How about the Sun?
Fusion. You're extracting binding energy from the nuclei.
The planets and moon are all running around producing energy, creating magnetic fields, and moving along. That is energy, and more than one type.
Moving in an orbit and rotating do not require further energy expenditure. Nor does sustaining a magnetic field, although the way planets do it probably extracts energy from the rotation of the planet. So no, planets and moon are not running around producing energy.
The earth is producing heat inside the core from radioactive decay. That is energy. So, yes it does produce energy.

i get it
if you don't believe it
you won't investigate
gee
wonder how far human progress would go
if we all thought like that...
The fact is that I don't believe in free energy,
maybe you can start your own investigations before dismissing so readily

Stanley Meyer died suddenly on March 20, 1998, after dining at a restaurant. His brother claimed that during a meeting with two Belgian investors in a restaurant, Meyer suddenly ran outside, saying "They poisoned me

So then, semantics is at the heart of your objection. "Free energy" might be the wrong description, but the idea that there are energy sources unknown to man, untapped by man, is not difficult for me to accept.
They actually have to be sources, though. Magnets, springs, buoyancy, gravity and a number of others are NOT.
A sure giveaway that the article is bogus is if they invoke Tesla. It's a sort of free energy Godwin's Law.

And found his "death ray"...a resistor decade box.
Of course, he'd been communing with glowing pigeons. Maybe one of them gave him secrets.

Tesla himself was a free-energy or something or other huckster. In science and engineering he was mostly irrelevant by the 1920's.

if you simply dismiss something cause
you don't believe its true
The fact is that I don't believe in free energy,
then your keeping your mind closed
and are trapped by the illusion of knowledge
if everyone thought like this
human progress as a whole would suffer
3d i apologise for being rude
My mind is open enough to free energy when proper scientists discuss it and show the maths behind it.

Not a problem. I do the same think a lot!
