Unclear. The primary input appears to be electrical energy from the 'Stromspeicher' (power storage) to power the electromagnets and control system. The system claims to generate electricity via a generator turned by the magnetic machine, suggesting an attempt to get more electrical energy out than is put in.
The system describes a magnetic assembly intended to generate electricity, but it provides no physical source for the net energy output. It uses its own battery to power electromagnets that drive a generator, a configuration that cannot produce more energy than the battery supplies, directly violating the conservation of energy.
Claimed to be from 'centrifugal force' generated by magnetic interactions between permanent magnets on rotor and stator, with an initial external force input. No external energy input beyond initial push is described for sustained operation.
The patent describes a rotor-stator system using only permanent magnets and an initial push, claiming the resulting 'centrifugal force' and magnetic interactions produce sustained mechanical motion that can be converted to electricity. This violates the conservation of energy because magnetic forces are conservative and cannot provide net work over a complete cycle without an external energy source.
Unclear. Claims to transfer 'earth electric charges' via resonant circuits connected to grounding lines, implying energy extraction from the Earth itself without a defined thermodynamic gradient.
The patent claims a method to permanently extract electrical energy from the Earth via resonant grounding circuits. This violates the First Law (energy conservation) by creating energy from an undefined source and the Second Law by implying work extraction from a single thermal reservoir (the ground) without a temperature gradient.
Initially, stored compressed air in the calderines (7) and stored electrical energy in the SAI (uninterruptible power supply) (12). The description implies a closed-loop system where output electricity is used to power the compressor and recharge the SAI.
The device is described as using stored compressed air to generate electricity, then using part of that electricity to run the compressor that re-pressurizes the air. This is a classic over-unity claim. Every energy conversion step incurs losses, so the system cannot sustain itself or provide net external power without an external energy input to compensate for those losses.
Unclear. Claims electrical input via electrodes, but suggests output energy exceeds input energy. Implied source is 'parametric excitation of the ground state energy level of the vacuum field' (zero-point energy), which is not a thermodynamically accessible energy source for net work output.
The device claims an electrical output greater than its electrical input by purportedly extracting energy from the quantum vacuum via parametric excitation in Josephson junction loops. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) as no thermodynamically valid external energy source or gradient is identified to account for the net energy gain.
Unclear. The device appears to use capacitors and a DC-DC converter (booster) in a feedback loop where one capacitor's output is fed back to power the system while also powering a load. No primary energy source (battery, solar, etc.) is explicitly identified, suggesting an attempt at self-sustaining operation.
The patent describes an autonomous power source using capacitors, transistors, and a DC-DC converter in a feedback configuration with no identifiable primary energy input. The described loop, where output energy is used to replenish the source while also powering a load, violates energy conservation, constituting an attempted perpetual motion machine of the first kind.
Ambient magnetic potential energy of permanent magnets, with a small input to move ferromagnetic plates/scheiben to modulate the magnetic fields.
This device is a magnetic perpetual motion machine. It uses permanent magnets and moving shields to try to create an imbalance that drives continuous oscillation and produces net work. However, the energy needed to move the shields against magnetic forces equals or exceeds any net energy gain from the oscillating magnet, violating energy conservation. No external energy gradient (like a fuel or battery) is identified to sustain the claimed output.
The system claims its primary energy input is the hydrogen produced from saline water electrolysis. However, the electrical energy to run the electrolysis is purportedly supplied by alternators driven by the hydrogen combustion engine, creating a closed loop.
The patent describes a system that attempts to create a self-sustaining cycle: using hydrogen to power an engine that generates electricity to make more hydrogen. This violates the first and second laws of thermodynamics, as the inevitable losses in each conversion step (electrolysis, combustion, generation) mean the system cannot sustain itself without a continuous, external energy input.
Unclear. Claims energy is generated from 'partial separation of magnetic fields' of ferromagnets without energy input for magnetization, and that magnetic field energy is transformed into additional electrical energy during demagnetization.
The patent describes a system that allegedly generates extra electrical energy from the magnetic field of a ferromagnet without expending energy to create that field. This directly violates the conservation of energy, as the magnetic energy in the core was originally supplied during magnetization. The claims of 'partial separation of magnetic fields' and energy gain during demagnetization are physically impossible for a closed system.
Unclear/obfuscated. Claims suggest energy is generated from piezoelectric/ferroelectric materials (PbZrO3, BaTiO3, etc.) through some form of energy multiplication or cascading between 'input units' and 'output units', implying output exceeds control input without identifying an external energy source.
The patent describes a multi-stage device using piezoelectric/ferroelectric materials that allegedly amplifies energy, with unclear references to a 'control input' and cascading units. It fails to identify any external energy source to account for the claimed amplification, strongly suggesting a violation of energy conservation through obfuscated perpetual motion claims.
Unclear. Claims suggest energy is generated or amplified through cascading interactions between 'energy storage media' and 'energy amplification media' without a clear primary external energy input.
The patent describes a system where 'energy storage media' and 'energy amplification media' interact to produce amplified energy output, but fails to identify any primary external energy source. The mechanism relies on cascading internal interactions suggestive of energy multiplication, violating energy conservation. The use of vague, non-standard physics terms obscures the fundamental lack of a defined energy input.
Claimed to convert chemical energy from explosive detonators into electromagnetic energy, but implies energy multiplication/summation effects that suggest over-unity operation.
The device claims to generate powerful electromagnetic pulses by synchronously detonating explosives in two combined generators, suggesting the electromagnetic energy output sums constructively. This implies output exceeding the chemical energy input from the explosives, violating energy conservation unless all energy inputs (including electrical priming of detonators) are fully accounted for.
Ambient heat from cooling device's heat dissipation surface (waste heat) and unspecified wireless charging input
This patent describes a system that attempts to use thermoelectric generators to convert waste heat from a cooling device back into electricity to power the same cooling device, creating a circular energy flow that violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics. While thermoelectric waste heat recovery is valid, it cannot produce enough energy to fully power the cooling source without significant external energy input, which the patent obscures with complex conversion stages.
Ambient heat from combustion (biomass burning) and temperature gradients within the system. The device claims to use thermoelectric generators (TEGs) to produce electricity from the temperature difference between the hot flue gas and a heat sink, then uses that electricity to power fans and blowers.
The device is a combustion stove with a thermoelectric generator (TEG) on its flue. Its critical flaw is claiming the TEG's electricity can power the stove's essential fans and blowers, creating a self-sustaining loop. This violates energy conservation, as the TEG power is parasitically drawn from the stove's thermal output, reducing efficiency; it cannot run the stove's components without net external input after the initial fuel is consumed.
Unclear. Claims suggest energy is generated from 'electromagnetic waves' and 'vibrations' in the system's own structure, with references to 'cold start' processes and energy multiplication between units.
The patent describes a system where electromagnetic vibrations within the device's structure are claimed to generate usable electrical energy that can power additional units, leading to a net energy gain. This constitutes a perpetual motion claim, as it violates energy conservation by implying creation of energy from the device's internal state without an external, depletable energy source.
Unclear. The patent describes a complex system with 'generating electrodes' and 'collecting electrodes' that appear to extract energy from ambient humidity or air, but no clear primary energy source is identified. It suggests energy multiplication through cascading interactions between components.
The patent describes a system that appears to extract energy from ambient air/humidity through cascading electrode interactions, claiming to generate more energy than is input. This violates energy conservation as it lacks a clear primary energy source and describes energy multiplication without thermodynamic justification. The mechanism is physically implausible as it suggests creating useful work from an equilibrium state without an entropy sink.
Unclear. The system appears to use a thermoelectric generator to power the shared motor that drives the compressors, which in turn create the temperature gradient for the thermoelectric generator—a circular dependency with no clear primary external energy input.
The described system creates a circular energy flow where the thermoelectric generator powers the motor that drives compressors, which then create the temperature difference for the thermoelectric generator. This violates energy conservation and the second law of thermodynamics because it ignores the inevitable losses (friction, electrical resistance, heat leakage) that would cause the system to stop without a continuous external energy input.
Unclear. Claims to generate electricity from 'heat from friction reduction' (Joule heating from damping) and 'temperature difference effect' using thermoelectric generators, but appears to treat friction losses as a usable energy source rather than a parasitic loss.
The device claims to be both a vibration damper and an electricity generator, asserting it can use the heat from friction reduction (Joule heating) to create a temperature difference for thermoelectric power. This violates conservation laws, as the friction heat is a loss mechanism, not a new energy source. The description is physically incoherent, suggesting perpetual motion characteristics.
Unclear. The device appears to be a stove with a thermoelectric generator and fan, suggesting it might harvest waste heat to generate electricity for the fan. However, the description implies a self-sustaining or amplifying loop without identifying a primary fuel input or external energy gradient.
The device description implies a thermoelectric generator recovers waste heat to power a fan, potentially creating a feedback loop to enhance combustion. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) because the system cannot produce net work from its own waste heat without an external primary energy source. The energy to power the fan ultimately must come from the fuel's chemical energy, reducing the net useful energy output.
Unclear. The text describes a complex system with 'water circulation', 'water pressure', 'water flow', 'water pump', 'water turbine', 'second water turbine', 'third water turbine', and a 'water pressure generator'. It appears to claim energy is generated from water circulation within a closed or partially closed system, with water being pumped and then driving multiple turbines. No external energy source (e.g., solar, geothermal, gravitational potential from an external source) is clearly identified. The repeated use of 'water pressure generator' suggests it may be claimed as the primary energy source, which is a red flag.
This patent describes a hydraulic system that attempts to generate more energy than it consumes by circulating water through pumps and multiple turbines in a loop. This violates the first and second laws of thermodynamics, as it constitutes a perpetual motion machine. The energy source is not clearly identified, and the accounting is incomplete, making it physically impossible.
Unclear. The text describes a complex system with 'energy amplification' (에너지 증폭), 'amplification units', 'energy amplification devices', and 'energy amplification circuits' that appear to generate more energy than is input, without identifying an external energy source. Mentions of 'thermal energy' and 'heat' suggest possible ambient thermal harvesting, but the described amplification mechanisms imply energy multiplication.
The patent describes a system with multiple 'energy amplification' stages and feedback loops that purportedly generate amplified energy output. This constitutes a clear violation of energy conservation, as it implies creating energy from internal processes without an adequate external source, matching the pattern of an over-unity or perpetual motion claim.
Unclear/ambiguous. The patent describes a complex system with 'energy bodies', 'energy conversion bodies', 'energy storage bodies', and 'energy transfer bodies' that appear to create energy from internal interactions without identifying an external energy input. Mentions 'ambient energy' but describes it being amplified through cascading internal processes.
The patent describes a system where internal energy bodies interact to produce amplified energy outputs through cascading transfers, with no clear external energy source accounting. This constitutes a perpetual motion claim as it suggests creating net energy from internal cyclic processes without an external gradient, violating both conservation of energy and the laws of thermodynamics.
Unclear. The device appears to be a wheel-mounted generator that uses its own rotation to generate electricity, which is then fed back through auxiliary motor units to allegedly provide an 'increased driving force' to the same wheel.
The described system is a self-contained electromechanical loop on a wheel. It proposes using power generated from the wheel's rotation to drive auxiliary motors that then increase the wheel's rotation. This is a classic perpetual motion violation, as the inevitable losses from generation, transmission, and motor operation mean the feedback loop cannot sustain itself, let alone provide a net increase in driving force without an external energy source.
Ambient heat from a thermal source (hot wall) via thermoelectric generator
This patent describes a thermoelectric-based system claiming to create a positive feedback loop where electricity generated from a temperature difference powers cooling that further increases the temperature difference, ultimately cooling both sides while maintaining power generation. This violates the first law (energy conservation) as it suggests net cooling and power generation from a single heat source without rejecting heat to a lower temperature reservoir, and violates the second law as it implies heat can be continuously converted to work while reducing entropy.
Unclear primary energy source. System claims to use waste heat from air conditioner to generate electricity via thermomagnetic effect, then use that electricity to power the air conditioner, creating a self-powering loop.
This system claims to use waste heat from an air conditioner to generate electricity via thermomagnetic effect, then use that electricity to power the same air conditioner. This violates energy conservation as it attempts to create a self-sustaining loop without sufficient external energy input. The thermomagnetic effect cannot recover enough energy to run the compressor that creates the temperature gradient in the first place.
Unclear. The text describes complex cascading energy transfers between components (e.g., 'energy vortex', 'energy vortex generator', 'energy amplification device', 'energy amplification vortex') but provides no identifiable primary energy input. It suggests energy is extracted, amplified, and recirculated without an external source.
The patent describes a system of cascading 'energy vortex' devices that claim to amplify and circulate energy without specifying any external energy source. This constitutes a classic perpetual motion claim, violating energy conservation. The use of pseudo-technical jargon obscures the lack of a legitimate energy input.
Unclear. The patent describes a complex system of membranes, chambers, and fluids that purportedly generates energy from pressure differences and fluid movements, but fails to identify any primary external energy input. It appears to claim energy generation from internal cyclic processes.
This patent describes a closed system of membranes and fluid chambers that claims to generate usable energy from internal pressure and flow cycles. It violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) by not identifying any external energy input to sustain the claimed net energy output, and the second law by implying a decrease in entropy within a closed cyclic process.
Unclear. Claims to generate electrical power from IR radiation using a specialized MPU/CPU system that somehow processes IR signals to produce three-phase AC power output greater than input. Mentions ambient IR radiation but provides no quantitative accounting.
The patent describes a system that uses IR radiation detection and MPU/CPU processing to generate three-phase AC electrical power. It implies power output exceeds control input without identifying a sufficient ambient energy source or respecting thermodynamic limits for converting low-grade IR radiation. This follows the pattern of using legitimate technical terms to obscure a violation of energy conservation.
Unclear. Describes a system where 'superconducting magnetic energy storage units' appear to trigger each other's operation through NFC signals, suggesting energy transfer without clear external input. Claims of cascading activation imply energy multiplication.
The patent describes a system of superconducting magnetic energy storage units that trigger each other's operation via NFC signals in a cascading manner, implying energy can be multiplied or indefinitely sustained without an external source. This violates both energy conservation and the second law of thermodynamics, as it describes a perpetual motion scheme with incomplete energy accounting.
Ambient low-grade waste heat (via heat absorber) and solar thermal input (via solar collector). Claims to use supercritical CO2 as working fluid and a 'carbon-based sodium mixture high-conductivity magnetic fluid' for direct thermal-to-electric conversion.
The patent describes a system claiming to generate electricity from low-temperature waste heat with high efficiency using a special magnetic fluid. The core physics violation is the implied direct conversion of heat to electricity without a proper heat engine cycle respecting the Carnot limit, and the proposal of a composite fluid that allegedly enables this bypass of thermodynamic law lacks a credible mechanism.
Unclear. Claims suggest energy generation from magnetic interactions and mechanical vibrations without clear external input. Mentions 'control input' but implies output energy exceeds input through unspecified 'energy amplification' mechanisms.
The patent describes a system claiming to generate electrical energy through magnetic interactions and mechanical vibrations, implying energy amplification without identifying a sufficient external energy source. This violates energy conservation as it suggests output exceeding input without accounting for all energy inputs, characteristic of perpetual motion claims.
Unclear. The device appears to be a magnetic system (circular and bar magnets) with a reversing mechanism. No electrical, chemical, thermal, or environmental energy input is specified. The only implied input is the magnetic potential energy of the permanent magnets, which is finite and cannot provide continuous net work output.
This patent describes a magnetic motor that uses a clever arrangement of magnets and a reversing mechanism to supposedly produce continuous rotation and output work. It violates fundamental physics by failing to identify an external energy source to sustain motion against losses, effectively describing a perpetual motion machine of the first kind.
Unclear. Claims self-sustaining electricity generation from a system combining thermoelectric generation (using heat from combustion) and forced air circulation, with output power feeding back to run its own fans and controller.
The device claims to be a self-powered oil-air heater that generates its own electricity to run its fans and controller indefinitely. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it proposes a closed energy loop with no net external input, and the second law because thermoelectric conversion and combustion losses ensure the electrical output cannot fully power the device's own parasitic loads.
Claims to use heat from the radiator itself, converted to electricity via a 'thermal energy collection module' (likely thermoelectric generator) to power a control motor, with no external power source.
The device claims to achieve self-powered intelligent temperature control for a radiator by using a thermoelectric generator to harvest heat from the radiator to power its control motor. This creates a thermodynamic paradox: the control system's operational energy is drawn from the same thermal gradient it seeks to regulate, with no external power, violating both the first and second laws of thermodynamics by implying a perpetual, closed-loop energy conversion cycle.
Ambient heat from steam boiler (primary), plus claimed energy recovery from waste heat and pressure via thermoelectric generators and unspecified mechanisms
The system claims to recover waste heat and pressure from a steam boiler to generate extra electricity, boosting overall efficiency by 10-25%. This violates energy conservation because the recovered energy cannot exceed the work originally expended to create the high-pressure steam, and any recovery process itself has inherent losses. The description suggests a perpetual-motion-like feedback where waste energy recovery magically enhances the primary process.
Claims to use a thermoelectric generator (thermopile) to convert a temperature gradient into electricity, which then charges the battery that powers the entire system including the ignition circuit.
The device claims to power an electronic ignition system while simultaneously recharging its own battery using a thermoelectric generator. This creates a closed loop where the battery's energy is used to potentially create/maintain a temperature difference, which is then converted back to electricity to recharge the battery. This violates the first law (energy conservation) and the second law (cannot extract net work from an equilibrium state or a single heat reservoir without a colder sink).
Unclear. Claims describe a system where a 'heat generating device' produces heat that is somehow used to generate electricity, which then powers the same heat generator, creating a self-sustaining or amplifying loop. No primary external energy source is clearly identified.
The patent describes a system where a heat generator's output is converted to electricity, which is then used to power the same heat generator, implying a self-sustaining or over-unity loop. This directly violates energy conservation and the laws of thermodynamics, as it lacks a primary external energy input and ignores inevitable losses.
Unclear. Text appears to describe a geometric or angular configuration (37°, 72°, 146°, 25°, 140mm) and references to components A, B, C, but no identifiable external energy input (electrical, chemical, thermal gradient, etc.) is specified.
The claim is unintelligible and provides no coherent description of an energy source or conversion process. The jumbled text involving angles and component labels, with no clear input energy, strongly suggests a violation of the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation). The presentation obfuscates rather than clarifies the proposed mechanism.
Unclear/ambiguous. Claims appear to describe a system where a 'vortex' or 'whirlpool' (자동차) extracts energy from an unspecified source, then uses that extracted energy to power additional extraction processes in a cascading manner, suggesting energy multiplication without clear external input.
The patent describes a cascading energy extraction process using vortices/whirlpools that appears to create more energy than is input, violating the first law of thermodynamics. Without a clear, quantified external energy source, the system constitutes a perpetual motion claim.
Unclear. Claims suggest a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) element generates more electrical output than the electrical input required to heat it, implying energy extraction from ambient temperature gradients or material properties without a clear, legitimate external source.
The device claims a PTC heating element can generate more electrical energy than is supplied to it, constituting a 'PTC thermoelectric generator.' This violates energy conservation, as the electrical output cannot exceed the total energy input (electrical + any harvested ambient thermal energy). Extracting net work from a single temperature gradient created by its own input power is thermodynamically impossible.
Ambient humidity gradient (water vapor concentration difference) is the claimed primary energy source, with electrical input to a 'conversion unit' (20) to facilitate the process.
The patent claims a device that generates electricity by exploiting ambient humidity, implying an output greater than the control input. This violates the Second Law, as extracting net work from an isothermal concentration gradient without a compensating process (like a heat sink or a consumed chemical potential) is impossible. The description uses technical terms but obscures the complete energy cycle, indicating a perpetual motion claim.
Unclear. Text appears to describe a system with unspecified electrical/mechanical inputs (72°, 25° references possibly indicating voltages or angles) and claims to produce enormous output power (10366 HP from 1kg) without identifying any conventional fuel, ambient energy harvest, or external power source.
The patent text is physically incoherent, mixing random numbers, symbols, and units in a meaningless way while claiming enormous power output. It violates energy conservation by implying output vastly exceeds any identifiable input, using obfuscated terminology to disguise the violation.
Ambient waste heat and released cooling capacity (thermal gradients created by the device itself). Claims to convert waste heat and released cooling into large amounts of electrical energy.
The device claims to generate large-scale electricity by recycling waste heat and 'released cooling capacity' in a closed, multi-shell structure. This describes a self-sustaining power generator that extracts net work from an internal thermal gradient without a sufficient external high-temperature source, violating both the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
Unclear/obfuscated. Text describes extracting energy from a 'vortex' in a fluid to generate electricity, then using that electricity to power another vortex to generate more electricity, suggesting energy multiplication without an identified external source.
The patent describes a circular energy generation process using fluid vortices where electricity generated from one vortex is used to power another to produce more electricity, implying energy multiplication without an external source. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it lacks a clear primary energy input and suggests a net energy output greater than input.
Ambient thermal gradient between electronic components (circuit board) and external environment, harvested via thermoelectric generator (TEG).
The device attempts to perpetually recharge itself by converting its own waste heat back into electricity using a thermoelectric generator. This violates the Second Law because the heat from the circuit board is not an independent energy source; it is degraded energy from the device's own operation. Extracting work from it to recharge the battery would cool the board, reducing the gradient and requiring more primary energy to maintain device function, resulting in a net energy loss, not gain.
Unclear. Claims electricity generation from user's body heat via thermoelectric elements, but suggests this electricity powers additional components to generate more information/communication than input energy should allow.
The patent describes a communication device powered by body heat through thermoelectric elements, but implies the generated electricity can power control/communication systems to generate information corresponding to button presses in a way that suggests energy amplification. The claims lack quantitative energy accounting and ignore the severe thermodynamic limitations of body heat harvesting.
Ambient thermal energy from objects (lifeforms or objects) when they reach a set temperature threshold
The device claims to collect thermal energy from an object at a set temperature and convert it to electricity, then distribute this electricity such that the output energy equals or even exceeds the input electrical energy in a closed loop. This violates the second law of thermodynamics, as it attempts to extract net work from a single thermal reservoir without a colder sink, constituting a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Chemical energy from combustion of hydrogen/oxygen or methane/oxygen mixtures. The device claims to capture waste heat from combustion exhaust and convert it to additional electricity via thermoelectric generators.
The patent describes a combustion-based generator with waste heat recovery, but the language suggests an 'improved energy absorption rate' that could be misinterpreted as exceeding 100% efficiency relative to the fuel's chemical energy. While waste heat recovery is valid, the claim structure obfuscates the true energy balance, violating the principle of complete energy accounting.
Unclear. Claims to generate electricity from humidity gradients and ambient thermal energy using zinc stannate (ZnSnO₃) structures, but lacks specification of primary energy input. Implies energy extraction from equilibrium or near-equilibrium conditions.
The patent describes a device that claims to generate electricity from humidity and thermal gradients using zinc stannate structures, but it fails to identify a sufficient energy source or thermodynamic gradient to produce net work. The description suggests energy extraction from ambient conditions without the required non-equilibrium state, violating thermodynamic principles. The vague, cascading claims and technical obfuscation indicate a perpetual motion violation.
Unclear. Claims to generate electrical energy from an electric field penetrating a semiconductor medium, implying energy extraction from the medium itself without an identified external energy gradient.
The device claims to generate electrical energy by applying a voltage to electrodes in contact with a semiconductor, causing currents within the material. This describes a standard resistive or semiconductor circuit where the applied voltage supplies all energy, which is then dissipated. The claim that this arrangement itself 'generates' net energy violates the first law of thermodynamics, as it lacks any identifiable external energy source to convert into useful work.
Unclear. Claims appear to use ambient temperature (1300°C mentioned) to generate electricity through multiple conversion stages (thermoelectric, piezoelectric, electromagnetic) without identifying a primary energy input gradient or fuel.
The device claims to generate electricity through multiple conversion stages using ambient temperature, violating the second law of thermodynamics by attempting to extract net work from a single thermal reservoir without a colder sink. The description uses technical terms (thermoelectric, piezoelectric, electromagnetic) but lacks complete energy accounting and proposes an impossible perpetual motion mechanism.
Ambient thermal energy from cooling water, converted via thermoelectric (Peltier) effect. The system claims to use waste heat from cooling water to generate electricity that powers the cooling pump and fan.
This device claims to create a self-sustaining loop where waste heat from cooling water is converted to electricity to power the cooling system. This violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it attempts to extract net work from an equilibrium-seeking thermal process without an external lower-temperature sink, effectively describing a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Unclear. Claims involve garbage combustion and thermoelectric generation, but the described process suggests energy amplification without sufficient external input. The system appears to use initial garbage ignition to trigger a self-sustaining combustion and gasification process, with thermoelectric modules converting resulting heat to electricity.
This patent describes a garbage incineration and thermoelectric system that appears to violate energy conservation. The process suggests garbage combustion triggers a self-amplifying cycle of drying, carbonization, and gasification that produces more useful energy (electricity via thermoelectrics) than the chemical energy contained in the input waste, which is thermodynamically impossible without an external energy source.
Unclear. Claims involve garbage combustion with an automatic igniter, but describes garbage moving down a 'ladder grate' where wind from a duct initiates rapid combustion, producing high-temperature, high-pressure hot oxygen mixture that drives a turbine for electricity generation. No clear accounting of chemical energy input vs. electrical output.
The patent describes a garbage incinerator where ambient wind is claimed to trigger rapid, escalating combustion leading to high-pressure gas for power generation, but it fails to account for all energy inputs (chemical energy of garbage, energy source for the wind) relative to the electrical output. The description suggests an unrealistic energy gain from the combustion process, violating energy conservation.
Ambient solar heating (concentrated solar) and unspecified cooling from non-flowing water body
The device attempts to use a thermoelectric generator between a solar-heated source and a static water body as a cold sink. This violates the second law because the non-flowing water will inevitably warm from the rejected heat, eliminating the temperature gradient required for continuous power generation. The claim ignores the fundamental requirement for a sustainable heat sink.
Ambient thermal energy from non-flowing water body, with a heat source (furnace) creating a temperature gradient across thermoelectric generator (TEG) modules.
The device attempts to be a perpetual motion machine of the second kind. It uses a furnace to create a temperature difference across thermoelectric generators, but the cold side is cooled by the same stagnant water body that ultimately absorbs the waste heat. No net work can be extracted from an isothermal reservoir, and the furnace's large energy input is the true source, making the system an inefficient heat engine, not a novel generator.
Unclear. The text describes extracting energy from a 'vortex' or 'whirlpool' (자동차) and using it to generate electricity, but provides no identifiable external energy input. The description suggests energy is somehow multiplied or cascaded without an external source.
The patent describes extracting energy from vortices and using it to generate electricity through cascading processes, but fails to identify any external energy source to create or sustain the initial vortex. This represents incomplete energy accounting and suggests an attempt to obtain net energy output without sufficient input, violating conservation of energy.
Sunlight (primary), but claims to generate electricity from thermal gradients created by sunlight on the blinds themselves, then uses that electricity to power a magnetic actuator system that adjusts the blinds' angle without external power.
The patent describes a solar-blind system that claims to use sunlight-induced thermal gradients on the blinds to generate electricity, which then powers an electromagnetic actuator to adjust the blinds' angle for optimal sun exposure—all without any external power. This constitutes a 'self-powered' over-unity device, violating the First Law of Thermodynamics as the useful mechanical work output (actuation) cannot be sustained solely by the negligible electricity generated from the minimal temperature difference on the blinds themselves.
Unclear/ambiguous. Claims suggest extracting energy from a 'vibration source' (진동원) and then using that extracted energy to extract more energy from the same source in a cascading/regenerative manner, implying energy multiplication without an identified external input.
The patent describes a cascading system where energy extracted from a vibration source is used to extract even more energy from the same source, implying energy multiplication without an adequate external input. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it suggests a net energy output greater than the initial input, characteristic of a perpetual motion scheme.
Ambient thermal energy (water and steam) converted via thermoelectric generator, with electrical input to water pump and unspecified steam generation.
This device claims to generate electricity using a thermoelectric module placed between cold water and hot steam flows. The description implies the electrical output or resulting pressure/flow can enhance the thermal gradient in a self-sustaining manner, which violates energy conservation. The steam generation process is a major unaccounted energy sink, making this a perpetual motion claim of the second kind.
Electrical input to the motor (via brushes) and potential magnetic energy from permanent magnets.
The patent claims the motor's mechanical output is many times greater than its electrical input by extracting 'internal energy' from permanent magnets. This is a direct violation of the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation), as permanent magnets are not an energy source—their magnetic field is a configuration of potential energy, not a reservoir that can be tapped for net work output without an external energy input or gradient.
Unclear. Claims to convert waste heat from an engine into mechanical and electrical energy, then reuse that energy to enhance steam pressure/temperature, creating a feedback loop with apparent net energy gain.
The patent describes a perpetual-motion-like system that claims to recycle waste heat from an engine to generate electricity, then use that electricity to boost the engine's own steam system, creating a positive feedback loop that violates both the first and second laws of thermodynamics by implying net energy can be extracted from a single heat source through internal recycling.
Unclear. Text appears to describe numerical manipulations of unspecified temperature/angle measurements (61°, 47°, 36°) and large, unexplained numbers (e.g., 2420000000, 2408370000) labeled as energy or force, with no identifiable external energy input mechanism.
The claim presents a series of large, unitless numbers and angle-based calculations that purport to yield enormous mechanical power. It identifies no coherent energy source or conversion process, violates energy conservation by generating output from abstract arithmetic, and uses obfuscatory notation to mimic technical content.
Unclear. Claims involve combustion of processed petroleum with additives, but also suggests thermomagnetic generator converting waste heat to electricity. Energy accounting is incomplete and obfuscated.
The patent describes a complex hybrid system combining combustion, turbines, and a claimed 'thermomagnetic generator'. It violates energy conservation by failing to account for all energy inputs versus outputs, and uses obfuscated technical terms to imply impossible efficiency from waste heat conversion without a proper thermodynamic cycle.
Unclear. The device claims to generate mechanical power solely through changes in magnetic polarity between two magnetic bodies, with no external energy input specified.
The patent describes a device that claims to produce mechanical power output solely from internal changes in magnetic polarity between components, with no accounting for the energy required to cause those polarity changes. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the first kind, violating energy conservation, as it purports to generate net work from an isolated system with no energy input.
Ambient humidity gradient (water vapor condensation) claimed to generate electricity via unspecified electrochemical reaction, with no clear primary energy input.
The patent describes an air conditioner window unit that allegedly generates electricity from condensed water vapor using an internal 'reaction block'. This violates the first law of thermodynamics because it claims useful electrical output without identifying a sufficient external energy source to drive the electrochemical reaction. The device appears to be a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, extracting work from an isothermal humidity gradient without a compensating entropy increase elsewhere.
Chemical energy from micro-combustion (fuel) is the primary input. The device attempts to use waste heat from combustion and exhaust gases to create a temperature gradient across thermoelectric generators.
This patent describes a combustion-based thermoelectric generator but implies novel efficiency by reusing exhaust heat to preheat incoming gases, creating a misleading closed-loop energy recovery that violates the Second Law. The core violation is attempting to extract net work from a single thermal reservoir (the combustion chamber and its exhaust) without a true lower-temperature sink, as the cooling system is part of the same device loop.
Claims to use temperature difference inside refrigerator to generate electricity via thermoelectric elements, storing it in capacitors to power refrigerator during outages.
This device attempts to use thermoelectric elements to harvest energy from the temperature gradient inside a refrigerator, store it, and then use it to power the refrigerator during outages.

Claimed to be 'energy created by the decay of muons' attracted by a magnetic field, with a primary electrical input used to power an oscillator and coil.
The device claims to generate more electrical power than it consumes by tapping into muon decay energy using tuned coils. This is a violation of energy conservation, as it provides no credible mechanism to concentrate the extremely rare and high-energy cosmic muons into a usable gradient, and the described frequency is physically implausible for interaction with a macroscopic circuit.

Unclear. The device appears to be a magnetic or electromagnetic system (referencing N/S poles, magnetic force lines, and a 'magnetic force generation unit') that claims to generate electricity from the rotation of a turbine.

Unclear. The text describes a system with a 'magnetic energy generator' (자기 에너지 발생기), 'magnetic energy amplification device' (자기 에너지 증폭 장치), and a 'magnetic energy converter' (자기 에너지 변환기) that appear to feed energy back to the initial generator, suggesting a closed-loop energy multiplication process without a clear primary external input.
The patent describes a magnetic energy system where the output from a converter is fed back to power the initial generator, implying perpetual motion or energy multiplication without an external source.

The claimed primary energy source is the magnetic potential energy of permanent magnets. The control circuit provides a switching input, allegedly using a portion of the output energy to sustain operation.
The device is described as a magnetic generator that allegedly produces more energy than it consumes. This violates the first law of thermodynamics, as it claims to extract net energy from a static magnetic field without an external energy source. The energy to switch the magnetic flux and induce currents ultimately comes from the control circuit's initial power source, not from the permanent magnets themselves.
Unclear. The device appears to be a complex arrangement of water pipes, a compressor, semiconductor heating/cooling devices (Peltier/thermoelectric modules), and a heat exchanger. The only explicit energy input mentioned is electrical power to the compressor and thermoelectric devices, but the claims suggest energy recovery/generation exceeding input.

Claims imply energy generation from internal configuration alone.
The patent claim is a clear violation of energy conservation. It describes a device operating on geometric angular configurations without any identifiable external energy input, yet claims enormous power output (over 500,000 HP). The text is physically incoherent, using technical terms and numbers obfuscated by apparent translation errors or intentional nonsense, fitting the pattern of a perpetual motion claim.
Unclear. The system appears to use batteries to power a motor, which drives a generator to produce electricity that charges batteries. No external energy source (wind, solar, thermal gradient, etc.) is specified, despite the mention of 'wind power generator' in the abstract. The description suggests a closed electrical loop.
The patent describes a system where a motor drives a generator, with the output apparently used to recharge the batteries powering the motor. This is a closed loop with no net external energy input, violating the first law of thermodynamics. The mention of 'wind power' is not integrated into the operational claims, making this a classic perpetual motion scheme.
Claims to harvest acoustic energy from internal body sounds (heartbeat, breathing, etc.) to power the implanted medical device via piezoelectric, electromagnetic, or triboelectric energy harvesting.
The device claims to operate perpetually by harvesting acoustic energy from internal body sounds, but the available energy from such sources is orders of magnitude too small to power medical detection and communication systems.

