I never mentioned anything about magical gas creation. I didn't mention anything of the kind, except in jest. I already stated my fusion/fission comment was a misinterpreted bit of sarcasm brought on by the mention of fusion as a hyper-efficient form of power. Fusion seems to only prevail in that hydrogen is far more abundant than various radioactive isotopes. As it is, we can't even fuse things properly and 'cold' fusion seems to be going the way of the flying car. Being doubtful of accepted scientific theory is how we learn new things. If someone didn't think to argue against all black holes functioning as gravitational anomalies that crush everything into an infinitely dense core, then why would we research them? Science is one big discussion where everyone is trying to find out the coolest stuff ever. Previous research and accepted theories make good starting points for advancement.
I never defended a crazed statement, one that was never made, about perpetual energy. Please don't make me seem like an idiot who doesn't understand the basic prevailing theories of the universe. It really isn't very nice and is kind of hurtful.
I mean, while perpetual energy is theoretically possible, it would simply be a system with 100% energy efficiency that produces its own reactants. Everything produced would be used and there would be no loss. As such, it would be completely useless for power as that would require removing energy from the system. I mean, all perpetual energy would be useful for would be as a desk lamp or something. Maybe a really weird desk object for some bigshot CEO. Of course, we'd have to stick a lightbulb in it so we could see what was going on as it would need to vent NO energy at all... maybe it could be a mystery opaque box labeled "perpetual" or something humorous. Wouldn't be useful, except maybe as a paperweight.
