Now isn't it reassuring that some old favourite time wasters like the perpetuum mobile never die? Here's it's latest incarnation, from a company (!) in Dublin:
"We have developed a technology that produces free, clean and constant energy.
This means never having to recharge your phone, never having to refuel your car. A world with an infinite supply of clean energy for all.
Our technology has been independently validated by engineers and scientists - always off the record, always proven to work."

NB I very much believe that our understanding of physics and the Universe is incomplete and may in fact be completely wrong in places, but one has to draw a line somewhere. And I think if the laws of thermodynamics were wrong and could be proven wrong down here on Earth (not in some exotic place like a black hole), we would have noticed that by now.
