Awesomeness.
My wife will not be impressed with what is about to happen to her cat.

Now for a perpetual motion machine that actually works.....
We all know that if you drop a piece of buttered toast that it will always land buttered side down. It's one of those annoying facts of physics that we live with, day-to-day.
Now, we also know that a cat - when dropped - will always land on it's feet.
All we have to do is attach a piece of buttered toast to the back of the cat with the buttered side facing up.
Now we simply drop the cat and watch the wonder of nature as the cats natural instinct to land on its feet is counteracted by the toasts natural tendency to land buttered side down.....We are ultimately left with a feline hovering above the ground in a permanent state of rotation.

Butcher guy, perpetual has never meant forever, as forever is nonsense. Nothing is "forever" not even space or time. You are interpreting it to mean "forever" which is nonsense. If a man makes a machine and it runs for the length of his life without outside energy added, it would be labeled as perpetual motion, by every scientist on the planet. Stop using semantics to try to argue your point. It is not based in rational thought.
Erm you are having a laugh please look up the meaning of perpetual ! For those without a dictionary or are unwilling to look it up lest the description conflicts with their belief system, perpetual means forever.
Every true scientist on the planet would only label a machine as perpetual if they believed it would run forever....as in the dictionary definition.
there is more energy in once cubic centimetre of space, than all that we can see in the observeable universe

You call BS... and me a liar.... so you don't want to know, fair enough.

Perpetual motion is not impossible, perpetual motion in one constant state at one constant wavelength is impossible because it breaks all the rules of this universe. The one constant is change,
Motion from where to where?
the second constant is motion,
Rock lyrics?Really?hmmm."You never studied..."
between the two you have the thing called life and death.
Perpetual motion is impossible because everything eventually breaks down, even atoms, and the magnetic forces and the rest of the forces in the universe eventually lose there charge and power. So as you see, you cant make it go on forever, but ya you can make something that goes on for a long long time, even millennia or possibly for eons, but eventually everything just breaks down and changes, so nothing goes in one constant perpetual motion forever.

I would like to see Perpetual motion machine, but that is impossible. Motion is energy, and energy doesn't spawn from nothingness. All the Perpetual motion machines I have seen stop at some point.
If they work, our physics are wrong and science is failure

I ll give the device a shot I built the Tesla Radiant energy circuit and it works.
