The question should be: "Why is perpetual motion impossible?" and therefore you would understand why the patent office will not even accept an application for one.

everything we know as scientists or engineers says you will fail. but if you're doing it as a school project, it is worth seeing just how efficient you can get. that way you can demo an 'almost perpetual motion' machine.

I agree with linlyons. If you succeed, you will be a billionaire. As you know, perpetual motion machines are considered impossible.

Yes, if you have as much time as eternity and your model will be another example of what not to try. You are helping people that way.
