PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINE

For many centuries scientists and inventors have tried to 
create perpetual motion machines, but even in those times they 
understood that the attempts to build such machines were  vain and 
foolish. 
Bishop Wilkins’ magnetic perpetual motion machine can be a 
good example of "freak and curiosity". They say he believed it was 
perpetual motion machine, but in fact it is the illustration of  waste of 
time.The first documented perpetual motion machines were 
described by  Indian author Bhaskara. This machine represents 
awheel with containers and  mercury in them. One more example 
of  perpetual motion machine is Taccola's wheel. Leonardo da Vinci 
analyzed the results of other inventors and  came to a conclusion that 
either displacement of gravity or  disbalance of the device could not 
lead to perpetual motional. Mark Anthony Zimara suggested a 
perpetual motion machine without the use of water or a weight, like 
the wheel of a windmill. This is an early example of the "boostrap" 
principle of perpetual motion. 
Over the time inventors became less interested in creating just 
a perpetual motion machine, they wanted an “over-unity” 
performance — unlimited energy output for free. "Over-unity" 
means an energy efficiency greater than one. Let’s assume we are to 
get 200% efficiency. What is the best way to do it? The first device 
being powered should shore 50% of its energy with the device 
adjusted to it. 
Having tested all  these devices there is no doubt that in 
theory they have the right to existence, but practically as Jacob 
Leupold said "you can't get more work out than you put in"!
