At the beginning of this text, I must say that the Archimedean perpetual motion machine is not a real perpetual motion machine. The system basis is that. The capillary effect pulls water to the upper tank, and then the system allows it to flow over the generator wheel. And then that water will flow to the lower pool. That system is based on the lower pressure that pulls water to the upper level. And that’s why it's not the real perpetual motion machine that recycles all energy into it.
The membrane that forms electricity from droplets can make the “Archimedean perpetual motion machine” real. In the original version, the system uses the capillary effect to pull water to the upper tank. And then that water will be put to flow into the lower tank through the Archimedes’ Screw. That kind of system should rotate the mill wheel. And it's possible. That this kind of system could someday. Rotate some kind of generator. In the original version, this system should rotate the millstone. But the friction denied its working.
“The conventional droplet electricity generator (C-DEG) uses a metal bottom electrode and a rigid substrate, and is generally employed on land. In contrast, the new water-integrated floating droplet electricity generator (W-DEG) uses water as the bottom electrode and substrate to enable land-free applications and promote scalability.

Above. A typical “perpetual motion machine” was created by using Archimedes’ screw. The problem with the system was the friction. But maybe today. Things like bearings could also make this kind of system possible. The system is based on the difference between pressure levels. It is possible if it gets enough energy from the water flow. It can replace the energy that it uses for work. The creators. must rise to a fall height of water. Or they must increase the water flow in Archimedes’ screw. Or they must change the work. Their machine must do. Grinding grains is the work. That causes lots of friction.
Modern technology can change that problem. New nanomaterial makes it possible. To create membranes that can change droplets into electricity. The system can be based either on chemistry or on large groups of small propellers or millwheels that allow the droplets to rotate them.
This kind of invention can turn energy production more effective. When we think about cases, there are droplets of rain that form energy. We can think that these kinds of systems can form something that we can call “perpetual motion machine”.
The closed cycle system. The membrane that creates energy from droplets in the closed tank can offer a new type of energy source. The sun will vaporize water, and the vapor condenses on the roof of the tank. Then those droplets drop onto that membrane. And that system can create energy in the desert. Another version could be a system that pulls water to the roof using lower pressure. Then that water would be dropped on the membrane. Those kinds of things. It can have interesting uses.
