Perpetual Motion

So i was bored yesterday, and started to think about perpetual motion devices. Seeing how it is impossible, i started to think about how to make a completely self contained electric generator. Which, in theory, should work. However, so should many other things. essentially, it will be coils of copper wire, wrapped around a spool, with a motor with magnets on it, spinning in the middle. This will create electricity, which with a little circuit work, will in turn power the motor, creating a full circle.

  1. You'd have to have the motor in a perfect vacuum to eliminate air resistance, and have superconductive wire to eliminate heat dissipation in the wire. And you'd also have to have a magic driveshaft on the motor.

    That said, it'd be pretty darn efficient.
