The increase in the internal energy of a system is equal to the amount of energy added by heating the system, minus the amount lost as a result of the work done by the system on its surroundings.
- The science of heat and temperature and of the laws governing the conversion of heat into mechanical, electrical, or chemical energy.
- Pertaining to motion connected with heat.

I am positive that over-unity devices of all types are impossible.
But someone will eventually find a way to tap into the limitless sea of energy that abounds everywhere around us.
It's not "free" or "over unity", but making use of something already there.

Well that's exactly what overunity devices do, they tap into external energy sources, and produce more power than required to keep running. Wind, solar and hydroelectric generators are all overunity as they make use of external sources of energy. And these electromagnetic motors are overunity as well if they are tapping "zero point energy" or "energy from the vacuum".
Note to TheAvenger: A device that makes use of an external energy source is NOT classed as a "Perpetual Motion Machine", and it is NOT a violation of the laws of thermodynamics!

You really believe this, huh? Exactly what source of "external energy" would you say is being tapped into here? Orgone energy? Cosmic energy? "free" energy?

Ummmm---NOT. Wind, solar and hydro are all fairly innefficient, don't generate more energy than goes into them, and in no case can be called "over unity".
The source of the generating energy is immaterial. To be called over unity, the quantity of exiting energy must be greater than the quantity of entering energy.
