If "perpetual motion" means something works without energy and can even overcome resistive forces like friction, then it is impossible. But if all we want to do is make it work, it might be possible. It can't work without energy, of course, but if we used resources that are already here and not likely to stop in our lifetime (gravity, wind, sunlight, the Earth's rotation, tides, etc.) for all practical purposes I suspect we could make a machine that acts like a perpetual motion machine.

A little creative fun with Bhaskara's wheel and an overbalanced chain ;-)

Daffy Doug has not been back. I'm not laughing. You make something like this? They will shut you DOWN! Google Wilhelm Reich. "Nuff said.

Yeah, I made one once. They paid me a ton of money to keep quite which is why all my time is spent here now.

From the sights webpage: "Perpetual Motion Machines The term perpetual motion, taken literally, refers to movement that goes on forever. However, perpetual motion usually refers to a device or system that delivers more energy than was put into it. Such a device or system would be in violation of the law of Conservation of Energy, which states that energy can never be created or destroyed, and is therefore deemed impossible by the laws of physics. Our working models assist us to better explain the impossibility of Perpetual Motion. It's excellent tool to discuss first and second Laws of Thermodynamics, Hydrostatic equilibrium Law, Law of Gravity, efficiency, friction,... Please, be advised: These Videos are of motorized versions that were built to illustrate how these machines were supposed to work in the minds of Inventors." http://www.veproject1.org/vepprograms.htm

I actually think it is kind of cool that the guy at veproject1 took the time to build all of these "working" perpetual motion machines. That's a specialized level of nerdiness I admire.
