Nope. Entropy increases monotonically over the entire universe, and eventually all free energy will be gone. This is known as heat death.In nature, YES! In man made machines, NO. There is a difference.So you saying that perpetual motion is possible.
Take for instance a stable nonradioactive atom, if the entropy of the electron orbiting the nucleus was greater than zero then it would constantly be slowing down and would not be able to maintain its orbital distance from the nucleus and would be drawn in and split the nucleus and no matter would exist. The entropy of the electron is zero and will orbit perpetually unless acted on by an outside force.
