Solar system goes around for billions of years. Pretty perpetual I think.
Here is a perpetual machine for you. A pipe with an osmotic membrane is submerged in the sea. At about 850 psi pure salt free water starts to fill the pipe. With a column of water in the pipe of about 20,000 feet the weight of the column will be lighter than the pressure needed to operate. You will have an artesian well in the middle of the ocean or wherever it is deep enough for your pipe. The reverse osmosis filter in a house takes less pressure becuse the salts concentration is less. The required pressure is proportional to the salt content.

The Heart.
The nearest to "perpetual".
Beats over 2 billion times.

No. But there are real devices that can fake it. For example, an electronic device with an antenna that extracts useful power from the air. The local radio station is then providing the power.

This concept is physically impossible due to the principle of conservation of energy and the law of diminishing returns.

No. STOP TRYING TO DEFY THE LAWS OF PHYSICS! The physics police will have put to death. They're worse than muslim clerics.
