perpetual motion machines


English Wikipedia - The Free EncyclopediaDownload this dictionary
Perpetual motion
A perpetual motion is a motion of enduring physical objects that are very large compared with atoms, that continues indefinitely. This is impossible because of friction and other modes of degradation or disruption of form. A perpetual motion machine is a hypothetical machine that can do work indefinitely without an energy source. This kind of machine is impossible, as it would violate the first or second law of thermodynamics.
