The Physics of a Puzzling Perpetual Motion Machine

𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞.humor on Instagram: "The post features a 78-second educational video demonstrating why perpetual motion machines, like a wooden ball cascade, inevitably stop due to energy losses from friction, heat, and sound, violating the first and second laws of thermodynamics. It highlights the conservation of energy—energy transforms but cannot be created—backed by peer-reviewed principles from classical physics, such as those in Clausius' 1850 formulation, explaining why centuries of designs, inc
