This resembles an actual patent that I read. It used an underwater chamber with a vent pipe open to the air. Water would run into the chamber and turn a turbine which generated electricity which powered heaters that boiled the water as fast as it ran in. The steam blew out through the vent pipe. Electricity beyond that used to boil the water was supplied to the grid. I’m not kidding, but I wonder whether the inventor was.
It always takes more energy to produce the power needed to make the energy….or something like that. In other words, you can’t turn a generator with a motor powered by the generator because as the generator projuces current it gets harder to turn which makes the motor draw more current putting a bigger current load on the generator….see where we’re going here?

I get a charge out of you, you could say that I’m your biggest fan.

Actually, they’re both big fans of today’s strip.

Works fine, but getting it started can be a bitch. See government project’s manual FW9400280336/Sec45/SSec5

I guess the Government has patented then?

I have neighbors here in Washington State that believe this concept will really work!

We have finally found out how to create a perpetual motion device

How many immigrants does it take to turn a light bulb…I mean turbine blade
