Infinite Energy Idea

The last page of this thread is hilarious.

Infinite energy is not possible, due to the universe having a limited amount of energy. But honestly, why are we worried about perpetual energy? A single volcano could give energy to the human race for thousands of years, and we do have quite a lot of volcanoes here on Earth, and in the future, Io.

infinite energy is not possible under the current known laws of physics or something along those lines.

it's probably very improbable for us to find any sort of loophole or exceptions in a reasonable amount of time for any >100% energy mechanisms to be invented. It'll be nice if wasted ambient energy can be recaptured and recycled for a really close to 100% running efficiency though.

A cat always lands on it's feet. That's about 50% of the premise of the video.

The cat does need to be alive to land on its feet.

Even if it would work, it would just be a battery. If you take energy from it, it is gone.

No. Again, you;re confusing the saying with reality. I bet if those so-called "scientists" strapped some toast to the cat they would not get the result that you get from the saying, It's because they use weak-ass reality, rather than taking the saying literally.

The cat need not be alive. A cat always lands on it's feet.

Not if you give the cat a good belt of Scotch first...
