Abstract
The growing demand for sustainable energy solutions has spurred the exploration of unconventional power generation systems, including purported "perpetual motion" devices. This study examines the performance of a locally made perpetual motion-free generator paired with a three-phase inverter to evaluate its feasibility, efficiency, and adherence to fundamental thermodynamic principles. Experimental tests encompass no-load and load analyses, harmonic distortion measurements, efficiency calculations, and long-duration stability tests. Results reveal that while the system operates as a conventional electromagnetic generator, there is no evidence supporting perpetual motion claims, thereby reinforcing the laws of thermodynamics. The inverter’s performance is compared to commercial standards, showing acceptable Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) (<5%) and efficiency (~85-92%) under varying loads.
