I'll explain in a simple way why perpetual motion machines do not exist and why you should stop wasting your time on these machines.
The (useful) energy output of any machine is due to an imbalance. This imbalance may be electricity (which is positive and negative ions), imbalance in temperature (random movement of atoms), imbalance in kinetic energy (relative to other stationary objects), imbalance of mass (pivots etc), imbalance of pressure (gasoline car),etc...
When ANY work is done, such as generating electricity or moving a car, what is being done can only be the result of entropy. Work is done because something is moving from a state of imbalance to balance. The reason why things move from a state of imbalance to balance is because there are more possible states of balance than imbalance.
If you were to fill a box with a thousand red and green pieces of sand and shook the box randomly, you would eventually get a mixture of red and green sand randomly scattered in the box. This is because the probability of red and green sand pieces arranging themselves in an imbalanced way is much much smaller than a balanced way.
Now replace those red and green pieces of sand with electricity. Once the imbalance between positive and negative ions is complete, no work can be done until there is imbalance again.
Replace those red and green pieces of sand with hot steaming water and cool air. Once equilibrium takes effect, the turbine stops moving.
Basically, all "perpetual motion" machines fail because they operate on converting imbalance to balance. Not a single machine has ever made as a net result more imbalance than balance.