The mechanism appears to claim energy generation from internal cyclic processes.
The patent text is physically incoherent, performing meaningless mathematical operations on angles and large numbers without describing a real energy conversion process. It fails to identify any legitimate energy source, making it a clear violation of energy conservation. The presentation is a classic example of technical obfuscation.
Unclear primary energy source.

The description suggests the thermoelectric output powers some components, creating a feedback loop.
This device describes a thermoelectric system that uses generated electricity to power the pumps and heaters that maintain the thermal gradient it runs on, implying a perpetual or over-unity cycle.

Unclear. Claims suggest energy comes from permanent magnets interacting with additional electromagnets, implying extraction of net work from magnetic fields without an external energy gradient.
This device is a magnetic perpetual motion machine. It claims to solve a 'reverse torque' problem in permanent magnet motors by using complex gearing and timed electromagnets, but its core operation relies on extracting net work from the static magnetic field of permanent magnets, which violates energy conservation. The complex mechanical description obscures the fundamental thermodynamic impossibility.
Claims to use waste heat from high-temperature smoke to generate electricity via thermoelectric generators, then uses that electricity to power fans and blowers that maintain the combustion/smoke flow. The system purports to be self-powered.
The device claims to be a self-powered stove that uses thermoelectric generators to convert waste heat from smoke into electricity, which then powers the fans needed for combustion. This creates a closed loop that violates the first and second laws of thermodynamics, as the useful electrical energy extracted is necessarily less than the heat input, and using part of it to run the system results in a net energy deficit, preventing true self-sustaining operation.
Unclear primary energy source. System appears to attempt to extract net work from chemical reactions (aluminum-air battery discharge/charge cycles) and waste heat recovery, while ignoring massive energy inputs required for aluminum production, electrolyte regeneration, and system operation.
This system attempts to create a perpetual motion machine by cycling aluminum between metal and oxide states while extracting energy at multiple stages.

Electrical input from power source controller (6) to positive brush (4) and negative brush (5) that contact the flexible conductive tube (1). The device claims to produce continuous motion from this electrical input combined with permanent magnets (3) on the sliding body (2).
This 'curved linear motor' attempts to use Lorentz forces between a current-carrying flexible tube and magnets on a sliding body to produce motion. However, because the current-supplying brushes move with the sliding body, the entire system is mechanically coupled, violating Newton's Third Law and momentum conservation. No net propulsion of the center of mass is possible without an external reaction force.
Ambient thermal energy from a heat source, converted to electricity via thermoelectric elements (Seebeck effect). Claims suggest electrical output exceeds the thermal energy input from the heat source, implying energy creation.
The device is described as a thermoelectric sheet that generates electricity from heat. However, its claimed configuration and performance imply it can produce more electrical energy than the thermal energy input from the hot side, which violates energy conservation.

Claims suggest conversion of 'magnetic and electrical energy' into electricity, implying energy multiplication.
The system describes a rotating electromagnetic assembly driven by a motor, with additional stationary magnets positioned to interact. The claims imply enhanced electricity generation without accounting for the increased mechanical load these magnetic interactions place on the driving motor, violating energy conservation.

Unclear. Claims to convert heat from a phase-change working fluid (evaporating to steam) directly into electricity via a magnetic rotor/coil assembly, then uses remaining steam for cooling. No primary energy input specified (combustion, electrical heating, etc.). Implied ambient heat is the only possible source.
The device is a thermodynamic perpetual motion machine. It claims to use the heat from evaporating a working fluid to generate electricity via a magnetic rotor, then use the 'reduced' remaining steam for cooling, implying a closed loop where heat is continuously converted to work and cooling without a net high-temperature energy input. This violates both the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
Ambient air thermal energy (claimed), but the described compressor and refrigerant system requires significant electrical input to operate.
The patent describes a system that uses an electric compressor to create a temperature difference via a refrigeration cycle, then uses that difference to generate electricity with a thermoelectric device. This is fundamentally a heat pump driving a heat engine, and the net electrical output cannot exceed the compressor's input, making the claim of generating useful net power from 'air energy' a violation of thermodynamic laws.
Claimed to be a magnetic propulsion device powered by electrical input to stator coils, but the described mechanism suggests it attempts to generate continuous motion/forward thrust from magnetic repulsion alone, implying energy output exceeds electrical input.
The device attempts to use magnetic repulsion between a stator and rotor winding to produce continuous rotational motion and net forward thrust. This constitutes a magnetic perpetual motion scheme, as it ignores energy dissipation (eddy currents, resistance, friction) and violates conservation of energy by suggesting net work can be extracted from a closed magnetic interaction cycle without sufficient external energy input.
Unclear. The text appears to describe a mechanical system with angles, pressures, and forces, but no primary energy input (electrical, chemical, thermal, or ambient) is explicitly identified. The claims suggest energy multiplication from internal mechanical arrangements.
The patent text is physically incoherent, mixing arbitrary numbers, angles, and pressures without defining a valid energy source or conversion process. The core claim of generating enormous horsepower (358,000 HP) from internal mechanical arrangements, with no clear external energy input, constitutes a perpetual motion claim and violates the first law of thermodynamics.
Ambient thermal gradient (temperature difference between stove top and mixing chamber) harvested by thermoelectric generators (TEGs). The TEGs charge a battery, which powers a spark igniter.
The patent describes a gas stove that uses thermoelectric generators (TEGs) to convert heat from the stove into electricity to charge a battery, which then powers a spark igniter.

Ambient thermal gradient (temperature difference) harvested by thermoelectric components, with claimed additional energy amplification through voltage boosting circuits.
This patent describes a thermoelectric harvesting system with voltage-boosting circuitry that implicitly suggests energy amplification beyond what is harvested from the ambient temperature difference.

Chemical energy from burning gas (primary), ambient air (secondary), with claimed self-generated electricity from thermoelectric modules to power the fan
This patent describes an outdoor heater with a thermoelectric generator that powers its own combustion air fan. This creates an apparent closed-loop energy system where the waste heat from combustion generates electricity to run the fan that enables combustion. This violates energy conservation if claimed as truly self-sustaining, as the thermoelectric conversion efficiency is always less than 100%, making net positive feedback impossible.
Unclear. The patent describes a system with a 'generator unit' (발전유닛, 10), 'power generation unit' (발전유닛, 20), 'transmission unit' (전송유닛, 30), 'amplifier' (증폭기, 40), 'control unit' (제어유닛, 50), and 'charging unit' (충전유닛, 60).

The patent describes a combustion system with thermoelectric generation but fails to account for the total chemical energy input from fuel versus the electrical energy output. It implies a self-sustaining or efficient system without addressing fundamental thermodynamic limits, creating a high risk of an implied over-unity claim through omission.
Claims to use thermoelectric generator (TEG) powered by heat from flexible electric heating pads, which are powered by a lithium battery. The TEG supposedly generates electricity from temperature difference between heating pad (hot side) and ambient air (cold side).
This device attempts to create a perpetual energy loop: battery powers heaters, thermoelectric generators convert some heat back to electricity to recharge battery. This violates energy conservation because thermoelectric conversion efficiency is always less than 100%, and the heating process has additional losses. The system would deplete its battery, not sustain itself.
Unclear. The text describes geometric angles (60°~30°), components (3-layer, 4-layer), and force interactions, but no identifiable primary energy input (electrical, chemical, thermal, ambient) is specified. It appears to claim energy generation from internal mechanical arrangements alone.
The patent claim is unintelligible and describes no coherent energy source. It mixes random numbers with physical units to obfuscate a core claim of generating enormous power (thousands of kW) from a passive geometric arrangement, which directly violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation).
Unclear/implicit. The patent describes a 'thermoelectric conversion module' with multiple thermoelectric elements connected electrically, but does not explicitly identify an external energy source. The claims focus on material properties (thickness ≥30μm, porosity ≤10%) and ratios of thermal resistances in different regions.
This patent describes a thermoelectric module but fails to identify the external energy source required for power generation. Thermoelectric devices convert heat to electricity only when maintained across a temperature gradient by an external heat source and sink. The claims focus on material properties and internal thermal resistances without addressing the fundamental need for an external thermal gradient, suggesting incomplete energy accounting.
Unclear. Claims to be a 'magnetic energy rotor motor' but provides no identifiable external energy input mechanism. The described arrangement of permanent magnets, electromagnetic plates, and sensors suggests an attempt to create self-sustaining motion from magnetic interactions alone.
The device claims to be a 'magnetic energy rotor motor' that can replace internal combustion and electric vehicle motors while increasing efficiency and range. It describes a complex arrangement of permanent magnets and electromagnets but fails to identify any external energy input, implying it aims to generate useful work solely from magnetic forces, which violates the first law of thermodynamics. The claims of performance enhancement for existing vehicles are hallmarks of an over-unity or perpetual motion scheme.
Ambient thermal energy from the environment, with implied conversion of waste heat to electricity via unspecified 'thermoelectric' elements.
The patent describes a 'heat dissipation shell' containing thermoelectric elements that convert heat into electricity to power a load or charge a battery, forming a closed loop.

Unclear. Claims suggest a closed-loop system where electricity from a 'power device' runs a 'dynamic voltage output system' to power a 'mining machine group' (cryptocurrency miners), with waste heat recovery via thermoelectric generation. The system appears to claim net energy production from its own operation.
The patent describes a system that uses electricity to run cryptocurrency miners and recovers waste heat to generate more electricity, suggesting a closed, self-sustaining or profit-making energy loop. This violates the First Law (energy cannot be created) and the Second Law (heat recovery is always lossy). The core physical claim of 'not wasting energy as heat' while producing useful output is thermodynamically impossible.
Unclear. The text describes a multi-stage energy conversion process (rotational energy → generator → energy storage → energy amplification device → energy amplification device) that appears to claim energy amplification or multiplication without identifying an external energy source sufficient to account for the output.
The patent describes a complex cascade of devices that ultimately claims to produce 'amplified' energy, including statements about achieving 100% or more output. It fails to identify a sufficient external energy source to justify such amplification, violating energy conservation. The description is technically vague and follows a classic overunity/perpetual motion pattern.

Implies energy multiplication through vortex interactions without identifying a primary external energy source sufficient to account for the claimed output.
The patent describes a water vortex system that claims to generate electricity through a feedback loop where a 'vortex amplifier' amplifies force and returns it to the driving water wheel. This constitutes a classic over-unity or perpetual motion claim, as it suggests energy can be multiplied within a closed system without an adequate external energy source, directly violating the first law of thermodynamics.
Unclear. The device appears to attempt to recover waste heat from chemical fiber production steam/condensate using a thermoelectric generator (TEG) and a heat absorption/recovery loop. No primary energy input (e.g., electricity, fuel) is explicitly stated, implying it may claim to run on or amplify recovered waste heat alone.
The device description lacks a clear primary energy input and describes a complex heat recovery system that appears to operate pumps and mechanisms solely from recovered waste heat. This violates energy conservation and the second law of thermodynamics, as it implicitly claims to produce net work (e.g., for movement and pumping) from a single thermal reservoir without a compensating heat rejection to a lower temperature sink.
Ambient waste heat from industrial exhaust gas, converted via thermoelectric generator (TEG) to power water pump and possibly other components
The patent describes a system that uses a thermoelectric generator (TEG) to convert waste heat from industrial exhaust into electricity to power a water pump for gas scrubbing. This violates the Second Law because a TEG cannot produce net useful work from a single temperature source; it requires a maintained temperature difference with a cold sink, which the system fails to account for. The proposed loop is effectively a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Ambient thermal energy from hot water poured into the thermos, which then cools toward ambient temperature. The device attempts to extract electrical work from this cooling process via thermoelectric generators.
The device is a thermoelectric generator placed between a hot water reservoir and a cooling layer. It extracts electricity from the water's heat as it cools, but this is a finite, one-time extraction from a transient temperature gradient. The description implies a cyclic or sustained generation process, which would require an external energy source to re-establish the temperature gradient, violating the Second Law if claimed otherwise.
Ambient thermal gradient (temperature difference) between hot and cold electrodes, with electrolyte enabling electrochemical reactions
The system claims to generate electricity from a temperature difference using identical electrode materials, which violates thermodynamic principles because identical materials at different temperatures cannot create a sustained voltage without an external work input or consumption of chemical reactants. This is essentially a claim for a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, attempting to extract work from a heat reservoir without a colder reservoir for heat rejection.
Ambient thermal energy (via unspecified temperature gradient) and solar thermal input (during daytime). Claims to generate electricity at night/cloudy days using only stored thermal energy and unspecified ambient energy.
The system claims to generate electricity continuously, including at night, using thermoelectric modules powered by stored heat and ambient temperature. This violates the second law of thermodynamics because it attempts to extract net work from what is effectively a single thermal reservoir without a sufficient, maintained temperature gradient to drive the thermoelectric conversion.
Unclear. The text mixes angular measurements (77°, 40°, 30°, 15°, 57°), large numbers (3.5e9, 3.14e9, 8.02e9), and references to 'ë°ì' (possibly 'water' or 'liquid') and 'í¸ì°¨' (possibly 'electrolysis' or 'electrode'). No identifiable primary energy input (electrical, chemical, thermal gradient, etc.) is coherently described.

It presents no accountable energy input while implying massive power outputs, constituting a clear violation of energy conservation through obfuscation.
Ambient heat energy from exhaust vents (thermal gradient) and unspecified 'self-accumulated heat' and 'wandering electric ions'.
The device claims to generate electricity by placing a structure in an exhaust vent to collect ambient heat, wind, and 'wandering ions,' creating a cyclic and effective energy manufacturing process. This directly violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it attempts to extract net work from a single thermal reservoir without a temperature difference to drive the conversion, constituting a perpetual motion machine.
The only explicit energy input mentioned is a 'small-power electric motor' driving the inner rotor. The device claims to convert 'magnetic energy' into kinetic energy via magnetic interactions between rotating and stationary components.
The device is a magnetic mechanism that claims to output more mechanical energy than the small electrical motor input, implying it extracts net energy from permanent magnets without depleting them. This violates the first law of thermodynamics, as magnetic forces are conservative and cannot provide net energy in a cyclic process without an external gradient or source.
Unclear. The text (in Korean) describes a 'superconducting energy generator' and 'energy amplification device' but provides no identifiable primary energy input. Mentions 'amplification' and 'output' without specifying input source.
The patent claim describes a superconducting energy generator/amplifier but fails to identify any source of input energy. Claims of energy amplification or generation without a defined energy source fundamentally violate the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation). The use of technical terms like 'superconducting' does not circumvent the requirement for an energy input to produce useful work.
Electrical input to the motor coils. Claims additional 'assistive force' from permanent magnets added to the stator poles, implying energy output greater than electrical input.
The device claims to save energy by using permanent magnets to provide assistive force, suggesting the motor can do more work than the electrical input provides, and that magnets can continue to output work after power is disconnected. This violates conservation of energy, as magnetic fields are conservative and cannot provide net energy multiplication in a cyclic process.
Ambient laser radiation (claimed to heat metal plate) and unspecified thermal gradient in pyroelectric material
This device claims wireless charging via laser heating and pyroelectric conversion, but it violates thermodynamics by suggesting sustained electricity generation from a maintained temperature gradient without accounting for the continuous energy needed to maintain that gradient against thermal equalization.
Unclear. Claims to use an 'energy source for the production of electricity without conversion' but explicitly starts with input electricity to an excitation core. Suggests induced electromagnetic force from one coil can power subsequent coils without adequate primary energy input.
The patent describes a cascading coil system that implies generating more electrical output than input by using 'induced electromagnetic force' from one stage to power the next. This violates energy conservation, as the induced fields are not an independent energy source but are drawn from the initial input, with inevitable losses at each transfer.
Ambient sound energy from broadcast speakers, human body pressure/heat on seats, and unspecified wireless power transmission between components. No primary external power source identified.
This system claims to be self-powered by harvesting human body heat/pressure and ambient sound, but ignores the energy required to produce the broadcast sound and the thermodynamic limits of harvesting low-grade energy. The described energy flow violates conservation laws by suggesting net power generation without an adequate external source.
Unclear/ambiguous. Claims 'self-sufficient' electricity generation using piezoelectric materials (pressure) and thermoelectric materials (heat) in a bed-mounted system, suggesting energy from human body pressure and possibly body heat or ambient temperature differences.
The patent describes a system claiming to achieve self-sufficient electricity generation using piezoelectric and thermoelectric materials in a bed-mounted device. It violates energy conservation by implying a perpetual cycle where internal components generate electricity to power mechanisms that reset themselves, with no net external energy input to sustain the cycle. The claims lack a complete energy balance and describe a mechanism that cannot perform net work without an external energy source.
Unclear. Claims shape deformation of conductive connecting body generates electricity from multiple thermoelectric elements, but no external temperature gradient or explicit energy input is identified.
The device claims to generate increased electricity by connecting multiple thermoelectric elements with a deformable conductor. However, it describes a cycle where an applied force deforms the module, and upon force removal, the module returns to its original shape while supposedly maintaining an electrical output. This implies net electrical work extraction from a closed mechanical cycle with no identified external energy source (like a maintained temperature gradient), directly violating the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
Waste heat from gearbox operation (friction losses) and lubricating oil, collected via heat collectors and converted to electricity via thermoelectric modules.
The patent describes a gearbox with thermoelectric generators to recover waste heat from friction. While heat recovery is physically possible, the claims of 'source-free self-supply' and using the generated electricity to power the system's own components imply a perpetual motion scheme, directly violating the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The system cannot generate net power from its own losses.
Unclear. Claims to use 'gravitational potential energy' extracted from a 'gravitational potential energy-gravity converter' to lift a main body and arm, then uses the lifted mass to generate electricity. No external energy input is specified, implying extraction of net work from the gravitational field without an external energy source to reset the system.
The patent describes a device that claims to generate electricity by repeatedly lifting and lowering masses using a purported 'gravitational potential energy-gravity converter,' with no identifiable external energy source to perform the lifting work. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine, directly violating the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it claims to produce net work from a system in equilibrium with its environment.
Unclear. Claims to convert potential energy from magnetic interactions between 'self-rotating permanent magnets' and 'common rotating permanent magnets' into kinetic energy, with an external control motor (11) as the only explicit energy input.
The device attempts to extract net work from magnetic interactions between rotating permanent magnets, which are conservative forces. Without an external energy gradient (thermal, chemical, etc.), this constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the first kind, violating energy conservation. The control motor input appears insufficient to explain claimed renewable energy output.
Unclear/unspecified. Claims to extract 'vacuum force energy' from 'vacuum frequency coils' that somehow receive energy from unspecified sources, with vague references to magnetic field interactions and permanent magnets.
This device claims to generate usable electrical energy from unspecified 'vacuum force energy' using coils and permanent magnets, with no identifiable external energy input. The description uses physics-sounding terms incoherently while violating energy conservation by implying net energy extraction from equilibrium conditions without any thermodynamic gradient.
The claimed energy source is ambiguous. The system appears to use compressed air from the engine's exhaust to position a second permanent magnet, which then allegedly provides 'assistive torque' to the crankshaft via magnetic repulsion between the two magnets. No external energy input beyond the engine's normal operation is clearly identified.
The device attempts to use a magnetic repulsion event to assist an engine's crankshaft. However, the energy to create the favorable magnetic configuration comes from the engine's own exhaust, making it an internal energy transfer, not a net gain. The system violates energy conservation by implying that redirecting exhaust energy to manipulate magnets can result in more useful work output than the original engine cycle provides.
Ambient microwave signals (claimed) and thermal energy from amplifier waste heat and ambient light. System also includes batteries and DC power source.
This patent describes a system claiming to be self-powered by harvesting ambient microwaves, waste heat from its own amplifier, and ambient light, then storing and reusing that energy to power its own components. This violates energy conservation as it attempts to recycle internal losses as a net energy source and harvests filtered interference signals which lack usable power density, constituting a perpetual motion scheme.
Ambient microwave radiation (presumably from communications) and waste heat from the power amplifier, with claimed collection of light and thermal energy. However, the system claims to use collected energy to power its own components (low-noise amplifier, mixers, etc.), creating a self-powering loop.
The device claims to be self-powered by collecting ambient microwaves and, critically, recycling its own waste heat and internal electrical noise to power its active components. This creates a closed loop where the system's output purportedly sustains its input, violating energy conservation. The thermoelectric element also cannot produce net power from its own waste heat without an external temperature gradient.
Ambient vibration (noise) converted to electricity via piezoelectric effect, then used to power a mechanical compression system for circuit board storage.
This system claims to use ambient noise/vibration as an energy source to power mechanical compression and storage of circuit boards, but the energy available from such sources is orders of magnitude too small to perform the described mechanical work. The patent describes an energy chain that would require more energy output than the claimed input source can provide, violating conservation of energy principles.
Ambient noise (claimed) → piezoelectric conversion → mechanical transmission → generator → electricity → cooling system. The system appears to use generated electricity to power its own cooling, creating a feedback loop.
The system claims to use ambient noise to generate electricity, then uses that electricity to power a cooling system and mechanical components, implying a net energy gain. This violates energy conservation and the second law of thermodynamics, as ambient noise lacks sufficient energy density to power such mechanical systems and create a sustainable feedback loop.
Ambient noise (acoustic energy) collected by a noise collector, converted to electricity via a piezoelectric or similar transducer module.
The system claims to use ambient noise to generate enough electricity to mechanically drive a rotating purification agent storage drum. The energy density of ambient noise is orders of magnitude too low to perform such mechanical work, and the patent description ignores the massive energy losses in conversion and transmission, constituting a violation of energy conservation.
Ambient noise (acoustic energy) converted to electricity via piezoelectric or similar transduction, claimed to power a compression system for storing 'safe gas' from electric vehicles.
This system claims to use ambient noise to generate enough electricity to compress and store gases, but the energy available from ambient noise is orders of magnitude too small to perform meaningful compression work. The description suggests a perpetual-motion-like system where negligible ambient acoustic energy produces substantial mechanical work without accounting for conversion losses or compression energy requirements.
Ambient noise energy (claimed) converted to electrical energy via piezoelectric effect, then used to power a signal generator that supposedly controls temperature in a fluid storage system.
This system claims to use ambient noise energy to power temperature regulation of a fluid storage system, but the energy available from noise is orders of magnitude too small for practical heating/cooling applications. The description mixes legitimate concepts (piezoelectric conversion, magnetic fields) with thermodynamically impossible claims of maintaining constant temperature without adequate energy input, violating conservation laws.
Unclear. The description suggests a system where a 'rotor' (모터) generates torque and power from interactions with a 'magnetic field' (쳇바퀴) and 'stator' (중심축), but no external energy input (electrical, mechanical, chemical, or environmental) is explicitly identified as the primary driver. The text implies energy multiplication through geometric arrangements of magnets.
The patent describes a magnetic motor/generator that claims to produce output power through special geometric arrangements of magnets and poles, implying energy multiplication. It violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) by not identifying a sufficient external energy source, and the second law by suggesting perpetual torque from static magnetic fields. This is a classical permanent magnet perpetual motion claim.
The only described initial energy input is the hydraulic pump motor, which itself requires an external electrical input to operate. The system claims to use its own generated electricity to power this pump, creating a closed loop.
The system attempts to create a self-powered generator by using a portion of the alternator's output to run the hydraulic pump that drives the turbine. This violates energy conservation, as the inevitable losses from friction, heat, and electrical resistance mean the pump requires more input power than can be recovered from the turbine it drives, making sustained operation impossible.
Unclear. Claims to use electrical energy generated by a thermoelectric module (Peltier device) during operation to charge the battery that powers the device itself.
The device claims to use a thermoelectric module's electrical output to charge its own power source, implying a self-sustaining or energy-multiplying loop. This violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it describes a system with no net energy input performing useful work (charging). The Second Law is also violated, as a Peltier device's efficiency (as a heat pump or generator) is always less than 100%.
Unclear primary source. Claims to use waste heat from the motor itself, convert it to electricity via thermoelectric generators, and feed that electricity back to power the motor.
The patent describes an 'energy-saving' electric motor that uses thermoelectric generators to convert its own waste heat into electricity and feed it back to the motor. This constitutes a violation of the first law of thermodynamics, as it implies a closed-loop system where recovered waste energy (which is always less than the original loss) can meaningfully sustain the operation, leading to a net energy gain or perpetual operation, which is impossible.
Unclear/ambiguous. Claims to generate electricity from heat (thermoelectric conversion) but describes unusual configurations with 'lightweight anti-return bodies' and 'lightweight prevention bodies' between heat source and thermoelectric elements, suggesting potential claims of enhanced performance beyond normal thermoelectric limits.
This patent describes a thermoelectric module with unusual structural elements placed between the heat source and thermoelectric elements. While thermoelectric conversion is physically valid, the description lacks proper energy accounting and uses ambiguous terminology that suggests potential claims of performance beyond standard thermodynamic limits for thermoelectric devices, warranting a violation classification due to incomplete physics analysis.
Unclear. Claims to use 'external force' to push a dynamic permanent magnet, which rotates a rotating permanent magnet to drive a generator. No specification of what provides the initial external force or how it's sustained.
The device is described as using an external force to push one magnet, causing another to rotate and generate electricity for storage. This is a classic violation of energy conservation, as the magnets themselves are not an energy source; the external force must be supplied by an external energy input, which is not accounted for. The system, as described, constitutes a permanent-magnet-based over-unity claim.
Unclear. Claims to extract and convert 'space ion kinetic energy' and 'ion kinetic energy storage systems' without specifying any actual energy gradient or input. Mentions 'liquid coil energy' powering components in a circular manner.
The device claims to output energy by extracting 'space ion kinetic energy' and using internal circular power flows between components like 'liquid coils' and 'vacuum frequency coils', with no identifiable external energy source or thermodynamic gradient. This violates energy conservation by suggesting net energy output without an input, using obfuscated terminology to disguise a perpetual motion scheme.
Unclear/ambiguous. Claims involve 'energy conversion' through magnetic field interactions between permanent magnet coils, with energy supposedly circulating between input, output, and feedback coils to amplify generator coil force.
This device claims to amplify generator output using only internal magnetic field interactions between permanent magnet coils, suggesting energy can circulate and grow without external input. This violates both energy conservation (no source for amplified output) and the second law of thermodynamics (creating useful work from equilibrium magnetic fields).
Unclear/ambiguous. Mentions 'light energy' (光能) and 'liquid coil energy source' but describes circular energy flows where coils supply energy to each other without clear external input.
The patent describes a circular energy transfer system between various coils without identifying a measurable external energy source.

The patent describes a 'fluid over-electric device' with circular energy flows between coils without identifying any external energy source, violating energy conservation. The use of undefined technical terms like 'vacuum frequency coil' and claims of energy transformation between components without thermodynamic limits indicates a perpetual motion scheme.
Compressed air from high-pressure storage tank (primary), supplemented by claimed thermoelectric recovery from the cooling effect of expanding air.
The system attempts to generate extra electricity from the cooling of expanding compressed air using thermoelectric generators. This violates the first law of thermodynamics because the temperature gradient is not an independent energy source; it is created by the expansion process itself. Extracting work from it reduces the mechanical work available from the air motor, resulting in a net loss, not a gain.
Ambient water flow (gravitational potential energy from building plumbing) converted to electricity via water flow generator, then claimed to power a 'negative ion generator' that produces additional electrical output without external power.
The device attempts to use a water flow generator to power a 'negative ion generator' that supposedly produces electrical output without any external power source. This violates energy conservation because the electrical output cannot exceed the mechanical energy extracted from the water flow, and any internal power consumption reduces net output. The claim of 'no need for external power source' while producing useful output is thermodynamically impossible.
Unclear/unspecified. The description suggests energy flows between various coils (output coil, liquid coil, input coil, vacuum frequency coil, etc.) made of permanent magnets, with claims of energy conversion and transfer between these components without identifying an external energy input.
The described device lacks any identifiable external energy input and posits circular energy transfers between internal components, which violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation). The vague, non-standard terminology obscures the fact that no mechanism for generating net energy is physically specified.
Electrical input to the electromagnet (3) from a power source (1). The device claims to convert magnetic field energy into high-pressure hydraulic energy, then into mechanical or other energy.
The device attempts to use a permanent magnet and an electromagnet to drive a hydraulic pump, implying the permanent magnet's field provides usable net work. This violates energy conservation, as the magnetic force is conservative and no external energy gradient is utilized. The electrical input to the electromagnet is the only true energy source, making the system an inefficient pump, not an energy multiplier.
Claimed to be 'atmospheric electricity' (atmospheric elektrichestva), but described system appears to be a complex arrangement of antennas, capacitors, inductors, spark gaps, and a radioactive isotope capsule attempting to harvest ambient energy with unspecified conversion mechanism.
The patent describes an overly complex apparatus claiming to harvest 'atmospheric electricity' for autonomous operation. While atmospheric potential gradients exist (typically 100-300 V/m), the described system lacks a credible mechanism for extracting net useful work without an entropy sink, and its inclusion of radioactive material suggests unaccounted energy inputs. The arrangement violates energy conservation if claiming perpetual output.

The patent describes a device that appears to be a magneto-mechanical system claiming to generate electrical power from ambient vibrations. The description strongly suggests a self-sustaining or energy-amplifying cycle with no clear external energy source sufficient to account for the claimed electrical output, violating the first law of thermodynamics. The lack of a quantified energy balance and the implication of perpetual motion mark it as a thermodynamic violation.
Unclear. The text describes complex cascading energy transfers (e.g., 'magnetic energy', 'electric energy', 'gravitational energy', 'thermal energy') between various 'energy pools' and 'energy storage bodies', but fails to identify a primary external energy input. It implies energy is multiplied or created through these internal transfers.
The patent describes a system where various internal energy pools (magnetic, electric, gravitational, thermal) transfer energy to each other in a cascading manner to produce a net output. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the first kind, as it claims to generate useful work without identifying a sufficient primary energy input or accounting for inevitable losses, directly violating the laws of thermodynamics.
Unclear. Claims to generate electrical output from a 'high-frequency potential' created by connecting to hot, neutral, and ground lines of a power source, suggesting energy extraction from the electrical grid or ground without adequate accounting of input energy.
The patent describes a device that claims to generate electrical output by creating and converting a 'high-frequency potential' from standard power lines, using multiple conversion stages and feedback paths.

Unclear/obfuscated. Text describes a cascade of 'energy devices' (에너지 장치), 'power devices' (동력 장치), and 'power generation devices' (발전 장치) where each stage's output feeds the next, with claims of amplification or multiplication of energy at each step. No primary external energy source is clearly identified.
This patent describes a cascading system of energy and power devices where each stage allegedly amplifies the energy for the next, ultimately claiming to generate more power than is input. This constitutes a perpetual motion scheme as it violates both the conservation of energy and the laws of thermodynamics by implying energy can be created within the cascade.

Unclear. The text describes a complex, cascading system involving 'energy converters', 'storage units', 'amplifiers', and 'control units' that appear to feed energy back into the system, suggesting a primary energy input is ambient or environmental energy, but the accounting is incomplete and obfuscated.
The patent describes a system where energy converters, storage units, and amplifiers are arranged in a feedback loop, claiming to produce a usable 'control output' greater than the apparent input. This violates the first law of thermodynamics by implying energy creation, as it fails to account for all energy inputs and relies on vague, cascading processes that suggest perpetual motion.
Ambient thermal energy (temperature difference between stove body and environment) and chemical energy from burning fuel. However, the system claims to use waste heat to generate electricity that powers fans to enhance combustion, creating a problematic feedback loop.
The device claims to use thermoelectric modules on a stove to generate electricity from waste heat, then use that electricity to power fans that improve combustion and create more heat, forming a positive feedback loop for 'self-powered' operation. This violates energy conservation, as the electrical energy taken from the waste heat reduces the useful thermal energy available, and the system cannot power its own air supply while also producing net useful electrical output without an external primary energy source (the fuel).
Unclear/implied to be from magnetic interactions alone without external input; claims suggest energy generation from internal magnetic field configurations
The patent describes electromagnetic machines claiming over 100% efficiency, zero reactive power, and generation without counter-torque—all impossible under conservation of energy and Maxwell's equations.

Claims to extract electrical energy from Earth's moving magnetic field without an explicit, quantifiable external energy input to overcome the system's dissipation.
The claim describes a stationary conductor extracting useful electrical energy from Earth's static magnetic field, which is thermodynamically impossible. It violates Faraday's Law, as a constant magnetic field does no work on stationary charges, and any induced current would quickly dissipate energy without an identified source of work to maintain it against resistance.

Ambient thermal gradient (ground temperature difference) and gravity-driven fluid circulation. The system attempts to use phase-change heat conduction plates to convert temperature differences into electricity via thermoelectric modules, with gravity-driven fluid loops for cooling.
This system claims to generate electricity using only ground temperature differences and gravity-driven fluid flow, which constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the second kind. It violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics because it attempts to produce net work from an isothermal environment without a genuine low-temperature heat sink to dispose of waste heat and entropy.
Ambient light (laser or sunlight) is the primary energy input, but the device claims to generate both photovoltaic electricity AND thermoelectric electricity from the same light input through unspecified 'light-wave conduction' and 'light-heat composite' mechanisms.
The device claims a single light source can generate electricity via both photovoltaic and thermoelectric effects simultaneously, which violates energy conservation. Creating a usable thermal gradient for thermoelectric generation would consume energy from the light, reducing the available energy for photovoltaic conversion, making the combined output impossible to exceed the incident light energy. The description uses obfuscated pseudo-technical language to mask this fundamental flaw.
Unclear. The text describes a 'self-sustaining energy amplification' system where electrical energy input somehow generates more electrical energy output through cascading 'energy amplification' and 'energy transfer' between components, with no identifiable external energy source.
The patent describes a system that claims to achieve self-sustaining energy amplification by transferring and amplifying electrical energy between components in a loop, ultimately outputting more energy than is externally supplied.

