Pravda is reporting that Russian scientists have successfully tested a perpetual motion machine in space.
Russian scientists test perpetual motion machine in space - Pravda.Ru
No details of the specific machine are given, but it says that power is applied to the device and that this enables the satellite to change orbits without using reaction mass. This sounds like the system produces a unidirectional thrust when reverse powered. If so, then perpetual motion translates to perpetual thrust. This Inertial Propulsion technique puts the Russians way ahead in the space race.
