Short answer: NoIf perpetual motion is a device where "more energy is extracted than put in" then wouldn't nuclear energy be such a thing?
Most of our tech is run by machines that produce more energy over their lifetime than we used to make them. For all intents and purposes solar power over eons is perpetual motion, and we've harnessed it since the beginning of our existence.
The first law f thermodynamics states that all energy already exists in a closed system and cannot be created or destroyed. Isn't that by definition perpetual energy, if the energy must continueto exist in one form or another? The question is only how we can make it useable.
Something to think about. ?