This system describes capturing waste heat from a braking resistor with thermoelectric generators to produce electricity. However, the conversion of low-grade waste heat to electricity is fundamentally limited by the Second Law, and the output electrical energy cannot exceed (and will be far less than) the electrical energy originally dissipated as heat. The patent's implication of substantial energy recovery violates thermodynamic limits.
Unclear.

The patent describes a device where a 'vortex field' from a first generator induces a second generator to produce 'vortex energy', which is then used to power the first generator in a loop, claiming this produces usable power. This is a classic over-unity claim that violates energy conservation by not accounting for the source of the net energy output and using obfuscated physics terminology.
Unclear. The text describes a 'superconducting generator' that appears to extract energy from ambient temperature differences or internal gradients, but no primary energy input (electrical, chemical, mechanical, thermal gradient) is clearly identified or quantified.
The patent describes a 'superconducting generator' that claims to produce energy, but fails to identify any legitimate external energy source or input. The description is vague and uses technical terms in a way that obscures the fundamental violation of energy conservation, as it implies generating net work without a corresponding energy input or a maintained thermodynamic gradient.
Unclear. Claims suggest extracting energy from 'earth's magnetic field' or 'magnetic energy' to power LEDs, implying ambient magnetic energy is the primary input.
The patent describes a device that allegedly powers LEDs using the Earth's magnetic field. This violates fundamental physics because a static magnetic field cannot do net work or provide net energy; extracting usable electrical energy requires a changing magnetic flux or relative motion, which is not described. The claims constitute a perpetual motion scheme of the first kind.
Ambient thermal energy (via temperature difference generator) and user's mechanical shaking input. The device claims to generate electricity from a temperature difference generator (thermoelectric) and stores it in a 10,000 mAh capacitor for wireless phone charging.
The device claims to be a wireless phone charger powered internally by a thermoelectric generator. It violates energy conservation by implying that a small, passively heated plate can generate a sustained, useful temperature gradient to produce enough electricity for phone charging, while ignoring the rapid equalization of temperature that would halt power generation. The described components suggest high output capabilities that are thermodynamically impossible from the proposed ambient energy source.
Unclear/obfuscated. Claims to generate electrical energy from magnetic interactions between permanent magnets and magnetic poles (N/S) without an identifiable external energy input. Suggests energy multiplication through unspecified 'energy amplification' and pole switching.
The patent describes a device claiming to generate electricity by manipulating interactions between permanent magnets and magnetic poles, implying energy amplification without an external energy source.

Ambient thermal gradient between indoor room temperature and subsurface ground temperature, converted via a thermoelectric generator (Seebeck effect).
The device is a thermoelectric generator using the temperature difference between a room and the ground. It violates the first law of thermodynamics by claiming to both cool the room and generate useful electrical power for other devices without any energy input, effectively creating energy from a single heat flow. The Seebeck effect can generate electricity from a temperature difference, but the electrical power drawn from it reduces the heat pumping effect, preventing net cooling and net power generation from the same passive device.
Ambient thermal gradient between computer case (cold side) and electronic components (hot side), with unspecified supplemental power input for compensation.
This patent describes a computer that uses thermoelectric generators to convert waste heat from its components back into electricity.

Unclear/ambiguous. The text describes a system where 'heat' is transferred to 'heat' and 'cold' to 'cold' through a cascade, suggesting energy multiplication without identifying a primary external energy source. Mentions ambient temperature gradients but doesn't specify how they are harnessed.
The patent claim describes a cascade system where heat is transferred to heat and cold to cold, effectively claiming to amplify a temperature gradient without sufficient external work input. This directly violates the laws of thermodynamics, as it implies creating a greater useful energy separation (a larger temperature difference) from a smaller one, which is impossible without an external energy source to drive the non-spontaneous process.
Unclear. The text describes a system with a 'magnetic energy generator' (자기에너지발생기), 'magnetic energy storage unit' (자기에너지 축적부), and 'work unit' (작동부) that appears to use ambient temperature/work energy to generate magnetic energy, which is then used to produce more work output than the initial input. No primary external energy source (electrical, chemical, thermal gradient) is clearly identified.
The patent describes a system that claims to use an initial work input to generate magnetic energy, which is then stored and used to produce more work output than was initially supplied. This constitutes a classic over-unity or perpetual motion claim, as it violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) by creating energy from nothing and the second law by implying a 100%+ efficient cyclic process with no external energy source or thermal gradient to drive it.
Unclear. Claims to use a 'frequency difference' between a low-frequency field (LF) and a high-frequency field (HF) to generate power, but no external energy input (electrical, chemical, thermal gradient, ambient) is specified. The system appears to claim energy generation from internal field interactions alone.

Claims to convert electromagnetic waves into kinetic energy, but the described mechanism involves active electrical components and voltage sources, implying electrical input energy is required. The patent text is ambiguous about whether the electromagnetic waves are an ambient input or a generated input.
The device claims to generate kinetic energy from electromagnetic waves but requires active electrical power to function, indicating it is a motor or actuator, not a net energy generator. The description uses obfuscated, non-standard physics to imply a novel conversion process that, as described, violates conservation of energy and momentum.
Unclear. Claims to generate electrical or mechanical energy from an unspecified source using electrodes, special conductive materials, and an applied voltage, but no primary energy input is identified. Implies energy extraction from a potential difference created by the device's own configuration.
The device is described as a 'perpetual electric motor' claiming to generate electrical or mechanical energy.

Unclear. The text describes a complex cascade of 'energy amplification' and 'energy conversion' processes (using terms like high/low temperature energy converters, amplifiers, and collectors) that purportedly use a small input to generate a larger output, with references to ambient temperature gradients and magnetic forces.
The patent describes a device that claims to amplify a small input energy into a larger output through a cascade of unspecified 'energy conversion' and 'amplification' stages, using ambient temperature differences. This constitutes a clear violation of the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, as it claims to produce more useful energy than is input from any identifiable source.
Unclear. Claims to generate electricity internally via a sliding brush cutting magnetic field lines, then uses that electricity for heating/cooling via Peltier effect. No external power source mentioned.
The device claims to be a self-powered temperature control cup that generates its own electricity via a sliding brush cutting a magnetic field, then uses that electricity to heat or cool the contents via the Peltier effect. This describes a perpetual motion machine of the first kind (creates its own operating energy) and violates the second law by proposing a closed-cycle heat pump with no net energy input.
Electrical input from an external motor (10) rotates a hollow generator (3) containing pressure chambers (7) and nozzles (4) in a liquid-filled tank. The device appears to attempt to use centrifugal force and liquid flow to generate energy, but the described configuration suggests a closed-loop fluid system with no external thermodynamic gradient.
The device uses an external motor to spin a rotor in a liquid-filled tank. It claims to produce energy, but the described configuration lacks any external energy source (like a fuel, heat difference, or elevated water source) beyond the motor's input. Therefore, it cannot output more useful energy than is supplied by the motor, violating energy conservation.

The patent describes a complex, closed-loop system claiming to produce electricity, heating, and cooling simultaneously. It violates the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics by implying a perpetual cycle can generate net useful work without a net external energy input and by ignoring the entropy increase and degradation of temperature gradients required for power generation.
Primary: Electrical input to compressor. Claimed secondary: Thermoelectric generation from temperature differences across heat exchangers (indoor/outdoor units) during cooling/heating operation.
The patent describes attaching thermoelectric generators to a heat pump's heat exchangers to generate electricity from the temperature difference. This is presented as a net energy gain, but it violates the First Law: the electrical energy generated comes from the system's own thermal gradient, which was created by the compressor's work. Extracting this energy as electricity must reduce the heat pump's efficiency or capacity, making it a lossy conversion, not a net source of power.
Unclear. Claims to generate mechanical energy by 'controlling the magnetic flux of a permanent magnet or electromagnet through a magnetoconductor' without identifying an external energy input to enable this control or do work against magnetic forces.
The claim describes a method to obtain mechanical energy by manipulating magnetic flux in a magnetoconductor. This violates energy conservation because the work required to change the magnetic permeability or guide the flux (against magnetic forces) must equal or exceed any mechanical energy extracted. The system lacks an identified external energy source, making it a textbook magnetic perpetual motion claim.
Unclear. The device appears to be a combustion chamber (燃气灶) burning fuel, but also incorporates multiple energy recovery systems (thermoelectric generator, micro wind turbine, pumps, compressors) in a complex arrangement suggesting energy amplification.
The patent describes an overly complex combustion apparatus with multiple energy recovery devices (thermoelectric, wind turbine) and recirculation systems.

Unclear. Claims suggest energy comes from 'vacuum frequency coils' and 'liquid coils' that somehow convert 'fluid system energy' and 'thermal system energy' into electrical energy through magnetic interactions, but no identifiable external energy input is specified.
The device claims to convert 'fluid system' and 'thermal system' energy into electricity through complex magnetic coil interactions, but fails to identify any actual energy source or explain how the required energy gradients are maintained.

Unclear. Text describes complex cascading energy conversion stages (흐름에너지변환체, 흐름에너지변환장치, 흐름에너지변환집적체) with multiple 'energy flow conversion' steps, but no identifiable primary energy input is specified. Implied claim is that energy is somehow multiplied through cascading stages.
The patent describes a complex, cascading energy conversion system with no clear primary energy input. The language is highly obfuscated, but the described process of multiple conversion stages generating flows that feed subsequent stages strongly suggests an attempt to claim energy multiplication, which violates the first law of thermodynamics.
Unclear. Claims to convert electrical input to mechanical output via 'magnetoelectric effect' of electromagnets, but no external energy gradient or thermodynamic cycle is described. Appears to be a closed electromagnetic system.
The device is described as an electromagnetic motor using shaped components to create motion via magnetic forces. However, the description lacks any mechanism for net energy conversion—magnetic forces in a closed, conservative system cannot produce continuous work output without an external energy source or a thermodynamic gradient, violating energy conservation.
Primarily solar thermal energy (sunlight heating water) and gravitational potential energy from water height difference between hot and cold water tanks.
This patent describes a solar thermal system that claims high efficiency electricity generation from low temperature differences, but uses vague terminology and appears to imply perpetual motion characteristics by not fully accounting for how the working fluid cycle is maintained. The description of 'separated gravity heat pipe' converting thermal energy to pressure and kinetic energy suggests incomplete thermodynamic accounting of the complete energy conversion process.
Unclear. Claims to generate electricity from small temperature differences using applied voltage to conductors separated by insulating material, suggesting it might attempt to extract work from ambient heat without a proper thermodynamic gradient.
The device appears to apply an external voltage to a conductor-insulator stack and claims to generate electricity from small temperature differences. This suggests a violation of the first law of thermodynamics, as it implies creating useful electrical work from ambient heat with an insufficiently described mechanism, risking an over-unity energy claim.
Unclear. Claims to generate electricity from 'thermal energy' but provides no temperature gradient, fuel source, or external energy input. Mentions 'thermal sensing sheets' and 'thermal sensing fins' but no thermodynamic cycle description.
This 'thermal energy generator' patent describes mechanical arrangements and output features but provides no physically possible mechanism for generating electricity. It appears to claim energy production from ambient heat without a temperature gradient, which would violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The focus on output connectors and inverters obscures the absence of any real energy source.
Unclear. The text describes a cascading system where a 'high voltage electric field' collects another 'high voltage electric field', which then collects a 'low voltage electric field', which is then converted back to a 'high voltage electric field'. No primary energy input (electrical, chemical, ambient gradient) is specified. The description suggests energy is being multiplied through recursive collection and conversion.
The patent describes a recursive loop where electric fields collect and convert each other, implying energy creation from nothing. It identifies no external energy source and the described process violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation). The vague, self-referential language is characteristic of perpetual motion claims.
Claims to use waste heat from the HBT amplifier's operation, converted via Seebeck effect (thermoelectric generators) to produce electricity that powers the amplifier itself.
The patent describes an amplifier that uses thermoelectric generators to convert its own waste heat into electricity to power itself.

The patent describes a system where a magnetic field generator's output energy is fed back to power itself, with claims of energy multiplication and self-sustaining operation. This constitutes a perpetual motion scheme of the first kind, directly violating the law of energy conservation, as no net external energy input is identified to account for losses.
Initial energy stored in the first accumulator (battery 1). The device describes a switching process between two battery banks and a wound capacitor/transformer system.
The device appears to be a switched capacitor/transformer circuit, but its described operation—particularly the reversible cycling between two batteries while powering a load—implies a violation of energy conservation. The energy to charge the second battery and power the load must come from the first battery, with significant losses at each conversion step. The claim of a reversible, sustainable cycle without an external energy source is thermodynamically impossible.
Initially from a high-voltage battery. The claim is that after start-up, only 2% of the alternator's output is used to sustain the system, implying the system powers itself with no net external input.
The device is claimed to run indefinitely after a start-up, using only a fraction of its own output to sustain operation. This describes a perpetual motion machine, which is impossible as it violates the conservation of energy. All internal processes (hydraulic, mechanical, electrical) incur losses, so the system cannot power itself without an external energy source.
Ambient wind energy (primary) and electrical input to electromagnets (secondary). The device attempts to use magnetic propulsion to supplement/initiate rotation when wind is insufficient.
The device claims to create a self-sustaining power generation cycle by combining wind and magnetic propulsion, but the description implies the magnetic system can provide net acceleration using only intermittent electrical triggers, violating energy conservation. The 'mutual complementation' described suggests energy output exceeding identifiable inputs, characteristic of perpetual motion claims.
Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) harvesting water-air temperature gradient; claims to use this electricity to power an air compressor for oxygenation
The device claims to use thermoelectric generation from a small water-air temperature difference to power an air compressor that oxygenates water.

Unclear/implied to be self-contained. The 'energy generation device' (电能发生装置) is described only as containing a coil and a rectifier to convert AC to DC, with no specification of the primary energy input. The claim explicitly states no need for external power source (电瓶或车载电源等).
The patent describes a car license plate with self-powered electronics, but its core claim of an 'energy generation device' powering all components without any external power source violates energy conservation. A coil and rectifier are passive conversion components, not a power source, making the proposed system a perpetual motion device of the first kind.

Claims to generate electricity directly from hot and cold water temperature difference, implying the temperature gradient itself is the sole energy input.
The device is described as a heat engine using hot and cold water, but its claims of high efficiency and direct conversion suggest it violates the second law of thermodynamics.

However, it violates core thermodynamic principles by failing to account for the heat energy input required to maintain the gradient against the device's own energy extraction, effectively suggesting a configuration that could produce net work from an equilibrium or self-sustaining gradient.
Unclear. The text describes a system with multiple 'temperature sources' (상기 반응 부재) and 'temperature difference sources' that interact to produce a 'temperature difference' output. No explicit external energy input is identified. The description suggests energy is somehow multiplied or created through the interaction of temperature sources.
The patent describes a device that claims to generate or amplify a temperature difference using only the interaction of multiple temperature sources, with no clear external energy input.

The patent describes a combustion system with thermoelectric generators. While the TEGs can produce electricity from the heat, the claim that this electricity can fully power the system's air and water circulation pumps to achieve 'energy self-sufficiency' violates the first law of thermodynamics.

Chemical energy from fuel combustion (hydrogen/air mixture) in the burner, with claimed additional energy recovery from waste heat via thermoelectric generators and steam circulation.
The system is a fuel cell/battery hybrid with heat recovery, but its description implies it can significantly boost efficiency and lifespan by recursively using waste heat to generate more power and cool itself.

Primarily mains electricity, with a claimed secondary energy recovery loop where a thermoelectric generator converts waste heat from an LED module back into electricity that is fed back to power the same LED module.
The device claims to use a thermoelectric generator to convert waste heat from an LED back into electricity and feed it directly back to the LED, reducing mains input.

The patent describes a system that uses wind energy from vehicle motion and a magnetic drive to generate electricity, store it, and reuse it, claiming extended range and 'circular utilization.' This violates energy conservation because the wind energy and wheel-driven generator energy are parasitically derived from the vehicle's main battery, and the system's conversion losses guarantee it cannot provide net energy gain. It is a perpetual motion scheme of the first kind.
Unclear. Claims to save energy by recycling heat, but appears to attempt to extract net work from ambient thermal energy without an adequate temperature gradient or external energy input.

The patent describes a device using magnetic nanoparticles and n-type semiconductors to generate electricity, but fails to account for the primary energy input required to create and sustain the magnetic or electrochemical potentials. It implies energy can be continuously extracted from magnetic materials without depletion, violating the first law of thermodynamics. The vague mechanism and lack of defined energy source are hallmarks of a perpetual motion claim.

The device describes a self-powered loop where a candle's heat generates electricity, part of which is used to run a fan that purportedly improves the system's efficiency enough to generate surplus power. This constitutes a classic over-unity claim, violating the First Law of Thermodynamics, as the candle's finite chemical energy cannot be leveraged to produce more electrical energy than it originally contained without an external input.
Unclear. The device appears to claim generation of DC electricity from a permanent magnet and a superconducting wire loop, with no identifiable external energy input other than an initial high-voltage DC magnetization pulse.
The claim describes a device where a superconducting loop around a permanent magnet is said to automatically generate a continuous DC current.

The system claims to be fully self-powered by converting car exhaust heat into electricity. However, the energy required to run the air pumps, fans, and control systems must come from the generated electricity, creating a parasitic load. The net output after powering these components would be less than 100% of the recovered heat energy, making 'complete self-sufficiency' a thermodynamic violation. The 'fluidic diode' is presented as a passive device that magically separates hot and cold air streams, which is not physically possible without an energy input to counteract diffusive mixing.
Ambient thermal gradient (hot source: condenser; cold source: evaporator) plus electrical input to compressor (implied but not explicitly accounted for).
The patent describes a refrigeration/heat pump cycle with thermoelectric generators attached, claiming the generated electricity can power the system's motor.

The claimed energy source is the magnetic repulsion between a permanent magnet and a superconductor made diamagnetic via cooling by a cryogenic liquid (e.g., liquid nitrogen).
The device attempts to extract useful work (run an engine) solely from magnetic repulsion enabled by cooling a superconductor.

The device attempts to use thermoelectric generation from exhaust heat to produce electricity, but the claims imply it can power auxiliary systems or reduce alternator load significantly, suggesting net energy gain from waste heat without accounting for the fundamental limits of heat engine efficiency. This violates the Second Law, as it effectively claims to extract useful work from a single thermal reservoir (the exhaust stream cooling) beyond what the temperature gradient allows.
Ambient heat from chimney walls (waste heat recovery) and chemical energy in smoke particles (electrostatic precipitation). However, the system claims to use recovered energy to power its own components (corona wire, scrapers, controllers) while also producing net electricity output.
The device combines waste heat recovery, electrostatic precipitation, and a draft turbine, but claims circular self-powering and net output without sufficient external energy input.

The patent describes a device that claims to convert ambient vibration into rotation and then use feedback mechanisms to supposedly amplify or sustain this energy, effectively creating a perpetual motion machine. It violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) by implying energy creation or perfect recycling, and the second law by lacking an entropy sink or external driving gradient.
Electrical input to electromagnetic coils and compressed air input from external source
This device claims to output more mechanical work than the electrical input by using compressed air to 'increase mechanical output,' but fails to account for the substantial energy required to compress the air.

The patent claims a device that can generate electrical, mechanical, or thermal energy with efficiency greater than unity, explicitly stating it operates 'without substantial consumption' of energy. This directly violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation). The described mechanisms, such as current flowing against an electric field in a material to generate power for an external circuit, are physically impossible for a passive system.
Initially from a battery (5). The device claims to use a motor (2) driven by this battery to spin a dynamo/generator (1). Part of the generator's output is then used to recharge the same battery and power an external load (7). No external energy input is described beyond the initial battery charge.
The device describes a classic over-unity system: a motor spins a generator to produce electricity, part of which is fed back to power the motor and recharge its starting battery. This is a perpetual motion machine of the first kind, as the total output energy (for a load and battery recharging) would inevitably exceed the depleting input energy from the battery due to cumulative conversion losses, violating energy conservation.

The only explicit energy input mentioned is a 'power source' connected to the shaft (Claim 8), but the description focuses on electrical output from the windings without accounting for the input power required to rotate the shaft and overcome losses.
The patent describes a mechanically complex electromagnetic generator but fails to provide a complete energy balance. It implicitly claims useful electrical output while only vaguely referencing a mechanical input power source, strongly suggesting an attempt to obscure the fact that the required mechanical input power must exceed the electrical output due to inevitable losses, in violation of energy conservation.
Unclear. The patent describes a system that uses 'humidity energy' to generate power, implying it extracts work from ambient humidity without a clear, sustainable thermodynamic gradient (e.g., a humidity difference or a coupled heat source/sink). The primary input appears to be ambient humidity itself.
The patent describes a device claiming to generate electrical power from ambient humidity. It violates the first and second laws of thermodynamics by implying that useful work can be continuously extracted from a single environmental reservoir without a compensating energy input or entropy sink, constituting a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.

The patent describes using ambient energy sources (wind, sun, temperature, etc.) to create 'cold energy' which is then amplified or cascaded to produce more energy than was initially captured. This is a classic perpetual motion claim, violating both energy conservation (output > usable ambient input) and the second law of thermodynamics (extracting net work from an equilibrium ambient state).
Unclear. Claims suggest electrical energy input is used to generate power, but the description implies energy multiplication or extraction from ambient gradients without proper accounting.
The patent describes a system where an electrical energy source is used to generate power, and this generated power is then used to sustain or amplify the original source's operation. This constitutes a closed-loop energy multiplication claim with no identified external energy source to account for losses, directly violating the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation).
Unclear. The device appears to use an external voltage source to create an electric field in a partially shielded conductive material, then claims to generate electrical power at a load from a potential difference arising from asymmetric electrode placement relative to that field.
The device attempts to generate electrical energy by tapping a potential difference created within a conductive material by an externally applied electric field. This is not an independent generator but a poorly configured circuit divider or transducer; any output power is drawn from the input source, violating conservation of energy if claimed to produce excess or self-sustaining power.
Unclear primary energy source. Claims to use two batteries that alternately charge each other through a DC motor and generator system, with one battery charging while the other powers the motor, then switching roles.
The patent describes a system where two batteries alternately charge each other through a motor-generator set while also supplying power to an external load. This constitutes a clear violation of the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation), as it claims to extract useful work from a closed electrochemical system without any net energy input, ignoring all conversion losses.
Unclear/obfuscated. Claims to generate energy from 'vortex energy' or 'vortex energy bodies' (íì ì²´) using geometric arrangements (angles between 60°-135°), implying energy extraction from ambient sources or self-sustaining processes without a clear, identified external gradient.
The patent describes a device that allegedly generates energy through geometric arrangements of 'vortex energy bodies' at specific angles, implying energy amplification or creation without any clear external energy source.

Unclear. The description suggests a purely mechanical input force is the only explicit source. No other energy inputs (electrical, chemical, ambient) are mentioned.
The device claims to multiply mechanical force with a coefficient up to 20, implying energy output can exceed energy input. This violates conservation of energy for a closed mechanical system. A lever or wheel can trade force for distance, but cannot create energy, making the claimed 'amplification' for power generation physically impossible.
Unclear. Claims to use 'magnetic field of the Earth's rotation' as an energy source, but describes a system where magnetic devices (100) and induction devices (200) interact to generate electricity in a generator (400), with additional output to a load (600) and feedback to input devices (800). No clear primary energy input is identified.

The patent describes a thermoelectric power generation system that lacks a clear, sustained external thermal energy source. Its structure implies a cascading or feedback mechanism that would violate the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics by suggesting the system can generate net electrical power from its own output or an unexplained internal gradient.

The patent describes a vibration-driven water circulation and power generation system that implies energy multiplication. The claims lack rigorous energy accounting, suggesting the vibration input generates hydraulic flow which is then used to produce output work, creating a strong appearance of a perpetual motion or over-unity device that violates the first law of thermodynamics.

It suggests energy is somehow extracted, amplified, and converted from magnetic fields without an external power source to create the initial gradient.
The patent describes a system that claims to amplify and convert energy from magnetic fields to produce an output, but it fails to account for the primary energy required to establish and maintain the magnetic field gradients.

Unclear. The text describes a system where a 'thermal energy source or external force' (배전반 또는 부스바) is used to generate motion, which is then captured and converted back into electrical energy through a complex cascade of conversion stages (전력생산부, 온도감지부, 제어부, 통신부). The description suggests energy is being recycled and amplified.
The patent describes a cascading energy conversion system that appears to recycle and amplify energy from a single thermal or mechanical input. This violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy cannot be created) and the Second Law (conversions are not 100% efficient and increase entropy). The lack of quantified inputs and outputs and the implication of energy multiplication are classic hallmarks of a perpetual motion claim.

The patent claim uses obscure and technically vague language to describe an energy generation device. It fails to identify a legitimate primary energy source and describes a process where a voltage or field powers a load, which strongly suggests an attempt to extract net work from a system without a corresponding energy input, violating the First Law of Thermodynamics.

The device claims to generate electricity using permanent magnets and coils in a configuration that suggests energy amplification or self-sustaining operation, which violates the first law of thermodynamics. Permanent magnets cannot provide net work indefinitely without an external energy source to reset the system, and the description lacks any identifiable input energy to compensate for losses.
Claimed to be Earth's electromagnetic field, but described as 'excess' energy harvested from a limited local space around a Krjuk antenna, implying energy extraction from a static ambient field without a consumable gradient.
The device claims to generate over 400% efficiency by harvesting 'excess' electromagnetic energy from Earth's field using a special antenna. This directly violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation), as it claims to output more useful electrical energy than is input, with no identifiable consumable energy source or gradient to justify the excess.
Unclear. Claims suggest energy output (960W) from a smaller electrical input, implying extraction of ambient energy (possibly humidity gradient) without a clear, thermodynamically valid mechanism.
The device claims to output 960W of power, ostensibly from a humidity gradient, while only accounting for a smaller 'control input.' This violates the First Law by ignoring the primary energy input needed to create/maintain the humidity gradient and the Second Law by suggesting net work extraction from a single ambient reservoir without a colder thermal sink for rejected heat.
Unclear. Claims suggest a system where a 'vibration generating device' (100) initiates a process that somehow extracts and amplifies energy from the environment (vibration) to produce useful work, with apparent feedback loops.

It implies the generation of useful work from ambient vibration without specifying the necessary energy gradient or respecting thermodynamic limits for such conversion, strongly suggesting a violation of energy conservation through incomplete accounting.
Unclear. The text mentions 'resonance', 'critical speed', and 'motor', suggesting electrical input to drive a mechanical system, but also implies energy multiplication or extraction from ambient sources without clear accounting.
The patent describes a resonant mechanical system that allegedly produces more energy output than the control input required to operate it, implying energy multiplication. This violates energy conservation unless all energy inputs (including ambient sources) are fully accounted for, which they are not. The use of resonant terminology without a clear, thermodynamically sound mechanism is characteristic of perpetual motion claims.
Unclear. Claims suggest using 'thermal energy' and 'ambient energy' with unspecified 'thermal electron movement' (TEM) and 'ambient temperature difference' (MATD) to generate outputs exceeding inputs. No clear primary energy source is identified; appears to claim energy extraction from ambient thermal equilibrium.
This patent claims a device that outputs more energy than is input by harnessing ambient thermal energy and 'thermal electron movement,' violating the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Electrical input to electrodes creates voltage difference, allegedly causing gel-like elastomer to be extruded from a hole, generating motion force.
The patent describes an 'electrostatic actuator' that allegedly generates significant motion force from electrical input applied to opposing electrodes, but provides no complete energy balance or thermodynamic analysis.

Unclear. The text describes using a 'magnetic field gradient' (자동차 중력) and a 'magnetic field gradient generator' (자동차 전용도) to generate electricity. It mentions '1-pole' generators and 'clutch' mechanisms to control magnetic flux, but provides no identifiable external energy input. The system appears to claim it can generate power from its own magnetic field arrangements.
The patent describes a system claiming to generate electricity using magnetic field gradients and control mechanisms, but fails to identify any external energy source to create or sustain those gradients against resistive losses. This constitutes a violation of energy conservation, as it attempts to extract useful work from a system's internal magnetic configuration without an ongoing energy input, which is thermodynamically impossible.
Unclear. Claim states the signal generator's required energy is obtained from the produced energy, implying self-powering/feedback from output to input.
The patent describes an apparatus for accelerating electrons using permanent magnets and a signal generator, but crucially states the generator's energy is sourced from the device's own output. This implies a self-powering or over-unity system with no clear external energy input, violating energy conservation. Static magnetic fields cannot provide net energy to sustain the process.
Ambient thermal energy from the tire and surrounding air, plus electrical input to the TPMS sensor. The claim implies extracting electrical energy from the temperature/pressure gradient between the tire interior and exterior.
The patent describes a system within a tire that claims to generate electrical power from pressure/temperature changes. This violates thermodynamics because a sealed tire at equilibrium (or in cyclic equilibrium with its environment) cannot provide a sustained temperature or pressure gradient to extract net work. Any small energy harvested would come from cooling the tire, which would quickly equilibrate, making sustained power generation impossible without an external energy source.
Initially, external air pressure applied to a pneumatic cylinder. The description implies this input is later reduced, with the device intended to sustain itself and produce net output via magnetic repulsion.
The device is described as a magnetic engine intended to produce net energy output. Since magnetic forces are conservative and internal, they cannot provide sustained net work without an external energy source to repeatedly reset the system (e.g., by doing work to move the drive plates against magnetic forces). The claim that initial air pressure can be reduced while the device runs constitutes a perpetual motion claim of the first kind, violating energy conservation.
Unclear/obfuscated. Claims to use 'ambient heat energy conversion' and 'atmospheric pressure energy conversion' to generate DC output, but lacks identification of a legitimate thermodynamic gradient or explicit external energy input.
The patent describes a device that claims to generate DC power by converting ambient heat and atmospheric pressure, implying it can extract net useful work from environmental equilibrium states without a compensating energy input or a necessary temperature/pressure gradient, which directly violates the first and second laws of thermodynamics.

Unclear. Claims suggest water is somehow used to extract energy from oil, implying a process where the energy output (electricity) exceeds the control input by using ambient water as a catalyst or medium.
The patent describes a system where water is used to 'activate' oil to generate electricity, implying energy multiplication. This violates the First Law as it does not account for the oil's chemical energy as the true input, and the Second Law as there is no valid thermodynamic cycle described. The core claim is a perpetual motion scheme disguised as a novel generator.
Unclear. The patent describes a system with a 'vibration plate' (이동체), 'rotating body' (코어), 'power generation unit' (영구자석), and 'control unit' (전자석) that claims to generate 'permanent vibration energy' (위치조절자로) and 'compensating energy' (분리자로).

The patent describes a system that claims to generate and sustain 'permanent vibration energy' through internal feedback loops without a clear, identified external energy source to compensate for inevitable losses from friction, resistance, and radiation. This constitutes a violation of the first law (energy conservation) and the second law of thermodynamics (no perpetual motion).

Ambient energy (e.g., thermal, vibrational) is claimed to be harvested and concentrated by a 'resonance device' (공진 장치) to produce electrical output that exceeds the initial control input.
The patent describes a system where a resonance device allegedly amplifies ambient energy to produce a net electrical output greater than the control input.

Claims describe a system where 'vortex energy' or 'rotational energy' (차량 통행) is somehow amplified through cascading interactions between 'vortex energy generators' (회전부재), 'amplification devices' (지지부재), and 'energy output devices' (발전장치).

The patent describes a system that claims to extract and amplify a vortex's 'inherent energy' through cascading devices to produce a net energy output. This violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation) by implying energy creation, and the Second Law by proposing work extraction from a system without a maintained external gradient. The energy accounting is incomplete, focusing on internal amplification while ignoring the primary energy input required to establish the vortex.
Unclear. Claims to generate electricity from 'magnetic energy' using interacting permanent magnets and a simple pendulum, with no identifiable external energy input gradient.
The patent describes a device using permanent magnets and a pendulum to supposedly generate electricity. It violates the first law of thermodynamics by claiming to produce net electrical output without identifying an external energy source to replenish the system's energy, which will be lost to damping and resistance. Permanent magnets in a static configuration are not an energy source.
Unclear. Claims suggest electrical input to a conductive magnetic body creates a magnetic field that somehow generates more electrical output than input, implying energy creation from the magnetic interaction itself.
The patent describes a device where an electrical input to a 'conductive magnetic body' purportedly generates a doubled electrical output through magnetic interactions, with no external energy source. This is a clear violation of the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it claims output > input, and the Second Law, as it describes a lossless, self-amplifying cycle.
Ambient vibrations/oscillations (resonance of a simple pendulum) and an unspecified 'resonance accelerator' (500). The claim suggests the initial pendulum motion is amplified to drive a generator.
The device claims to use a resonating pendulum to drive a generator, with a 'resonance accelerator' maintaining the motion. This describes a classic over-unity or perpetual motion scheme, as the electrical energy extracted from the generator must inevitably drain the pendulum's mechanical energy, requiring continuous net energy input to sustain oscillation against damping. The system violates both energy conservation and the second law of thermodynamics.
Unclear. Claims involve a 'vibration energy generator' that uses a 'vibration generating unit' to create vibrations, which are then harvested by a 'vibration energy harvesting unit' to generate electricity. This suggests a closed-loop or self-excited system where the output energy is purported to be fed back to sustain or amplify the input vibrations.

The patent describes a system that uses a temperature difference to generate electricity, then uses that electricity to create heat, which is fed back to generate more electricity. This constitutes a closed energy loop with no net external input, violating the first law of thermodynamics. The claims imply energy amplification or a perpetual gradient, which is thermodynamically impossible.
Unclear. The primary input appears to be electrical energy to the electrodes in the chambers. The claim of obtaining 'additional voltage for the external electrical circuit' from the recombination of hydrogen and oxygen (from water electrolysis) implies energy creation.
The device claims to reduce losses and generate additional electrical voltage by recombining hydrogen and oxygen (from decomposed water) back into water. This describes a closed energy loop where the recombination energy cannot exceed the electrolysis input, making net energy production impossible and a clear violation of the first law of thermodynamics.
Unclear/unspecified. Claims to generate electricity without breaking the natural environment, implying energy creation from magnetic field interactions alone.
The device claims to stably supply electrical energy without disrupting the environment, using only internal magnetic field interactions between windings. This describes a closed system with no external energy input, directly violating the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation).

