RE: i like the perpentuum mobile.

Dave,

I don't know if you are old enough to remember Ripley's Believe It or Not in Times Square. Towards the rear, they had a device labeled "Perpetual Motion?". Right by the device was a speaker playing at a good volume. The sound of the speaker covered up the hidden mechanism, which kept it turning. ;>)

ALL perpetual motion machines are frauds! Some frauds are more clever than other frauds.

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS is THE law, as surely as V = IR. If ΔG is not negative, the process is denounced.

A version of "Murphy's Law"; you can't win, you can't break even, and you can't quit the game; sums this bit of physical reality up well.
