Are there pseudorandom number generators (PRNG) with no finite period?

cs.stackexchange https://cs.stackexchange.com/questions/18250

Question

The typical and widely used PRNG, the linear congruential generator always has a finite (though possibly "long") period. Are there PRNGs that have no finite period?

For this question it is not necessary that it be practical or used in real-world implementations.

No correct solution
