The english word "Perpetual Motion" is actually defined more like "perpetual work," or "perpetual motion against friction," or "perpetual acceleration." A solar system or a frictionless flywheel is *not* an example of a PM device, if we're using the usual meaning of "PM." When you build a successful PM machine, everyone knows about it. They notice the large new crater in your neighborhood where your garage once stood. (((((((((((((((((( ( ( ( ( (O) ) ) ) ) ))))))))))))))))))) William J.

However, the term more commonly refers to any device or system that perpetually (indefinitely) produces more energy than it consumes, resulting in a net output of energy for indefinite time. The total momentum-energy of the universe is fixed and constant.

Yes... fixed at the value of ALL... and NOTHING. If our "Universe" is a mere "bubble" inside a larger Superverse, then your claim needs re-evaluation.
