Why We Don’t Discuss Perpetual Motion Machines (PMM)
Jan 30, 2020 · The short answer is that a PMM would violate either conservation of energy, the 2nd law of thermodynamics, or both. To a scientist or engineer, that is enough. Case closed, thread closed. But that may sound insufficient, dismissive, or even rude to the posters. So a longer explanation follows.
