What Tests and Guidelines would a perpetual motion machine have to pass to be considered legit?
thanks everyone

perpetual motion(energy for nothing) is imposible,but that's not to say a device cannot extract energy from other sources, i believe you call it a catalist reaction
for example a water wheel turbine does not generate power by itself, it extracts energy from the moving water and nither the water or the wheel get used up, so by my definition it is a catalist that can turn linier force into rotary force and thus convert enercia into electricity
an over unity device is often mistakenly called perpetual motion
over unity is the idea that your input can be used to release or obtain more than you had orginaly,
example
the spark from the ignition coil which triggers the explosion in the fuel.
ZPE devices are not perpetual motion at all they are no diferent from a solar cell or radiant energy collector they just utillize existing energy in the surrounding enviroment
the problem is physics 101 forbids greater out put than input,and the very mis leading term perpetual motion means that often the term is used to explain the over unity, which is a load of CRAP.and renders the inventor a crackpot, its gunner be a while before people take a second look and start to consider them as energy harnessers and not perpetual motion machines
To elaborate
its been established that several unseen types of energy are present everywhere,scalar waves,ultra hi frequency EM waves,background static,cosmic & solar radiation, there is a lot of energy we can't see.
with some magnetic motors it has been proposed that they don't extract energy out of the magnet itself but that its fields interact with these other energy forms, that is where all the extra energy(over unity) is coming from, not the device itself.