The patent describes a system that claims to amplify the Earth's natural static charge via resonance to produce arbitrarily large amounts of electrical power. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) by implying energy creation, and the second law by attempting to extract useful work from an equilibrium potential without a maintained gradient. The resonance mechanism is misapplied to suggest power gain rather than controlled energy transfer.
Unclear. The text describes a device that attaches to a 'water pipe' (자동차) and uses 'water pipe vibration' (자동차용) to generate electricity via a 'vibration power generator' (열전소자) and a 'power generation unit' (축전지) with N-type and P-type semiconductors. It implies energy is extracted from ambient vibrations in the pipe.
The device claims to generate electricity from water pipe vibrations without identifying the original energy source powering those vibrations.

The description uses technical terms but obscures the fundamental physics of energy conversion.
Unclear. The device appears to claim to use the Seebeck effect (thermoelectric generation) to produce electricity, but then uses that electricity to create a temperature gradient via a Peltier device, which is then used again for thermoelectric generation. This suggests a circular energy flow with no clear net external input.
The patent describes a self-sustaining thermoelectric system that uses its own electrical output to regenerate the thermal gradient required for its operation, claiming net power production. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, as it violates both the conservation of energy and the law of entropy increase by attempting to create a sustained temperature gradient from its own output without a net external energy source.
Unclear. The text describes a device with an input that produces a larger output, but no external energy source (e.g., chemical, thermal gradient, ambient) is specified. The implication is that the device itself is the sole source of the amplified energy.
The claim directly states that for a given input, the output is larger, which violates energy conservation unless an external energy source is identified and accounted for. No such source is described, making this a textbook perpetual motion claim of the first kind.
Ambient thermal energy from the environment (ground), claimed to be extracted and converted to electrical energy without an explicit external energy input to create/maintain a thermal gradient.
The patent describes a device that claims to generate electrical energy by extracting ambient thermal energy from the ground. The core violation is thermodynamic: it attempts to produce net work from a single temperature reservoir (the ground) without a colder reservoir to reject waste heat, which is impossible per the Second Law. The described cascading of 'thermal voltage' elements suggests an unphysical energy multiplication scheme.
Ambient air (wind/humidity) via a moisture-absorbing material (930/920) and unspecified electrical input to components like electromagnets (왕복운동).

This patent describes a 'Hybrid Power Generation' device that uses ambient air/moisture absorption in a complex cascade of components, ultimately claiming to generate more electrical output than input. It violates the First Law by implying energy creation and the Second Law by attempting to extract net work without a clear, sufficient thermodynamic gradient, while obfuscating the true energy accounting with a convoluted component chain.

The patent describes a configuration of wires and magnetic fields but fails to identify any source of energy to be converted into electrical output. The claims rely on resonant states and geometric arrangements, which cannot create energy from nothing, violating the First Law of Thermodynamics. The use of correct physics terms (resonance, induction, superconductivity) in a vague and non-quantitative context is characteristic of obfuscated perpetual motion claims.
Unclear. Text describes extracting energy from a 'special magnetic field' to generate electricity, implying energy creation from the magnetic field itself without an identified primary energy input to sustain it.
The patent describes generating electricity from a 'special magnetic field' without identifying any external energy source to create or sustain that field. Extracting net electrical work from a magnetic field alone, without an input of energy to change the field or move conductors against magnetic forces, directly violates the law of conservation of energy.
Unclear. The device appears to use high-voltage electrical impulses in parabolic chambers containing a working fluid, but no primary energy source (e.g., external electrical input, chemical fuel, or ambient gradient) is explicitly identified or quantified. The description focuses on fluid circulation and vapor management.
The patent describes a complex electrohydraulic rotor system but fails to specify the origin of the net energy required to produce work. The focus on internal fluid management and vapor discharge, combined with the absence of a defined power input or thermodynamic gradient, suggests an attempt to create a self-sustaining or over-unity device, violating energy conservation.
Unclear. The text describes a system where a 'rotational magnetic field' (3600 rpm) in a 'vacuum chamber' somehow causes 'vacuum energy' to be generated and fed back, creating a self-sustaining or amplifying loop. No primary external energy source (electrical, chemical, thermal gradient) is explicitly identified, implying energy is extracted from the vacuum or created within the loop.
The patent describes a system where a rotational magnetic field in a vacuum purportedly extracts 'vacuum energy,' which is then fed back to sustain the process. This constitutes a clear violation of the first law (energy conservation) and second law (no perpetual motion) of thermodynamics, as it claims to generate net energy from a closed loop without an external source to overcome inevitable losses.
Unclear. Text references 'vibration energy' from a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and 'vibration energy' from a vehicle, suggesting ambient vibration is the claimed input. However, the description implies energy multiplication or cascading effects that produce more output than the ambient input could provide.
The patent abstract describes using vibration energy from a TPMS or vehicle to create a greater vibration, which is then used for power generation. This implies a cascading or amplifying process that would output more energy than is input from the ambient vibrations, directly violating the conservation of energy. No legitimate external energy source or thermodynamic cycle is identified to make this possible.

The patent describes a cascading system where an initial 'energy conversion module' purportedly powers a second module and a thermoelectric generator, ultimately producing electricity. However, it fails to identify any external energy source (thermal gradient, chemical, radiative, etc.) to drive the initial conversion, implying creation of energy from nothing. This violates energy conservation.
Unclear. Claims to convert ambient electromagnetic energy (RF) and temperature differences into DC electricity, but describes a process where the output DC power is used to power the same conversion system, suggesting a self-sustaining or over-unity loop.
The patent describes a device that supposedly converts ambient RF and thermal energy into DC electricity, then uses part of that output to power its own operation while providing excess power.

Claimed to be solely from the energy of the permanent magnets themselves, with a small battery input only used to 'switch off' the magnetic fields.
The device claims to be driven only by the energy of its permanent magnets, using a small battery input to switch the fields.

The primary claimed energy source is water, with electrical energy input to a high-frequency resonance electrolysis unit to dissociate it into hydrogen and oxygen (knallgas).
The patent describes a system that electrolyzes water into hydrogen and oxygen, then converts them back to water in a fuel cell or engine to produce work, while recycling part of the output to run the electrolyzer.

The device is an electrically-powered heat pump that creates a temperature difference, then uses thermocouples to generate electricity from that difference. This is a classic thermodynamic violation: the work input to the compressor will always exceed the electrical energy recoverable via the thermoelectric effect from the resulting gradient, resulting in a net loss, not a power source.

The device claims to generate useful energy from the quantum vacuum, a source not known to be practically extractable for net energy production. It combines this with allusions to cold fusion, creating a proposal that lacks a coherent, physically valid energy conversion mechanism and would violate energy conservation if it produced net output without an identified external energy input.
Unclear. The text describes a 'vortex' and 'rotation' generating electricity, but no primary energy input (electrical, chemical, thermal gradient, ambient, or stored) is explicitly identified. The description suggests the device's own rotation/vortex is meant to sustain and amplify energy output.
The patent describes a vortex/rotation-based electricity generator with no clear source of input energy, implying the system's own motion can produce a net energy output. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it describes an energy multiplication effect without accounting for all inputs, characteristic of a perpetual motion claim.
Unclear. Claims suggest energy is extracted from ambient humidity ('humidity gradient') and then somehow amplified or cascaded to produce more energy than input, but no legitimate external gradient or energy source is properly identified.
The patent describes a device that uses ambient humidity to generate electricity and then uses that electricity to create a larger humidity gradient to generate even more electricity, forming a closed, self-amplifying loop. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it implies creating net energy from a single ambient source without an external driving gradient or sink.
Unclear. The patent describes a device that appears to extract energy from water flow (microfluidics) and uses that energy to pump water, suggesting a self-sustaining or energy-amplifying loop without an identified external primary energy input.
The patent describes a device that uses microfluidic water flow to generate power and then uses that power to pump water, implying a circular energy flow with no net external energy input. This constitutes a perpetual motion scheme, violating the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation). The description lacks a clear, sustainable external energy source to overcome inevitable losses.
Claimed to be 'Raumelektrizität' (space electricity/ambient electrical potential), but no identifiable, quantifiable external energy gradient or input is specified. The device appears to rely solely on internal material properties and geometry to generate a sustained DC current.
The device claims to generate a continuous DC current and voltage using only electrodes of different size/shape connected by a conductor, powered by vague 'space electricity.' This violates energy conservation, as it proposes a closed, static system that can do electrical work indefinitely without an external energy source to replenish it, constituting a perpetual motion machine.
Unclear. The text describes complex interactions between magnetic and electric fields (Faraday's Law, Lorentz Force) and mentions 'utilizing magnetic field sources and electric field sources', but fails to identify any primary energy input. It appears to suggest energy generation from field interactions alone.
The patent describes a device that claims to generate electric and motive power through complex interactions between magnetic and electric fields. It fails to identify any external energy source, implying the system can produce net work from internal field interactions alone, which directly violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation).
Unclear. Claims to extract energy from ambient humidity/water vapor gradients using a 'humidity energy converter' that somehow amplifies the extracted energy through a feedback loop involving 'control input' electricity.
The patent describes a device that uses a small electrical input to extract energy from ambient humidity, then claims the extracted energy is amplified and fed back, resulting in a net output greater than the control input. This is classic over-unity/perpetual motion logic that violates energy conservation, as it lacks a clear, sufficient external energy source and ignores thermodynamic limits on extracting work from humidity gradients.
Unclear. The text describes a system where a 'magnetic field generator' (10) receives an 'input current', and through interaction with a 'magnetic field amplification unit' (20) and a 'current induction device' (30), it appears to generate output that is then fed back or used. No primary external energy source (e.g., fuel, external thermal gradient, sunlight) is clearly identified beyond the initial input.
The patent describes an electromagnetic system with feedback that lacks a clear, sustained external energy source. The implied operation suggests energy amplification or self-sustaining power, which violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it would create energy from nothing within a closed loop.
Unclear/obfuscated. Claims to extract energy from ambient temperature gradients (atmospheric/ground) and convert it via 'electromagnetic' processes, but lacks specification of the actual energy input mechanism. Suggests energy multiplication through cascading.
The patent describes a device claiming to generate useful energy from ambient temperature differences between air and ground, using electromagnetic processes and cascading effects. It violates core thermodynamics by implying net energy extraction from equilibrium or near-equilibrium conditions without a proper heat engine cycle or external work input, and obfuscates the actual energy source.
Unclear. The text describes a complex process where 'fluid' (1) with 'particles' (2) creates 'energy' that is collected by an 'energy collector' (3), converted by a 'converter' (4), and output by a 'discharge device' (5). The only explicit input mentioned is the initial fluid (1) and particles (2), suggesting an attempt to extract net work from an internal, closed process.
The patent describes a closed system where fluid and particles interact to generate a continuous energy output through collectors and converters. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine, as it claims to produce net useful work without any external energy input, directly violating the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
Unclear. The text describes a magnetic interaction where N-pole magnets are moved toward S-pole magnets, allegedly causing a 'force amplification' that produces 4 units of output from 1 unit of input. No explicit external energy source is identified beyond the initial mechanical input to move the magnets.
The claim describes a magnetic configuration that allegedly amplifies force or energy, producing 4 output units from 1 input unit. This violates energy conservation, as magnetic forces are conservative and cannot create energy. The system is a passive magnetic arrangement, not an energy source.
Ambient light (laser or lamp) is the primary energy input. The device claims to use this light to create and move a synthetic electrical conductor (via photoelectric effect or laser ionization) within a magnetic field to induce voltage.
The patent describes using light to create and move a conductive region within a material in a magnetic field to generate electricity. However, it fails to account for the substantial energy input required by the light source (laser/lamp) to create and manipulate the conductor. The generated electrical energy cannot exceed the optical energy input, making its claim as a long-term 'battery replacement' a thermodynamic violation.
Unclear. Claims appear to suggest energy is generated from collisions between hydrogen and oxygen molecules within a pressurized copper grid, with 20% of collisions converting to radiation, yielding a 300% return on the initial electrolysis input.
The device claims to output vastly more energy than input, violating the first law of thermodynamics. The described mechanism of extracting energy from hydrogen-oxygen collisions is physically incoherent and includes impossible claims like converting 20% of proton-neutron collisions into usable radiation during chemical processes.
Unclear. Claims suggest energy is generated from the 'dematerialization' of arbitrary substances ('Stoffe') into 'pure energy forms' (vortex waves, magnetic fields, gravity field enhancement, voltage, current, heat) via vortex formation induced by radiation. No identifiable primary external energy source is quantified; input appears to be only initiating radiation.
The patent describes a system that claims to convert arbitrary matter directly into usable electrical and kinetic energy via vortex formation, violating both the conservation of mass-energy and the laws of thermodynamics. The mechanism relies on undefined processes like 'dematerialization' and claims output power without a sufficient, quantified input, constituting a perpetual motion scheme.
Unclear and ambiguous. Mentions light irradiation, 'bound voltage energy' in a container, magnets, coils, and 'gravity field amplification' antennas. No identifiable primary energy input; appears to suggest the system generates more energy than it consumes.
The patent describes a system combining magnets, coils, light, and 'gravity antennas' to produce rotational motion and electrical energy without a clear, sufficient external energy source. It uses scientifically vague terms like 'bound voltage energy' and 'gravity field amplification,' strongly suggesting an attempt to claim a perpetual motion or over-unity device that violates energy conservation.
Unclear. The text describes a complex system with components like 'abstract energy source (11)', 'energy amplification (4)(4-1)', and 'force F2', but no explicit external energy input is identified. The description suggests energy is somehow created or amplified within the system through cascading processes.
The patent claim describes a system that appears to generate or amplify energy through internal cascading processes without identifying a legitimate external energy source. The use of obfuscating technical terms and the lack of clear energy accounting strongly suggest a violation of the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation).
Unclear. Claims to generate 7.5-15kW from a 0.75kW input, implying energy multiplication from an unspecified source, possibly ambient heat or the battery itself.
The device claims to produce 10-20 times more electrical energy than it consumes, which directly violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation). The description lacks identification of a sufficient external energy source to justify the claimed output, making it a perpetual motion claim of the first kind.
Unclear. Claims suggest electrostatic motor operation but imply energy generation from electrode interactions without clear external input accounting.
The patent describes an electrostatic motor but fails to account for the energy required to establish and maintain the high voltage (50kV) electrostatic fields. The claims suggest electrodes can generate continuous motion through their interactions, implying energy extraction without adequate input energy accounting, which violates energy conservation principles.
The claimed source is the potential energy of the atmospheric electric field (Earth-ionosphere capacitor). The laser is intended as a switch to create a conductive path to discharge this stored energy.
The method ignores the energy required to ionize the atmosphere with a laser, which would vastly exceed any electrical energy harvested from the brief discharge of the atmospheric capacitor. It presents a single discharge as a continuous energy source, violating conservation of energy.
Unclear. Claims to directly convert magnetic energy to electrical energy without an external energy input or changing magnetic field. The electromagnet coil (6) requires electrical input to magnetize the iron cores (2,3), suggesting the device consumes more energy than it could possibly produce.
This 'magnetic energy source' claims to generate electricity from a static magnetic configuration, which violates Faraday's Law of Induction and the conservation of energy. The described setup lacks any mechanism for sustained energy conversion (like motion or a changing field) and obscures the true energy input required to power its electromagnet.
Unclear. Claims to generate commercially exploitable electrical/magnetic energy from 'nuclear-origin internal fluxes' induced by magnetic resonance in a ferromagnetic bar, with only electrical input to coils implied.
The device claims to generate commercial-scale electricity and perform isotope transmutation using only magnetic resonance in a ferromagnetic metal, with no plausible source for the massive energy required. It uses correct-sounding physics terms ('nuclear magnetic resonance') in an incorrect context to obfuscate a violation of energy conservation.
Unclear. Claims to increase electrical power/current by mechanically moving electrons between conductors using a vibrating membrane in a low-pressure gas chamber. Implied input is mechanical work to drive the membrane, but this is not explicitly quantified as the primary energy input.
The device claims to increase electrical power by mechanically 'pumping' electrons between conductors, which violates the conservation of energy and fundamental circuit laws. The description treats electrons like a compressible fluid that can be concentrated to increase current, a physically incorrect model that, if implemented, would require more energy to drive the mechanical system than any electrical gain.
Radioactive decay of isotopes (Co-60, Rb-87, Eu-154, Pd-107, Tc-99) used as the conductive winding material. The energy input is the kinetic energy of emitted beta particles (electrons) and gamma photons.
The patent claim violates fundamental physics by treating the conductive winding of a generator or transformer as its own fuel source. While radioactive decay is a real energy source, the described configuration provides no plausible mechanism for efficiently converting that decay energy into usable electrical power via standard generator/transformer operation. It misapplies terminology to create an impossible device.
Unclear. The only explicit source is the electrical 'control current' used to switch the field generators. The patent implies net unidirectional force/work can be generated from the interaction of these time-varying fields, suggesting an attempt to use the field energy itself as a source without accounting for the energy required to establish and collapse those fields.
The patent describes a timing scheme for switching electromagnetic fields between coupled generators to produce a net, unidirectional force. This constitutes a reactionless drive attempt, violating conservation of momentum. The energy required to create and manipulate the fields is not properly balanced against the claimed useful work output, violating energy conservation.
Ambient thermal energy (claimed) and electrical control input. Primary magnetic energy from permanent magnets is a stored internal energy source, not an external input.
The device claims to generate electrical power and provide cooling using only a small control current, primarily leveraging permanent magnets and ambient heat. This violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation) by implying net work and heat extraction from a single temperature reservoir, and the Second Law by suggesting a spontaneous decrease in entropy without compensation.
Ambient mechanical energy (wind, water, thermal expansion/contraction) is claimed to be converted directly into electricity via friction between magnet-studded surfaces and coils.
The device is fundamentally a standard electromagnetic generator (moving magnets relative to coils) mislabeled as 'friction electricity.' The claim of directly converting ambient motions ignores that overcoming the magnetic drag and coil resistance requires more mechanical work input than can be obtained as electrical output, violating conservation of energy. It presents a perpetual motion scheme by obscuring the true input energy needed to sustain the motion against the inherent braking forces.
Ambient solar radiation and terrestrial magnetic fields. The description is vague, implying energy is somehow concentrated or converted from these ambient sources by the geometry and materials.
The apparatus describes a passive geometric structure with no identifiable mechanism to convert ambient magnetic fields and sunlight into useful net power. It violates the first law of thermodynamics by implying energy generation from equilibrium conditions and fails to describe a process that could have a non-zero efficiency under known thermodynamic limits.
Claims to convert cosmic ray radiation (gamma rays and other components) into electricity via a metal pyramid structure and a semiconductor bar. Also claims a secondary 'anti-gravity' effect from an internal stack of 8 pyramids made of alternating metals.
The claim violates fundamental physics by proposing both unlimited energy extraction from cosmic rays—a source with negligible power density—and anti-gravity from a passive metal stack. No mechanism described aligns with known conservation laws or thermodynamic limits.
Unspecified and non-physical. Claims to harvest 'pyramid energy' or vibrations via electrodes placed on a pyramid's edges and faces, with no identifiable physical energy gradient or input.
The device claims to extract 'pyramid energy' via electrodes on a pyramid to power treatment electrodes, but provides no physically valid energy source or conversion process. It violates energy conservation by implying useful energy can be drawn from a passive geometric shape without an external gradient or input.
Unclear. Claims to generate mechanical energy from electrical stimulation of high-molecular electrolytes, implying energy output from material deformation/extension without identifying an external energy gradient or fuel source beyond the initial electrical input.
The patent claims violate core thermodynamics by asserting that applying an electric potential to an electrolyte-containing polymer generates mechanical energy, implying creation of energy from material deformation alone. No external energy source or gradient is identified to justify a net energy output, making this a perpetual motion claim of the first kind.
Ambient free ions in space. The device claims to extract electrical energy by resonantly vibrating these ions within a 'collector battery' (capacitive element) without depleting its charge.
The patent describes a system that claims to generate usable electrical power by vibrating ambient ions. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it proposes a continuous net energy output from an equilibrium source, and the second law as it lacks a necessary temperature gradient or entropy sink. The mechanism is functionally a perpetual motion machine of the first kind.
Unclear. Claims suggest initial electrical 'Anregerstrom' (exciter current) starts the process, after which the device supposedly generates excess electrical energy from the mechanical motion of charge carriers changing directions within a circular structure.
The device claims to generate more electrical energy than it consumes after an initial start, violating the first law of thermodynamics. It misuses terms from quantum mechanics and electromagnetism to obfuscate a classic perpetual motion scheme, where no legitimate external energy source is identified to account for the claimed excess output.
The only explicit energy input is the initial electrical energy used to intermittently power an electromagnet. The system claims to amplify this input via magnetic repulsion against a permanent magnet to drive a hydraulic piston, store pressurized fluid, and ultimately drive a generator.
The system violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation). The claimed 'amplification' of electrical energy is impossible; the permanent magnet provides a static field, not a source of usable energy. All useful work output must originate from the electrical input, and after accounting for losses in multiple conversion stages, the output will be less than the input.
Unclear primary energy source. The device appears to use a fuel (gas or liquid fuel) burned in a combustion chamber, with some heat used to generate electricity via thermoelectric effect (Seebeck effect). However, the description suggests a closed-loop system where exhaust gases are re-gasified and recycled, implying energy recycling without sufficient external input.
This patent describes a perpetual motion machine of the first kind. It claims to burn fuel to generate electricity, then recycle the exhaust gases back into fuel using heat from combustion, creating a closed loop that would produce net energy without continuous fuel input. This violates both energy conservation and the laws of thermodynamics governing energy quality and entropy.
Heat from an external source (sun, fossil, nuclear, geothermal) plus an external electrical input (voltage or current source) to apply an EMF.
The patent describes a device requiring both heat AND an external electrical power input, yet claims 'maximum efficiency near unity' for converting heat to electricity. This directly violates the second law of thermodynamics (Carnot limit) for any heat engine and suggests incomplete accounting of the external electrical input energy, making it a perpetual motion claim of the second kind.
Chemical energy from fuel combustion in an internal combustion engine, with claimed additional electricity generation via magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) principles from the ionized combustion gases within the cylinder.
The device is an internal combustion engine cylinder liner with an embedded solenoid, attempting MHD power generation from the ionized combustion gases. While MHD generation is physically possible, the claim of 'self-powering' or net supplementary power violates the First Law, as the extracted electrical energy must come from the enthalpy of the fuel, reducing the mechanical work output or increasing fuel consumption proportionally.
Ambiguous. Claim 7 mentions a 'primary energy input from a renewable energy source for driving the trolleys,' but the core claimed mechanism uses the motion of modules rolling outward on moving trolleys to generate electricity, with a return system (Claims 5, 6, 9) that attempts to recover/amplify energy.
The apparatus attempts to generate electricity from modules moving outward on rotating tracks, but the energy to spin the tracks and overcome generator drag must come from an external source. The return system, which claims to lift a module higher than another falls using energy extracted from the falling module, is a textbook perpetual motion machine of the first kind, violating energy conservation.
Unclear and contradictory. Mentions a Van de Graaff generator for electrostatic electricity and an acoustic-to-mechanical energy converter to turn that generator. No primary energy source (e.g., fuel, external power) is identified for the acoustic or mechanical driver.
The device claims to be a self-contained vehicle that can accelerate itself to light speed using only internal electrostatic and magnetic arrangements. This violates the conservation of energy and momentum, as it proposes to generate net propulsion and kinetic energy from internal forces without any external energy input or reaction mass, constituting a perpetual motion machine.
Unclear. The patent describes a system where mercury vapor mixed with magnetic particles flows through a spiral tube, driving an internal rotor connected to a generator. The only explicit energy inputs mentioned are for vaporizing mercury and possibly electromagnets, but these are not quantified. The system implies energy extraction from the circulating fluid itself.
The device is a thermodynamic violation. It describes a closed mercury vapor cycle that requires substantial energy input for vaporization but claims to produce net mechanical/electrical work from the fluid's motion alone. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the first kind, as it lacks an identified external energy source sufficient to overcome system losses and provide net output.
Unclear. The primary input is implied to be the 'Erregerstromleitung' (exciter current line) from an externally driven generator. The device appears to be an add-on component intended to modify or enhance generator output, but no new external energy source is specified.
The patent describes a complex gas-discharge cylinder inserted into generator windings but fails to identify any legitimate source of energy beyond the input from the externally driven generator. The use of hydrogen pressures, specialized coatings, and winding configurations suggests an attempt to generate additional electrical power passively, which would violate energy conservation if output exceeds all identifiable inputs.
Unclear. Claims to extract energy from 'Earth orbit waves' (Erdbahnwellen) allegedly resulting from solar eclipses and the Moon's orbit, using resonant structures (concert grand pianos, pyramids, water containers) excited by drum beats or infrasound to drive unbalanced masses/generators.
The claim violates fundamental physics by proposing a generator that runs on undefined 'Earth orbit waves' excited by sound, without identifying a real external energy source to compensate for electrical and frictional losses. It attempts to extract net work from a resonant system without an input, constituting a perpetual motion scheme.
Unclear. Claims to modify a standard externally-driven generator with evacuated copper cylinders containing low-pressure hydrogen and lithium-coated copper coils, implying some novel internal energy generation or amplification process.
The patent describes a passive modification to a standard generator's windings. It provides no plausible physical mechanism or identified energy source to increase electrical output beyond the mechanical work input driving the generator, directly violating the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation). The described components cannot create energy.
Ambient air and water from high altitude, with potential energy from height difference and possible buoyancy from helium-filled sections. The primary claimed energy conversion is from mixing/compressing these inputs and harvesting electrical discharges (Spannungsüberschläge).
The device claims to generate electricity from mixing high-altitude gas, water, and air, but fails to account for the substantial energy needed to compress and move these fluids. The proposed generation of electrical sparks within the chamber lacks a physically coherent source, making the system a net energy consumer, not a producer, thus violating conservation of energy.
Ambient heat (thermal energy) and electrical input to the electromagnets. The claim implicitly suggests extracting additional electrical energy from the thermal energy via resonant interaction.
The device claims to convert heat into electricity using resonant electromagnetic fields, effectively proposing a heat engine without a cold sink. This violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it implies extracting net work from a single thermal reservoir. The description uses correct physics terms (induction, interference, frequency) but in an incorrect and obfuscating manner to suggest energy amplification.
Unclear. Claims suggest energy is extracted from free electrons in the material of an 'electron multiplier' (Elektronenvervielfältiger), implying energy creation from the material itself without an external gradient or fuel. Claim 6 suggests the energy to maintain the cryogenic (superconducting) system can be taken from the device's own output.
The device claims to generate electrical power using superconducting ring systems and an 'electron multiplier' in a cyclic process, suggesting that after an initial start, energy can be continuously drawn from the multiplier's material. This constitutes a clear violation of the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) by claiming a perpetual energy source, and the second law by proposing a closed cycle that produces net work without an external energy gradient.
Unclear. Claims to generate electrical energy from a 'magnet process' in a wire coil using a small battery input to control/switched magnetic field elements. No external energy gradient (thermal, mechanical, radiative) is identified as the primary input.
The device claims to generate continuous electrical energy by using a small battery current to control magnets around a coil. This violates energy conservation, as the energy to create the changing magnetic flux—which induces current in the coil—must come from somewhere and cannot be less than the electrical energy generated, minus losses. The patent describes a control mechanism, not an energy source.
Unclear. The text references compressed air input ('Preßluft 1'), ambient air pressure, and the 'mystery of climbing water' (capillary action), but provides no coherent, complete energy accounting. It implies energy generation from pressure differentials and air refilling vacuum spaces, which are not primary energy sources.
The device description is incoherent and obscures the true energy source. It attempts to use Bernoulli's principle and ambient air pressure as a perpetual source of work, violating energy conservation by ignoring the work required to create the initial compressed air and flow. The claims are phrased in a misleading mix of correct physics terms and nonsense.
Ambient thermal gradient (hot and cold sources) and external mechanical work to rotate the shaft.
The device claims to generate electricity from a temperature gradient using rotating metal blades, but it misapplies thermoelectric principles and omits the energy cost of rotation. The described mechanism has no basis in known physics and implicitly violates the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics by suggesting a net energy output.
Claimed to be 'quantenelektrodynamische Kernenergie-Direktumwandlung' (quantum electrodynamic nuclear energy direct conversion) from ferro/ferrimagnetic nuclear fuel inserts via unspecified nuclear processes triggered by electromagnetic manipulation of electron spins.
The claim violates fundamental physics by asserting that a magnetic system can output more mechanical energy than is input during its cycle, with the excess supposedly drawn from nuclear energy. However, it provides no credible mechanism for nuclear energy release and describes a magneto-mechanical cycle that would itself create perpetual motion, contradicting conservation laws.
Unclear. Mentions Earth's and Sun's magnetic fields, but no coherent mechanism for extracting usable energy from them is described. Suggests using superconducting coils and commutators in a transformer-like configuration, implying energy generation without a clear primary input.
The claim violates core physics principles by implying energy generation and propulsion can be achieved by interacting with planetary magnetic fields using superconducting coils and commutators, without a clear source of energy input or a mechanism that respects the conservation of energy. The use of technical terms like 'supraleitspule' (superconducting coil) and 'Kommutator' obfuscates the lack of a viable thermodynamic process.
The only explicit energy input is the electrical energy used to perform electrolysis. The claim implies the generator's output is driven by this process, but the electrolysis product (e.g., hydrogen/oxygen) is not specified as a fuel for an engine or fuel cell to complete a cycle.
The claim describes using electrolysis to drive a generator but fails to account for the complete energy cycle. The electrical energy used for electrolysis is greater than the recoverable chemical energy in the gases, and any subsequent conversion back to electricity incurs further losses, making a net energy gain impossible. This is a classic violation of energy conservation.
The patent claims the energy source is the 'magnetic energy of the magnets,' implying the static magnetic field of permanent magnets can be directly converted into usable electrical energy without an external energy input to deplete or change the magnet.
The device is a disguised perpetual motion machine. It uses an exciter current to switch magnetic flux paths through a secondary coil, inducing a current. The input energy to the exciter coil must equal or exceed the output energy from the secondary coil, plus losses. The patent incorrectly claims the output energy comes from the magnet itself, violating conservation of energy.
Unclear. The system appears to be a thermoelectric generator (TEG) using a temperature gradient between a heat source (fire) and a heat sink, but the description suggests the TEG's electrical output powers a fire suppression system (sprinklers/cooling liquid circulation) that maintains the cold side, creating a self-sustaining loop.
The patent describes a thermoelectric fire suppression system that uses heat from a fire to generate electricity, which then powers a cooling system to maintain the cold side of the generator. This creates a logical loop where the system's output is used to sustain its own operating condition without a clear, continuous external energy source, violating the first law of thermodynamics.
Unclear. The text describes a complex system with multiple components (modules, electrodes, collectors, etc.) but provides no identifiable primary energy input. It appears to claim energy generation through unspecified interactions between components without an external source.
The patent describes a system that appears to generate or collect energy through internal component interactions without specifying any external energy source. This constitutes a violation of energy conservation, as it claims to produce useful work from what is effectively a closed system with no net energy input, making it a perpetual motion claim.
Unclear. Claim implies electrical energy is generated from the flow of a polar liquid between two semiconductors with different Fermi levels, without identifying an external energy input to sustain the flow or create the initial potential difference.
The device is presented as a DC generator but lacks a clear, external energy source. It attempts to generate continuous electrical power solely from the flow of a polar liquid between two semiconductors, which violates energy conservation. The description uses correct physics terms (Fermi level) but applies them to a mechanism that cannot produce net power without an external energy input to drive the liquid flow and overcome losses.
Claims to use heat from 'candle flame combustion' to generate electricity via thermoelectric modules to power wireless sensor modules, implying self-sustaining operation without external power.
The device claims to be a 'source-less' configuration that powers wireless sensors using only heat from a candle flame converted via thermoelectrics. This violates energy conservation by ignoring the finite chemical energy of the candle fuel and obfuscates the thermodynamic limits of low-efficiency thermoelectric conversion, presenting it as a perpetual power source.
Unclear. Claims describe energy flows between 'primary energy', 'secondary energy', 'positive electrode energy', and 'negative electrode energy' components, suggesting internal energy redistribution rather than external input.
The patent describes a system with internal energy flows between undefined components, claiming efficiency percentages that suggest energy multiplication (120% from 60%). Without identifying any external energy source or input, this violates energy conservation by implying net energy can be created through internal redistribution alone.
Unclear/implied self-powering. The device claims to combine fiber-based thermoelectric generation (Seebeck effect) with sensing units, but suggests continuous electrical output without identifying an external energy gradient to sustain it.
The patent describes a 'fully fiber-based self-powered sensing transducer' that combines thermoelectric materials with sensors. While thermoelectric (Seebeck) generation is a real phenomenon, the claims imply continuous power output without specifying or requiring a maintained external thermal gradient to drive it. This constitutes incomplete energy accounting and suggests a violation of the first law of thermodynamics by implying a perpetual power source.
Claims to use thermoelectric (Peltier/Seebeck) elements to generate electricity from the temperature gradient between the cable and its surroundings, then use that electricity to power the temperature monitoring system.
The device claims to be a self-powered cable temperature monitor that harvests energy from the cable's heat using thermoelectric elements. This violates energy conservation and the second law because the act of harvesting energy to power the monitor will reduce the thermal gradient it needs to function, creating an unsustainable cycle. It is a classic 'energy-harvesting perpetual motion' claim.
Unclear primary energy source. Claims to use waste heat from components being cooled to generate electricity via thermoelectric units, then uses that electricity to power motors that drive the cooling mechanism.
The device claims to cool components, use their waste heat to generate electricity via thermoelectrics, and then use that electricity to power the motors that drive the cooling. This is a closed loop that violates energy conservation and the second law of thermodynamics, as it attempts to extract net work from a low-temperature heat source to power a refrigerator without a higher-temperature sink or external energy input.
Initially from external power supply, then claimed to be sustained by thermoelectric generators converting waste heat from SiC power devices back into electrical power to run the driver circuit.
The device claims to achieve 'self-powering' by using thermoelectric generators to convert waste heat from its SiC power switches into electricity to run the driver circuit. This creates a feedback loop where the output of the TEG is claimed to sustain the input, violating the first law of thermodynamics. No external energy source is identified to maintain the necessary temperature gradient against losses.
Ambient thermal gradient (temperature difference between hot and cold ends of P/N elements) converted to electrical potential via thermoelectric effect, then used to drive an eccentric rotor that allegedly enhances heat transfer through fluid/wall oscillation.
The device attempts to use a thermoelectric generator (P/N elements) powered by the heat pipe's own temperature difference to drive a mechanical oscillator that supposedly enhances heat transfer. This creates a closed energy loop that violates the First Law (energy conservation) and Second Law (cannot use heat from a gradient to do work that then increases net heat flow without additional external energy input).
Claims to use temperature difference between projectile interior/exterior (created by air friction during flight) to generate electricity via thermoelectric effect (Seebeck effect). Stored energy then used to vaporize/excite a chemical payload to produce 'shockwaves' that self-destruct the core chip.
The patent describes a system that harvests energy from aerodynamic heating to eventually vaporize a chemical payload and destroy an electronic chip. The core violation is one of scale: the electrical energy harvestable from the brief, small temperature gradient on a projectile is negligible compared to the energy required to vaporize/detonate chemicals. The claimed chain of events violates the First Law (energy conservation) by implying a massive energy gain from a tiny ambient source.
Unclear. Claims to generate electricity from 'moisture' and 'temperature difference' using a 'moisture energy conversion device' that appears to extract energy from ambient humidity/temperature gradients without an adequate external energy source to sustain the claimed output.
The patent describes a device that claims to generate electricity from ambient moisture and small temperature differences, using cascaded semiconductor elements. The description lacks any rigorous energy balance, implies energy multiplication through daisy-chaining, and appears to propose extracting net work from what is effectively an equilibrium or near-equilibrium ambient condition without a sufficient external thermodynamic gradient, violating the second law of thermodynamics.
Claims to harvest 'magnetic field energy' and 'waste heat energy' from operating power transformers to provide electrical energy back to the transformers and nearby sensors, implying energy recovery from the transformer's own operation.
The patent claims a system that harvests energy from a transformer's own magnetic field and waste heat to power the transformer and nearby devices, suggesting a net energy gain. This violates conservation of energy, as the harvested energy is part of the transformer's operational losses and cannot exceed the input power. The use of technical terms like 'thermoelectric' and 'non-invasive electromagnetic harvesting' obfuscates the fundamental thermodynamic impossibility of creating a self-powering loop from a device's own dissipative losses.
Unclear/obfuscated. The text describes a complex cascade of components (capacitors, inductors, switches) that appear to feed energy back into the system, suggesting an attempt to create a self-sustaining or energy-multiplying loop without identifying a primary external energy source.
The patent describes a device where internal components (capacitors, inductors, switches) are arranged to cyclically charge and discharge each other, implying energy can be recirculated and amplified without sufficient external input. This constitutes a classic 'perpetual motion' or 'over-unity' claim, directly violating energy conservation and the laws of thermodynamics.
Unclear/implied to be from relative sliding motion between two semiconductor layers with different doping concentrations and Fermi levels, with no external energy gradient specified.
The patent describes a DC generator that supposedly produces electricity solely from sliding contact between two similarly doped semiconductor layers. This violates energy conservation as it claims useful electrical output without identifying any external energy source to compensate for the work done against internal resistance and sliding friction, effectively describing a perpetual motion device of the first kind.
Unclear. The text describes a complex system with 'positive potential' and 'negative potential' components, 'control devices', and 'storage devices' that appear to interact to produce more energy than is input, suggesting an attempt to create a self-sustaining or over-unity system without identifying a primary external energy source.
The patent describes a system where internal components (positive/negative potential devices, control devices, storage devices) interact in a cycle, allegedly leading to sustained or amplified energy output. This constitutes a classic over-unity claim, violating both the First Law (energy cannot be created) and the Second Law (entropy must increase in a closed system). No legitimate external energy source is identified to power the claimed outputs.

