Short answer: No.
Thermodynamically, the entropy, or level of disorder, of a system must always increase for a physical system as it moves or changes. In practical terms, this means that no system is 100% efficient as there will always be lost energy through heat, noise, and other vibrations that will tend to slow a system down, and eventually cause it to stop.
Many claimed perpetual motion machines are simply incredibly efficient and the rate at which energy is lost is so low that it appears that it will continue on forever. Other machines cleverly hide external sources of energy, such as sunlight or ambient magnetic fields, that make up for the energy lost through inefficiency. These machines could keep going for incredible lengths of time, but in the strictest sense, the "machine" would need to include the sun or the earth's magnetic field as part of the mechanism since they are supplying energy to keep the machine going, and even these sources are not everlasting since eventually the sun will die out and the earth's magnetic field will weaken and vanish, though this will likely not happen in the near future...

Who had the idea of perpetual motion machines?
Lots of people who don't understand thermodynamics very well. (Perpetual motion machines are not possible.)
What is the difference between perpetual motion machines of first kind and perpetual motion machines of the second kind?
Neither first or second kind of perpetual motion machines can be constructed, beacuse their existence violates the first law of Thermodynamics
Who invented perpetual motion machines?
Perpetual motion machines are theoretical only. No one has actually invented one. A perpetual motion machine would have to be able to provide its own source of energy to continue operating.
Which machines change one energy to another?
This would be called a "perpetual motion machine", but they don't exist.
Who invented the perpetual motion machine?
No one, and no one ever will, since perpetual motion machines are a scientific impossibility.
Why is a windmill not a perpetual motion machine?
Perpetual motion machines do not exist. There is no machine that will keep on moving by itself without any added power. Windmills are driven by the wind. When the wind stops blowing, the windmill stops turning.
What are those accessories or equipments involved in Perpetual Motion Machine?
Perpetual motion machines do not exist. If they did we would not be paying almost $3.00/gallon for gasoline, as a perpetual motion machine implies free energy. Newton's laws tell us that is not possible. For further explanation read up on Newton's laws of motion and thermodynamics
Sentence using the word perpetual?
Perpetual motion machines have, to date, always been a disappointment.
Which product does not exist in market?
Perpetual Motion Machine.
Has anyone created a perpetual motion machine yet?
No, perpetual motion is prohibited by the laws of thermodynamics.There are machines that might at first seem to be perpetual motion machines but only because their source of energy may not be readily apparent.add. But in economics, inflation serves the purpose of a perpetual motion machine, in which more currency is created continuously. And which serves to illustrate the reality of economics.
How can an induction motor act as perpetual motion machine?
Perpetual motion machines are an impossibility. Energy conversion is never 100% efficient. Even if it were, friction is never zero.
What do all machines have that is less than 100 percent?
Perpetual motion. This answer is more related to the question "What do all machines DO NOT HAVE.
