A 'perpetual motion machine' that can continue working without applying energy from outside is impossible in the real world. However, figurines that look like perpetual motion machines are being sold ...

Time crystals exhibit perpetual motion-like behavior when separated from external energy input, but scientists found a way to ...

On Sept. 20, 1913, rumors were running rampant around North Dakota that J. W. Kennedy, of Mandan, North Dakota, had invented just such a machine. A news clipping about J.W. Kennedy and his perpetual ...

The search for a perpetual motion machine has been the chupacabra of physics for centuries. Multiple designs have been made, tested and, ultimately, found lacking. Perpetual motion machines are ...

On November 12th, 1717, clockmaker and mechanic Johann Bessler placed a 12-foot diameter, strange-looking wheel into a room. With a tender push, he started the contraption rotating, then confidently ...

In a groundbreaking scientific achievement, researchers have successfully created a new phase of matter known as time crystals, which fascinatingly exhibit behaviors akin to perpetual motion. We will ...

Remember that zany Irish company Steorn, who claimed to have built a working perpetual motion machine that could produce clean, free energy out of a few magnets and some plastic discs? Well, they're ...

Perpetual motion devices are either a gag, a scam, or as in the case of this particular toy that [Big Clive] bought on AliExpress, a rather fascinating demonstration of a contact-free inductive sensor ...
