control integration.