This device claims to harvest vibration energy using dielectric elastomers, but its description suggests it attempts to use internal magnetic repulsion forces (conservative forces that do no net work) to enhance energy recovery, implying energy multiplication. The energy accounting is incomplete, failing to compare input vibration energy to electrical output while suggesting performance enhancements that violate conservation of energy.
Unclear. The text describes a complex system of 'components' (상기), 'energy' (방향), 'storage' (자석부), and 'conversion' (코어부) but never identifies a primary external energy input. It repeatedly claims that 'high-grade energy' (시계 방향) is converted to 'low-grade energy' (반시계 방향) and then back to high-grade in a cyclic manner, suggesting energy is being recycled or upgraded without an external source.
This patent describes a closed-loop system that claims to convert high-grade energy to low-grade energy and then regenerate the high-grade energy from the low-grade output, effectively creating a perpetual cycle of usable energy. This directly violates both the First Law (energy cannot be created) and the Second Law (entropy must increase, preventing 100% efficient recovery of degraded energy). No external energy source is identified.
Waste heat from a main engine's exhaust gas (low-grade thermal energy). The device claims to convert this waste heat to electricity using thermoelectric elements.
The device is a thermoelectric generator attempting to recover waste heat, which is a valid concept. However, the patent claims are thermodynamically incomplete because they ignore the substantial energy input required to actively cool the cold side of the generator. This cooling system is necessary to maintain the temperature gradient but consumes work, reducing or potentially exceeding the net electrical output, violating the first and second laws of thermodynamics if not properly accounted for.
Ambient noise in aircraft cabin (acoustic energy) converted to heat via thermoacoustic refrigerator, then used to power thermoelectric generator (Seebeck effect) using cabin temperature as hot source and cooled output from refrigerator as cold source.
This device claims to convert aircraft cabin noise into electricity through a two-stage process: first using noise to power a thermoacoustic refrigerator, then using the created temperature difference to generate electricity via thermoelectric effects. This violates the second law of thermodynamics because it attempts to extract net work from a single thermal reservoir (cabin air) using ambient noise as a 'free' energy source, effectively creating a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Ambient temperature difference (temperature gradient) and the latent heat of water vapor condensation. The device claims to use a temperature gradient to condense vapor, then uses the released latent heat to drive a turbine, and also uses the condensed water's potential energy.
The patent describes a system that uses ambient temperature differences to condense water vapor, then attempts to extract work both from the released latent heat and from the gravitational potential of the condensed water. This cascading extraction, without a clear external high-grade energy input to sustain the gradient and vapor supply, violates the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, constituting a perpetual motion scheme of the second kind.

The patent describes a device that allegedly generates energy through arrangements of magnetic poles, but fails to identify any external energy source. This suggests a violation of energy conservation, as it attempts to extract net work from static magnetic fields without consuming an energy gradient, which is thermodynamically impossible.
Unclear. Claims involve using 'inert gas' from a tank, heat from combustion, and thermoelectric generation from temperature differences, but the overall energy accounting is incomplete. The system appears to attempt to use waste heat recovery to generate electricity to power its own operation.
The patent describes a complex system that combusts fuel to heat a material, uses thermoelectrics to generate electricity from the temperature difference, and claims to use that electricity to power the system's gas circulation and cooling. This creates a circular energy claim where waste heat recovery is purported to fully sustain the system's operational energy needs, violating the Second Law by implying a net work output from a single heat reservoir without a sufficient cold sink.
Ambient heat (waste heat, solar energy) and electrical input to thermoacoustic engine. Claims imply conversion of waste heat into electricity with no net external energy input.
The patent describes a system combining a thermoacoustic engine, a thermoacoustic cooler, and a thermoelectric generator.

The patent describes a system where a control input generates power, which is then used to generate more power in a feedback loop, implying energy multiplication without an adequate external source. This constitutes a perpetual motion claim of the first kind, directly violating the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation).
Ambient thermal energy (via thermoelectric generator) and mechanical vibration energy (via piezoelectric generator). The device claims to harvest both simultaneously from the same structure.
The patent describes a hybrid thermoelectric-piezoelectric energy harvester but provides no complete energy balance. It implies enhanced 'energy collection effect' by stacking harvesters, which suggests the common fallacy that combining harvesters multiplies available energy rather than collecting different fractions of the same ambient energy field, risking an over-unity implication.

Ambient temperature fluctuations (≥1°C) claimed to be converted to electrical energy via pyroelectric effect in a BCZT ceramic material.
The patent claims a pyroelectric material can harvest thermal energy from ambient temperature fluctuations as small as 1°C and convert it to electricity with high efficiency. This constitutes a thermodynamic violation because extracting net work from a single thermal reservoir at ambient temperature (even with fluctuations) without a colder reservoir is impossible by the Second Law. The energy required to cyclically heat and cool the material is not accounted for, making it a classic case of incomplete energy accounting leading to an apparent over-unity device.

The device claims to be self-powered by harvesting energy from the temperature and pressure of its own oxygen generation system, requiring no external electrical input. This violates energy conservation because the harvested electricity must come from the chemical energy of the liquid oxygen, reducing the net energy available for breathing. It presents a perpetual-motion-like scheme where monitoring electronics are powered 'for free' from the system they monitor.
Unclear. Describes a multi-module thermoelectric arrangement with alternating hot/cold fluid supplies to stacked modules, but provides no primary energy source for creating/maintaining the temperature gradients.

The patent describes a combined thermoelectric and recuperated Brayton cycle system that claims to flexibly generate power. However, its description of using waste heat from the thermoelectric cold side to reheat the Brayton cycle working fluid violates the Second Law, as it implies heat transfer from a lower to a higher temperature region without sufficient external work. The system's closed-loop operation and claimed adaptive modes suggest an over-unity or perpetually mobile energy balance.

The patent describes a combustion-based thermoelectric generator but makes claims implying it can operate without a continuous external energy supply, suggesting a violation of energy conservation. The system cannot output more useful electrical energy than the chemical energy contained in the fuel input, and any claim of reduced need for external power without a clear, quantified external energy source is thermodynamically invalid.
Chemical energy from liquid fuel combustion in a burner, with claimed additional electricity generation from thermoelectric modules using the temperature gradient between combustion chamber and ambient air.
The device is fundamentally a fuel-burning heater with thermoelectric generators on the hot surface. While thermoelectric generation from waste heat is valid, the patent language implies the system can power itself and provide useful heat simultaneously from the fuel input alone, which requires rigorous energy balancing not demonstrated. The detailed mechanical specifications distract from the lack of overall energy audit, creating a high risk of implied over-unity operation.

Unclear. The patent describes a segmented thermoelectric module using different classes of clathrate compounds (e.g., Ba8(Ga,Sn)46, Ba8(Ga,Ge)46) at hot and cold sides. It implies energy conversion from heat, but the description of materials and structure suggests a claim of performance exceeding standard thermoelectric limits without identifying an additional, legitimate energy input.
The patent describes a segmented thermoelectric generator using specialized clathrate compounds. While segmented designs are legitimate for optimizing efficiency across a temperature range, the language and focus on exotic material formulas, without a clear statement of efficiency relative to the Carnot limit, strongly suggests an implied claim of performance that would violate the second law of thermodynamics if all energy inputs were properly accounted for.
Ambiguous. Claims to convert heat to electricity via electron emission (thermionic conversion) and store/reuse waste heat, but describes a bidirectional energy flow that appears to create a closed loop with net energy gain.
The patent describes a thermionic converter combined with a thermal storage system. While thermionic conversion is a real (though inefficient) process, the described bidirectional cycle—where electricity is made from heat, and later 'excess' electricity is used to recreate the heat gradient for storage—implies a closed-loop system that can recycle energy with minimal loss. This violates the Second Law, as each conversion and storage step must incur irreversible losses, preventing a net gain or perfect reuse cycle.
Unclear/ambiguous. Claims suggest energy is generated from the interaction between two unspecified 'elements' (ì1 ëì²´ and ì2 ëì²´) and a 'control unit' (ë¼ëì¤), with no identifiable external input.

Chemical energy from natural gas combustion (primary), with thermoelectric conversion of resulting heat gradient.
This is essentially a natural gas-powered thermoelectric generator disguised as a novel energy recovery device. The system burns natural gas to create heat, uses thermoelectric modules to convert some heat to electricity, but presents this as 'utilizing' pressure reduction stations while obscuring the primary fuel input and likely having net negative energy return when accounting for all inputs.

It also violates the second law by implying a perpetual or self-amplifying process from ambient moisture.
Unclear.

The device claims to generate DC electricity solely from the sliding contact of two semiconductor layers with different Fermi levels, with no identifiable external work input or energy gradient to drive sustained charge separation and current flow. This violates energy conservation, as the built-in contact potential cannot perform net work on its own, making it a thermodynamic perpetual motion scheme.
Ambient sunlight focused through Fresnel lenses onto micro solid-state thermal machines, with acoustic/Helmholtz resonator structures driven by environmental noise/wind to create oscillatory motion.
This device attempts to combine multiple energy conversion mechanisms (thermoelectric, piezoelectric, acoustic) in a way that violates thermodynamic principles by disrupting its own temperature gradients while claiming to extract work from them.

Unclear. Claims involve extracting hydrogen and oxygen from water using a 'magnetic field-water circulation energy conversion module' and 'electrode assemblies' with iron redox couples (Fe2+/3+), suggesting an electrolysis-like process. However, the description implies energy output (hydrogen and oxygen) exceeds the electrical/control input through unexplained cascading or recycling mechanisms.
The patent describes a complex, cascading system for producing hydrogen and oxygen from water that implies energy multiplication. It fails to account for all energy inputs, uses technically sounding but vague mechanisms, and suggests an output exceeding input—a clear violation of the first law of thermodynamics.

The patent describes a device that creates a vortex in air/fluid and claims to extract more energy from that vortex than is supplied to create it, implying a perpetual motion machine of the first kind. This violates energy conservation, as the vortex's energy must come from somewhere (input work, pressure gradients, etc.), and any extraction will dissipate it unless continuously replenished.
Unclear/obfuscated. Mentions 'magnetic energy', 'magnetic flux', 'magnetic field', and 'magnetic potential' being manipulated between two magnets or magnetic bodies, suggesting an attempt to extract net work from magnetic interactions without an external energy source.
The patent describes a system using interacting magnetic fields and potentials to generate energy, but fails to identify any external energy source. It implies that magnetic interactions alone can produce continuous net work, which violates the law of conservation of energy, as magnetic forces are conservative in this context and cannot provide a net energy gain without an external input.
Ambiguously described. Claims to use a 'heat-emitting light source' and sunlight, with a 'heat-photovoltaic conversion element' that transforms heat into light suitable for a solar cell. The described feedback loop suggests energy is being recycled.
The device claims to create electricity by using a solar cell's waste heat to generate light that feeds back into the same solar cell, forming an amplifying loop.

Ambient sunlight (through transparent window) and unspecified electrical input to heating element inside phase-change material. The device attempts to use temperature differences generated from solar heating and electrical heating to power thermoelectric generators.
The device describes a solar-thermal system with a phase-change material and thermoelectric generator, but Claims 8-9 introduce an electrical heating element inside the storage material. This creates a suspicious feedback loop where generated electricity could power the heater, potentially masking the true energy source and violating conservation of energy if net output claims are made.

The primary energy input appears to be the chemical potential of salinity gradients, but the claims suggest output energy exceeds this input.
The patent describes a cascaded reverse electrodialysis (RED) system that claims to produce 50 times more electrical energy than is input, which directly violates the first law of thermodynamics.

Unclear. The text describes a complex system with multiple 'energy conversion units' (애노드 전극), 'energy amplification units' (캐소드 전극), 'negative resistance elements' (저농도 용액), and 'positive resistance elements' (고농도 용액) that interact to supposedly amplify energy. No primary external energy input (electrical, chemical, thermal gradient, etc.) is clearly identified.
The patent describes a system with multiple interacting units that allegedly amplify energy, but fails to identify any primary external energy source to account for the claimed outputs.

Chemical energy from explosive material (primary), initial electrical energy from capacitor (trigger). Claims to convert chemical energy to electromagnetic energy via explosive-driven magnetic flux compression generator.
The device is essentially an explosive-driven magnetic flux compression generator, which converts chemical energy from explosives to electrical energy. While such devices physically exist, the patent description misleadingly implies high efficiency by comparing output to only the small capacitor trigger energy while ignoring the massive chemical energy input from the explosives, violating proper energy accounting.
Ambiguous. Claims to convert explosive chemical energy to electromagnetic radiation, but describes autonomous operation with piezoelectric elements for initial current and an explosive charge. No clear primary energy input for sustained operation.
The device appears to be a single-use explosive-driven RF pulse generator misrepresented as an autonomous generator. The explosive charge provides finite chemical energy, not a renewable source for continuous operation. The description uses correct physics terms (piezoelectric, capacitor, initiator) but obfuscates the fundamental limitation: it cannot operate autonomously after the explosive is detonated.
Unclear and ambiguous.

Unclear. Claims to be based on 'inverse piezoelectric principle' but provides no identifiable external energy input mechanism. Describes only control signals to piezoelectric elements.
This patent describes a piezoelectric-based actuator but fails to identify any energy source. The 'inverse piezoelectric effect' requires electrical energy input to produce mechanical deformation, but the patent only mentions control signals without specifying energy supply. This violates energy conservation as it implies mechanical work can be produced without adequate energy input.
Ambient light/heat (sunlight or surface thermal radiation) is claimed as the primary input, with electrical output to a capacitor.
The patent describes a device that allegedly converts ambient light/heat to electricity using a solid-state thermoelectric/pyroelectric composite with patterned coatings. The core violation is the claim that non-uniform illumination creates internal 'high/low energy density spaces' and 'sudden thermal gradients' that enhance conversion efficiency, which is thermodynamically impossible without a maintained temperature difference and constitutes an implied over-unity mechanism. The energy accounting is incomplete and the described physics contradicts the second law.
Unclear. Claims to use 'phase change heat storage material' as a hot end and 'heat dissipation fins' as a cold end to create a temperature difference for thermoelectric generation, which then charges batteries to power the lighter's ignition. No external energy input is described to replenish the phase change material's stored heat.
This patent describes a self-charging electric lighter that claims to generate its own ignition power using an internal heat store and thermoelectric generators.

Electrical input to compressor and cooling fan, plus waste heat from IDC room (servers) as thermal input.
The patent describes a system that claims to both cool an IDC room and generate electricity from the same waste heat, using what appears to be a modified refrigeration cycle with thermoelectric generators. The description lacks complete energy accounting, fails to specify how much electrical input is required versus generated, and implies net energy production from waste heat without addressing the thermodynamic impossibility of simultaneously achieving high cooling COP and net electricity generation from the same heat source.

The patent describes a system that claims to generate electricity by utilizing a magnetic field, but the energy flow description suggests a closed loop where output energy is used to sustain or amplify the process. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it implies creating useful work without a net external energy input or while degrading an existing finite potential. The use of complex mechanical linkages and ratios appears to obscure this fundamental flaw.

No primary energy source (battery, ambient gradient, etc.) is explicitly identified, suggesting an implied creation of energy from the applied electromagnetic field alone.
The patent claims a device where an applied high-frequency electromagnetic wave to one electrode induces a larger current in a second electrode, implying energy multiplication.

Ambient thermal fluctuations (temporal temperature variation) and electrical energy from the battery.
The system attempts to generate net electricity from temporal temperature variations using a pyroelectric or ferroelectric material, but it uses the output battery to power its own control circuit.

This system attempts to create a 'source-free' temperature difference alarm by using a thermoelectric generator's initial output to power a complex voltage-boosting circuit that supposedly runs an alarm indefinitely. This violates energy conservation because the TEG requires a maintained temperature gradient to produce continuous power, and any voltage amplification circuit would consume energy rather than create it. The patent obscures this fundamental issue with overly complex circuitry descriptions.

Ambient air (fuel vapor storage layers) + electrical ignition (electronic ignition device) + unspecified chemical energy from 'multi-catalyst' combustion. Claims to generate electricity from temperature differences created by combustion.
The device is fundamentally a combustion-based thermoelectric generator. While thermoelectric generation from a temperature gradient is valid, the patent claims high performance without quantifying the chemical fuel input, implying it can produce useful net electricity efficiently from a small package. This violates energy conservation unless the chemical energy input is properly accounted for, which it is not. The claims of high energy density and stable operation for micro-devices suggest an implicit over-unity claim.
Ambient temperature gradient (external vs. internal temperature difference). Claims to convert thermal energy directly to electricity without mechanical components.
This patent describes a device that claims to generate electricity directly from small temperature differences (≥10°C) without moving parts, using thermoelectric chips and a phase-change medium.

The patent describes a cascading system of ambient energy converters (piezoelectric, electromagnetic, thermal gradient) that claims to produce 10-500 times more output than control input, which violates energy conservation unless all ambient energy inputs are fully accounted for. The language suggests energy multiplication through stacking, a classic hallmark of over-unity claims.
Unclear. The device appears to extract 'low-temperature heat' from a 'low-temperature heat source' (1) and uses a 'temperature difference' to generate a 'temperature rise' in a 'temperature raising unit' (20) and finally a 'heating unit' (30). The description suggests energy is being multiplied or cascaded without a clear, sufficient external energy input to account for the claimed outputs.
The patent describes a device that claims to generate useful heating from a low-temperature ambient heat source through a cascading process. This violates the first and second laws of thermodynamics, as it implies creating useful energy from a single thermal reservoir without a compensating energy input or entropy increase elsewhere. The description is obfuscated with technical terms but describes a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Unclear/ambiguous. Claims to generate electricity from 'ionic wind' using 'ionic liquid' and 'PEDOT/PSS conductive materials' with apparent energy multiplication through cascading/stacking effects.
The patent describes a cascading ionic wind electricity generation system that appears to claim energy multiplication effects without proper energy accounting. It uses legitimate physics terms (ionic wind, PEDOT/PSS, ionic liquids) but implies output exceeding input through stacking, violating conservation of energy by incomplete accounting of all energy inputs.
Unclear. Claims suggest rotation is generated by changing the 'quantum properties' of a rotor via a magnetic field and a variable part, implying energy generation from the quantum state manipulation itself without an identified external energy input.
The patent describes a 'quantum motor' where changing a rotor's quantum properties via magnetic fields allegedly generates a rotation force, but it fails to identify any external energy source to account for the work output and losses. This suggests a violation of energy conservation, as it implies net work can be extracted from internal reconfiguration without an external gradient or input.
Unclear/unspecified. The patent describes a 'gravity power generation device' with components like a 'gravity power generation unit', 'rotating power generator', 'weight', 'lifting device', and 'control unit', but provides no identifiable external energy input beyond the gravitational potential energy of the weight being lifted.
The patent describes a gravity-based power generation system that cyclically lifts and drops a weight. This constitutes a classic perpetual motion scheme of the first kind, as it implicitly claims to generate net useful work from a closed gravitational cycle without identifying a sufficient external energy source to reset the system (lift the weight). It violates the conservation of energy.
Unclear/obfuscated. Claims involve 'amplifying' or 'converting' ambient temperature differences (thermal energy gradient) through multiple stages of 'amplifiers' and 'converters' to produce more output energy than the initial input.
The patent describes a multi-stage device that claims to amplify ambient thermal energy to produce useful work. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, as it attempts to extract net work from a single temperature reservoir, directly violating the second law of thermodynamics. The description uses complex, cascading components to obfuscate the lack of a legitimate external energy source.
Unclear. Claims to generate electricity from ambient temperature gradients using a complex cascade of components (energy conversion device, energy storage device, energy amplification device, energy circulation device, electricity generation device), but lacks specification of a primary external energy input. Implies energy multiplication through feedback loops.
The patent describes a complex cascade of devices claiming to generate electricity from ambient temperature gradients, but the described feedback and amplification loops suggest a closed system that would produce net energy without a sufficient external source. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it implies energy multiplication, and the second law as it claims to extract useful work from what appears to be an equilibrium or minimally graded environment without a corresponding waste heat sink.
Unclear/ambiguous. The patent describes a system with 'moisture-absorbing' and 'heat-absorbing' units (100, 200) connected to a 'moisture circulation unit' (300). It claims to generate output (moisture/heat flow) greater than the input energy applied to the units, implying energy extraction from ambient humidity and thermal gradients, but without a complete thermodynamic accounting of all energy inputs.
The patent describes a system that appears to extract and circulate moisture and heat, claiming outputs greater than the direct control inputs. This violates energy conservation by omitting the substantial ambient energy inputs (latent heat, thermal energy) required for the described phase changes and transport, creating the illusion of excess energy generation.
Unclear. Claims to generate electrical power from a 'magnetic force generator' (계자극 발생기) and 'electromagnetic induction' (직류공급) without identifying a primary energy input. Implied energy source appears to be ambient magnetic fields or self-sustaining magnetic interactions.
The patent describes a system that appears to generate electrical power using magnetic and electromagnetic components in a looped configuration with no clear external energy input. This violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it claims a net power output without consuming fuel, exploiting a thermal gradient, or using another primary energy source. It is a classic over-unity/perpetual motion claim disguised with legitimate electromagnetic terminology.
Unclear. Describes a system with 'particle generating electrodes' and 'particle absorbing electrodes' that somehow creates a 'particle flow' producing energy, but no primary energy input is identified. Appears to claim energy generation from particle interactions without an external gradient.
The patent describes a system that claims to generate electrical energy through internal particle flows between special electrodes, but fails to identify any external energy source. This constitutes a perpetual motion claim, violating the first law of thermodynamics, as it suggests creating net energy from an isolated system with no input gradient.
Unclear. The text describes a system with 'heat source', 'heat medium', 'heat exchanger', 'heat pump', and 'heat storage' that appears to circulate energy internally, suggesting a closed-loop energy multiplication scheme.
The patent describes a system where a heat exchanger, heat medium, and heat pump circulate and supposedly amplify thermal energy in a closed loop, ultimately delivering heat to a storage unit. This implies creating useful energy output (heat to storage) without an adequate external energy input, directly violating energy conservation. The description matches a classic perpetual motion scheme disguised with legitimate thermodynamic components.
Unclear. Claims suggest a 'control magnet' (부유체) receiving an initial electrical input somehow enables a 'superconducting electromagnet' (자성체) to generate electricity without an apparent continuous external energy source. The description implies energy is being extracted from magnetic fields without accounting for the energy required to maintain them.
The patent describes a device where a 'control magnet' with an initial input supposedly enables a superconducting electromagnet to generate electrical output. This constitutes a violation because it claims useful energy output without a continuous, identified source of input energy to compensate for the extracted magnetic energy and system losses, directly contradicting the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
Unclear. The text describes a system with a 500-920V input and various pumps, tanks, and fans, but the core claim is that a 900rpm input produces a 1000rpm output with additional torque/power, implying energy gain from an unspecified source.
The patent claims a system where a 900 rpm rotational input results in a 1000 rpm output with usable torque, implying more mechanical power output than input. This violates energy conservation. The description is obscured with details of support systems but fails to identify a legitimate external energy source to account for the claimed gain.
Claimed to be electrical input to three power terminals, but the described mechanism suggests conversion of electrical energy directly into mechanical work via thermal gradients created by Joule heating, with implied extraction of additional work from those gradients.
The device claims to be a micro-electro-thermal bidirectional actuator. It uses electricity to heat a beam, creating a temperature gradient, and then claims to extract mechanical work from the resulting 'unbalanced thermal expansion force.' This process attempts to get useful mechanical work out of a thermal gradient that is entirely sustained by the input electricity, violating both the First Law (energy conservation) and Second Law (Carnot limit) of thermodynamics.
Ambient heat from the cooking chamber (Tc) converted to electricity via unspecified thermoelectric/generator device. Claims self-powering operation where generated electricity powers the stove's own components.
This patent describes a stove that uses a generator to convert waste heat from its cooking chamber into electricity to power its own components, aiming for self-powered operation. This directly violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it attempts to create a net energy cycle from a single temperature gradient without an external lower-temperature sink, making it a perpetual motion machine. The control algorithms are obfuscating a thermodynamically impossible core claim of energy multiplication.
Claims to operate without external power input. Primary energy sources described are: 1) Solar energy during lunar day (via photovoltaic panels), and 2) Stored thermal energy from solar collection used to power thermoelectric modules during lunar night.
This patent describes a lunar base power system that claims to provide continuous day/night electricity without any external power input. This is a thermodynamic impossibility because using stored heat to generate electricity is a heat engine process limited by Carnot efficiency, and the continuous rejection of waste heat to the cold lunar surface would eventually equalize temperatures, stopping power generation. The claim of 'no external motive power' violates energy conservation for any sustained operation.
Ambient air (liquid air storage) with unspecified electrical/thermal inputs for heating and circulation. Claims to extract cooling, electricity, and air supply from stored liquid air using temperature differentials and multi-stream heat exchangers.
This system claims to produce cooling, electricity, and conditioned air from stored liquid air using temperature differential generators and multi-stream heat exchangers. It violates energy conservation by implying more useful outputs (cooling + electricity + air) than the input energy stored in the liquid air, and violates the second law by suggesting net electricity can be extracted while still delivering cooling.
Unclear. The system describes a complex thermal cycle with phase change materials and compressors, but the ultimate energy input appears to be electrical energy stored during a 'charging state' that is then converted back to electricity during discharge with claimed high efficiency.
This patent describes a thermal energy storage system that claims high efficiency by using phase-change materials and a Carnot-like cycle. However, it fundamentally violates the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics by implying that electrical energy can be stored as heat and then reconverted to electricity without the severe efficiency limits imposed by the Carnot cycle. The energy accounting is incomplete, ignoring necessary work inputs.
Ocean thermal gradient (surface warm water vs deep cold water) plus unspecified electrical input to adsorption systems
This system attempts to circumvent the Carnot efficiency limit for ocean thermal energy conversion by using adsorption systems, but fails to properly account for all energy inputs required to operate those systems. The claims of increased efficiency without additional energy consumption violate the first law of thermodynamics, as adsorption compression/regeneration cycles require net work input that must be subtracted from any power generation gains.
Ambient thermal energy from food (warm food relative to environment) and possibly chemical energy from food decomposition. The device claims to convert food's thermal energy into electricity to power a fan for cooling.
This device claims to cool food by converting the food's own waste heat into electricity to power a cooling fan. This violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics because it attempts to create a net cooling effect using only the temperature gradient being destroyed, with no external energy input. The electricity generated from the temperature difference is insufficient to power cooling that further increases that difference.
Ambient thermal energy (claimed) via pyroelectric effect, but described as 'self-powered' without external energy input specification
The patent describes a 'self-powered' dual-mode sensor using pyroelectric materials, but violates energy conservation by claiming continuous operation without identifying a sufficient external energy source or thermal gradient. It uses legitimate physics terms (pyroelectric effect) while making thermodynamically impossible claims about autonomous energy generation.
Claims to generate electricity from the temperature difference between the cooler's exhaust and intake pipes, then use that stored electricity to power auxiliary components, reducing external power demand.
The patent describes a cooler that uses a thermoelectric generator to harvest energy from the device's own waste temperature difference, stores it, and uses it to power auxiliary fans and dehumidifiers. This is presented as 'secondary energy utilization' reducing external power needs. However, this violates thermodynamics because the harvested energy is a parasitic loss from the primary cooling process; it cannot net-power system components without degrading cooling performance or increasing primary energy input. The claim of energy multiplication through internal recovery is physically impossible.
Claims to convert body-environment temperature difference into electrical energy via a 'flexible thermoelectric generator' to power the entire wound treatment system (electrostimulation, sensing, feedback).
The patent claims a self-powered, continuous wound treatment device that harvests energy from the minimal temperature difference between the body and environment. The proposed energy output from this small gradient is thermodynamically incapable of powering the described active electrostimulation therapy, real-time sensing, and feedback electronics, violating the Second Law by implying a closed-loop system with net energy gain.
Unclear. Claims to power remote modules via laser transmission from a merged unit, but the merged unit contains a thermoelectric cooling/heating module that appears to be powered by the remote module's thermoelectric generator, creating a circular energy flow.
The system describes a circular energy flow where a merged unit powers a remote module, but the remote module's power also supplies the merged unit. It attempts to use a Peltier cooler to create a temperature gradient to drive a thermoelectric generator, violating the second law of thermodynamics as the work required to create the gradient exceeds the electrical energy obtainable from it.
Unclear primary source. Claims to recover kinetic energy (first target), thermal energy (second target), and potential energy (third target) from conveyor belt operation, with a permanent magnet synchronous generator converting these to electricity for storage and reuse.
The patent describes a conveyor system that claims to recover kinetic, thermal, and potential energy from its own operation to power itself, implying a perpetual motion or over-unity device. It violates the first law of thermodynamics by not identifying a sufficient primary energy input and suggests energy can be harvested from the system's own inevitable losses to sustain its operation.
Ambient thermal energy (temperature gradient) and sunlight (photothermal layer) are claimed as inputs, with electrical output from thermoelectric generation and hydrogen production via electrolysis.
The device claims to use its own waste heat to generate electricity for electrolysis, creating a net energy gain from a single thermal gradient, which violates the first law of thermodynamics.

