No - such a device would violate the 1st Law of Thermodynamics.

There are all sorts of formal proofs, but the simplest explanation perhaps can come from considering two options.
Option 1 requires an absolutely indestructible material of construction. If the machine ever wears out, perpetual motion ends. There is no known material that is absolutely indestructible.
Option 2 requires that the process operates perfectly, so that 100% of the energy required is provided by the machine. But, since any real machine wears, some of the energy of the machine's operation goes into that wear - often revealed as heat from friction - so less than 100% of the energy required is available from the machine itself...some is going into friction and waste heat.
By the way, it won't matter if you lower the friction with a lubricant. That just means the lubricant must be indestructible and there are no indestructible materials.

It was talked about, but no one can design the most efficient machine that at first takes on enregy to get it going and sustaining that perpetual motion without adding energy. In other words, it becomes self sufficient. No such machine can exist.
you'd probably be thinking about the sun, and how did it sustain that energy and constantly illuminate our galaxy. that fuel which keeps the sun going has got to come from somewhere, and obviously it is. The sun however is losing it's energy by the second as it radiates heat especially in the form of light. To me the sun in it's present state is very unstable. Therefore, the sources of fuel within core of the sun is so enormous that constantly causing chain reactions every scond until this chain reaction, someday used up that source of energy or fuel untill the very last chain reaction occurred will the sun finally stop or ceased to illuminate our galaxy. that's at least how I understand it works. Oh, well time to go to bed. Nity nite

It is not possible to create a perpetual motion machine i.e. a machine which would produce work continuously without consuming energy.
If this happens then it will go against the 1st law of thermodynamics which states that-
"Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, it can only be converted from one form to the other."

yes . The great power of nature alone is capapble of creating a perpetual machine and has done it .The electrons in the atoms of all elements are the only perpetual machines that are running for several zillions of years , even before the coming into being of the universe without consuming any energy and without expecting any reward , any partiality and tiredness and without wear and tear and rest .That is the great master of creation of all the animate and inanimate objects in he universe. The real creator which never claimed any recognition as such with arrogance . That is the life of all creatures, animate and inanimate , in this universe . If it stoped functioning for a moment , the whole universe will come to a stand still and all lives will cease to exist .Even the so-called self proclaimed mortal Gods would not have existed. The same machine of the microcosm is working in the macrocosm also .
the invisible mecahnism is visible in the universe in the solar system itself The planets and all galactic matter are moving incessasantly without consuming any energy and withour wear and tear from the time of their coming into being .But the machanism in the atom is working form infinity into infinity. The burning of any star does not result in consumption of any energy as the matter is only converted by burnign. Its work is not related to the space time singularity and not related to any event like the Big Bang .It s working is a phenamena with an absolute character as it does not depenad on any thing or any event .Even in a dead body , it is working . It is undying . It is unborn. That is god -.Ou creator and the creator of all things , animate and inanimate in this universe. It does not have a hell or heaven. It is impartial to all - to the sinner and saint . But thegod's of the religons are keepers of hell and heaven and are partial to their believers and non-believers. The eternal machine is the God's God .. This, even the greatest scientists who have won the Nobel prize are themselves yet to understand .They di d not have the guts to talk the truth for fear of reprisal by religion and bias.Or they really di d not understand it fully. Great men have been ignorant of simple truths that the most ordinary people like us were fully aware of .

There is no subset of the universe that conforms to the
concept of a "perpetual motion machine" as it would
violate the first law of thermodynamics.
HOWEVER - it may be that the ENTIRE universe represents
a perpetual motion machine. We don't know.

No, and there's no perpetual motion machine either.
BTW, and FYI, "preputal" is an adjective describing the prepuce or foreskin, so a "preputal motion machine" would be some kind of penis exerciser.

Not yet - but don't let the physical laws which presently prohibit it discourage you.
Remember, before engineers knew about vortexes, they concluded that it was impossible for a bumble to fly.
The bumble bee didn't know about vortexes or engineers, so it just continued to fly anyway.

every machine has to consume energy that's why there is no such machine.

no. Check out the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. Although a theory, no one has yet has succeeded in proving it wrong
