Perpetual motion

"In this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!"

- Homer Simpson

When I was eight or nine, I was very concerned about the environment. "Reduce. Reuse. Recycle." was my slogan and I promised myself that my first car purchase would be an electric (now I'm leaning toward a totally clean hydrogen car). When I was a little older, I got an M.C. Escher calendar for Christmas and was pretty fascinated by the idea of creating a perpetually flowing stream. I tried to "invent" one that used a mill to capture the energy, but never got it to work. When I started seeing articles about an Irish company that seems to have created a perpetual motion machine using magnetic fields, my interest was piqued. There's a good chance it's a scam, but we'll know the truth once scientists test it. I mean, the first law of thermodynamics is empirical, so there's no reason why it couldn't be proven wrong. Decide for yourself.
