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 can one build a perpetual motion machine using magnets?

It is not possible to build a perpetual motion machine using magnets because it goes against the laws of physics. Perpetual motion machines would violate the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted.


How can one build a perpetual motion machine that can generate unlimited energy without the need for external sources of power?

It is currently not possible to build a perpetual motion machine that can generate unlimited energy without external sources of power. The laws of physics, specifically the law of conservation of energy, dictate that perpetual motion machines are not feasible.


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 Here's a deal: You get the law of conservation of mass/energy repealed, and I'll build your perpetual motion machine.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 are perpetual machines impossible to build?

Perpetual machines violate the first or second law of thermodynamics by creating energy out of nothing or using it in a completely efficient manner. These laws state that energy cannot be created or destroyed, and there will always be some energy lost as heat in any process. As a result, perpetual motion or perpetual machine is not feasible in reality.


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

Tesla's teacher said he was trying to create a perpetual motion machine, which was considered impossible at the time. Tesla's design for the AC motor, however, revolutionized the field of electricity and became the basis for modern electrical power systems.

How does a perpetual motion machine work?

it depends on what you use to build it

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.

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??


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.