Claims to combine solar thermal collection, temperature difference power generation (thermoelectric), and phase change material heat storage to enable 24/7 seawater desalination and electricity generation, with the electricity powering the water pump.
The system describes a self-powering loop where thermoelectric modules generate electricity from stored heat to run water pumps. This violates energy conservation, as the electrical energy used for pumping is directly subtracted from the thermal energy available for desalination, making 24/7 operation without a net external energy input impossible. The claim of reduced system energy consumption is a classic case of incomplete energy accounting.
Ambient humidity gradient (claimed) - moisture interacting with functional materials (carbon nanotubes, graphene oxide, etc.) and active metals (Mg, Al, Zn, etc.) to generate electricity.
The patent describes a 'self-powered' gas sensor array that claims to harvest energy from ambient humidity to power itself indefinitely. This violates the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, as it proposes to extract net electrical work from an isothermal environmental gradient without a compensating energy source or entropy sink, effectively describing a perpetual motion machine.
Ambient temperature gradient between battery pack interior and exterior (claimed), but with implied ability to recharge the battery using the same battery's stored energy via temperature difference conversion.
The device claims to be a self-charging battery system that uses the temperature difference between the battery's interior and exterior to generate electricity, which is then used to recharge the same battery. This describes a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, as it attempts to extract net work from a single heat reservoir (the ambient gradient) to recharge its own energy store, violating both the first and second laws of thermodynamics.

The patent describes a cascading arrangement of thermodynamic components (condenser, evaporator, valve, compressor) that appear to feed energy back into the system's own input, constituting a classic perpetual motion claim. It lacks a clear external energy source and violates the first and second laws of thermodynamics by implying a closed system can produce net work or sustain itself indefinitely.
Unclear primary energy source. Claims to store energy from compressed air through multi-stage compression with heat recovery, but appears to suggest energy multiplication through cascading compression stages and thermal energy recovery systems.
This compressed air energy storage device appears to violate energy conservation by suggesting that multi-stage compression with heat recovery can create more stored energy than is input. The system lacks a clear primary energy source for the compression work and implies energy multiplication through cascading processes, which is thermodynamically impossible.
Unclear. Claims involve laser-induced nuclear fusion in a vacuum reactor with deuterium/tritium pellets, but lacks specification of primary energy input for lasers, pellet production, vacuum maintenance, or cooling systems. Suggests 'cascade-type' long-term controllable effects.
The patent describes a complex laser-driven nuclear fusion device with thermoelectric conversion but completely fails to account for the immense energy inputs required to power the lasers, maintain vacuum, produce and inject fuel pellets, and operate cooling systems. The language is highly obfuscated with technical terms, creating an impression of a breakthrough while omitting the fundamental energy balance that would determine if net power is possible, strongly suggesting a violation of energy conservation.
Unclear. Claims an initial rotational force from a starter component (3) triggers a 'self-rotation' component (2) that continues rotating and generates electricity, implying sustained motion from a single initial input.
The patent describes a mechanism where an initial torque applied to a special magnetic disk allegedly causes it to enter a state of 'self-rotation' and generate continuous electricity. This constitutes a perpetual motion claim, as it suggests net energy output from a finite initial input, violating the first law of thermodynamics. The description of 'additional torque' from internal magnetic fields does not provide a legitimate external energy source.
External electrical motor drives a flywheel initially, then claims magnetic interactions between asymmetrically magnetized rotating plates and fixed magnets generate additional motion that drives a generator.
This device attempts to use asymmetrically magnetized rotating plates interacting with fixed magnets to generate additional mechanical work beyond the initial electrical input, which violates energy conservation. The design suggests magnetic attraction/repulsion cycles could produce net energy output without an external energy source, constituting a perpetual motion scheme.
Ambient air (via temperature difference) and stored electrical energy in a battery. Claims to use a thermoelectric generator (TEG) to convert waste heat from combustion into electricity to recharge the battery.
The device is a gas water heater that claims to be self-powered. It uses a battery to start, then uses a thermoelectric generator (TEG) on the exhaust to generate electricity to recharge the battery and run the controller. This describes a closed-loop energy system where the TEG's output, which is derived from the waste heat of combustion, is claimed to sustain the system's electrical needs indefinitely. This violates energy conservation, as the TEG cannot output more useful electrical energy than is contained in the portion of fuel energy it receives as waste heat, making perpetual operation impossible.
Claimed to be a 'nuclear power source' using temperature differences, but the described system appears to be a heat engine powered by a chemical reaction module (combustion components) that generates heat. The electricity is supposedly generated by thermoelectric elements using the temperature gradient between the hot side (heated by combustion) and cold side (cooled by a heat dissipation module).
The device is fundamentally a combustion-powered thermoelectric generator. It violates thermodynamics by misrepresenting the 'temperature difference' as the energy source, while the actual energy comes from consumed fuel. The electrical output cannot exceed the chemical energy input, limited by Carnot efficiency.
Unclear. Claims suggest energy is generated from a 'control input' (제어 입력) that somehow produces more output energy through a complex cascade of components (heat source, heat sink, heat pump, etc.) without identifying any external energy reservoir or gradient.
The patent describes a cascading thermal/mechanical system with no clear external energy source, where components like a 'heat source' and 'heat pump' are claimed to interact to produce net energy output. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the first kind, directly violating energy conservation laws.
Claims to convert waste heat from a transformer into electricity using thermoelectric generators (TEGs), then use that electricity to power a dehumidifier. Implicitly suggests the system is self-powered from the transformer's waste heat.
The patent describes a system that uses thermoelectric generators to harvest waste heat from a transformer to power a dehumidifier. This constitutes a thermodynamic violation because it attempts to create a useful cooling/dehumidifying effect using only the waste heat as an energy source, effectively acting as a perpetual motion machine of the second kind. The electrical energy generated from the temperature gradient is insufficient to power the dehumidification work claimed.
Chemical energy from fuel oil burned in a combustion chamber, with claimed additional electricity generation from thermoelectric modules using the temperature difference between the combustion chamber and a water jacket.
This system claims to be self-powered for a cooking robot but fundamentally relies on fuel oil combustion as its primary energy source. The thermoelectric generation using waste heat cannot produce more energy than the fuel provides, making the 'self-powered' claim thermodynamically impossible without perpetual motion.
Unclear. Claims to use magnetic caloric material moving between chambers with opposing magnetic fields to generate heating/cooling and electricity via thermoelectric elements, but no primary energy input is specified for creating/maintaining magnetic fields or moving the material.
The device describes a magnetic caloric heat pump system but claims it can also generate and store electricity from the temperature differences it creates. This implies it can produce more useful energy (heat pumping + electricity) than the electrical energy required to power the electromagnets and move the material, which violates the first law of thermodynamics. The energy accounting is incomplete, ignoring the primary input power.
Unclear. Claims to use waste heat from power components (thermoelectric generation) and pressure differential from coolant flow (piezoelectric or similar) to generate electricity that powers the circulation pump, suggesting a self-powering or energy-recycling system.
The device claims to use thermoelectric and pressure-differential generators to harvest energy from its own cooling process and use this harvested energy to power the circulation pump. This describes a system that aims to significantly reduce or eliminate external power for cooling by recycling its own waste energy, which violates the conservation of energy and the second law of thermodynamics for a closed-loop system.
Ambient heat from a hydrogen combustion heater (burner). The device appears to be a steam engine system where hydrogen combustion provides thermal energy to boil a working fluid, generating steam to drive a turbine/generator.
The device is a hydrogen-fueled steam engine. The patent's title and claims suggest a 'self-charging' capability, which is physically impossible without an additional external energy source. The system's electrical output is fundamentally limited by, and must be less than, the chemical energy of the hydrogen fuel input, violating the implied claim of excess energy generation.
Unclear. The device appears to be a cooling apparatus for a single-cylinder oil engine, with cooling tubes, heat dissipation fins, fans, and thermoelectric cooling chips. The abstract mentions 'thermoelectric effect power generation' and 'energy conservation', suggesting it may claim to use waste heat to generate electricity to power its own cooling fans.
The patent describes a cooling device that appears to incorporate thermoelectric generators and a voltage booster, suggesting an attempt to create a self-powering cooling loop using waste heat. This violates the second law of thermodynamics, as it implies a net extraction of useful work (to run fans) from a single heat reservoir (the engine's waste heat) without a lower temperature sink, which is impossible. The energy accounting is incomplete and the claimed 'energy conservation' function is thermodynamically invalid.
Claimed to be self-sustaining using energy from the fire it's suppressing: heat from smoke is converted to electricity via thermoelectric generators to power the device's components (fan, igniter, sensors, cooler).
The device claims to be a self-sustaining fire suppression system that powers itself entirely by scavenging heat from the very fire it fights. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) because the useful work output (suppression + stored electricity) cannot exceed the thermal energy input from the fire. It also violates the second law, as the efficiency of converting that heat to electricity is fundamentally limited.
Ambient space heat (solar radiation) via Stirling engine and thermoelectric generation, with unclear external input for compressor operation.
This system attempts to combine Stirling and thermoelectric generation using space thermal gradients, but fails to account for the compressor work input required for the Stirling cycle. The claims of 'high-efficiency space heat-electric conversion' and 'energy ladder utilization' suggest output exceeding what is thermodynamically possible from the available temperature difference, violating conservation laws.
Electrical input to electrolyzer (primary), with claimed recovery of waste heat from electrolysis through a multi-stage thermodynamic conversion system.
The patent describes a multi-stage waste heat recovery system for offshore hydrogen production that claims to dramatically improve overall energy efficiency. However, its implied net energy gain violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it attempts to extract useful work from low-grade waste heat in a cascading manner without accounting for all compression and circulation losses, effectively suggesting a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Unclear. The device appears to use waste electricity from renewable sources (wind/solar) to heat sand, then claims to generate electricity from the temperature difference between hot sand (500-1000°C) and a cold reservoir (water). The process cycles back to using the generated electricity for more heating.
The described method creates a circular energy flow: it uses electricity (from renewables) to heat sand, then generates electricity from the sand's temperature difference. This implies generating more electricity from the heat than was used to create it, violating conservation of energy. The system lacks a net external energy input to sustain the high-temperature gradient against inevitable thermal losses.
Unclear. Mentions water pressure input and thermoelectric generation (Seebeck effect) from temperature differences created within the system, but no clear primary energy source is identified. The system appears to use water pressure to drive components that then create temperature gradients for electricity generation, suggesting circular energy flow.
The patent describes a smart water pump that claims to reduce output pressure while simultaneously generating electricity from internally created temperature gradients. This suggests an attempt to extract more useful energy (electricity) from the water pressure input than is thermodynamically possible, violating the first law of thermodynamics. The energy flow is circular and incomplete.
Unclear. The patent describes an apparatus that applies stored electrical energy (from a battery/capacitor bank) to an unspecified 'energy extraction source' (likely water or another fluid) via electrodes and a spark gap, claiming to generate usable work from a resulting pressure wave.
The apparatus claims to generate usable work from an 'energy extraction source' using only its own stored electrical energy, implying a net energy output greater than input. This violates energy conservation, as the pressure wave and any gas generation are effects of the electrical input, not new sources of net energy.
Ambient thermal energy (from cooling fluid) and electrical input to pump. The device attempts to use waste heat from a 'booster cylinder' (likely a piston/cylinder with internal friction) to generate electricity via thermoelectric modules, while using a cooling loop to maintain temperature gradient.
This device attempts to create a perpetual temperature gradient by using internal friction as a heat source and ambient cooling to create a temperature difference for thermoelectric generation. This violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it effectively tries to extract net work from a single thermal reservoir (the ambient environment) without a true higher-temperature external source. The electrical input to the pump is the only real energy input, and the thermoelectric output cannot exceed it.
Ambient low-concentration hydrogen gas (claimed to be extracted from air via dehumidification/processing), with chemical energy conversion via oxidation, supplemented by unspecified thermal inputs and heat recovery loops.
The system claims to extract dilute hydrogen from air and oxidize it to produce heat, then use thermoelectric conversion with high efficiency. This ignores the massive energy required to concentrate trace hydrogen, violates Carnot limits on heat-to-electricity conversion, and presents an overall energy accounting that suggests net energy gain from an ambient source without sufficient high-grade input.
Unclear. Claims to generate electrical power from temperature gradients via thermoelectric effect, but specifications suggest anomalous performance without clear external energy input accounting.
The patent describes a thermoelectric device but makes claims about specific performance parameters (Seebeck coefficient, geometry ratios) that suggest either unrealistic material properties or an implied over-unity performance by omitting the energy required to maintain the thermal gradient. The reference to an 'abnormal Nernst effect' without detailed physical mechanism is characteristic of thermodynamic obfuscation.

The device claims to generate additional electricity from exhaust steam temperature differences using thermoelectric modules, but fails to account for the energy needed to maintain the cold side temperature. The overall description suggests energy multiplication beyond thermodynamic limits through cascading energy recovery without proper entropy accounting.
Unclear. Claims involve using water clusters (H2O)6 and various materials (Teflon, ceramics, metals) to generate electricity from ambient temperature differences and humidity gradients, but no primary energy input is clearly identified. The text suggests extracting energy from ambient conditions without a sufficient thermodynamic gradient.
This patent describes a device claiming to generate electricity using water clusters and material interfaces to harness ambient energy, but it violates the second law of thermodynamics by implying net work can be extracted from a single thermal reservoir without a sufficient temperature gradient. The claims of 100% efficiency and vague energy multiplication mechanisms are hallmarks of perpetual motion schemes.
Electrical input during low-demand periods to compress and liquefy CO₂, with claimed energy recovery during expansion/cooling cycle
This system claims to use off-peak electricity to liquefy CO₂, then recover more electrical energy during the expansion/cooling phase than was input, while also providing cooling. This violates energy conservation as the expansion work cannot exceed the compression work minus losses, and the cooling effect represents additional energy output not accounted for in the input.
Unclear primary energy source. Claims to use 'electric stone sand' (电石砂) and waste sand to recover CO2 and waste heat from flue gas, then generate electricity and hydrogen via thermoelectric generation and electrolysis. No clear external energy input specified for the complete cycle.
This patent describes a complex multi-process system that claims to capture CO2 from flue gas, store its waste heat, generate electricity via thermoelectric effects, and produce hydrogen via electrolysis—all with implied net energy gain. It violates thermodynamics by not accounting for the substantial external energy required to regenerate chemical absorbents, run compressors, and overcome the inefficiencies of thermoelectric conversion and water electrolysis, effectively proposing a perpetual-motion-like machine.
Primary electrical input to motor, with claimed secondary energy recovery from waste heat via thermoelectric materials and from mechanical rotation via a simple generator.
The patent describes a motor system that attempts to recycle its own waste heat and mechanical losses back into electrical energy, storing it to temporarily power itself. This violates energy conservation because the recovered energy is always less than the losses incurred, and the overall accounting suggests a perpetual cycle. The use of correct terms like thermoelectrics obscures the fundamental thermodynamic error.
Ambient thermal gradient (Seebeck effect) combined with magnetic materials and unspecified external magnetic fields. Claims to use transverse thermoelectric effect (Nernst effect) to generate electrical potential.
This patent describes a complex thermoelectric-magnetic device claiming to maximize transverse thermoelectric energy, but fails to properly account for all energy inputs and outputs. The technical description obscures fundamental thermodynamic requirements, suggesting extraction of work from a thermal gradient without respecting Carnot limits or properly accounting for magnetic field energy inputs.
Methanol fuel (chemical energy) is the primary input, with claims of additional energy recovery from waste heat to drive secondary electricity generation and seawater desalination.
The patent describes a methanol fuel cell system that claims to use its waste heat to drive a secondary thermoelectric generator and a seawater desalination system, suggesting an overall efficiency exceeding fundamental thermodynamic limits. This violates the Second Law, as it attempts to extract additional net work from a waste heat stream without a sufficient external temperature gradient or energy input, effectively constituting a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Solar radiation (sunlight) is the only explicit external energy input. The system claims to generate additional electrical energy from thermal gradients created by its own operation (thermoelectric and thermomicrowave devices using temperature differences between lunar surface and heated components).
This system violates fundamental thermodynamics by claiming to generate additional electrical energy from temperature gradients created by its own operation, creating an energy multiplication effect. While solar input is acknowledged, the described internal energy recycling and conversion chain would inevitably lose more energy than it could possibly produce, making the overall system non-conservative.
Unclear/obfuscated. Claims to generate electricity from 'moisture' (humidity) using cascading 'semiconductor units' (semiconductor elements) and 'electric field generators' without identifying the primary energy input gradient or external work input.
The patent describes a device that allegedly generates electricity from ambient moisture using cascading semiconductor elements and electric field generators. It violates the first and second laws of thermodynamics by implying net energy extraction from what appears to be a single environmental reservoir (humid air at equilibrium) without an identified sustained gradient or external work input, and uses cascading stages that suggest energy multiplication.
Unclear. The text describes a system where two 'capacitor groups' (열전 소자) are connected and somehow generate energy from each other's 'potential difference' (복수). No primary energy input (electrical, chemical, thermal, ambient) is identified. The claim suggests energy is generated from the potential difference between the two groups themselves.
The patent describes a system where two capacitor groups interact to generate energy from their mutual potential difference, claiming an energy amplification factor greater than 1. This constitutes a closed-loop energy generation scheme with no identifiable external energy source, directly violating the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation). The vague and self-referential description is characteristic of perpetual motion claims.
Ambient thermal energy (temperature gradient) plus magnetic field energy, but claims exceed thermodynamic limits for thermoelectric conversion.
This patent describes a hybrid transverse thermoelectric device claiming anomalously high Seebeck coefficients (>5 μV/K) and performance indices (>0.1) without adequate energy accounting. The claims violate thermoelectric physics limits by suggesting energy conversion efficiencies that would exceed what's thermodynamically possible from the described temperature gradients alone.
Electrical input to heating elements and fans, plus claimed thermoelectric generation from waste heat recovery
The device claims to use thermoelectric generators to recover waste heat from the cooling process to power the cooling unit, suggesting 20-40% heat loss reduction. This violates energy conservation as thermoelectric conversion efficiency is fundamentally limited by the Carnot efficiency, and the recovered electrical energy cannot exceed the work input required to create the temperature gradient in the first place.
Ambient thermal gradient (temperature difference between steering wheel surface and biological body contact) via Seebeck effect, plus electrical energy from storage component to operate heating/cooling.
The device attempts to use a thermoelectric module both as a generator (from temperature difference) and as a heat pump (creating temperature difference) using stored energy, suggesting a cyclic energy gain. This violates conservation principles as the electrical energy needed for heating/cooling must exceed what can be harvested from the small temperature gradient, especially considering inevitable losses.
Ambient sunlight (photovoltaic effect) and waste heat recovery from photothermal conversion, with claimed synergistic energy multiplication between hydrogen production, electricity generation, and thermoelectric conversion.
The system claims to integrate photochemical, photovoltaic, and thermoelectric conversion, using waste heat from one process to drive another in a cyclic manner, suggesting synergistic energy multiplication that exceeds the total incident solar energy input. This violates the First Law (energy conservation) and the Second Law (requires a net heat rejection to a lower temperature reservoir).
Primarily solar thermal energy (absorbed by black-coated titanium plates) and ambient thermal gradients. Some electrical input likely needed for fans, pumps, and control systems, though not explicitly stated.
The device describes a circular energy system where waste heat from a thermoelectric generator is claimed to drive the main water desorption process, which itself helps create the temperature difference for the generator. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, violating the Second Law of Thermodynamics by implying net work extraction or a sustained process from a single thermal gradient without an external high-grade energy input to close the cycle.
Fuel oil combustion provides initial high-temperature heat. The system then attempts to use phase-change media to circulate heat between high-temperature and low-temperature thermoelectric generators, claiming to recover waste heat to generate additional electricity.
This system attempts to violate the second law of thermodynamics by cascading thermoelectric generators using a single heat source and a circulating phase-change medium, claiming to generate more electrical energy than is thermodynamically possible from the initial fuel input. The design implies energy multiplication through 'heat recycling' that ignores the degradation of thermal energy quality and the need for proper heat rejection at each stage.
Ambient thermal radiation gradient (claimed) - system allegedly uses a 'heat concentration device' to focus ambient thermal radiation onto thermoelectric generator hot junctions, while cold junctions are kept at lower temperature via heat dissipation components.
This system claims to generate electricity by concentrating ambient thermal radiation onto thermoelectric modules, violating the Second Law of Thermodynamics because it attempts to extract net work from an isothermal environment without maintaining a true temperature gradient against equilibrium. The 'heat concentration' process cannot create a usable temperature difference for power generation without itself consuming more energy than produced.
Ambient humidity gradient (water vapor adsorption by calcium chloride) driving lithium-ion movement in a composite aerogel material
This patent describes a humidity-driven electricity generator claiming continuous voltage/current output without any external assistance. While moisture adsorption can create temporary potentials, sustained electrical work requires either a consumption of the adsorbent material or an external energy input to regenerate gradients. The claim of persistent output without accounting for entropy increase or gradient depletion violates the second law of thermodynamics.
Ambient heat from electrolyzer sidewall waste heat (200-300°C) claimed to be converted to electricity via thermoelectric generators, with no identified primary energy input to create or maintain the temperature gradient.
The patent describes a system that uses waste heat from an electrolyzer to generate electricity via thermoelectric chips with claimed efficiencies very close to the theoretical Carnot limit. This violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics because it implies generating useful work from a single temperature reservoir (the waste heat) without a compensating energy input to maintain the temperature gradient. The energy accounting ignores the primary electrical input to the electrolyzer.
Unclear. Claims to use 'radioactive isotope heat source' (radioactive isotope thermoelectric generator - RTG principle) but describes a self-powering wireless sensor system where the management circuit powers the sensor from the boosted output of the thermoelectric device, implying a closed loop.
The patent describes a system that appears to violate energy conservation by creating a bootstrap paradox: the management circuit (which consumes power) is needed to boost the thermoelectric output, but it claims to be powered by that same boosted output. For a net positive power output to the sensor, the thermoelectric generator's raw output must exceed the total consumption of the management circuit and sensor, which is not guaranteed or addressed, making the claimed 'self-powered' operation thermodynamically suspect.
Waste heat from vehicle exhaust (thermal energy) and mechanical energy from exhaust flow to drive a turbine/compressor system.
This system claims to use exhaust flow to drive a compressor that creates a pressure and temperature separation, then uses that temperature difference in a thermoelectric generator to produce electricity while also purifying exhaust. This violates the Second Law because creating a temperature gradient from a single waste stream requires more work than can be recovered from the resulting thermoelectric conversion, and the described mechanism ignores the substantial work needed for compression and flow separation.
Ambient thermal gradient (ground-to-air temperature difference) harvested via thermoelectric generator, with claimed electrical output powering system components (fans, controllers, air conditioner).
The patent describes a communication shelter that attempts to use a thermoelectric generator to harvest waste heat from its own operation, store the electricity, and then use that stored energy to power the system's active components. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, violating energy conservation because it claims a net energy gain from a closed thermal cycle with no sufficient external temperature gradient to justify the claimed power output.
Unclear. The patent describes a system where a 'moisture absorption device' (humidity gradient) and 'nano friction generator' produce electricity, with claims of energy multiplication between components. No primary external energy input is clearly identified, suggesting it attempts to extract net work from ambient humidity and friction alone.
The patent describes a system that claims to generate electricity from ambient humidity and nano-friction, with components arranged to mutually power each other, suggesting energy multiplication. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it implies a net energy gain from ambient sources without sufficient accounting, and the second law as it attempts to extract work from a single equilibrium reservoir without a compensating entropy increase elsewhere.
Claimed to convert waste heat to electricity using a temperature gradient and selective ion transport through a 'nanomembrane' (nanomicelle membrane). However, the described process appears to be a non-equilibrium system that would require continuous external work to maintain the temperature gradient and ion separation, which is not accounted for.
The device claims to generate electricity from a temperature gradient using a special membrane to separate ions. This describes a form of heat engine. However, it fails to account for the continuous external energy required to maintain the hot and cold sides (via the mentioned heater and cooler), violating the First Law. Further, it implies a steady production of work from a static gradient without a complete cycle, violating the Second Law's requirement for a heat dump and entropy increase.
Unclear. The text describes a complex system of trenches, membranes, and pressure differences, suggesting it might attempt to extract energy from ambient thermal or concentration gradients, but no explicit primary energy input is identified. The language implies energy multiplication or creation.
The patent describes a self-contained system of membranes and trenches that supposedly generates and multiplies pressure differences to produce work, with no clear external energy source. This constitutes a classic perpetual motion claim, violating the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation) through incomplete energy accounting and technical obfuscation.
Compressed air input (from compressor) and ambient thermal energy. The system attempts to use a thermoelectric generator (TEG) to harvest electricity from the temperature difference created by the vortex tube, then use that electricity to power the control system for the compressor valve.
The device is a vortex tube heater powered by compressed air, with a thermoelectric generator harvesting energy from the created temperature difference. The patent's framing suggests a self-powered control system, but this is physically impossible as the TEG's output is a small fraction of the compressor's input energy. The system violates energy conservation by implying the control loop can be powered solely from waste energy recovery without accounting for the primary compressed air input.
Unclear. Claims suggest energy is generated from a 'heat storage body' and 'heat flow' through a cascade/feedback process without identifying a primary external energy input. Mentions Cu, Zn, Al, Be, W metals and CuZn alloys, implying possible electrochemical or thermoelectric effects, but no explicit fuel, electrical input, or thermal gradient is specified as the driving source.
The patent describes a system where a 'heat storage body' and 'heat flow' enter a cascading, self-amplifying cycle, claiming to produce a net output of 'multiple heat sources.' This constitutes a classic perpetual motion claim of the first and second kind, as it lacks an identified external energy source and proposes a positive feedback loop that creates energy from an internal equilibrium, violating both energy conservation and entropy laws.
Unclear. Claims to collect waste heat energy via thermoelectric conversion, but also incorporates piezoelectric conversion from vibrations induced by the thermoelectric module's cold side heat exchanger. No primary energy input is specified.
The patent describes a composite device that uses thermoelectric conversion (Seebeck effect) paired with piezoelectric conversion from vibrations on the cold-side heat exchanger. The core violation is the claim that the piezoelectric element both collects vibrational energy AND promotes better heat exchange, thereby increasing thermoelectric efficiency. This creates a positive feedback loop that implies energy can be extracted from the system's own internal losses without an adequate external energy source, violating the first law of thermodynamics.
Unclear primary energy source. Claims to use waste heat from magnesium powder combustion and temperature differences, but appears to rely on electrical heating elements to generate steam and multiple interconnected generators feeding each other.
This device attempts to create a self-sustaining power system using interconnected generators and heat recovery, but violates energy conservation by implying circular energy flows without a clear primary energy source. The complex mechanical linkages between multiple generators suggest an attempt to achieve perpetual motion through obfuscated feedback loops.
Claimed to be thermoelectric generators (TEGs) that power the heating element, creating a self-sustaining heating system.
The device claims a heating element can be powered by thermoelectric generators (TEGs) that harvest the temperature difference created by the heater's own waste heat. This describes a closed, self-powering loop that violates the first law (energy conservation) by creating energy from nothing and the second law by implying a perpetual heat engine. The 4V startup voltage cannot account for sustained heating output.
Ambient humidity gradient and solar thermal energy are claimed to produce both clean water and electrical energy through a composite material's hygroscopic and photocatalytic properties.
The patent claims a composite material that, using only ambient humidity and sunlight, simultaneously produces desalinated water and electrical energy. This implies a net useful work output without a sufficient, maintained thermodynamic gradient or consumable energy source, violating energy conservation. The technical description obfuscates the core energy conversion process.
Ambient thermal energy (heat/cold sources) and solar infrared radiation, but with unclear accounting of the energy required to maintain the temperature gradients.
The system describes a thermoelectric generator connected to both a 'cooling device' and a 'heating device' that are supposed to provide its own cold and hot sources. This creates a closed-loop contradiction: a heat engine cannot use its own output to maintain the temperature gradient required for its input without an external energy source, violating the second law of thermodynamics. The claims of all-weather operation and high utilization rates are hallmarks of perpetual motion schemes.
Primarily chemical energy from fuel combustion in the engine, with claimed additional energy harvesting from waste heat in lubrication oil, cooling system, and exhaust gases via thermoelectric generators.
The patent describes a system that uses thermoelectric generators to harvest waste heat from an engine's lubrication oil, cooling system, and exhaust, then uses that electricity to power the oil and cooling pumps. This creates an apparent closed loop that violates the Second Law, as it implies recycling waste heat to do useful work on the system that generated the heat, reducing the net energy input from fuel. No new external energy source is introduced to justify a net reduction in fuel consumption.
Claims to generate electrical energy from a temperature gradient between a controller's 'low-temperature zone' (water inlet) and 'high-temperature zone' (heating chip) to charge a storage module, which then powers the controller during outages.

Unclear. Claims to convert waste heat from electronic devices into electrical energy using 'magnetic cooling' and thermoelectric generators, but provides no external energy gradient or input to drive the cooling process.
The patent describes a device that allegedly absorbs waste heat from electronics using a magnetic cooling material, converts that heat to electricity via thermoelectric elements, and uses part of that electricity to run a control system, implying a net useful output. This violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it claims to produce useful work (storable electricity) from a single thermal reservoir (the device's own waste heat) without a colder sink or an external energy input to drive the magnetic cooling cycle.
Ambient thermal energy from water source heat pump system, plus electrical input to compressor and pumps. Claims imply additional electrical generation from temperature differences within the heat pump cycle itself.
This system attempts to use thermoelectric generators to recover electricity from temperature gradients within a heat pump cycle, claiming this electricity can offset the system's power consumption. This violates energy conservation because the thermoelectric extraction reduces the heat pump's efficiency, and the maximum recoverable work is fundamentally limited by the Carnot efficiency between the temperature gradients, which cannot exceed the original compressor work input.
Residual heat from nuclear reactor waste (decay heat) is claimed as the sole energy input, with thermoelectric generators (TEGs) converting the temperature difference between this waste heat and a separate cooling water tank into electricity.
The device attempts to use thermoelectric generators (TEGs) to produce electricity from the temperature difference between nuclear decay heat and a cooling water tank. However, without an external mechanism to continuously reject heat from the cooling tank to a lower-temperature environment (like the atmosphere), the cooling water will warm up, destroying the temperature gradient. This violates the Second Law by trying to extract useful work from what effectively becomes a single, warming thermal reservoir.
Ambient heat from a processor (thermal energy) is claimed to generate electrical potential via thermoelectric materials, which then powers a cooling pump to circulate coolant and dissipate that same heat.
The patent describes a cooling device that uses thermoelectric materials to convert processor waste heat into electricity to power its own coolant pump. This constitutes a thermodynamic violation because it attempts to use a system's waste heat to perform the work of removing that same heat, with no external power input and no lower-temperature reservoir distinct from the system itself, effectively claiming a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Unclear. The device appears to be a mechanical system (oscillating shaft with transmission components) that supposedly generates electricity through periodic contact and separation of electrode components (nanogenerator units). No external energy input (electrical, chemical, thermal gradient, ambient) is specified to drive the initial oscillation.
The patent describes a mechanical nanogenerator device but fails to identify the primary energy source that drives the initial oscillatory motion. The claims and abstract suggest that the sum of the electrical outputs from multiple nanogenerator units can be combined, with the intent to improve overall conversion efficiency, which implies energy multiplication from a single mechanical input—a violation of the first law of thermodynamics. Without an external power source, the described oscillatory motion would dampen and stop due to friction and electrical load.
Unclear. Claims to extract energy from wellhead natural gas pressure and temperature gradients, but describes multiple energy conversion steps (gas-phase power generation, thermoelectric generation from waste heat, hydrogen production via electrolysis) without accounting for all energy inputs and losses.
The patent describes a complex system that attempts to extract electricity, cooling, and hydrogen fuel from wellhead natural gas through multiple cascaded conversion processes. The description lacks any energy balance, implies extracting work from internally generated or waste thermal gradients without a sufficient external sink, and suggests total useful output exceeding the extractable exergy of the input gas stream, violating both the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics.
Ambient air flow and oil mist kinetic energy, with claimed thermoelectric and piezoelectric conversion from internal flows and pressure differences. However, the system appears to be a closed-loop air/oil mist circulation with no external energy gradient input beyond initial electrical power for fans.
This 'oil mist suction machine' claims to generate electricity from internal air/oil mist circulation using thermoelectric and piezoelectric elements, but describes a closed system with no external energy source to overcome inevitable losses. The device appears to violate energy conservation by suggesting net electricity can be extracted from internal flows without degrading the system's operating state.
Unclear. Describes a system with 'energy converters' (에너지 변환기), 'energy generators' (에너지 발생기), and 'work generators' (작동 발생기) that appear to feed each other in a loop, suggesting energy multiplication without an identifiable primary external input.
The patent describes a system with internal components that mutually energize each other in a loop, implying energy can be multiplied or sustained indefinitely without an external source. This directly violates the conservation of energy (First Law) and the laws of thermodynamics, classifying it as a perpetual motion scheme.
Unclear. Mentions electricity input for electrolysis (NaOH production) and possibly for CO2 capture/conversion, but claims appear to involve energy recovery/recycling that suggests net energy gain without adequate external energy source accounting.
The patent describes a complex CO2 capture and utilization system with multiple interacting units, but appears to imply energy recycling or recovery that could violate conservation laws. While individual chemical processes (electrolysis, absorption) are valid, the integrated system description suggests incomplete accounting of all energy inputs needed for the complete cycle, particularly for the calcium compound regeneration and chlorine gas processes.
Unclear. The system appears to be a complex thermal loop with a thermoelectric generator (TEG), but the description suggests it aims to use low-grade waste heat to generate electricity that may power the system's own compressor and pumps, implying a net energy gain from ambient heat.
This system attempts to violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics by using a refrigeration cycle (compressor, condenser) to concentrate ambient or low-grade waste heat to drive a thermoelectric generator, implying a net power output. The work required to run the compressor and pumps will always exceed any electrical energy generated from the resulting temperature difference, making it a thermodynamic impossibility as described.
Claims to use waste heat from car engine/exhaust via thermoelectric generators (TEGs) to power a defogging system, with statements suggesting the entire device operates without additional energy consumption.
The device attempts to create a self-sustaining cycle using car waste heat, but it fundamentally violates thermodynamics by ignoring the continuous degradation of the heat source and the inevitable losses in every conversion step (heat→electricity→fan work→heat transfer). The claims of no additional energy consumption and energy recycling are physically impossible.
Unclear primary energy source. Claims to use heat from refrigerant gas pipes converted to electricity via thermoelectric units to power indoor fans, suggesting energy recycling/regeneration.
This patent describes an air conditioning system that appears to use thermoelectric generators on refrigerant pipes to convert waste heat into electricity to power indoor fans. This violates energy conservation by implying useful work can be extracted from the system's own waste heat without accounting for the primary compressor power input, effectively suggesting a perpetual motion scheme where cooling energy is partially recycled.
Unclear. The text describes a complex system with 'moisture adsorption/desorption', 'nanoparticles', 'energy conversion', and 'moisture gradient' but fails to identify a primary energy input. It appears to claim energy generation from ambient moisture gradients without an external power source to maintain the gradient.
The patent describes a 'moisture gradient energy conversion device' using nanoparticles and adsorption/desorption cycles, but provides no clear source of energy to sustain the moisture gradient or power the adsorption process. The system appears to claim useful energy output from ambient moisture alone, which violates the second law of thermodynamics as it attempts to extract net work from a system tending toward equilibrium without an external energy source to maintain the non-equilibrium state.
Ambient air (thermal energy) and electrical input to the combustion heater and fan. The device claims to use a temperature difference generated by combustion heating of one air channel to power a thermoelectric generator, which then powers the fan that moves air through the system.
The device attempts to create a circular energy flow: a combustion heater creates a temperature difference, a thermoelectric generator converts part of that heat flow into electricity, and that electricity powers a fan to move air. This cannot be self-sustaining or produce net useful work beyond the chemical energy of the fuel, as it violates both the first and second laws of thermodynamics by ignoring the fundamental limits on heat engine efficiency and energy conservation.
Claims to use wind energy as primary input, but proposes to additionally generate electricity from waste heat recovery from bearing friction using thermoelectric effects, implying energy multiplication.
The patent describes a wind turbine that attempts to recapture waste heat from bearing friction via thermoelectric generators to produce additional electricity.

