Proposing a Revised Definition of Perpetual Motion Machine

Abstract

t was shown recently that the conclusion of the non-existence of perpetual motion machines (PMM) is based on a sound yet incomplete proof. The implication of this result is that whether or not we can construct a PMM is still unknown. This result directly challenges mainstream scientists long times belief: It is impossible to construct a PMM. Traditionally, mainstream scientists use laws of thermodynamics to conclude the non-existence of perpetual motion machines. We believe that mainstream scientists still pin their faith on their belief unless a workable PMM can be constructed. Conventional definition of PMM is very subjective. Under this kind of definition, it is very hard to construct a PMM. We need an objective definition of PMM to start with. In this paper, we will clarify the theory of PMM. Then, we will propose a revised version of definition of PMM. Clarifying the related theory will help us to tackle the PMM problem in the right direction. The revised definition of PMM will provide us useful guidelines to construct a workable PMM.
