perpetual motion

There's a power station in Wales somewhere which does that.
Except they pump it back at night I think.

the station in Wales is Dinorwic, used for generating electricity at exceedingly short notice, it's used when 2 million kettles are switched on after a good TV programme.

I did some work for somebody a few weeks ago - he is convinced he's created such a machine too. It seems to be a mental aberration.
I asked him how he defeated friction, but he couldn't say.

There's a few on here who certainly know how to create friction.

A perpetual motion machine or device is the only invention not allowed under patent laws,,, simply because such a machine/invention cannot possibly work.

With the one exception of the Inland Revenue tax collection "machine". That never ceases and seems to both accelerate and expand ad infinitum

Nah, can't be classed as PM - too much inefficiency.
