So I keep starting arguments because I keep forgetting do define "free energy" and I will not make that mistake this time because my definition is thermodynamically acceptable.

When I say "free energy" I mean energy that is freely available and doesn't need to be purchased and is practically inexhaustible.

When I say "free energy device" I mean a device that gives me a net benefit energy-wise and costs less to run than the value of the energy I get from it.

I consider heat pumps to currently be THE PENULTIMATE FREE ENERGY DEVICE since you personally spend X joules to run the pump and get 1.8X to 7X the energy on the hot side as what it took to run the pump.

People can say "yeah, but it's not creating energy" and they're right, and a water pump doesn't create water either, but a water pump, pushing water up a slope doesn't push more kinetic energies worth of water than what it took to run the pump while a heat pump relocates more heat energy than what it took to run the pump.

What does this tell you? Energy can be relocated with a COP greater than 1.

Plain and simple. It's a proven fact since you can purchase an air conditioner and test it yourself.

Now we take this fact and run with it. Since you know it's possible to relocate existing energy with a COP > 1 it's just a matter of finding the clever ways to take advantage of this.

Example Device 1: Nitinol heat scavenging generator

Nitinol belt is placed on two pulleys, one large and one small, and tensioned so that the Nitinol is resting as detwinned martensite to lower transformation temperature hysteresis, a heat pump is used to pull heat from the surrounding environment and cold side of the Nitinol set-up and heat the hot side. The resulting mechanical energy is used to drive a generator.

The generator will pull heat from the environment and give you electricity in return.

Example Device 2: Potential energy manipulating electrostatic generator.

Two uncharged conductive plates are placed parallel to eachother, a third plate, charged to a high voltage, is placed between the two outer plates.

The two outer plates are connected by an isolated electric circuit.

When the inductors is in dead center it rests in a null point, but when it moves to a side, the inductance causes more charge to accumulate in one plate than the other.

The net result is that sweeping the plate from side to side takes energy to get to the null point, but then returns the potential energy to complete the other half of the motion.

The net kinetic energy spent to move the plate side to side is frictional heating and air resistance. But the energy that moves from outer plate to outer plate is a magnitude that's related to the magnitude of charge on the inductor.

If the inductor is high enough voltage. Then you will relocate more energy than the value of friction and air resistance.

If a load is placed in between the plates, energy is still lost through the load in the first half of the movement, however, the second half of the movement is still free and still returns kinetic energy because of the force of electrostatic attraction. Resulting in a maximum theoretical COP of 2.

To better illustrate example 2 I will provide a chatGPT conversation in the comments that is a good walkthrough for the opperational logic in the example with mathematic estimations based on accepted scientific theory and show that the laws of conservation of energy are not violated but are actually preserved.

Enjoy.

In my next post I will tell you how to collect energy that didn't previously exists and challenge the laws of thermodynamics.
