Is Perpetual Motion Possible?
Perpetual motion will never be possible unless some one discovers a way to overcome the law of gravitation and also the certainty that materials will eventually wear out. Many men have tried to make a machine that would keep on moving forever without the application of any power, the consumption of fuel within itself, the fall of weights or the unwinding of a spring; such a machine would be absolutely impossible, although many people have been fooled into investing money in machines that appeared to have this power within themselves.
