Did you hear that Hexreader???? People would still be cavemen with no fire if everyone was as close minded as you!!! Why don't you try opening your heart to the universe's positive vibrations??? In fact, I think that if we all focus our intentions, that we can realize that not only is free energy possible, but that in fact we ARE manifestations of infinite love power!!!!
OOOK, don't let these haters get you down! Here's some helpful tips to guide you on your magical journey of discovery and knowledge:
1. Run a flashlight from a battery, then shine it onto a solar cell that charges the battery. BOOM, INFINITE POWER!!!!
2. Use a car engines's alternator to electrolyze water into hydrogen and oxygen gas, then route the gasses back to the engine to be burned. BOOM, Infinite MPG!!!
3. Plug an electrical cord into your neighbors' outdoor electrical outlets. BOOM, FREE ELECTRICITY!!!
4. Use a lightning rod to attract lightning, then use the lightning to charge a battery. WOW, THANKS NATURE!!!!

I want to point out.... The above four suggestions that I posted are ACTUAL THINGS PEOPLE HAVE SUGGESTED TO ME in all seriousness when I told them that I was interested in power electronics and photovoltaics etc. I had actual real people that I know tell me these things in complete seriousness. They thought they were being insightful.
I must admit, when it happens, I don't try to explain anything to them.
I don't argue.
I just kinda smile and nod, and go "Wow, What an idea, Bro!"
Now don't get me wrong, I am a total nutjob. I believe in aliens, ghosts, and angels. But, when it comes to "free energy" I am really more interested in ANY conversation that involves thoughts on actual potentially possible principles that might advantage us. For example, I don't think an energy source really has to be "free" for it to be really advantageous to us from our perspective. If you think you can see a principle which allows something which is "impossible" to occur, then that feeling should be based on a theory or evidence that could explain it. NOT just saying "Who knows, anything is possible!?!"
Case in point: Average silicon solar panels can provide more electricity during their working life than was used in their manufacture. That's including processing the aluminum channel for the frame, making the glass pane which provides it's main structure, and making the solar cells themselves. This didn't use to be true, but the efficiency and output of modern cells has gone way up versus how it was 30 years ago.
This doesn't challenge thermodynamics, and it actually makes a lot of sense. Heck, if the lifespan of the panels could be improved, there's no reason why the things HAVE to "go bad". I mean, if the lifespan of the panels could be increased to a few centuries instead of a few decades, then the equation would tip even more in our favor.
What this means is that you can make solar panels, then use their output to run a factory to make more solar cells etc etc etc until we have as much electricity generation as we need. Of course, there are still other pieces in the puzzle like how to store the energy in a more sensible fashion than lead acid batteries and stuff, but there's avenues to look down as far as those things go, too.
There's really interesting fuel cell technology on the cutting edge right now, too. Particularly I am referring to direct borohydride fuel cells. There has been shown a fuel cell technology in the lab environment which consists of a alkaline solution of sodium borohydride. This solution can be produced from an alkaline solution of sodium borate {aka borax} in a electrolytic cell which is divided into two compartments by a selectively permeable membrane made of a plastic film called Nafion, which is produced by DuPont. The efficiency of the conversion is high, greater than 90%, and then the borohydride fuel can be used in a normal platinum or nickel electrode fuel cell to release hydrogen and generate electricity, which is also a pretty high efficiency process. THEN, the borohydride fuel which is spent turns back into an alkaline solution of sodium borate, READY FOR REGENERATION. Of course, nothing in this process is "generating" energy, it just converts energy first from DC electricity into chemical energy, then back to DC electricity.
Oh yeah, and the kicker is that this borohydride fuel has an effective utilizable energy density nearing or even exceeding that of traditional fuels such as diesel, petrol, or gasoline.
The simplified formula of what's happening here is :
NaBO2 + 2 H20 + electricity <----> NaBH4 + 2 O2

I can point to the relevant research articles and stuff if anyone cares...

I guess my real point here, all the trolling aside, is that OOOK, If you are really interested in electricity, then PLEASE take the time to educate yourself and research and try to innovate to make the world a better place. But please take the time to take it all seriously.
Sure-- most discoveries and inventions were said to have been impossible at some point by somebody, but in actuality most of the major technological advances made in recent centuries were brought into being by people using processes of considerate and methodical science. That includes the robot on Mars and the lunar landing. If it wasn't just filmed in a sound stage somewhere :lol: :lol:
What I am saying is: If you are interested in technology-- GREAT! But please care enough and be wise enough to do something useful and beneficial with that passion.
I have seen many people before who started out starry eyed and with big whimsical dreams who quickly became disillusioned and disheartened because they jumped right in without really understanding what they were getting into and quickly burnt out when they found that a technological revolution isn't as simple as having the courage to stand up and say "ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!" lol
