Perpetual motion machines, also known as perpetual motion devices, are machines that are designed to run indefinitely without any external energy input. While they may sound like a fascinating and innovative idea, they are actually impossible to create due to the laws of thermodynamics.

This means that in order for a machine to operate indefinitely, it would have to generate more energy than it uses, which is impossible. But that obstacle hasn't stopped scientists from trying to achieve this. Despite this…
