For this post, forever is defined to be a long time :)
Facts:
CBR (Cosmic Backround Radiation) should last forever,
Superconducters carry currents forever
If a radio wave at the correct frequency hits a superconducter, it is contained forever.
Conclusion:
You make a torroid shaped superconducter, with the right circumfrance so that it absorbes CBR.
You cool it down until it is supercunducting in a ceramic shell (so that the CBR can radiate freely into the superconducter).
you leave it untouched for a long time,
When you come back, you should find the nodes and antinodes.
From that, you attach one probe to the strongest node, and another to the strongest antinode, you then should have a current flow between the two probes!
You now have a power source that will give you power FOR FOREVER(it just gives it to you, a nanowatt at a time!).
please find something wrong with this argument,

Power from Gravity
I would guess that the attachment of wires directly to the points of node and antinode drastically change the resonant frequency of the superconductor and basically ruin it for that frequency of CBR
and why not just go with solar power? more power, and for practical purposes last just as long (practical being defined as, as long as you're alive to care about it)

1. you only add wires when you need the power, you remove them once you've finished (it should give you one big pulse of power).
2. Give me a solar cell that will give me power for a few hundred years?
3. you can also use the superconducter as an RF capacitor (charge it by giving it RF energy, discharge it by useing the nodes/antinodes probes).

Ok, I was bored, so I made a little perpetuum mobile simulator;-). Looks like crap, but it should be reasonably realistic.
as i understand,superconductor ring will not accamulate power.Power can't be accamulated as flow in the ring because magnetic flux in ring are constant.Also,power can't be accamulated in oscilations because ring will emmit energy back.
Folks,
Since this is a forum that should be focused on physics as it relates to game development, why don't you shift the subject.
Please come up with some ideas about how to apply some of these thoughts to a game, and discuss those instead of pure physics, :).

LNK2001's little simulator was sorta game-ish related. And was cool too! I like little projects like that. Was it fun to make? Were ya bored? [Edit - I just noticed that you already answered that. Silly me.] I'm bored... ...and am at work... [depressed]
Did you have some physics stuff already written for that? 'Cause it looks quite nice. They bounce a bit at 90 degrees and everything. I'm impressed.

actually the magnetic flux will be changing in time because the ring is being subjected to an alternating currrent.

Thanks, it's fun to make a simulation of a device that never worked;-). Each arm is treated as a pendula with the swinging motion restricted to 90 degrees. When is swings outside that, the angular velocity is reversed (it bounces). The center of gravity determines which way the wheel accelerates. There's a little damping and a little friction to make it more realistic. Here's the source, but it's kind of messy.
A shift towards modelling some of these silly machines you're proposing could be a good idea. There's no need to build a version without friction if you can just let a computer handle it. Not that there's any point of course. :)
Anyway I think that if Homer can understand the principles of thermodynamics then so should you!

This whole idea of anything's possible if you put enough effort into it is really quite annoying. Thinking outside the box is very good, but some people seem to venture so far out they can no longer see the box.
