Hmmm..no, mine was based on gravity and water flow.

The thing is, if we are to accept the law that 'every action has an equal and opposite reaction', then perpetual motion cannot be acheived.
Or, 'energy expelled=energy created'

But, since energy is constant, nothing is gained....or lost.

If you slap a tabletop with your hand, you'll create energy (in the form of heat) both on the table and your hand....but it is equal to the energy (in kilojoules) that you needed to make the strike.

The trick is in transforming the energy created, from what was used to create it.
Like, transforming friction into electricity.

Transform gravity (a form of energy) into friction (using a water mill loop), then into electricity from the friction. The constant is gravity, and can be used as the 'negative energy' dumping ground.
The trouble is, energy will be lost in the bearings (unless they were frictionless) and thus would make the equation imbalanced...the balance would have to come from somewhere - most likely from the electricity that was produced.

I reckon...
