Unlikely I think; missing piece: force of consciousness

This kind of thing always leaves me really suspicious.

In general, you can't get more energy out of something
than what you put in, or you'd have a perpetual motion
machine--ultimately breaking the laws of thermodynamics.

Since this machine claims to do just that--by producing
an over-unity result, the machine would have to violate
the laws of thermodynamics to do what it claims.

I suspect that the machine is just a DC-to-AC converter, and
the total amount of amps of AC that you can get from the machine
is necessarily less than whatever amount of DC power you put into
the thing. I mean what keeps the induction flywheel running after
the initial DC jolt? Aside from friction losses, the flywheel is
converting its rotational momentum into AC through electromagnetic
induction--the flywheel should eventually slow to a halt unless
continuously supplied by energy (from a DC source?)

Of course, the nature of science is that every law has
the possibility of being broken/rewritten through
new experimental evidence--however, creating a machine
that would ultimately disprove the Second Law of Thermodynamics
is a pretty tall order. It's much more likely that
the machine doesn't do what it claims to do!

What of internal alchemy?
Doesn't that also break the laws of physics?
What's the difference, and is there one?

I would argue that the situation here is completely
different.

The reason is that we are tapping into another force--
that force being the force of consciousness.

Consciousness is a force that we seem to have an unlimited
supply of, and it really can't be quantified. However, it
is this force that provides the necessary "electromotive energy"
to draw chi from an apparently unlimited reservoir.

The reason that the laws of physics are not being broken here is
that the force of consciousness appears nowhere in the models
of physics, so therefore it's action and interaction can not
be accounted for.

In fact, I suspect that consciousness is the missing force and
missing piece of the puzzle necessary to unify all of the laws of
physics into one coherent framework, but I digress . . .
