Best Answer

You need a frictionless mechanism for perpetual motion. Even with zero contact, the atmosphere itself exerts friction. If you were able to devise a zero contact mechanism in a vacuum, you would still need a propulsion system that would create as much energy as it uses, so far this is not possible.

How do you make a perpetual motion machine?

Perpetual motion is theoretically impossible. In order to have perpetual motion, you would need over 100 percent efficiency and to overcome drag, gravity and friction. When faced with someone who claims to have one, it is often quite difficult to see where they have erred. The patent office insists on a working prototype for this reason. The inventors usually have great zeal and can be quite intelligent, but when pressed for details, refuse to divulge them. The long colorful history of perpetual motion devices can be found online.
