👉 Forever engineering, also known as perpetual motion, refers to a concept in physics and engineering that suggests a system can operate indefinitely without an external energy source, seemingly violating the fundamental laws of thermodynamics. However, true perpetual motion machines are impossible because they would require energy input to sustain themselves, contradicting the first law of thermodynamics, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. The idea of forever engineering is more metaphorical, often used to describe systems that appear self-sustaining but are actually inefficient or rely on infinite energy inputs, such as certain chemical reactions or idealized models that ignore real-world constraints like entropy and energy dissipation.
