What is perpetual motion?

Perpetual motion is something that doesn't stop moving once it's been moved, but this kind of movement is not possible, as it would violate either the first or second law of thermodynamics or both. Or is it? That's what we are going to find out in this article.

A lot of people have tried to build a perpetual motion machine, and there are a lot of them online, but none of them actually work.

Why would you do it?

I strongly believe that there are, in fact, ways to cause perpetual motion to happen. But why would you want to do that?

Well, first of all, it would be cool. Second of all, we would be able to generate an infinite amount of kinetic energy, wich can be coverted to electricity for big projects in the future.

How to do it?

According to Newton's first law, if you throw any object away in space, it will not stop moving unless another object stops it. So what we could try, is building a windmill-like machine in space that would never stop moving. We could put thousands of these machines in a giant space factory to generate infinite energy, and send the energy to Earth with batteries that we could put inside of spacecrafts.
