The perpetual motion machine

The perpetual motion machine is seen in the Royal Museum in Ultima VI.

Description[edit]

It is a machine consisting of several wheels and poles, that keeps itself in constant motion with its own motion, meaning that it never loses any energy and would never stop without outside intervention. It did not appear in later Ultima games. In reality, perpetual motion is not possible, as it violates fundamental laws of energy and thermodynamics. Thus, the machine was just a joke by Origin.
