If I were to research on making a perpetual motion machine, which branch of physics should i mainly concentrate on?

You should research physics and thermodynamics, but both of those branches state that such machines are practically impossible. However, I remember reading somewhere that if you had some sort of superconductor wire that was in a circle and you passed an electric current through it, the electricity would experience NO resistance, so the current would move around forever. Theoretically, this could be done with any closed system (something you learn about in physics/thermodynamics) or if one could have a 100% efficient machine (lets say a pendulum) it would move forever, but perfection is practically impossible (so that's why almost all credible people say perpetual motion is impossible).
Hope this helps!!

Since it is patently against ALL laws of physics, I suggest you don't waste your time... unless you just want to learn physics. Once you do, you'll understand why it is impossible to develop perpetual motion.
You will need to study and understand most branches, but primarily statics, kinematics and thermodynamics - then you'll see reality.

You need to learn about the Carnot cycle, it's proves there can not be a perfect machine, or perpetual motion.

on account which you probably did no longer even use the 'verify spelling' button, to spell sponsorship wisely, no person will take you heavily. besides, i comprehend for a actuality you do not have perpetual action. p.s. katie s and jet - you're the two incorrect

Physics? lol
You are massively delusional. It is only a suitable topic for History or Abnormal Psychology. Neither of these are a branch of Physics, btw.

I think you should learn first the history of the perpetual machine and study the loop hole in those so called inventions / illusions.
