"Perpetuum mobile is a chimera that has led many people into a quagmire of despair." - Karl Kestner (1783-1857)
700 years of projecting
The famous German professor Kestner was absolutely right. After all, the first experiments in creating a perpetual motion machine date back to the XIII century! And in the XVI-XVII centuries, the idea of extracting "energy from nowhere" was especially widespread. It was at this time that the number of various perpetuum mobile projects submitted for consideration to patent offices of European countries began to grow very rapidly. Even geniuses were not spared by the crazy idea - among the drawings of Leonardo Da Vinci, an engraving with a drawing of a perpetual motion machine was found.
In the end, the searchlights from science so tired the public that in 1775 the Paris Academy of Sciences decided not to consider patent applications for a perpetual motion machine due to the obvious impossibility of its creation. But, despite this, the most diverse schemes for perpetuum mobile continue to multiply to this day.
However, it is worth noting here that among the frankly illiterate drawings of home luminaries, there have been and continue to meet devices that have a right to exist. About the principle of operation of such mechanisms, John Worell Keely (1827-1898), an outstanding American natural scientist, said: “In nature, an endless (perpetual) movement takes place everywhere. The planets revolve incessantly, life tirelessly revives and flourishes, molecules constantly vibrate, exciting around them innumerable vibrations of subtle media. How this is done and how it is supported is a special question, but this is the actual state of affairs. And therefore, it is completely natural and legitimate to strive to master these eternal movements and put them at the service of suffering humanity.

And one of these “eternal” mechanisms appeared several years ago in St. Petersburg as a working model and … continues to work!
Its creator, Philip Nikolayevich Kuritsyn, a veterinarian by training, rightly asserts that the engine is more "gratuitous" rather than "eternal". It's just that its design allows you to get energy from the environment in several dozen ways at once.
Kuritsyn's engine is a set of various energy sources assembled into a single unit. There is a wind generator that does not miss a single breath of wind, and solar panels that absorb sunlight and turn it into electricity. This apparatus is capable of obtaining energy using such natural processes as changes in humidity and air temperature, fluctuations in atmospheric pressure and other changes in the environment that have not been used by humans until recently.
Like a killer robot, the unit converts insects and small animals into biomass, from which electricity is subsequently generated.
If the engine is immersed in water, then it will successfully begin to convert the energy of the ebb and flow into electricity. Kuritsyn's apparatus will not miss the opportunity to "refuel" even in a thunderstorm - it is equipped with an active lightning rod, which allows it to receive lightning for subsequent charging of its batteries.
In total, the Kuritsyn engine uses 65 different sources to generate energy. And since nature is a constantly changing environment, then at least a small part of the assembly units will always function until they wear out purely physically.
Even in that incredible case, if everything suddenly freezes in nature, the device will work for a couple of months on batteries that are on constant recharge, and only then will it stop. But such a situation is even less real than the birth of a real perpetual motion machine.
