Welcome, CMM!! Good points! Nice to see a thoughtful, cogent response.
Could the OP be trying to explain the concept (still a bit "out there", I admit) of 'ZPE'??
The British scientist and author C.P. Snow had an excellent way of remembering the three laws:
1. You cannot win (that is, you cannot get something for nothing, because matter and energy are conserved).
2. You cannot break even (you cannot return to the same energy state, because there is always an increase in disorder; entropy always increases).
3. You cannot get out of the game (because absolute zero is unattainable).

What goes up, must come down.
What Expands will eventually contract.

True but some clever people have figured out how to add this energy to make it look like a perpetual motion machine:
Atmos Clock
Isn't something that runs by itself forever like that kind of a perpetual motion machine? And I know they are real, my father has one and it needs no winding, no batteries. It just keeps running forever (or until something breaks I guess).

Nope, not a perpetual motion machine. It may look like one, but it is not. In order for it to be a perpetual motion machine, it must create energy or run by itself forever without any new energy being input. This clock derives energy from temperature and atmospheric pressure changes.
It's pretty impressive though.
A mechanism which, once set in motion, continues to do useful work without an input of energy,

Right but it LOOKS like a perpetual motion machine, according to this definition:

There's no VISIBLE input of energy, it literally draws its energy out of thin air. I think that's pretty close to the holy grail some people in the free energy world seek.
So I say why try to build a free energy machine that violates the laws of physics when we can build one that doesn't? It's got to be easier to build one that doesn't, like the Atmos clock.
