in my opinion the purest form of energy would be something such as a perpetual motion machine, which are physically impossible.

Energy is the ability to do work.

Here is an example of an over unity toy. It's called the SMOT, SiMple Overunity Toy. On that page there is a link showing a closed loop, dual ramp SMOT, that appears to be a "Perpetual Motion" machine of yore. Frictional and heat losses notwithstanding, this device shows efficiencies of up to 113%, thereby actually gaining energy with every pass. Now, it may require a little research to decrease the efficiency enough to balance it a 100%, so that the ball doesn't overspeed it's track, but other than that, it should, in theory, run without energy input forever.

1. If Gravity is regauging the magnets as they claim, this could never be a closed system. An outside force (gravity) is acting on the device. Thus it cannot be over-unity.

My personal belief...the purest form of energy is existence as a whole, as on single entity. It is like taking everything in existence and boiling it down till it is all the same form. Cross reference String Theory with spacial non-locality.
To simplify it the best I can, when you get everything down to its basic component (pure energy), it all becomes the same thing like millions of ice cubes becoming an ocean.
