Also SEAMINGLY endless......Or just for a growing SEASON.
You can't just pick the one you want when there are several
You are Wrong, and so is the person who gave you a star. !!! The Moon is moving away from the Earth at approx 1.5 inches per year....So its gonna keep orbiting for potentially many many billions of years to come, and if you don't think that's perpetual then you need help.

But please understand everyone's skepticism. Over-unity has been demonstrated to exist, but only in very small amounts and so far, only in LEDs under specific conditions. (source) ...
An LED’s power conversion (wall-plug) efficiency varies inversely with its optical output power. Wall-plug efficiency can exceed 100%, the unity efficiency, at low applied voltages and high temperatures....
This light-emitting process cools the LED slightly, making it operate similar to a thermoelectric cooler. Although the cooling is insufficient to provide practical cooling at room temperature, it could potentially be used for designing lights that don’t generate heat. When used as a heat pump, the device might be useful for solid-state cooling applications or even power generation.

The moon will eventually break orbit though. It won't continue on forever.
Orbits are not a perpetual movement.

Soooo, Planets in orbit for BILLIONS OF YEARS are NOT perpetual enough.......
Nope.
They are slowly falling towards their foci, shedding "gravitational potential energy" as their orbits get ever smaller.

How do you know ? You thought the Moon would crash into the Earth until I told you the Moon was actually moving away from the Earth.
So who's to say the Moon couldn't move out of its orbit for a few hundred feet and then move back into its orbit on a constant cycle for eternity ????
No-one knows so therefore a far as anyone can say the Moon's orbit must be perpetual in every sense of the word.

A body in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force.....Isaac Newton
So the Moon is in a state of perpetual motion until some other force changes that fact.

I don't think you will grasp this concept, but by your logic my car is a perpetual motion device. If you don't understand the logic, let me know and I'll clue you in.
