   There is an easy test to determine whether a perpetual-motion machine   
   really works: have the inventors become rich as a result?  If not, they   
   are crackpots.  A perpetual-motion machine could be used to produce   
   electricity, which could be put into the national grid in return for   
   money (many countries require power companies to buy all electricity   
   produced by individuals).
