Is a perpetual motion machine an invention that only works few times in history?

It never worked, and it never will. Even the universe isn't "perpetual" (or eternal).


What is an object that never stops moving called?

A perpetual motion machine (non-physical).


Does perpetual motion exists?

if planetary motion is to be considered perpetual , then the answer is yes. Bcoz usage of gravity determined by the temperature of sun and the planet respectively keeps them in motion . similarly designing a machine running on no additional costs, by using forces of nature can also be termed as perpetuals . rather than considering the laws , many of their designs using nature as their support can be at least encouraged to produce power .They can be put to use to provide the needs of the hour for future development. Moreover in this Universe there is no possibility to create a perpetual machine, as any machine/least known particle can never escape the force of gravity. so y not utilise it to create green energies. if that is the case , i have seen and checked thoroughly a working prototype already which can produce 50Mw at only an one time investment of 2.5 million $ for millions of years to come.why not use them instead of dangerous+costly atomic power plants. fred7sofi@yahoo.com


The disadvantages of friction?

Losses due to friction mean that in a closed system there is never 100% transfer of energy and therefore no such thing as Perpetual Motion machines (although some get close).


What is eternal energy?

Perpetual energy. Energy that never stops being produced, however it is impossible

How can an induction motor act as perpetual motion machine?

Perpetual motion machines are an impossibility. Energy conversion is never 100% efficient. Even if it were, friction is never zero.

What type of motion never ends?

Perpetual motion.


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.


What is a perpetual will?

Perpetual will is will that is indefinite and never ending. Will that does not end and therefore is perpetual. In a sentence: My will is perpetual, I will never stop trying and always believe in myself.


What is a perpetuity?

Perpetual will is will that is indefinite and never ending. Will that does not end and therefore is perpetual. In a sentence: My will is perpetual, I will never stop trying and always believe in myself.

How can some things never run out of battery energy?

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - that can never run out of energy.
