At least nucear fusion (at any temperature) is not contrary to any known laws of physics. There is a possibility (albeit a small one in my opinion, bit that is just my opinion) that a cold fusion device can be made to work. Perpetual motion machiens on the other hand violate at least one of the lwas of thermodynamics. Now, there's a small possibility that said laws are wrong. There is also a small possibility that gravity will stop working tomorrow. But I am not worried about waking up and finding my cklasisc computers floating aroudn the room. And yet people still try to make perpetual motion macvhiens, or something similar. [I must admit that when I was quite young, I read that a DC motor and geenrator were eessetianlly the same thing. Spinnign a small motor of the ype used in toys did, indeed generate a voltage that I could read on my mete. I spnt some time playing with different typs of motor,s gearing them together in various ways, trying to make a thing that could generate the power needed to run the motor that turned the gears and generator... Of coruse it never worked. Some years later I found out _why_ it never worked. But I am not sure I was totally foolish for trying. Was I?] -tony
