Birds taught us to build airplanes. Meanwhile, science also knows how to propagate satellites through space using gravity and the magnetic waves of the planets. Now study the endless movements of the planets around the sun and (possibly) their axis itself based on the same forces, reduce the scale and use small magnets of possibly different sizes and bring them into the same configuration, taking into account the earth’s gravitational field and magnetic field. This way you get a perpetuum mobile. It is then a breeze for technicians to generate electricity from this and you have an environmentally neutral inexhaustible source of energy at a low cost. By scaling down and enlarging you can provide all devices with it. On the smallest scale, electrons (-) may also move in the same way around the proton (+) and neutron nucleus of an atom. Free energy for the whole world without emissions and without burdening the earth. Is my vision too simple or is it already being researched?
Answer
Dear Chris
A perpetual motion machine is a system that continues to perform a movement forever without adding energy to it, but also without taking energy from it.
We cannot get energy from a perpetuum mobile, then the energy in the perpetuum mobile will decrease and we change the movement. The systems you cite are so large that on our time scale we do not directly observe the losses and it therefore seems as if they could be an infinite source of energy.
On a small scale you will quickly see that the perpetuum mobile stops when you remove the energy (friction losses). For example, a large flywheel can rotate for a long time almost without friction, but eventually always stops, even without putting useful energy into it.
This is all summarized in one of the most important laws of physics, the first law

Many have tried to negate this but have never succeeded and probably never will, there always appears to be a finite source of energy hidden in the system. A list of examples that sometimes have a well-hidden source of energy can also be found here:

I hope this brings you some clarity, let me know if you have any questions…

Michael
