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.


Why would a perpetual motion machine not work?

A perpetual motion machine would not work because it violates the laws of thermodynamics, specifically the first and second laws. These laws dictate that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed, and that in any energy transfer or transformation, there will always be some energy lost as heat. Therefore, a perpetual motion machine cannot exist as it would require continuously producing energy without any losses.


Why is the virtual perpetual motion machine not realistic?

A perpetual motion machine is not realistic because it violates the laws of thermodynamics, specifically the first and second laws. These laws state that energy cannot be created or destroyed, and that systems tend to move towards a state of increased entropy. Any system claiming to produce perpetual motion would go against these fundamental principles.


Is it possible to develop a perpetual motion machine?

Theoretically it is impossible. Many have tried and many continue to attempt to develop a perpetual motion machine. Only if there is no friction and no energy is lost to the surroundings, would perpetual motion be possible... No. Such machines are not possible, although until the end of mankind people will perpetually try to imagine or create one.


Why is a perpetual motion machine impossible?

Perpetual motion machine is impossible because of the loss of energy due to friction or some other factors. This becomes clear in case of heat engine too. Certain amount of energy will be lost in irreversible way. Hence perpetual motion becomes impossible.

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.

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.)


Why a perpetual motion machine can never be built?

A perpetual motion machine cannot be built because it would violate the laws of thermodynamics, specifically the first and second laws. The first law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted. The second law states that in any energy transfer or conversion, some energy is always lost as heat, making it impossible to achieve 100% energy efficiency in a machine.
