Has anyone ever built one of these?

I was wondering If anyone had a project like this before.
This is something I would be interested in buying!

Anyone?

There is no such thing as perpetual motion. Mankind has been working on these kind for hundreds of years and with no success. If it was that easy our energy crises would be over.

I forget which law of physics it was that said something like: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it is only converted from one form to another.

So, you can't get more power out than you put in.

Thermodynamics is what the name of the song is called.

...and if there really is energy coming from some unknown source you can bet we'll end up paying for it, probably with our lives

Even when the energy is coming from a known source (middle east) some pay with their lives.
