1. [Mecânica] moto-contínuo; moto-perpétuo

Significado

Movimento que teoricamente permaneceria em atividade constante, permanente, sem desgaste de energia. Por extensão, moto perpétuo pode definir um aparelho que produza trabalho continuamente, sem nenhum fornecimento de energia, ou que continuamente converta calor em trabalho sem nenhuma perda.

Meaning

Perpetual motion refers to a condition in which an object continues to move indefinitely without being driven by an external source of energy. In effect by its very definition, Perpetual Motion is a system wherein the item in question consumes and outputs at least 100% of its energy constantly, sustaining no net loss as a result of the laws of thermodynamics. Using modern terminology, any machine that purports to produce more energy than it uses is a "perpetual motion machine", although somewhat oddly named as they may not include any moving parts.
