If you can find a way to block magnetic fields with a material that does not itself react to magnetic fields, I'll show you a perpetual motion machine.

But no such material exists. So its over.

All he has to do, though, is create a machine which his friend cannot prove doesn't create perputual motion.  That is, the slowing down of the device cannot be observed within a reasonable timeframe.  And that is possible, theoretically.

LOL You LOSE matey, as Im sure has been mentioned they are impossible. FRICTION!!

Save yerself a lot of time and bother and just pay up to yer mate.

first, create a circular magnetic track that goes down hill the whole way. Then put a car on it and itll just keep going around. Problem solved.

Create the theoritical universe in which we sometimes think, where friction can = 0.

Take off your pants and position your self on a massuse table so as your cock is through the face hole.  Then swing your twig and giggle berries around in a circular motion.  If you have the mass, it will continue to swing in circles.

We call this the helicopter in my house.

Cock Helicopter=Perpetual Motion.

it's slowing down and drifting away.

Try harder.

If you really REALLY want somethign vaguely close then try the stirling engine - check http://auto.howstuffworks.com/stirling-engine.htm out. Its very clever, although very difficult to control, but would probably convince most idiots - more info here - http://www.stirlingengine.com/ecommerce … duct_id=78

But yeah, Mr. Pollux is runninf out of ides, too obvious on this one... lol...

The rest of you are idiots.  At this moment I have two cats hovering/spinning above the kitchen floor.

Really Fancy, I think you're trying to hard now.  You can do better.  One would hope.

LOL this thread is hilarious. 15 year olds missing the joke and trying to prove they're smart.

But seriously, I confess, I was only trying to hide the fact that it is possible. Being an engineer myself, I always knew that thermodynamics was a load of crap. All you need to make one is some peanut butter and a lot of duct tape. I'm sure that solved the puzzle for you.

You know what to do..

Either that or a Duracell-bunny.
Well, I'm glad I read through all the comments instead of just posting right away, like I was gonna, since I would not have otherwise known the following two things:

1. Somebody already posted the cat / buttered-bread machine solution
2. About 85% of the posters need to replace the batteries in their joke-detectors

First some background.

There is this guy at my work who is a physics geek and was the valedictorian of our high school. I'm pretty cool
with him. However, he is an idiot in that he totally underestimates my intelligence and physics ability.

He bet me a month's salary that I couldn't build a perpetual motion machine by September 1st.

It should be easy, but what are some sites to get me started? I did a google search and basically only got sites on the history of people building these machines throughout history, but no in-depth guides or anything.
Impossible m8 sorry.

you win. the planet called "Earth" IS, in itself, A PERPETUAL MOTION machine.
