Everything is Possible: The Perpetual Motion Engine in Snowpiercer

Of the many fascinating topics you can discuss when it comes to the movie Snowpiercer, one of the most widely mentioned subjects is the Eternal Engine. It’s described as a perpetual motion machine. In the movie, how the Eternal Engine works isn’t explained, the only idea communicated to everyone is that the engine powers itself to drive the train forward and provide power and electricity for all aboard. ***SPOILER*** As the film progresses, we learn the Eternal Engine isn’t all it seems. It isn’t endless. Parts on the engine wear out, and when they do, Wilford replaces the parts with children small enough to fit inside the engine. So even in the movie, the Eternal Engine is not a good example of an endless, never tiring perpetual motion machine. Like so many perpetual motion machines before it, it’s a sham. <a href="https://medium.com/from-the-desk-of-the-nerd-legion/everything-is-possible-the-perpetual-motion-engine-in-snowpiercer-d2a52d507766">Click Here</a>
