All perpetual motions, we have considered so far (without regard to time and place of its appearance, and regardless of their functional principle), they have one thing in common: they are all stationary plants. At the time of creation Steam engine was also planted and not movable. The first fire machines were built at the beginning of XVIII century. It is needed more than a century of experiments to make rectilinear stroke switch on to the rotational movement. The success was achieved in increasing the productivity and efficiency of steam engines, and opened a new, so far unused opportunities for their application. With the construction of the first steam railway between Stockton and Darlington in 1825 has lost its steam engine stationary character and acted as an entirely new and revolutionizing element in the development of means of transport. A similar fate befell then other sources of motive power: the internal combustion engine and an electric motor.
Characteristic for the XIX, and even more so for the XX century. dynamic development of scientific and technical disciplines, as well as rapid growth of trade, which required overcoming great distances, have stimulated efforts to attract each new type of power machines to more powerful and fuel-efficient vehicles. Most of these power machines failed to successfully establish itself in this new field for them. Not surprisingly, the inquisitive human mind began to look here and eternal engine applications, though, I must say, the history of perpetual motion is extremely scarce reports of self-propelled vehicles (which, however, does not mean the absence of such attempts in the past).
In our time we have also faced the alleged pepetual motion, and most of all it happened when you have a lot of accumulated energy during launching such machine in a particular case. Thanks to that energy, all inexperienced spectators thought that they are facing real implementation of perpetual motion. Such cases include the perpetual motion of russian inventor Ufimtsev A.G., who in 1920 proposed the idea of a new type of wind power station with inertial accumulator of mechanical energy. According to his project, the wind wheel should spin the large flywheel, which rotates around a vertical axis, strengthened in ball bearings. The flywheel must be fiexed in the casing which helps in pumping out air, to minimize aerodynamic losses. In this model, constructed by Ufimtsev, a flywheel must be dispersed to 20 thousand turnovers in one minute, could save the spin without the influx of outside energy for 15 days.
A powerful impact to the revitalization of the perpetual motion inventors also served some scientific discoveries. Thus, shortly after the producing of liquid air by the Linde method have been discovered, appeared the projects regarding the usage of energy that is hidden in liquid air. The project aimed to provide continuous operation of Lindes facility without energy supply from external sources. The true fact is that all inventors had a miserable efforts in creating perpetual motions, they all wanted their blueprints accepted by society with great success. They tried as quickly as possible to publicize the drawings of perpetual motion sometimes in scientific journals, and more often in pamphlets or books published at their own expense. In such a way, they tried to convince others that they finally managed to solve the problem of perpetual motion. Several subsequent descriptions of perpetual motion machines are from a booklet F. Praharsh published the four years after the World War II.
