Perpetual motion machines are possible. I know, I read it in the Mail:

"we were getting 150 to 200 per cent more energy out than we put in"



Kool! I just know technology is on the verge of a major energy
breakthrough. Scientists always give us this "laws of thermodynamics"
crap when it isn't law at all but theory waiting to be modified.

Agree that "laws" can inhibit new thought.
I read a SciFi story long ago where a defense contractor set his
engineers to develop an anti-grav vehicle real quick.
They protested that it was against scientific law.
He took them into a screening room where he showed them a secretly
taken film of a Soviet anti-grav vehicle.
They got busy and had a working prototype in a couple weeks.
Of course the boss had shown them a faked film to break the bonds of
their minds.
And of course it was SciFi.
But some SciFi becomes reality.
Hell, who would have ever thought a beer can pull tab would be
possible? I can't remember the last time I saw a church key.
