Has anyone created a perpetual motion machine yet?
No, perpetual motion is prohibited by the laws of thermodynamics.There are machines that might at first seem to be perpetual motion machines but only because their source of energy may not be readily apparent.add. But in economics, inflation serves the purpose of a perpetual motion machine, in which more currency is created continuously. And which serves to illustrate the reality of economics.
What is the difference between perpetual motion machines of first kind and perpetual motion machines of the second kind?
Neither first or second kind of perpetual motion machines can be constructed, beacuse their existence violates the first law of Thermodynamics
Why is a perpetual motion machine not possible?
It's not possible because it would violate one or both of the laws of thermodynamics. The first law of thermodynamics says that you can't create energy from nothing, or to out it another way, you can't get more energy out of a machine than you put into it. The second law says that no machine is 100% efficient. You must actually get less energy out of a machine than you put into it. The laws of thermodynamics apply to the entire universe and all bodies within it, including alleged perpetual motion machines.
What is perpatual motion?
It is the idea of a machine continuously producing energy, without energy input - or producing more energy than what is put into the machine. This would violate the First Law of Thermodynamics (conservation of energy), and in general, it is not believed to be possible. No process is known which violates the conservation of energy. (A "perpetual motion machine of the second kind" would violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics; this is generally believed to be impossible, too.)
What describes a perpetual-motion machine?
A motor that requires no energy input once it is running
Who thought of perpetual motion first?
Bhaskara Achārya was the first recorded person to propose a perpetual motion machine, inventing a wheel that he hypothesised would run forever in around 1150 AD.
What is Perpetual Motion Machine first kind?
A perpetual motion machine of the first kind it what we usually mean by a perpetual motion machine. A device which once started will continue to run and do useful work forever without the need to add energy to keep it going. The laws of physics make such a device impossible.

What law of thermodynamics allows perpetual energy machines?
The first law might allow a perpetual energy machine where energy is extracted from the surroundings to power the machine, but the second law explains why such a perpetual motion machine won't actually be able to work.
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.

How perpetual motion device can break the first and second law of the thermodynamics?
It can't. That's the simplest way to explain why no successful perpetual motion machine has ever been built. --------------------------------------------------------------- Another contributor persisted: well it's just a matter of time and life!
Acoording to second law thermodyamic there is no machine which doenot work on extenal agenice but how Cosmic Polymath prepared a Perpetual motion machine?
A "perpetual motion" machine basically is one that violates either the First or the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This really isn't possible, according to our current knowledge of physics. Nobody - I repeat, NOBODY - has ever created such a machine. Sure, there have been lots of claims about creating such machines, but no such claim has stood up to a close scrutiny.
Do you still use perpetual motion machines today?
We have never invented a perpetual motion machine and never will. A perpetual motion machine relies on the fact that we can get as much or more energy out of a machine than we put into it. However, this is in contradiction to the Second and First Law of Thermodynamics, respectively. The First Law of Thermodynamics states that you can't get more out of a system than you can get in. This is along the lines of 'energy cannot be made, only transformed'. The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that you can't be 100% efficient; some energy will always be lost to heat. An example uses Carnot (heat) engines; it would only be 100% efficient if we could reach absolute zero, which is impossible.

Is perpetual motion theoretically possible using gravity as a constant source of energy?
No. Perpetual motion is equivalent to "infinite energy", and is not the first law of thermodynamics "Mass-energy is neither created nor destroyed"? You would have to do at least the same amount of work lifting objects up against gravity as you would get out of the system from gravity.
