Re: Perpetual motion is possible and I discovered it.

The reason that this is not perpetual motion is that, at each step of the 
process, the processes are not 100% efficient.  That is, in order to make the 
hydrogen, let it rise, burn it, etc., the usable energy that you can get out of 
the hydrogen you made is LESS than all the energy you had to put into the 
operations to get the hydrogen.  In real life there is always some friction or 
other energy-robbing process or inefficiency, so you can't get something for 
nothing.
