With oil gas running out surely there is something better ?

yes it is.. they are currently thinking of producing this maglev train which runs inside a vacuum tunnel under the sea. however it will take a lot of energy to keep the tunnel a vacuum using pressure locks etc. but in the future they will find a way.

Perpetual motion is as yet impossible as it would need an absolute vacuum to achieve this, and there is no such thing, even space is apparently not an absolute vacuum, very close, but not absolute. Of course there will be other options in the future to oil/gas propulsion, if indeed that is required. For instance take yourself back 100 or so years and think oh no! we are running out of food to feed horses, will we find something instead to feed them, we need transport. But of course as we know now, it became irrelevant with the introduction of transport systems that could never have been foreseen in those days.

Don't worry some ex "magnets round the fuel line", "lead pellets in yer fuel tank" or "slop 50" salesman will be along with a perpetual motion machine soon. But you will have to cough up a load of cash and travel to Transylvania to see it.

Perpetual motion is possible in a perfect vacuum with no gravitational forces.
Space is the closest to this but does have solar winds and gravitational forces.

Proof once again that 12 monkeys banging on keyboards will eventually type something coherent.....
No, perpetual motion not real.
Aliens bad.
cookies good.

No, even in special circumstances you always lose some energy to friction, the closest we come to a low friction device is the Mag lev train, and that uses a lot of energy to overcome wind resistance.

The US patent agency will patent it for you, but you will have to provide a working model.
