Perpetual motion is best described by Newton`s 2nd law of motion.A chunk of matter continues to move in the direction of its motion with the same speed unless influenced by outside forces.Isn`t the motion of planets around the sun an example of perpetual motion.Or the motion of electrons around the nucleus of atoms in their designated quantum states.

Qoite a long time ago I had seen a so called perpetual motion machine,rather a toy,made up of glass,consisting of a joker with a head and a big belly.A glass straw attached to its mouth could be dipped into a continer with reddish water in front of the joker.Its belly and the container were also connected by a pipe.The joker would sip water from the container,its belly would get filled and fall around a pivot and the water would be back in the container and the toy joker would again be upright to sip again,the motion would go on indefinitely without any fuel.Actually it was not any perpetual motion toy because what drove it was surface tension of water,capillary motion and gravity.It may be an example of sipping energy from the energy rich environment slowly,relaxedly and recycling it too.
