You're not the only one-- I thought of that myself. Just imagine when the aliens from the next dimension send us an energy bill... or declare war because we've been destroying their environment.

If the human being is so bent on destroying himself, that would be the optimal achievement.

I've seen a few aparent perpetual motion machines

Number 1 is an oil pumping platform. It can pump the oil up from below the ground, only using a fraction of the oil to do it!

We all know that it's not really a perpetual motion machine, but it does show that there are places in nature where you can get something for nothing. You can convert raw materials into energy.

Number 2 is a motor that runs forever - it's hooked up to a solar cell, and as long as it's hooked up, and the sun is shining, it runs forever.

Again, an amazing technology to a scientist of Newton's day, but understandable with the right education.

My two examples are supposed to show that there is probably an explanation other than energy from nothing - but it can still be very useful energy.

If someone seems to have violated the laws of thermodynamics, we're in for a treat. The best discoveries in science have come from someone looking deeply into anomalous results.

Snobbish scientists trying to put down the common man, please. To save the world you need only produce the free energy and get rich in the process, I believe you don't even have to call your electric company, any energy you pump into the grip, they're legally bound to compensate you. Now if you're trying to get a fat grant, and a team of researchers working under a college drop-out, yes, you shall face some difficulties.

Not a suggestion, but rather a succinct and thorough criticism.