Unclear primary energy source. The system appears to be a complex interconnection of compressors, motors, valves, and a thermoelectric generator, suggesting it attempts to use waste heat from the air conditioning system to generate electricity that partially powers the system itself.
This patent describes an 'energy-saving air conditioner' that uses a thermoelectric generator to convert waste heat into electricity, which is then fed back to power motors within the same system. This creates a feedback loop that, as described, violates energy conservation by implying more useful work can be generated internally than is supplied from an external source, constituting a perpetual motion machine of the first kind.
Claimed to be electricity generated by potatoes during growth process, with no external energy input described other than ambient conditions for plant growth.
This device claims potatoes generate electricity during growth to charge batteries that power the system, creating a self-sustaining loop without accounting for the energy source.

The device claims to use a compressor's waste heat to generate electricity via thermoelectric generators while also supplying heat, implying a combined useful output exceeding the input energy. This violates the First Law of Thermodynamics. The system cannot use the same thermal gradient to perform two separate useful work outputs (electricity generation and heating) without that gradient being degraded, violating the Second Law.
Unclear. The system appears to be a complex cascade of thermal modules (heat emission, reception, transfer, storage, processing, conversion) with electrical storage and control modules, but no primary energy input is specified. The abstract suggests it 'changes the traditional phenomenon of using thermal energy to heat water temperature' but doesn't identify the source of the initial thermal energy or the electrical energy to run the control modules.
The patent describes a complex system for recovering and processing thermal energy but fails to identify any primary energy source, violating the First Law of Thermodynamics. The cascading modules suggest an attempt to perpetually recycle energy without accounting for losses, which is thermodynamically impossible. The description obfuscates the fundamental lack of an energy input.
Ambient air (via combustion chamber heating) and electrical input to fans/controls. The device appears to be a thermoelectric generator (TEG) heated by combustion, but claims to use its own electrical output to power air intake fans, suggesting a self-sustaining or amplifying loop.
The patent describes a thermoelectric generator heated by a combustion chamber, but the energy flow is unclear. It uses electrical components (fans, stabilizer) that likely require external power, yet the description omits the primary fuel source and suggests the TEG's output can enhance the system's motive power, implying a perpetual motion scheme. This violates energy conservation.
Unclear primary energy input. The system appears to be a complex arrangement of heat exchangers, compressors, expanders, and phase-change materials, but lacks specification of an external heat source or fuel input. Claims suggest it operates as a 'heat power generation system' without identifying the origin of the high-temperature heat.
This patent describes an overly complex thermal system with multiple heat exchangers, phase-change materials, and circulating fluids, but fails to identify any external energy source. The arrangement suggests an attempt to extract net work from ambient heat or create a self-sustaining cycle, which violates the second law of thermodynamics.

Ambient thermal energy (claimed) and mechanical rotation (claimed). The device appears to claim simultaneous harvesting of mechanical energy (via triboelectric effect from rotation) and thermal energy (via thermoelectric effect from an unexplained temperature gradient).
The patent describes a composite triboelectric-thermoelectric generator. Its core violation is claiming a persistent, useful temperature gradient is created passively by the shape of an insulating layer, which would allow perpetual extraction of work from ambient heat, a clear Second Law violation. The combination of two real energy harvesting methods is used to obscure this fundamental flaw.
Unclear. Claims to generate electricity through magnetic-thermal interactions with a heat source and heat sink, but no primary energy input is specified. The device appears to attempt to use magnetic forces to drive heat exchange and generate electricity via induction coils.
This device claims to be a high-efficiency 'thermal-magnetic generator' but describes a cyclic process where magnetic forces and heat exchange allegedly produce net electrical output. The design omits the essential energy inputs needed to overcome magnetic hysteresis and mechanical friction, directly violating energy conservation. The described operation suggests a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, attempting to extract work solely from a heat reservoir without a colder sink for the necessary waste heat dissipation.
Claims to convert braking heat to electricity via thermoelectric generators (TEGs) using hydrogen gas as a heat transfer medium. Implies energy recovery from braking, but system complexity suggests additional unaccounted energy inputs.
The device claims to convert braking heat directly into electricity using thermoelectric generators, but it lacks a proper cold sink, violating the Second Law. The complex system of gears, springs, and electrical components suggests hidden energy inputs are required to make it function, making it a thermodynamic perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Ambient thermal/light energy from 'heat dissipation light source' (热散射光源), but with implied circular energy flow where waste heat from electricity use is supposedly recaptured.
The device claims a 'waste heat recovery function' where a power generation unit captures thermal/light energy from a 'heat dissipation light source' to power an electricity-consuming unit. The description suggests a closed-loop system where waste energy from consumption is recaptured to fuel more consumption, violating energy conservation and the Second Law by lacking a net external energy input and a proper entropy sink.
Unclear. The device claims to harvest 'scattered thermal energy' from the environment via a thermal tube (201) and convert it to electricity via a thermoelectric converter (301). This electricity then powers the device's own movement (1) and provides 'extra' electricity for storage or use.
This device is a textbook violation of thermodynamics. It claims to power its own motion and produce extra electricity solely by harvesting low-grade ambient heat, constituting a perpetual motion machine of the second kind. The description presents a closed energy loop with no identifiable net energy input to overcome inevitable losses from friction, electrical resistance, and the fundamental limits of heat engines.
Thermal gradient (temperature difference) as primary energy source, with electrical charging circuits providing control power.
The core thermoelectric generation from a temperature difference is physically valid. However, the patent's claims of '能量自给自足' (energy self-sufficiency) and using the generated electricity to power associated heating equipment describe a closed-loop system that violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics. No circuit switching can overcome the Carnot limit for heat engines or create a perpetual power source from a single thermal reservoir.
Unclear. Claims to convert 'energy to be converted' (待转换能量) from interaction between a 'first solenoid unit' and a continuous oil pipe roller, but provides no identifiable external energy input source. Mentions electrical storage and conversion but doesn't specify the primary input.
The patent describes a system that supposedly generates 'energy to be converted' from the interaction between a solenoid and a rotating oil pipe, but fails to identify any external energy source to power the solenoid or initiate the motion. This constitutes incomplete energy accounting and suggests a violation of energy conservation, as it implies energy creation from internal component interaction alone.
Ambient humidity gradient (implied). The device appears to extract water from humid air and convert it to electrical energy via an unspecified electrochemical or electrostatic process.
The patent describes a device that generates electricity from ambient humidity. It violates core thermodynamics by implying net work can be extracted from an equilibrium humidity source without maintaining a compensating gradient (like a desiccant's chemical potential or a temperature difference), and it fails to account for the energy required to separate water from air.
Ambient waste heat from oil pump exhaust (temperature differential generator) and AC grid power. The system claims to use waste heat to generate electricity, store it in a supercapacitor, and use that to drive the oil pump motor, potentially disconnecting from AC power.
The patent describes a control system for an oil pump that uses a thermoelectric generator on the exhaust to charge a supercapacitor. It claims this stored energy can drive the pump motor, allowing it to disconnect from the AC grid. This is a thermodynamic violation because the exhaust heat is a loss from the primary pump operation; recovering energy from it cannot exceed the Carnot efficiency and cannot fully power the original pump, making the 'no AC power' claim impossible.
Unclear primary energy input. The device appears to use a thermoelectric converter to recover waste heat from the adjustable nozzle itself, claiming to convert this heat back into electrical energy to power the device.
The patent describes an adjustable nozzle for a rotating detonation engine, but its key claim of using a thermoelectric converter to recover the nozzle's own waste heat and convert it to electrical energy to power the device violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This constitutes a perpetual motion scheme where a system claims to power itself from its internal losses.
Ambient air input to combustion chamber, with claimed additional electricity generation from exhaust heat via thermoelectric generator and from electric field generation around exhaust nozzle.
This patent describes a hydrogen combustion device that attempts to generate electricity both from exhaust heat via a thermoelectric generator AND from an electric field created at the exhaust nozzle. This constitutes double-counting of energy from a single waste stream, violating conservation laws by implying more useful work can be extracted than the exhaust heat content allows, and bypassing thermodynamic limits on heat engine efficiency.
Ambient thermal gradient (temperature difference between hot and cold water pipes) via thermoelectric generator (TEG). Claims to use waste heat recovery to power the system.
The device claims to use thermoelectric generation from a water temperature difference to power its own pumps and controls, achieving 'zero energy consumption' and self-sufficiency. This violates the first law (energy conservation) because the electrical energy needed to run the pumps and valves must come from somewhere, and the TEG's output is fundamentally limited by the Carnot efficiency applied to the small temperature difference between water pipes. It attempts to create a perpetual motion machine of the first kind by using recovered waste heat to power the system that manages the heat flow.
Ambient thermal energy from heating box (7) and cooling water circulation, with electrical input to drive motor (19) and cooling system. The system attempts to use a temperature gradient between inner (12) and outer (15) pipes to generate electricity via thermoelectric elements (13).
The device is a thermoelectric generator placed between actively heated and cooled chambers. The energy required to pump heat (create the gradient) via the cooling system and heaters will always exceed or equal the electrical energy generated by the thermoelectrics, resulting in net energy loss. The patent implies continuous net power generation without accounting for this fundamental thermodynamic limit.
Ambient solar thermal energy (sunlight heating) and kinetic energy from bicycle motion (via electromagnetic induction from periodic relative motion between magnets and conductive mesh). However, the claimed 'hybrid nanogenerator' combining thermoelectric and electromagnetic effects is described in a way that suggests energy multiplication.
The patent describes a device combining thermoelectric (solar heat) and electromagnetic (bicycle motion) generation, but the language obfuscates the separate energy sources and implies synergistic 'hybrid' output that could violate conservation if interpreted as creating more energy than the sum of inputs. The claims lack rigorous accounting of all inputs versus useful electrical output.
Chemical energy from burning gas (butane/propane) in the stove burner, with claimed additional electricity generation from thermoelectric modules using the temperature difference between the burner and ambient.
The patent describes a gas stove that uses thermoelectric modules to generate electricity from the burner's heat, purportedly to power its own ignition and control circuits indefinitely. This implies a perpetual cycle where the stove's waste heat generates enough electricity to sustain its operation, violating energy conservation by creating a closed loop with no net external energy input after initial fuel ignition.
Unclear. The text describes a system using 'high-temperature heat source' and 'low-temperature heat source' to generate 'heat flow' that is somehow amplified or transferred, but no primary external energy input is specified. It appears to claim energy extraction from a temperature gradient without a clear external driver.
The patent describes a device that allegedly manipulates heat flow between temperature zones to produce useful output, but fails to identify any external energy input. The description is vague and uses physics terminology in a confusing manner, strongly suggesting an attempt to extract net work from a thermal arrangement without an external power source, which violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Unclear. Claims to generate electrical energy (voltage/current) from a humidity gradient using layered structures of hygroscopic materials and conductive plates, with no identified external energy input beyond ambient humidity.
The patent describes a device that supposedly generates electrical voltage and current (10 µV to 10 V, 10 nA to 1 A) using layered hygroscopic materials and conductive plates exposed to ambient humidity. The system lacks any identified external energy input beyond the ambient humidity gradient, attempting to extract net electrical work from an isothermal moisture-diffusion process, which violates the second law of thermodynamics. The claims follow the classic 'energy from nowhere' perpetual motion pattern by omitting the required energy input to reset the system or account for losses.
Thermal gradient between hot and cold sources applied to a thermoelectric material (Seebeck effect). However, the description implies a closed-loop thermodynamic cycle that attempts to recycle energy without accounting for all losses.
The patent attempts to reframe thermoelectric generation as a novel, ideal thermodynamic cycle, implying optimizations that could circumvent fundamental limits. While thermoelectric devices are valid (converting heat to electricity via the Seebeck effect), the described 'closed-loop thermodynamic cycle' and claims of specific efficiency gains through conceptual re-framing suggest a misunderstanding or misrepresentation of the irreversible thermodynamics governing real-world thermoelectric conversion.
Unclear. Claims involve ambient temperature gradients, electrets, and piezoelectric elements, but describes a system where electrical output is generated without a clear external energy input that accounts for the output. Suggests energy multiplication through cascading electret and piezoelectric interactions.
The patent describes a device using electrets and piezoelectric elements to generate electrical output, allegedly amplified through cascading interactions. It fails to identify a sufficient external energy source to account for the claimed output, implying energy creation from ambient conditions without a sustained gradient, which violates the first law of thermodynamics.
Ambient thermal energy harvested via phase-change materials with different transition temperatures, purportedly converted to electricity via thermoelectric generators.
The patent describes a system that claims to generate electricity indefinitely without any external energy input or maintenance by using phase-change materials at different temperatures and thermoelectric generators. This violates the second law of thermodynamics (Kelvin-Planck statement) as it attempts to extract net work from a single thermal reservoir at ambient temperature, constituting a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Ambient heat from transformer oil cooling circuit (low-grade waste heat) is claimed to be upgraded via a heat pump to produce high-temperature hot water, which then generates electricity via thermoelectric effect while still providing useful heat.
This patent describes a system that attempts to use waste heat from a transformer, upgrade it with a heat pump, then extract electricity via thermoelectric generation while still providing useful heat. The fundamental violation is that the heat pump requires work input, which must come from somewhere, and the thermoelectric generator cannot produce more electrical energy than the work input required to create the temperature gradient in the first place. The system effectively claims to get both electricity and upgraded heat from low-grade waste heat without proper accounting for the work input needed to drive the heat pump cycle.
Claims to convert waste heat from kitchen fumes (oil smoke) into electrical energy using a thermoelectric generator (Peltier device in reverse Seebeck mode) to power an ultraviolet lamp.
The patent describes a device that claims to convert low-grade waste heat from kitchen fumes into electricity to power a UV lamp, using a thermoelectric module. This violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it attempts to extract net work from a single, near-ambient temperature heat source without a colder thermal reservoir to dump entropy, making it a type of perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Unclear. Describes a system with 'primary' and 'secondary' energy converters and a 'temperature difference generator' that appears to use one energy flow to create another, suggesting energy amplification without an identified external source.
The patent describes a cascading system where one energy converter's output drives another to create a new energy gradient, implying the system can generate more useful energy than is initially supplied. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the first kind, as it violates energy conservation by not identifying a sufficient external energy source for the claimed net output.
Unclear. Claims involve 'amplification' of energy through unspecified processes, with apparent feedback loops where output energy is used to drive the same or another stage, suggesting energy multiplication without an identified primary source.
The patent describes a system with multiple stages of 'energy amplification' and feedback loops, implying that energy output can exceed controlled input without clearly identifying an external ambient energy source. This constitutes incomplete energy accounting and suggests a violation of energy conservation, as the described cascading/regenerative process appears designed to achieve a net energy gain from an unspecified or insufficient source.
Electrical input to compressor during charging mode; claims to store thermal energy via phase change materials and release it later as electricity via a turbine.
The system describes a thermal energy storage system that claims to generate electricity from stored heat via a turbine during discharge. This violates the second law of thermodynamics because any heat engine operating between two finite thermal reservoirs (the stored hot and cold phases) cannot extract useful work with efficiency greater than Carnot, and certainly cannot return more electrical energy than was originally input to create the thermal gradient.
Ambient temperature gradient (thermal energy) and pressurized gas (stored mechanical energy). The device claims to convert temperature-driven phase change pressure variations into electricity via hydraulic oil flow.
This device claims to generate electricity from ambient temperature variations using phase-change materials to create pressure differences, but it violates both the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics. It attempts to extract net work from a single temperature reservoir without completing a proper thermodynamic cycle, constituting a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Claims to convert waste heat from a compressor's exhaust into electricity using a thermoelectric generator (TEG) placed between two heat exchangers.
The device attempts to generate electricity by placing a thermoelectric generator between two heat exchangers in series on a compressor's exhaust air stream. This configuration cannot produce net useful work, as it effectively tries to create a perpetual temperature gradient from a single waste heat flow without an independent cold sink, violating the Second Law. The electrical output from the TEG must come from the compressor's input work, and the system cannot have an overall efficiency greater than a standard heat recovery system operating between the ambient and the exhaust temperature.
Ambient air temperature gradient (cold and hot air streams) used to drive a thermoelectric generator, with claimed utilization of waste cooling/heating energy from the generator's operation.
The patent describes a system that uses a temperature difference to generate electricity via a thermoelectric device and then attempts to use the cooled and heated exhaust air streams for additional cooling and heating services. This implies the total useful energy output (electricity + thermal services) can exceed the available energy from the initial temperature gradient, which violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The cooling and heating effects at the exhaust are not 'waste' energy to be recovered; they are intrinsic, coupled parts of the heat engine's operation.
Ambient vibration/kinetic energy of the mass block (either from external forces or free movement in cavity), converted via piezoelectric, triboelectric, and electromagnetic induction.
This device attempts to combine piezoelectric, triboelectric, and electromagnetic harvesting from a single moving mass, but claims to 'extend usage time' without identifying a sustainable energy source. The description suggests either perpetual motion (if no external force) or misleading accounting (if external force is required but not properly counted), violating energy conservation principles.
Unclear. The device appears to be a thermoelectric generator (TEG) using a 'composite sheet' heated by a 'heating part' containing a motor, pneumatic cylinder, and hydraulic cylinder. The primary energy input is electrical power to the heating system, with the TEG converting a portion of the resulting heat back into electricity.
The device is an electrically-heated thermoelectric generator, creating a closed loop where electrical input powers a heater to drive a TEG. This violates energy conservation for net power production, as the TEG's output is always less than the heater's input. The patent's focus on material details obscures this fundamental thermodynamic flaw.
Ambient thermal gradient (hot/cold end plates) and magnetic energy from permanent magnets. The system claims to convert heat energy to electricity via magnetohydrodynamic flow of liquid metal with magnetic nanoparticles.
The system describes a closed-loop liquid metal flow through a temperature gradient, using magnets to induce voltage via Faraday's law. However, it lacks any mechanism to maintain the temperature gradient without external energy input, effectively claiming to extract net electrical work from ambient heat—a violation of the second law of thermodynamics. The magnetic field can induce currents but cannot provide net energy; the temperature gradient would equilibrate without continuous heat pumping.
Ambient sunlight (claimed) and thermal expansion of a 'heat-conducting medium' (claimed). The device appears to use solar heating to create thermal expansion, which then mechanically drives a wind vane/fan, which in turn drives reflective mirrors to concentrate more sunlight.
The device claims a self-amplifying cycle where solar heating causes thermal expansion that drives a mechanism to better concentrate sunlight, violating energy conservation by implying net work can be extracted from a closed loop. The described positive feedback, without an external energy source exceeding the system's losses, is thermodynamically impossible.
Unclear. Claims to use 'carbon fiber tube hydrogen storage containers' as hydrogen source for micro fuel cell to generate electricity. No external energy input described for hydrogen production, compression, or system operation. Implied closed-loop system where hydrogen is somehow replenished.
This device claims to provide continuous power using hydrogen stored in carbon fiber tubes to run a fuel cell, but fails to account for the substantial energy required to produce and compress the hydrogen in the first place. The system appears to be described as self-contained with no external energy input, which would violate energy conservation if it produces net electrical output.
Unclear primary energy source. Claims to use thermoelectric generators (TEGs) between inner chamber and water tank, and a motor-generator system with magnetic coupling, suggesting attempts at self-powered operation.
The patent describes a supposedly self-powered vacuum flask. It attempts to use internal temperature differences to generate electricity, which is then used to power system components. This constitutes a closed energy loop with no clear external energy input to overcome inevitable losses, violating the first law of thermodynamics. The system's operation would inherently reduce the temperature gradient it relies on.
Ambient thermal energy (via cold/hot plates) and solar photovoltaic input, with stored energy in batteries. The device claims to use a motor-driven heat dissipation mechanism to increase the temperature difference between plates to generate more electricity.
The device claims to be a 'self-powered' drone that uses a motor to drive a heat dissipation mechanism, allegedly increasing the temperature difference across thermoelectric plates to generate more electricity. This describes a positive feedback loop where electrical energy is used to create a larger thermal gradient to produce even more electrical energy, violating the Second Law of Thermodynamics by effectively claiming a net energy multiplication within a closed system.
Ambient heat from combustion chamber (primary) and waste heat recovery from water tank walls (secondary). The device appears to be a thermoelectric generator (TEG) system that claims to use waste heat from a water heater to generate electricity while also improving heating efficiency.
The patent describes a water heater with thermoelectric generators (TEGs) on its walls to recover waste heat. The claims suggest this recovery not only improves heating efficiency but also increases total electricity generation, implying a net energy gain without identifying a sufficient external energy source beyond the initial combustion heat. This violates the first law of thermodynamics by suggesting waste heat recovery can create additional useful energy beyond what is available from the temperature gradient.
Unclear. Claims to operate without external power source ('未外接电源'), suggesting self-powered operation from internal combustion gas heat recovery, but implies continuous operation without energy input.
The device claims to be a self-checking combustion gas waste heat recovery heater that operates independently without external power, performing self-powered operation and alarm functions only when leakage occurs. This describes a system that purportedly recovers waste heat to generate electricity to power itself continuously, violating both energy conservation and the laws of thermodynamics by implying a perpetual motion machine.
Unclear. The patent describes a 'high-efficiency energy conversion device' that appears to use a 'high-efficiency energy source' to drive a 'high-efficiency energy conversion device', suggesting a self-amplifying or cascading system with no identifiable primary external energy input.
The device claims to use part of its own output to drive additional conversion stages, creating a feedback loop with no clear external energy source to overcome inevitable losses, violating energy conservation. The description suggests a perpetual motion scheme of the second kind.
Ambient thermal energy (room temperature) and external heating/cooling inputs. The system attempts to use the Curie temperature phase transition of a soft magnetic material to generate electricity from temperature cycling.
This patent describes a cyclical heat engine operating between the Curie temperature (high) and a sub-room-temperature phase transition (low). It violates thermodynamics by claiming to convert part of the auxiliary heating energy into net electrical output while using the ambient room temperature as the sole cold reservoir, effectively attempting to extract work from a single thermal reservoir.
Unclear. Claims involve extracting and amplifying energy from a 'high-frequency power source' (수배전반) and using 'high-frequency power amplification devices' to produce more output than input, suggesting energy multiplication without an identified external source.
The patent describes a device that extracts 'high-frequency power,' amplifies it, and uses feedback to generate more output power than input, constituting a perpetual motion machine of the first kind. It violates energy conservation by claiming net energy production without an identifiable external energy source, using obfuscated terminology to disguise the violation.
Ambient geothermal heat from underground caverns, plus electrical input from a 'composite power supply device' (Claim 2). The system claims to convert geothermal heat to electricity, store it, then convert it back to heat for exchange with the geothermal fluid.
The patent describes a system that attempts to extract geothermal energy, convert it to electricity, store it, and then use that electricity to re-heat the geothermal fluid in a cyclical manner. This constitutes a textbook violation of the First Law (energy conservation) and Second Law (degradation of useful energy) of thermodynamics, as it implies the creation of net useful work from a single temperature gradient without an external energy source for the internal conversion loop.
Primary: Solar radiation (photovoltaic conversion). Claimed secondary: Waste heat from PV panels converted to electricity via thermoelectric generator (TEG).
The device claims to use a thermoelectric generator (TEG) to convert waste heat from a solar panel into additional electricity. This violates the Second Law because the TEG itself requires a temperature gradient to function, and using ambient air or active cooling (which consumes energy) to create that gradient does not allow net extraction of additional work from the panel's own waste heat stream beyond what the solar input provides. The overall system efficiency cannot exceed the fundamental limit for converting the incident solar energy.
Unclear. Claims include: 1) Starter battery (conventional), 2) High-frequency switching power supply on diamond-carbon substrate, 3) 'Self-generating' device with 'easily polarized nanometer dielectric', 4) Wireless charging circuit, 5) AI/quantum controller. The device claims to operate for over a year without any external power source or charging environment.
The patent describes a mobile phone charger that claims to operate for over a year without any power source, relying on a vague 'self-generating' component. This is a direct violation of the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, as it claims to produce useful electrical energy indefinitely from an unspecified internal mechanism, constituting a perpetual motion machine of the first kind.
Ambient temperature gradient (thermoelectric generator) powers a dehumidification/cooling device that creates further cooling
This device claims to use thermoelectric generators powered by temperature differences to run a cooling/dehumidification system, creating a perpetual cooling cycle. This violates energy conservation as it attempts to extract net cooling work from ambient temperature gradients without any external energy input beyond the initial temperature difference.
Primary: Electrical input to the electric vehicle horn. Claimed secondary: Waste heat from the horn's battery is converted to electricity via thermoelectric generator (TEG) to power other components or recharge the battery.
The patent describes a vehicle horn with a thermoelectric generator (TEG) to capture waste heat from its battery. The claimed benefit of converting this waste heat to useful electricity to power the device or recharge the battery implies a net energy recovery that violates the Second Law. Any electricity generated by the TEG is fundamentally less than the waste heat loss, and cannot sustainably power the device that created the heat in the first place without an external primary energy source.
Unclear. Claims to generate electricity using 'thermoelectric elements' without requiring a temperature gradient between electrodes, suggesting energy extraction from isothermal conditions.
The patent describes a thermoelectric generation system that explicitly claims to operate without a temperature difference between its electrodes. This directly violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics and the fundamental principle of the Seebeck effect, which requires a thermal gradient to generate electricity. The system appears to be a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, extracting useful work from a single thermal reservoir.
Unclear. The device appears to claim continuous electricity generation from a 'thermoelectric conversion rod' (热电转换棒) that is heated, which then powers a bidirectional motor. No external energy input is specified beyond initial heating.
The patent describes a robotic device claiming to achieve continuous operation by using a thermoelectric element to generate electricity from heat, which then powers a motor. This constitutes a thermodynamic violation because it lacks an identified external energy source to maintain the necessary temperature gradient for the thermoelectric generator, effectively describing a self-powered system that would violate both the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
Ambient heat from combustion exhaust gases, converted via thermoelectric generators
This system describes a combustion device that uses thermoelectric generators to convert waste heat into electricity, then uses that electricity to power the combustion system components. This creates a closed-loop energy system that violates conservation laws because the thermoelectric conversion efficiency cannot exceed 100%, meaning the recovered electrical energy cannot fully power the combustion system that created the heat in the first place.
Ambient exhaust gas (waste heat) at low temperature, with electrical input to pumps and blowers implied but not explicitly accounted for.
The device claims to convert low-temperature exhaust gas heat into electricity using thermoelectric generators, but its described mechanism of 'recycling' heat to create a temperature difference violates the Second Law. It attempts to extract net work from what is effectively a single thermal reservoir, which is thermodynamically impossible, and fails to account for the significant input energy required to run its fluid circulation systems.
Claims to generate electrical energy solely from a temperature gradient between two concentric shells (first shell hotter than second), with no external energy input specified to maintain the gradient.
The patent describes a thermoelectric tube that generates electricity from a temperature gradient between two shells. However, it fails to account for the external energy required to create and maintain that gradient (heating one side and cooling the other), making the described system a perpetual motion machine that violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Unclear. Claims describe a process where a 'magnetoelectric generator' (자기전기발전기) produces electricity, which then somehow creates additional 'magnetoelectric generators' (자기전기발전체) in a cascading manner, ultimately generating more output energy than the initial electrical input. No primary energy source (e.g., chemical, thermal gradient, ambient) is clearly identified beyond the initial electrical input.
The patent describes a cascading system where an initial electrical input creates magnetoelectric generators, which then produce electricity to create more generators, ultimately yielding more energy than initially supplied. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) as no external energy source is identified to account for the net increase, constituting a perpetual motion claim of the first kind.
Claims to harvest energy from two sources: 1) The AC magnetic field from current flowing through the power equipment connector, and 2) The temperature difference between the connector and the environment via thermoelectric elements (Sb2Te3N-type and Bi2T23P-type).
The patent describes a self-powered wireless temperature sensor for power connectors, claiming to harvest energy from both the connector's magnetic field and its temperature difference with the environment. This violates the first law of thermodynamics through incomplete energy accounting, as it implies perpetual operation without detailing how the minuscule harvested power can reliably run a wireless transmitter, and it obfuscates the necessary continuous degradation of the thermal gradient required for thermoelectric generation.
Unclear. Claims to store battery waste heat as electrical energy, then convert it back to heat for the battery in cold conditions, implying a closed-loop energy multiplication cycle.
The patent describes a battery module that claims to convert battery waste heat into storable electrical energy, then use that stored energy to re-heat the battery in cold conditions, purportedly saving energy. This describes a closed-loop system that attempts to recycle waste heat to perform useful work (heating), which violates both the first and second laws of thermodynamics, as it implies a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Unclear primary energy source. Claims suggest water flow from a shower screen drives a turbine/generator, which then powers heating elements, creating a self-sustaining or amplifying loop for hot water.
The patent describes a shower system where water flow generates electricity, which is then used to heat the same water flow. This creates a positive feedback loop that, without an external primary energy source exceeding the losses, is thermodynamically impossible and violates energy conservation. The design attempts to obscure this by complex routing of water and energy flows.
Claims to use thermoelectric generation from temperature differences within the gas stove structure itself, storing electricity in capacitors/batteries to power ignition and timing functions.
The patent describes a self-powered gas stove that uses thermoelectric generation from its own flame to power its ignition system. This creates a thermodynamic impossibility: the ignition requires energy to start the flame, which is supposedly provided by the TEG, but the TEG needs the flame to create the temperature gradient. The system cannot bootstrap itself from a cold state and would violate conservation of energy if it ran continuously without an external power source.
Unclear. Claims to generate electricity from temperature difference between hot and cold working fluid channels within a thermoelectric module, while simultaneously providing cooling and heat. The primary electrical input appears to be the compressor(s), but the system claims to produce additional storable electrical energy.
This system claims to produce cooling, heating, and additional storable electricity simultaneously from a compressor-driven cycle, using internal thermoelectric modules to generate power from the system's own created temperature difference. This violates the First Law by implying net energy creation and the Second Law by attempting to exceed the combined thermodynamic limits for a heat pump and a heat engine operating on the same gradient. The energy accounting is incomplete and misleading.
Ambient thermal gradient between primary (high temperature) and secondary (low temperature) hot water networks, plus electrical/mechanical input to pumps and compressors.
The device claims to achieve 'reverse heat exchange,' cooling the primary return water below the temperature of the secondary inlet water, while using an energy extractor powered by that same temperature difference to run the system's pumps/compressors. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, violating the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it purports to use a temperature gradient to both pump heat 'uphill' (cool the primary return below the secondary source) and power the mechanism doing the pumping.
Ambient thermal gradient (thermoelectric), water flow (piezoelectric via bluff body and floating belt), and buoyancy manipulation via compressed air. Claims to be self-powered via energy harvesting from these sources to power sensors, control systems, and propulsion.
The patent describes a system that harvests small amounts of ambient energy (thermal, flow-induced vibration) and claims this energy is sufficient to power compressors for buoyancy control, propulsion, and sensors indefinitely. This constitutes a violation of energy conservation, as the work output required for the described mechanical functions would exceed the energy input from the described harvesting methods, creating an implied perpetual motion machine.
Unclear primary energy input. Appears to be a closed-loop system with thermoelectric generators (TEGs) recovering waste heat from an alkali metal thermoelectric converter (AMTEC), but no external heat source is explicitly identified beyond an initial 'reaction bed'.
The patent describes a system combining an alkali metal thermoelectric converter with thermoelectric generators to recover waste heat. However, it fails to identify a sustained external energy source, creating a circular energy flow where internally generated electricity powers system components. This violates the second law of thermodynamics, as it implies the possibility of perpetual waste heat recovery without net input.
Ambient air (oxygen) and liquid fuel (oil) are the primary chemical energy sources. Electrical input is required for the ignition mechanism and blower fan. The device attempts to use waste heat from combustion to generate additional electricity via thermoelectric modules.
The device is a combustion heater with a thermoelectric generator on the exhaust. While it may generate some electricity from waste heat, the patent's language of 'self-generating' and 'maximizing power generation' misleadingly suggests creating net energy from nothing. The system's total electrical output cannot exceed the chemical energy input from the fuel minus inevitable losses.
Unclear. Describes a system using humidity gradients and capillary action in columns with various materials (cellulose derivatives, carbon-based materials) that supposedly generates electrical energy from ambient humidity without an identifiable external energy input to sustain the gradient.
The patent describes a device that allegedly generates electricity from ambient humidity using capillary columns and desiccants. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, as it claims to produce net work solely from the thermal/chemical energy of a humid environment at uniform temperature without a compensating heat sink or external energy input to restore the gradient, violating both the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
Unclear. Claims to generate electricity from phase-change materials (ferroelectrics like BaTiO3) by applying an electric field to change their phase transition temperature WITHOUT changing the ambient temperature. This suggests energy is supposedly extracted from the material's polarization state changes alone.
The patent describes a method to generate electricity by applying an electric field to a ferroelectric material to alter its phase transition temperature and change its polarization state, claiming this occurs without external temperature change. This process fundamentally violates the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, as it attempts to extract net electrical work from a system at a single temperature by cycling an internal state, with no accounting for the energy input required to drive the cycle.
Unclear. Claims to use 'waste hydrogen and methane' from 'diamond tail gas' production, but describes a closed-loop system with thermoelectric generation, hydrogen production, and diamond synthesis that appears to recycle energy without a clear net external input.
The patent describes a circular system that appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics. It claims to generate electricity, produce hydrogen, and synthesize diamonds in a closed loop without a clear, sustained external energy source to overcome inevitable losses, suggesting a perpetual motion scheme.
Claims to harvest multiple ambient energy sources simultaneously: magnetic field energy from power cables, electric field energy, and thermal gradient energy between underground cables and soil. However, the system purports to power its own sensing/communication modules and provide surplus energy without accounting for the energy required to extract these ambient sources.
The patent describes a self-powered monitoring system claiming to harvest multiple ambient energy sources (magnetic, electric field, thermal) from underground cables. The core violation is that it implies perpetual operation by using harvested energy to power its own sensing and communication indefinitely, without accounting for the energy required to extract and condition these weak ambient sources. This creates a circular energy argument that violates conservation laws when net useful work is performed.
Unclear. The system appears to use waste heat from hydrogenation reactions, but the description suggests energy amplification through feedback loops without identifying a primary external energy source. The driving impeller (12) seems to be powered by the generator (9) it helps drive, creating circular energy claims.
This system claims to generate electricity using waste heat from hydrogenation, but its described operation involves a circular energy path where a generator powers an impeller that modifies airflow to supposedly increase heat recovery for the generator itself. This violates energy conservation and the second law of thermodynamics, as it implies a net energy gain from internal feedback without a sufficient external energy source or gradient.
The device claims to convert waste heat from circuit components into electrical energy, which is then stored. The only explicit input is the waste heat generated by the circuit's normal operation.
The patent describes a device that purportedly converts waste heat from electronics into storable electricity within a sealed enclosure. This violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it attempts to perform useful work (generating and storing electricity) from a single thermal reservoir without a compensating heat flow to a lower-temperature sink. While it uses correct terms like 'thermoelectric semiconductor,' the described configuration negates the temperature gradient required for them to function.
Ambient thermal energy (via temperature difference) plus electrical input to the heating plate and vacuum compressor. The system attempts to use electrical heating to create/maintain a temperature gradient for thermoelectric generation.
This device appears to be a thermoelectric generator test setup, but claim 6 asserts an impossible >60% energy conversion efficiency, violating the second law of thermodynamics. The system uses electrical energy to create a temperature difference, then attempts to extract work from it, resulting in a net energy loss, not gain.
Primarily from combustion chamber heat (chemical energy of fuel) with additional claimed energy harvesting from thermoelectric generation using temperature difference between hot outer wall and external airflow.
This system attempts to combine a Brayton cycle with thermoelectric generation in a way that suggests energy multiplication. The thermoelectric generator, powered by the temperature difference created by combustion, supposedly provides electricity to drive the pump that circulates the working fluid, creating a feedback loop that violates conservation of energy when considered as a closed system. While individual components are physically possible, the overall system description implies net energy output exceeding the chemical energy input from fuel.
Claims to use solar photovoltaic and thermoelectric systems, but asserts the building wall itself stores electrical energy and powers lighting systems at night without grid input, implying energy creation/storage beyond input capacity.
The patent describes a building wall with solar and thermoelectric generation that allegedly stores enough energy to power its own lighting system at night without grid input. This implies a perpetual energy cycle that violates conservation laws by ignoring storage losses, conversion inefficiencies, and the fundamental limit that total output cannot exceed total input from ambient sources.
Unclear. The text describes a system that uses ambient moisture (humidity) to generate electrical output, implying energy extraction from a humidity gradient or atmospheric moisture without an identified primary energy input to create/maintain the gradient.
The patent describes a device that appears to generate useful electrical work (for alarms/displays) from ambient atmospheric humidity alone. This violates the first and second laws of thermodynamics, as it claims to extract net energy from what is effectively a single reservoir at equilibrium without an identified external energy source to create or maintain a usable potential gradient.
Unclear. Claims simultaneous transmission of 'energy and information' via non-contact electromagnetic coupling, but no identifiable external energy input (electrical, thermal, chemical, or ambient) is specified. Mentions high-temperature coils (200°C+) but doesn't explain how that temperature is achieved or maintained.
This patent describes a device claiming to transmit both energy and information via non-contact electromagnetic coupling while achieving voltage transformation, but fails to identify any legitimate energy input source. The mention of high-temperature coils (200°C+) without an explained heat source, combined with vague claims about simultaneous energy/signal transmission through relative rotation, strongly suggests a violation of energy conservation through incomplete energy accounting.
Unclear primary energy source. System appears to use electrical input for electrolysis, then attempts to recover waste heat from that process via thermoelectric generators to produce additional electricity.
This system claims to electrolyze water using electricity, capture the waste heat from electrolysis with thermoelectric generators to produce more electricity, and potentially feed that electricity back into the system. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it suggests energy multiplication, and the second law (thermoelectric efficiency limits prevent complete waste heat recovery).
Ambient thermal gradient (temperature difference) claimed to generate electricity via thermoelectric modules, but with unclear control mechanisms and implied self-sustaining/amplifying behavior.
The patent describes a thermoelectric generator system but uses vague terms like 'high-efficiency intelligent control' without specifying energy inputs, suggesting it may implicitly claim to overcome thermodynamic limits. The focus on structural components rather than energy accounting indicates potential obfuscation of how the system actually respects conservation laws.
Claims to use solar heating (day) and radiative cooling to space (night) via thermoelectric generators, with implied passive operation.
The patent describes a device combining solar thermal and radiative cooling for 24/7 power generation, claiming operation without extra energy consumption.

