No, there is currently no way for a machine to be self sustaining.Impulse said:It is possible to create a machine which can fuel itself, but there is no way for it to be possible to run forever. To have that there would have to be an effeciency of 100%, which is theoretically impossible to achieve.Fries said:This is only true in a vacuum.Panki said:It's impossible, it'd be a Perpetuum Mobile, and one of the basic laws of physics is that a Perpetuum Mobile can not exist.
In our world, it is possible to utilize the surrounding forces in order to make a machine that can fuel itself.
But, my point doesn't matter in this case because this doesn't utilize the surrounding forces.
^meaning, it doesn't rely on ANY outside forces/particles/etc.
And if it can't theoretically run forever, its not self sustaining.
