cd27 said:explain please.
the thread was for people who can help me get what i need for designs to actually make the device i was talking about.
i didn't expect for someone to be so short winded and just give me a link to something i can't even read. great help this site offers for a physics site...

A perpetual motion machine is a hypothetical machine that can continue to operate indefinitely without any external energy source. It is often described as a machine that can produce more energy than it consumes, violating the laws of thermodynamics.
No, it is not possible to design a perpetual motion machine. The laws of thermodynamics state that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted. Therefore, a perpetual motion machine that produces more energy than it consumes would violate these laws.
People continue to try to design perpetual motion machines because it is a fascinating concept and the idea of unlimited energy is appealing. However, all attempts have failed and have been proven to be impossible.
One famous example is the "perpetual motion wheel" designed by Jacob Leupold in the 18th century. It was a wheel with weighted arms that was supposed to rotate indefinitely, but it stopped after a few rotations due to friction and other factors. Another example is the Orffyreus Wheel, a similar design that was claimed to have operated for 54 days, but was later revealed to be a hoax.
No, a perpetual motion machine cannot be used as a source of free energy. As mentioned before, it would violate the laws of thermodynamics and is impossible to create. Any machine claiming to be a perpetual motion machine is either a misunderstanding or a fraud.
