Trying to build a perpetuum mobile

Just imagine the huge benefits of a non-stop working machine, which could create energy out of nothing. If this might sound silly now , ...well , humanity needed quite a long time to realise that this is impossible! In fact, during many centuries, thousands of people have tried building such a machine (now called a first degree perpetuum mobile), but with no positive result. The scientific prove that a first degree p.m. is impossible is given …

…Tab/>Even before the first principle of thermodynamics was discovered the French Academy had stated that it is impossible to built a perpetuum mobile and so, every demand of examining or testifying the construction of such a machine will be neglected, thus putting an end to this centuries old world-wide mania!
