Topic: I have discovered how to create perpetual motion!

First you set up a fora.
Then you pretend to post as Syntax.
Until Matt shows up...
Keep up the charade until the real Syntax appears.
Stop posing as Syntax now, the perpetual motion loop has begun.
You could attach generators to Matt and Syntax's keyboards and power a small city, probably.

If you people aren't going to take perpetual motion seriously, then fine. No energy for you!

@previous (D)US patent 6,960,975 (Volfson). Modestly or prudently concealed behind the uninformative title of a ‘Space vehicle propelled by the pressure of inflationary vacuum state’, this patent 1 describes and claims a space vehicle provided with a superconductive ‘anti-gravity shield’ which distorts the local space-time continuum, thereby tapping into an effectively infinite source of energy for propulsion, and accelerating the vehicle, its inventor, and up to two other occupants to within a fraction of the local speed of light, without requiring a conventional engine, or apparently consuming any fuel. I wonder if the Examiner wishes he was on board.
When not exposed to the disorientating effects of ‘quantised vortices of lattice ions projecting a gravimetric field that forms a spacetime curvature anomaly’, 2 patent offices everywhere agree that perpetual motion machines are inherently unpatentable for substantially the same reason: that they have no ‘industrial application’, or are not ‘useful’. So the UK Manual of Office Practice states (citations omitted): 3
Processes or articles alleged to operate in a manner which is clearly contrary to well-established physical laws, such as perpetual motion machines, are regarded as not having industrial application… . An alternative or additional objection may be that the specification is not complete enough to allow the invention to be performed under s.14(3). … Objecting to insufficiency may be particularly appropriate if the claims do not refer to the intended function or purpose of the invention, for example if a ‘flying gyroscope’ is claimed merely as an article having a particular specified construction.

Technically, I am already traveling at a fraction of the speed of light... so that's cool but not super impressive, really.

I think the governments need to fund further research into this
