Why Perpetual Motion Machines Can’t Exist

  1. Perpetual motion machines claim to run forever without fuel or energy input.
  2. The First Law of Thermodynamics blocks them—energy can’t be created from nothing.
  3. The Second Law also stops them—some energy always leaks away as heat or friction.
  4. No machine can be 100% efficient; losses make endless motion impossible.
  5. Friction in gears, air resistance, and wear all drain energy over time.
  6. Even in space, radiation and resistance would sap a perpetual machine’s energy.
  7. Countless inventors tried—none succeeded, though many clever designs fooled people.
  8. Science accepts no exceptions: perpetual motion violates fundamental physical laws.
  9. That’s why patent offices now refuse applications for perpetual motion devices.
  10. Instead of magic machines, engineers focus on efficiency—making the most of real energy.
