A class of devices designed to maintain motion for extremely long periods—thousands of years or more—by optimizing energy storage and minimizing losses, while respecting the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation). Unlike perpetual motion machines (which claim to violate physical laws), LDMM1 acknowledge that energy must come from somewhere; they just store it so efficiently that motion continues far beyond human timescales. Think of a flywheel in a perfect vacuum, on frictionless bearings, spinning for millennia on the energy you gave it once. LDMM1 don't create energy—they hoard it, releasing it so slowly that "long-duration" means geological time. They're possible because the First Law isn't violated; energy is conserved, just doled out over eons.
Long-Duration Motion Machines of the First Kind (LDMM1) "That clock they built in 1986 is still running on its original battery? It's not perpetual motion—it's just really, really efficient. That's LDMM1: store energy once, release it over centuries. Not magic, just engineering so good it looks like magic to anyone who's ever changed a smoke detector battery."
