Volkswagen's humorous response to a viral perpetual motion machine meme
A viral social media post features a diagram of a pickup truck with a metal plate attached to the front, held by an arm that also supports a magnet positioned in front of the plate. The image asks, 'Okay explain why this wouldn't work,' suggesting a flawed perpetual motion concept. The official Volkswagen account joined the conversation by jokingly claiming they forwarded the design to their engineering department, only to be blocked on Microsoft Teams as a result. The post highlights the absurdity of the physics-defying invention through a lighthearted corporate interaction.
Did you finish school? If so, you must be retarded for not understanding basic physics's !
So engineers know something we dont?
I'll give you two reasons; one common sense and the other pure science! Common Sense: If you think the magnet would ratter pull the car forth instead of breaking the flimsy arm that holds the magnet, you should be blocked from anything related to engineering. Pure Science: Newton
There is a woman behind that account, isn't?
Because that’s why
YOU CAN BLOCK COWORKERS ON TEAMS?! REJOICE BRETHEREN!
typical margeting team... no idea about the product
How to get assassinated by big oil
The car is pushed forwards with the same force that the magnet is pulled backwards. So the car pushes the mechanic arm forwards, the magnet pulls it backwards. The mechanic arm is in tension and can't shrink, nothing happens
Because the magnet is too far. Distance needs to be like 2.
