you get a car and you strip it. make it as light as you can. you just keep the four wheels.
then you attach a horse to it. maybe two if you want to go faster.
then you use reigns to steer.
its not as fast as a car, but the maintenance is cheap, and the horses can feed on grass.
the energy is free. the horses to all the work.edit on 3-10-2012 by randomname because: (no reason given)
You are talking about capacitors. Here is a real capacitor bank:

What is a Farad? It is the capacitance of one Coulomb of electricty contained in a capacitor with only one volt of potential between the plates.
So times that by 40 million and you can have free energy on demand. Boom goes the Quartz business.
On January 31, 2008 the US Navy tested a railgun that fired a shell at 10.64 MJ with a muzzle velocity of 2,520 m/s.
The power was provided by a new 9-megajoule (MJ) prototype capacitor bank using solid-state switches and high-energy-density capacitors delivered in 2007 and an older 32-MJ pulse power system from the US Army’s Green Farm Electric Gun Research and Development Facility
If you show those guys how to replace those huge capacitor banks with some quartz crystals, you'll be their hero.

there must be a way to get free energy.

Even if this did work,I don't see how its free energy.
Even you yourself said you need to charge it first.
If you're not tied down by laws, I'd be pleased to discuss gravity with you while you're just off the balcony of the observation level of the empire state building! (just kidding, or only half-serious).

What this thread is here for is to promote the idea that free energy is out there, and if your tied down by laws, then your only limited to those laws.
