no, it would be a violation of Newtons third law...it would have to generate more energy than the energy it uses

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

I think it is. I think about satellites. The definition of a pmm is once you start it you don´t need any extra power to keep it going. Satellites don´t get any extra power after they have been launched. gravity does the rest of the work for eternity as long as no meteorite crashes intothe satellite.

How does a perpetual motion machine work?

it depends on what you use to build it


A time can come when you will be able to design a machine which can go on working for ever without the expenditure of energy is it possible?

Perpetual motion machines have fascinated people for centuries. However there are some scientific reasons, at least for now, that this would not be completely possible. Here's a deal: You get the law of conservation of mass/energy repealed, and I'll build your perpetual motion machine.


Why can't electric suppliers use electric motors to spin the generators?

If you are suggesting a "perpetual motion" scenerio, it would violate the first or second laws of thermodynamics. Many inventors dream of perpetual motion machines, but they are an impossible dream according to the laws of thermodynamics. The second law of thermodynamics says that an engine or process of any type must always have an efficiency of less than 100%. A perpetual motion machine that uses a generator to power the motor that runs the generator requires both the generator and motor to operate with 100% efficiency. This type of perpetual motion machine does not violate the first law of thermodynamics, but violates the second law of thermodynamics. It is a perpetual motion machine of the second kind because it violates the second law of thermodynamics. Not even the cleverest engineer or inventor can build a perpetual motion machine because it would violate either the first or second law of thermodynamics, which are fundamental laws of physics.


When Tesla suggested the AC motor his teacher humiliated him and said he was trying to create what?

The teacher said he had to build a perpetual machine. Of course he was wrong about that.


Is it possible that you could build a time machine?

Well anything is possible if you put your head to it!


Is building a real time machine an easy job to do?

It is not possible to build a time machine. So NO it is not easy, it is impossible.


Is it possible to build a shrink machine?

Its already been done! Just leave it in the microwave too long??


How does a gravity generator?

The term "gravity generator" seems to be used for different concepts. The first hits in Google are related to machines that purport to provide "free energy", in other words, a perpetuum mobile (perpetual motion machine). Such machines are not possible to build - there are good reasons to believe that the Law of Conservation of Energy is valid, in other words, you can't make energy out of nothing. You can see many such designs, and explanations of why they don't work, if you search the Internet for "the museum of unworkable devices".


Is there anybody who is using a 'free energy generator'?

There is no such thing. There is no such thing. 1) It costs money to build any machine; you can't build a machine for free. 2) But pressumably, this refers to get energy where there was none before; this is not physically possible.


How do you build a device much like the one christ from sonic x used to teleport himself to sonics world?

That was a fiction machine. We do not think that is possible to build.


What is the condition of the time machine?

The question is a bit ambiguous. I'll assume you mean "What conditions have to be fulfilled in order to build a time machine".It would seem that it isn't possible to actually build a time machine. So far, this remains the realm of fantasy and science fiction stories.
