NOT USEFUL: thought: two black holes, one above the other, drop the ball down the bottom one, it comes out the top one and goes back throught the bottom one and around and around again, even if this amazing feat could be achieved, how could you harness the energy.. (needless to say if you could produce two "worm holes" you probably aint gonna bother dropping a metal ball down one for you amusement..(though you never know , could be a desk ornament by the year 4006,
bearing in mind:
There are three laws of thermodynamics: you can't get something for nothing, you can't win, and you have to lose. The first law says you can't produce matter or energy from nothing; they are conserved. The second says the amount of entropy in the universe can only increase. The third notes that friction exists, so entropy does increase

black hole should probably read worm hole..

in order for both black holes to exist in a proximity that would allow this fictional ball to travel between them (even though it would be compressed to infinitly small partical each time it passed thorough one) they would have to be equally sized and opposite as the ball would have to escape the gravitation acceleration of one black hole inorder to enter the gravitation pull of the other. if there where three or more black holes spaced far enough apart so that thier gravitational pull would not act on each other causing them to collapse, then they could be situated in a circular orientation which would allow the ball to travel through one and accelerate toward the next.
While this occurs; will the ball approach the speed of light inturn turn the infintly small particle into a infinity large partical beause the energy would exponentially increase?
The ball gets compressed by the gravitational forces of the black hole...but the velocity increases and therefore causes the energy to increase????
Even though black holes are not really black holes...I play along

In theory if we could develop a gravity engine then that would be a perpetual motion generator as gravitational energy is not "consumed" as the mass of an object does not decreased no matter how much gravitational energy it "gives off" Of course I have no idea how to harness this type of energy but if I did I wouldn't tell you until I had got the patent sorted plus you would only need one black hole

Perpetual motion can be achieved in an environment when there is no friction or other forces acting on your object to stop it. Say you throw a ball in space, that ball will continue going in space until it gets pulled in by a gravity field. If there isn't any other matter exerting a force on your object, theoretically it will travel forever and ever. Furthermore, a blackhole is just a collapsed star that is so dense that it's gravity is pulling in everything, even light, hence it looks like a blackhole.

YES, and the following is from Wikipedia
"Just how impossible is impossible?
Scientists and engineers accept the possibility that the current understanding of the laws of physics may be incomplete or incorrect; a perpetual motion device may not be impossible, but overwhelming evidence would be required to justify rewriting the laws of physics."
The top Scientists and Engineers agree that the laws of science as they know it, maybe wrong and some may even be missing.
This also includes the ''laws'' of thermodynamics!
Which means everyone that says perpetual motion is impossible is dumber than president ''dumb@ss'' bush

however, dependent on the energy source, we can create machines which produce energy and emit no harmful byproducts.
although perpeptual energy is the grail we seek, it is at this time unnatainable. but they said man would never fly, or visit the moon..history has us beaten before we start, oh youll never do that... thats impossible that is...
i dont think the people of Nagasaki thought the bright light was an impossible dream that would never work, waht about lasers, microwave, tv, and communications via sattelite..all but the thoughts of dreamers and sci fi writers in teh 30's..80 years later its an everyday reality.
dont dismiss it, because youve been told its impossible, its only impossible because theyve failed to develop teh ideas and build the machine. mans ingenuity grows exponentially...and we will find the grail. for we dare not consider teh consequences of it remaining hidden.
how easily and readily we forget what we already know.

You said it: can't violate the thermo laws. You posit dropping a ball into a black hole. It doesn't come out again.

Of all the wrong descriptions a "Black Hole" beats the lot!
"Oh look a hole"!
A dark or black star would be better.
As for worm holes, it is a mathematical theory, not yet proven.

Hi. Perpetual motion occurs all the time in space. Just look at an object (like Pluto) in orbit. You CANNOT extract energy though.

What is your fascination with metal balls??. Have you ever heard of a singularity????
