Physics

Nobel Prize work was being done on Feb. 16, 1984, in MIT's Francis Bitter National Magnet Laboratory when visiting scientists Horst Stï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½rmer (left front) and Daniel Tsui (right front) posed on the balcony above MIT's Hybrid II magnet, at the time the world's most powerful DC magnet. Behind Stï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½rmer and Tsui are, left to right, Alb...

In Carl Dietrich's design for a perpetual motion machine (one of three he submitted),the upper reservoir fills at high tide and the water slowly empties into the lower reservoir, continuously turning a water wheel. Once the tide falls below the level of the lower reservoir, the water drains back into the ocean through a one-way valve.
