The consequences
As stated before, anyone with high school physics background could tell you that a perpetual motion machine (PMM) is in contradiction to the first law of thermodynamics, and therefore in contradiction to reality. As for magnetism, where a lot of research in PMM (or rather: “Over unity” more than 100% efficient engine) has been done, they might be able to explain you the eight Maxwell (+ one Lorentz forze) equations that govern all electromagnetic behaviour and comply perfectly with the laws of thermodynamics. However, if they have not studied the way these equations got their shape (or were not imaginative enough to speculate the consecueces of the fact) their just might have missed the implications of the tiny little fact that these equations are about aggregate averages, and no particular case needs to follow them. It’s easy to ignore this, since the phenomenon is well beyond our everyday life and partly clouded by the quantum effects anyway.
