Perpetual motion

October 1920 issue of Popular Science magazine,
on perpetual motion. Although considered impossible
 by scientists, perpetual motion continues to capture
 the imagination of inventors. The device shown is
 a "mass leverage" device, where the spherical weights
 on our right have more leverage than those on the left,
supposedly creating a perpetual rotation, but there
 are a greater number of weights to our
left, balancing the device.

Perpetual motion describes hypothetical machines that operate or produce useful work indefinitely and, more generally, hypothetical machines that produce more work or energy than they consume, whether they might operate indefinitely or not.
