3. You will need a generator that can produce at least .001% more power (amps) than it takes for the motor to operate and the battery can supply. Even the tiniest amount is enough to produce more than is consumed. This generator has to use the method as in #1 and #2 in order to achieve a maximum output of 101%.
The only problem is, is that we don't have these materials to work with and so we are left wanting because in theory we could do it but in reality we can't, not yet.

And there's one physical impossibility...and the part that the whole plan falls apart on.

No, in theory you CAN'T do it. And in reality, you can't do it either.

Actually, we have the example of dark matter influencing galaxies, and dark energy pushing them away, so we do have it in actual demonstration proven by science, and so therefore theoretically, it could be done. But you are correct, with what we do know now, we could never build such a machine. What we work with is the manipulation of electrons, etc through magnetism. This could be to us what fire is to a caveman compared to anyone using dark energy and matter. They may go hand in hand in the same manner that non-dark matter(magnets) influences non-dark energy (electrons).

How much do you pay for the panel? Not zero. In fact, it takes quite a while to amortize the cost of the panel. And by the time it's paid for you probably have to buy a new one.

How much do you pay for the light energy harnessed by a solar panel? ZERO.
Unless you eat something, how much energy to you get from air? Zero.

NASA reports he survived 130 days only with water, and they even named it after his name: HRM phenomenon. He stopped to eat completely after he went on his pilgrimage to Himalaya.
No. Solar panels provide electricity. But it isn't free.
Are you saying there is no use for solar panels?
I don't suppose you can find a real source for that claim can you?
Tell that to this guy.
Here's a bit on Manek showing he's a phony. As far as his claims that he doesn't eat as a result of sungazing go, he's apparently been known to binge at Indian buffets and has been filmed doing it (this during a time when he said he hadn't eaten in 10 years)!

Never said solar panels were free, maybe you should reread what I posted.

Can you get any electricity without the panels?

There are free energy sources like solar and wind/wave/tides etc so no argument there but you have to factor in the lifetime cost (building & maintaining) of your collection & conversion apparatus to look at it realistically.
To displace thermal production of electrical energy that lifetime (say 40-50 years max) cost currently needs to be less than about $40/MWh (=4c/kWh) which is a big, if not impossible, ask for existing alternatives to burning coal, oil or gas. Application of a tax on carbon emissions makes the alternatives slightly more attractive but very unpopular with customers who find themselves paying almost double for their energy.
The solution, which most don't want to hear, is to use less energy but it'll never be free no matter what source you exploit to acquire your needs.

Still waiting for my gravity light from an indiegogo project, hopefully it will come sometime this century. Yes, I think the gravity it uses it free too.
