The three laws of thermodynamics describe the general problems (and the PMM wiki describes the associated violations) and many claimed PMMS are not well enough developed to take further. But for ones that are, the violations can be anything. Common ones include Newton's laws of motion, Ohms law Archemede's principle and Lentz's law.Ethan_Tab said:In what ways would a perpetual machine violate the laws of physics?

A perfect machine is a hypothetical device that operates without any external energy input and is able to generate unlimited energy or movement. It is often referred to as a perpetual motion machine.
No, it is not possible to create a perfect machine. The laws of thermodynamics dictate that it is impossible to create a perpetual motion machine that operates without any energy input from an external source.
The idea of a perfect machine has fascinated scientists and inventors for centuries. Many believe that if a perfect machine could be created, it would revolutionize the world and solve many energy problems. However, the search for perpetual motion possibilities is largely considered a futile pursuit.
No, no perfect machines have been created. There have been many attempts throughout history to create a perpetual motion machine, but all have failed due to the laws of thermodynamics.
If a perfect machine were to be created, it would violate the laws of thermodynamics and fundamentally change our understanding of physics. It could also have disastrous consequences, such as causing widespread energy shortages or environmental damage.
