the simplest free energy generator without being engineer is such a
combination= motor plus pulley and flywheel to increase torque then
you multiply the rotation with small pulley connected to electric
generator
Rather an obvious troll, don't you think?
Not as obvious as you might think; it's pathetic how many
people would see no problem with that "technique". The US
patent office still has to reject patent applications for
perpetual motion machines on a regular basis, and even has
special regulations in place to deal with such claims. A
couple of interesting articles addressing this:
