In every invention shown, there were claims of greater, or at least equal, output of energy than that input, i.e., 'free energy.' However, no mention was ever made of the input of energy required to make the machine or maintenance of the machine.
The energy isn't free until ALL input is paid for. Metal must be mined, transported to smelting, refined, manufacture into the beam, rods, sheets, whatever. The manufactured product must be distributed (finally) to the end-user. The machine parts must be re-worked by the inventor and assembled. The energy required to fuel the people who do all of the work must also be included.
"This wheel will turn forever." Oh? Even when friction, corrosion, and other environment effects wear the moving parts to the point that they have to be replaced? ... Requiring even more energy input that must be paid back by the machine before its output energy becomes free?
At this point the energy accounting only considers getting the inventor's machine built. He wants to sell it to the public ... with or without a patent? Now we have the energy input in building the manufacturing facilities, packaging, shipment to the consumer, consumer energy input for installation ... oh ... and marketing. Have I left anything out? Probably.
Sorry guys but as Robert Heinlein so eloquently stated the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics: "TANSTAAFL" There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch. (even is someone else is buying, it still isn't free).
You want to convince me, and conventional science, that you have created a free energy source. Be prepared to give full energy accounting, down to the last yocto joule. In the meantime, not a single mention of this issue occurs in the film.
