Look here's a fact : If there was a genuine over unity device the inventor does not have to patent it or sell it to big oil or anything like that to make money. They can simply publish the plans on the internet and the publicity alone (film rights book rights etc) would make the genuine first inventor of an over unity device a fortune.
Any company that takes those plans, builds the devices, sells them and does not compensate the original inventor would be exposed and the bad publicity would prevent them from making any more devices. People would purchase a device, in preference, from the company that acknowledges the original inventors plans published freely for all to use and profit from.
If a few websites never made it off the ground or were quietly removed, how would you know? If the inventor were quietly bought out or met with an unfortunate accident, how would his ideas ever be properly demonstrated? If the idea or proper implementation dies or stays with him, how would we all suddenly know that that one, that one right there on page 1342 is the one that works (I don't really know if the one on page 1342 works or not). It's just ideas on paper to anyone who hasn't done the experimentation or development.

Yes, but what about the Earth's magnetic field, which is a function of the Sun's magnetic field? What about the rotational velocity of the Earth, while we're at it? Harvesting energy from these sources wouldn't violate any laws of physics that I'm aware of. Remember, energy can't be created or destroyed, but it can be converted form one form to another.

If you are looking for free energy via perpetual motion, consider our Sun. For all intents and purposes she is a perpetual motion engine...

And here comes the obligatory cover-up and suppression conspiracy.
Funny how actually working "free" energy devices like water, wind, solar power systems are not suppressed by anyone.

We are always told about how these simple devices have been invented and taken away by big business.
But when someone comes out with a new one, we never get a real explanation of how it works. There is always some mumbo-jumbo explanation of, 'it's the ether' or 'extracting the zero point energy' and none of them ever pass the test of actually showing over unity in a scientific test.
That's a problem.

Funny how actually working "free" energy devices like water, wind, solar power, and OTEC have languished consistently throughout their brief histories. Funny how the Chinese kept gunpowder a secret for so long. Funny how early artisans and craftsmen kept parts of their trade secret in our history. Funny how the Catholic empire eliminated any number of cultures along with their knowledge that did not agree with or conform to Roman Catholocism. Funny how the earlier Roman empire did the same, without the help of Roman Catholocism.
What am I thinking though, you are absolutely right! Nobody would ever want to keep anything like this a secret! Those big energy companies that make all that money selling us a product that is a majority of the market and that might not be as scarce of a product as we think it is, why should they care! I'm sure they will all gleefully trot off to tear down their industries and put an end to all that pesky business they've been doing. Above top secret. Such a silly name.
Are you suggesting that two or more people might have gotten together in secret and agreed to prevent progress that could upset the dominance of some very powerful entities, entities who seem to have a thing about controlling people and populations? No, no, I guess that was me. Yes! A conspiracy I say!
In March of 2014, a small group of independent engineers and developers released to the public open-source plans for a continuously running fuel-less electricity generator based on a patent by Nikola Tesla, and re-designed by inventor James Robitaille. Calling it the Quantum Energy Generator, or QEG