Ambient heat from the fluid exiting the condenser (waste heat) is claimed to be converted to electricity via a semiconductor thermoelectric generator to power a semiconductor cooling device.
The patent describes a cooling system where waste heat from the condenser outlet is converted to electricity via a thermoelectric generator to power an additional semiconductor cooler. This violates thermodynamics because extracting net work from a single temperature gradient (condenser outlet) to create additional cooling is impossible without violating the second law. The system's claimed benefit of 'using waste heat to produce cooling' represents incomplete energy accounting of the primary refrigeration cycle's compressor work.
Unclear. Claims to use 'nuclear reaction stack system' to heat propellant for thrust and thermoelectric conversion for electricity, but no specified nuclear fuel input or external energy source identified.
The device claims to operate in dual modes (nuclear thrust and nuclear power source) using a closed-loop system with a 'nuclear reaction stack' and thermoelectric conversion, but provides no identifiable source for the initial nuclear energy or mechanism to sustain reactions. It violates energy conservation by suggesting continuous thrust and electricity generation without adequate fuel input or external energy.
Unclear. Claims to generate electricity from ambient temperature gradients using thermoelectric materials and capacitors, but describes a cyclic process where electrical energy appears to be multiplied through feedback loops without an adequate external energy source.
The patent describes a complex arrangement of thermoelectric devices, capacitors, and conductive loops that claims to generate electricity from ambient temperature differences. However, the core mechanism involves capacitors cyclically charging each other and feeding energy back into the system, which implies energy creation from nothing, a clear violation of energy conservation. The description lacks any quantitative accounting of input and output power, focusing instead on component arrangement.
Unclear. The text describes a system where a 'high energy density body' receives energy from a 'high energy source' and then transfers it to a 'high energy converter', which then produces 'high energy' that is fed back. This suggests a closed-loop energy multiplication scheme with no clear external input.
The patent describes a system where a 'high energy density body' and 'high energy converter' interact to produce 'high energy' that is circulated and amplified, with claims of extracting work from this loop. This constitutes a closed-loop energy multiplication scheme with no clear external energy source, directly violating the conservation of energy and the laws of thermodynamics.
Unclear primary energy source. Describes a system where waste heat from high-temperature energy storage batteries (≥300°C) is supposedly converted to electricity via a heat engine (supercritical CO₂ or Rankine cycle) to recharge the same batteries or power external loads.
The patent describes a system that attempts to use waste heat from a high-temperature battery to run a heat engine whose electrical output recharges the same battery. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, as it violates the second law of thermodynamics by claiming to recycle thermal energy into electrical work with insufficient accounting for the initial energy input and inevitable dissipation.
Vague and unquantified references to ambient energy: sunlight photons, geothermal energy, and quartz crystals. No clear, measurable energy input mechanism, gradient, or conversion process is described.
The device is a passive structure claiming to generate 'free energy' from ambient sources using quartz crystals and geometric shapes. It violates the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics by proposing useful energy output without a defined, quantifiable input or a thermodynamic cycle to convert diffuse ambient energy into work.
Vague and pseudoscientific claims: uses 'photons (solar light particles)', 'electricity produced in the Earth's core', and 'electrified waters of rivers'. No clear, quantifiable, or testable energy input mechanism is described.
The patent describes a device claiming to generate renewable electromagnetic energy from vague ambient sources like the Earth's core and 'electrified' rivers, using quartz crystals and geometric arrangements. It violates core physics principles by lacking a clear, quantifiable energy input and describing mechanisms that contradict conservation of energy and the laws of thermodynamics.
Solar thermal heating of surface seawater (primary), ocean thermal gradient between warm surface and cold deep water (OTEC principle), with electrical input to pumps and compressor.
This system attempts to combine OTEC power generation with desalination, cooling, and heating in a cascading arrangement that violates the first law of thermodynamics. The claimed simultaneous outputs of electricity, cooling, heating, and freshwater would collectively require more useful work than can be extracted from the ocean thermal gradient alone, creating an apparent energy multiplication effect.
Ambient humidity absorption (water vapor from air) and chemical potential differences between materials (carbon black, iron chloride solution, sponge). The device appears to be a form of galvanic/humidity cell.
The device is a chemical battery (galvanic cell) using carbon black and iron chloride, with humidity absorption acting as the electrolyte medium. It violates energy conservation by implying infinite, sustainable energy from a finite chemical reaction. The energy output is limited by the mass of the reactants, not by continuous humidity absorption.
Primary: Solar radiation (photovoltaic conversion). Secondary: Waste heat from solar panels (low-grade thermal energy). The system attempts to use this waste heat to drive a Stirling engine.
The patent describes a system that uses waste heat from solar panels to drive a Stirling engine for electricity generation and panel cleaning. This violates the second law because it attempts to extract useful work from a single temperature source (panel waste heat) without a dedicated, cooler sink, and implies a net energy gain from low-grade heat that would exceed Carnot efficiency limits.
Unclear primary energy source. The system appears to use electrical inputs (two electrolysis cells) to drive water treatment/oxidation processes, then attempts to recover waste heat from the treated water via thermoelectric generators to partially power the electrolysis cells.
The system describes an integrated oxidation/water treatment process powered by electrolysis, with thermoelectric generators recovering waste heat to power the electrolysis cells. This implies a circular energy flow that violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it suggests useful work can be extracted from low-grade waste heat to sustain a high-energy process without sufficient external input.
Ambient thermal energy from water cooling system, with electrical input to pumps and fans. The device attempts to generate electricity from temperature differences created by its own cooling system.
This 'aluminum smelting waste heat' device attempts to generate electricity by using pumps and fans to cool water, then using that cooled water to create a temperature difference across thermoelectric generators. This is a classic violation of the Second Law, as the work needed to run the cooling system will always exceed any electricity generated from the artificial temperature gradient it creates.
Unclear. Claims to generate energy from 'moisture condensation' and 'moisture energy harvesting' with feedback loops suggesting energy amplification. Mentions solar cells, thermoelectric elements, and moisture condensation devices, but describes circular energy flows where output feeds back to increase input.
The patent describes a system that harvests moisture energy and then uses that harvested energy to power devices that supposedly create more moisture or amplify the harvesting process in a circular feedback loop. This implies energy creation or amplification without a sufficient external energy source, violating the first law of thermodynamics. The claims lack a complete energy balance and suggest perpetual motion.
Ambient heat from engine exhaust and radiator waste heat, converted via thermoelectric (Seebeck) effect. Claims to use this electricity to drive a 'first thermal pump' that circulates coolant.
The patent describes a coupled system where a thermoelectric generator (second thermal circuit) uses waste heat to produce electricity, which then powers a cooling pump (first thermal circuit) that shares the same cold sink. This creates a conceptual perpetual motion machine of the second kind, as it implies using a temperature difference to create work that then enlarges the same temperature difference, violating the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Unclear. Describes a system with multiple coils and a magnetic field generator, but no explicit energy input is specified. Implied energy appears to come from magnetic field interactions alone.
The patent describes a system of coils and magnetic fields that purportedly generates or amplifies electrical energy. It lacks any description of a primary energy input, implying that energy can be extracted solely from internal magnetic interactions, which violates energy conservation laws. This is a classic perpetual motion claim.
Claims to generate electricity from urban heating pipe waste heat to power its own controller, implying self-powering operation without batteries or external power.
The patent describes a monitoring device for heating pipes that uses a thermoelectric generator to power itself from waste heat. While thermoelectric generation from a temperature gradient is physically possible, the claim of eliminating batteries and external power implies a self-sustaining operation that likely violates energy conservation unless rigorously proven. The description lacks critical efficiency and power consumption data, making it a thermodynamic violation through incomplete accounting.
Claims to be self-powered via thermoelectric generation from temperature difference between transformer oil (hot) and cooled transformer wall, with no external power input.
The device claims to be a self-powered online monitoring system for transformers, using a cooling plate to create a temperature difference to generate electricity for its sensors. This violates the first law of thermodynamics because the energy needed to run the cooling system (to create the 'hot' and 'cold' sides) is not provided, and the system cannot net-power itself from a gradient it actively consumes energy to establish.
Primarily solar thermal energy from the photovoltaic panel heating, with claimed additional energy generation from a Stirling engine driven by the same thermal gradient, and a thermoelectric module converting waste heat to electricity.
The patent describes a complex system that attempts to use waste heat from a solar panel to bootstrap a Stirling engine via a thermoelectric starter. The core violation is the claim of a self-sustaining cycle where the starter motor is disengaged, and the Stirling engine produces net electrical output while also powering the control system. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, as it implies creating net work from a single thermal reservoir (the heated panel) without a compensating heat sink, violating both energy conservation and the second law of thermodynamics.
Ambient thermal energy (claimed) - device supposedly generates electricity from paper-based thermoelectric materials without an applied temperature gradient
This patent describes a paper-based thermoelectric generator but fails to identify any energy source to create the necessary temperature gradient. Thermoelectric materials require ΔT > 0 to generate electricity via the Seebeck effect; the described preparation methods only involve drying at 50-85°C without maintaining a gradient during operation, violating the second law of thermodynamics.
Ambient thermal gradient from wastewater (waste heat) via thermoelectric generator (TEG). The system claims to use this harvested electricity to power an electrolyzer to produce hydrogen peroxide for wastewater treatment, with energy storage in between.
The claimed system violates the second law of thermodynamics. It attempts to create a self-powered treatment cycle by using low-efficiency thermoelectric generation from waste heat to produce the energy needed to clean that same waste stream. The energy harvested from the waste heat is insufficient to power the required electrolysis and overcome system losses, making the described closed-loop operation impossible without a significant external energy input.
Thermal gradient between hot fluid (input) and cold seawater (ambient). The device claims to use the hot fluid's thermal energy both for thermoelectric generation and to create a pressure-driven flow of cold seawater via a 'suction hood'.
The device attempts to use a single thermal energy input (hot fluid) to perform two separate energy-extracting tasks: generating electricity via the thermoelectric effect and, via the resulting flow and pressure difference, actively pumping cold seawater to improve the cold-side heat sink. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, as it claims enhanced performance without accounting for the work needed to drive the seawater flow, effectively claiming a net energy output greater than what the thermal gradient can theoretically provide.
Ambient low-grade waste heat (claimed) and unspecified external heat source for regeneration phase.
The device claims to absorb low-grade waste heat and release it at a higher temperature using only the passive properties of heat pipes and a phase-change material, which violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The described cycle attempts to create a net temperature lift without the required external work input for a heat pump, making it a thermodynamic perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Unclear/ambiguous. The text describes a 'thermal energy harvesting device' that appears to use its own rectified output voltage (VRECT) to somehow generate additional power for a 'thermal energy harvesting element' in a feedback loop. No external thermal gradient, ambient energy source, or fuel is clearly identified as the primary input.
The patent describes a device that appears to use its own rectified output to power a thermal energy harvesting element, suggesting a self-sustaining or amplifying loop without a clear external energy source. This violates energy conservation as it implies creating net energy from the device's own output, with no identifiable thermodynamic gradient to harvest from.

The patent describes a device that appears to be a modified heat pipe containing a thermoelectric element, claiming it generates electricity from the heat of the vapor phase. This violates the First Law (energy conservation) because it lacks a defined external energy source, and the Second Law because it implies extracting work from a heat flow without a sufficient temperature gradient to a cold sink, resembling a perpetual motion machine.
Unclear. Describes multiple camshafts with piezoelectric/electrostrictive layers and transducers arranged around cams, suggesting conversion of mechanical motion to electrical energy, but no primary energy input is specified. Implied claim that rotational motion can be sustained or amplified.
The device appears to be a mechanical arrangement of cams, piezoelectric elements, and transducers claiming to generate efficient rotational motion without specifying an energy source. This violates energy conservation as it implies creating net work from internal conversions alone, characteristic of perpetual motion claims.
Unclear. Claims to use waste heat from hydrogen combustion to generate electricity via thermoelectric generators, which then powers a fan to supply combustion air. This suggests a self-sustaining or amplifying loop.
The device claims to be an 'energy-saving' furnace that uses thermoelectric generators to convert waste heat from hydrogen combustion into electricity to power its own air supply fan. This describes a closed-loop system with no clear net external energy input, violating the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it suggests perpetual operation or amplification. The thermoelectric generator also cannot efficiently operate without a significant temperature gradient, which the patent does not adequately establish.
Primary electrical input to high-power LED chip, with claimed secondary energy harvesting from waste heat via thermoelectric generators (TEGs).
This system claims 'self-supply' by using thermoelectric generators to harvest waste heat from an LED to power auxiliary devices, including an ion wind generator meant to enhance the heat dissipation to improve the TEG's own output. This creates a circular energy flow that violates the first law (energy conservation) and the second law (heat cannot be converted to work with 100% efficiency to fully power the process that created it). The claimed operation is a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Unclear. Claims appear to describe a system where electrical energy input somehow produces more electrical energy output through unspecified interactions with 'electromagnetic waves' and 'resonance' between silver (Ag) and aluminum (Al) plates, suggesting energy multiplication without an external source.

Chemical energy from burning alcohol (ethanol) as primary heat source, with claims of self-sustaining electrical operation using thermoelectric generators (TEGs) and cooling devices.
The device claims to use engine waste heat to generate electricity that powers cooling systems and recharges batteries, eventually forming a closed loop that requires no external power. This violates energy conservation and the second law of thermodynamics, as thermoelectric generators have low efficiency (~5-10%) and cooling devices consume more power than can be recovered from the temperature gradients they create.
Unclear/implied perpetual motion. The device appears to use magnetic repulsion between two electromagnetic structures (30 and 40) with like poles facing each other, combined with a movable magnetic shield (51) to modulate the force. The initial rotation of the shaft (10) moves the first electromagnetic structure (30) via a transmission mechanism (20), which then supposedly allows the second electromagnetic structure (40) to push the first one, creating additional rotational force on the same shaft.
This device is a magnetic perpetual motion machine. It lacks a defined external energy source and describes a mechanism where motion of the shaft and a magnetic shield supposedly allows magnetic repulsion forces to add net energy to the system, violating the first law of thermodynamics (conservation of energy).

This lacks a clear, quantified external energy input, strongly suggesting a violation of energy conservation through incomplete accounting and obfuscatory technical language.
Claims to generate electricity from 'turbulent kinetic energy' of fluid flow inside the pile, but lacks specification of the energy gradient or external power source to maintain the flow.
The system claims to be self-powered by generating electricity from turbulent flow inside piles, but it fails to identify the primary energy source that creates and sustains the flow. This constitutes a 'bootstrapping' energy violation, as the electrical output used to run the system's electronics is purportedly derived from the system's own internal, unmaintained fluid motion, which is thermodynamically impossible.
Ambient high-temperature water vapor (steam) is the claimed primary energy input. The system attempts to use this steam to both: 1) drive a condensation/desalination process, and 2) generate electricity via thermoelectric generators (TEGs) using the temperature difference between the condensing steam and a cold plate.
The device attempts to extract two separate forms of useful work (desalinated water and electricity) from a single waste heat stream without recognizing that the thermoelectric generator consumes a portion of the thermal gradient, fundamentally reducing the energy available for condensation. The implied 'high-efficiency cyclic utilization' suggests a misunderstanding of how heat engines and heat transfer processes work, leading to a violation of the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
Solar radiation (sunlight) is the primary energy input, with some ambient thermal energy potentially contributing.
The patent claims a solar energy system achieving 73.71% combined efficiency by using photovoltaic cells and thermoelectric generators. This violates fundamental thermodynamic limits: photovoltaic conversion is capped at ~33%, and using waste heat for secondary power generation is a heat engine process subject to the Carnot limit, making the claimed total efficiency physically impossible.
Ambient thermal energy from cooling tube (3) is claimed to be converted to electricity via thermoelectric modules (2), while simultaneously using the heat rejection tube (1) as a high-temperature source for the same thermoelectric conversion. This creates a circular energy claim where waste heat is supposedly both the input and output.
This patent describes a tube-within-tube thermoelectric device that claims to generate electricity using its own waste heat as the energy source, creating a circular system that would violate both the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The design attempts to use a single thermal gradient for perpetual electricity generation without an external energy input to maintain that gradient.

It violates thermodynamic principles by implying energy conversion without specifying the required thermal gradient or accounting for all energy inputs, focusing instead on material properties in a technically obfuscated manner.
Ambient light (photovoltaic) and thermal radiation (thermoelectric). The device appears to claim electricity generation from both mechanisms simultaneously, but the description suggests the thermoelectric part may be attempting to extract work from a thermal gradient created by waste heat dissipation without an adequate external temperature difference.
The patent describes a hybrid photovoltaic-thermoelectric device. While hybrid systems are physically possible, the description implies the thermoelectric part generates electricity from the waste heat of the photovoltaic part without a clear, sustained temperature gradient to drive it. This suggests an attempt to extract additional work from a diminishing thermal gradient, violating the second law of thermodynamics if it claims net output beyond the initial solar input.
Ambient heat from inside and outside a heat collection pipe, with a cooling component actively lowering the internal temperature to create/maintain a temperature gradient for thermoelectric generation.
The device claims to generate electricity by using a cooler to create a temperature difference inside a pipe, then harvesting heat from both sides of that difference. This is thermodynamically impossible as a net energy source because the work required to run the cooler will always exceed the electrical energy generated by the thermoelectric modules, violating the Second Law. The patent omits the primary energy input to the cooling system.
Ambient heat from cooling medium in heat exchanger tubes (waste heat from the cooling system's operation). The system claims to use thermoelectric generators (TEGs) to convert this waste heat back into electricity to power the cooling system itself.
This patent describes a cooling system that uses thermoelectric generators to convert its own waste heat back into electricity to power itself. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, as it attempts to recycle waste heat to reduce net energy input, violating the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The maximum electricity recoverable from the waste heat is less than the original work input required to create the heat flow, making significant self-powering impossible.
Thermal gradient between human body contact and ambient environment (via heat dissipation base), converted to electricity by thermoelectric module
This device claims to use body heat via a thermoelectric generator to directly power a motor with fan, but the electrical energy obtainable from body-ambient temperature difference is orders of magnitude too small to overcome motor startup and friction losses, creating the false impression of useful work from minimal heat flow without proper energy accounting.
Ambient heat from water (cold water in, hot water out) and chemical energy from hydrogen combustion, with claimed additional electricity generation from thermoelectric modules on the combustion chamber walls.
The device claims to be self-powered by utilizing 'thermal energy and water pressure,' but its described operation—burning hydrogen for heat, running a heat pump, and generating extra electricity from thermoelectrics on the combustion chamber—constitutes a classic over-unity energy loop. The system's total electrical output cannot exceed the chemical energy input from the hydrogen plus any work input to the heat pump, violating conservation of energy.

Unclear. The device appears to claim energy generation from an unspecified 'power supply' (140) that somehow amplifies or regenerates power through a feedback loop between a 'power generation unit' (130) and a 'power input unit' (110). No primary external energy source (chemical, thermal, electrical, ambient) is clearly identified.
The patent describes a device that claims to generate power in a feedback loop where the output power is used to sustain the input, implying perpetual motion or over-unity energy generation.

This patent describes a complex hybrid system combining multi-effect distillation with pressure-retarded osmosis for simultaneous desalination and power generation. The description violates fundamental thermodynamics by implying net power can be generated without fully accounting for the substantial energy inputs required for heating, vacuum creation, and pumping.

It appears to claim energy can be transferred between components in a way that generates more useful output than the original input, suggesting energy multiplication.
The patent describes a complex thermal system that cycles energy between high and low temperature components. It fails to identify any net external energy input, implying the system can sustain itself or produce excess energy through internal transfers alone, which directly violates both the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics.
Unclear. Describes a thermoelectric module with multiple fluid passages and claims improved efficiency, but no explicit external energy source is identified. Implied temperature gradients between fluids are the apparent energy source.
The patent describes a complex arrangement of thermoelectric elements and fluid channels but fails to account for the fundamental thermodynamic limits governing all heat-to-electricity conversion. The claims of improved efficiency and compactness suggest, but do not explicitly state, an output greater than what is thermodynamically possible from the given temperature gradients, indicating a probable violation of the second law.
Unclear. The device appears to be a two-plate system (plates 1 and 2) placed in a 'magnetic field'. It claims to generate 'electrical energy' from the interaction between 'electromagnetic waves' and 'electrostatic waves' within this field, with no identified external power input other than the ambient magnetic field.
The patent describes a device that purportedly generates electrical energy solely from the interaction of two plates within a magnetic field, with no external energy input or thermodynamic gradient. This constitutes a clear violation of the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation), as it claims to produce useful work from a system in equilibrium with no identifiable energy source.
Unclear. Claims involve thermal energy changes in an accumulator material and electrical energy input to a support material, but no complete energy accounting. Suggests thermal energy changes can generate torque without sufficient input energy explanation.
This accumulator device claims to generate torque through thermal expansion/contraction of materials, with electrical heating of support structures. The description lacks complete energy accounting, suggests thermal energy changes can produce continuous rotational work without adequate heat rejection, and uses vague technical language that obscures thermodynamic violations.
Unclear. Claims to convert permanent magnet motion energy into electrical energy using AC current in a conductor, but lacks identifiable external energy input. Appears to attempt extraction of work from magnetic fields without consuming an energy gradient.
The device describes a system where an AC current creates a magnetic field that causes a permanent magnet to move, and this motion is then converted back to electricity. This constitutes a closed-loop energy conversion with no net external input, violating the first law of thermodynamics. The described mechanism attempts to extract net work from magnetic fields without consuming an energy gradient.
Claimed to be seawater electrolysis (zinc-water battery) with unspecified energy input for electrolysis. The description suggests the battery powers an 'energy-saving lamp' and USB port, implying net energy output from a chemical reaction without accounting for energy needed to regenerate reactants.
The device is described as a zinc-seawater battery powering a lamp and USB port. This is a finite primary battery, not a perpetual energy source. The claims violate energy conservation by implying continuous useful work without accounting for the energy required to regenerate the zinc anode or explaining any external energy input to sustain the reaction.
Unclear. Claims suggest conversion of 'low temperature energy' to 'high temperature energy' and 'low voltage energy' to 'high voltage energy' through unspecified processes involving 'energy conversion modules' and 'energy transfer circuits', implying energy amplification without an identifiable external source.
The patent describes a system that purportedly converts low-temperature/voltage energy to high-temperature/voltage energy. It fails to identify any external energy source to drive this 'up-conversion,' implicitly suggesting a violation of the first law (energy conservation) and the second law (increasing energy quality without work input). The use of technical terms like 'energy conversion modules' and 'LPF' (likely Low-Pass Filter) obfuscates the core thermodynamic impossibility.
Claimed to be magnetic propulsion without fuel combustion, but electrical input from battery pack (1) is explicitly stated as the initial energy source. No other energy inputs are identified.
The device is an electric motor powered by a battery pack, but the description implies it can operate without consuming fuel or significant electrical input, which violates energy conservation. The magnetic interactions described cannot produce net work without an external energy source to overcome losses and maintain the magnetic gradients.
Unclear. The device appears to be a complex assembly combining a combustion chamber (燃烧缸), heat collection systems, a generator, and magnetic components. The abstract suggests it uses 'heat energy' but doesn't specify the primary fuel input. The description of 'wet gas' (沼气) and intake/exhaust systems implies an internal combustion process, but the claimed benefits suggest it outputs more energy than it consumes.
The patent describes a complex 'wet gas generator' that combines combustion, heat recovery, and magnetic elements. Its claims of increasing efficiency and utilizing heat energy to produce electricity imply an over-unity device that violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) and the second law (Carnot limit for heat engines). The design appears to be an obfuscated perpetual motion machine.
Sunlight (solar cells) and claimed thermal gradient between sun-facing collector and lunar environment cold sink
The device attempts to combine photovoltaic and thermoelectric generation using reflected sunlight, but the thermal energy for the thermoelectric part is not an independent input—it's a loss from the same sunlight. The claim of higher combined efficiency without a clear second independent energy source or a maintained significant temperature gradient suggests a misunderstanding of energy conservation, as total output cannot exceed total solar input.
Unclear/unspecified. The patent describes a layered structure with thermoelectric materials and a heating/pressurization process, but does not identify any external energy input beyond the heating itself. Implies energy generation from internal structural changes.
This patent describes a thermoelectric device manufacturing method but fails to identify any energy source for the claimed electrical output beyond internal structural changes from heating/pressurization. The description is technically obfuscated and implies energy generation from equilibrium processes, violating conservation of energy.
Unclear primary energy input. System appears to use semiconductor cooling (Peltier) powered by electricity from thermoelectric generators that harvest waste heat from the cooling process itself, creating a circular energy flow.
This system attempts to create a self-sustaining cooling loop where waste heat from the cooling process is converted to electricity via thermoelectric generators to power the coolers. This violates both energy conservation and the second law of thermodynamics, as it effectively claims to extract net cooling work from a single thermal reservoir without external energy input.
Ambient thermal energy (via thermoelectric generators) and ambient vibration energy (via piezoelectric generators). Claims to combine these for 'multi-energy complementarity' and 'self-supply'.
The patent describes a device combining thermoelectric and piezoelectric harvesters. While each harvester individually can extract small amounts of energy from ambient gradients, the claim of 'self-supply' and 'multi-energy complementarity' suggests an over-unity or perpetual motion outcome by obscuring the need for continuous external gradients. The proposed configuration cannot create a sustainable net power output without an external source to maintain the thermal and mechanical gradients it harvests.
Unclear/ambiguous. The text describes a system with 'energy conversion elements' and 'power conversion elements' that appear to exchange energy between two circuits or units. No primary external energy source (electrical, chemical, thermal gradient, etc.) is explicitly identified. The description suggests energy is somehow circulated or reciprocated between components to generate a net output.
This patent claim describes a system where internal components cyclically energize each other to produce net power output. It violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it lacks an identifiable external energy source and describes a closed-loop energy exchange that purportedly yields a net gain. The complex switching description obfuscates the fundamental physics violation.
Primarily electrical grid input, with claims of storing 'high-grade thermal energy' from electrical heating during low-demand periods, then later converting it back to electricity via a thermal power generation system.
The system is essentially an electrical resistance heater connected to a thermal store and a heat engine (steam turbine). Converting electricity to heat and back to electricity is inherently lossy, bound by the Carnot limit. The claim that it provides efficient, distributed power generation from stored heat violates the second law, as the net electrical output cannot exceed the original grid input, and will in reality be significantly less.
Primary claimed source is garbage incineration heat. System attempts to extract additional energy from waste heat via thermoelectric generators and from chimney draft via wind turbines.
This system attempts to generate electricity from garbage incineration through three cascaded methods: steam turbine, thermoelectric generator, and chimney wind turbine. The design implies energy can be extracted multiple times from the same thermal energy stream, violating conservation of energy. The chimney wind turbine would actually consume part of the draft energy needed for combustion, reducing overall efficiency rather than adding to it.
Unclear/ambiguous. The text describes a cascade of energy transfers between 'energy layers' (부하축), 'condensation layers' (연결축), 'evaporation layers' (연동축), and 'output layers' (구동축), suggesting energy is somehow amplified through this cascade without an identifiable external input beyond an initial 'energy layer's potential'.
The patent describes an energy cascade system where energy is purportedly amplified through sequential transfers between internal layers, ultimately producing a net 'output energy' greater than any identified input. This constitutes a clear violation of the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it describes a closed-loop energy multiplication process with no external energy source to account for the net output.
Unclear/obfuscated. Claims involve 'hydrogen water' and 'deuterium water' with unspecified concentrations (3.0wt% and 0.1wt%) interacting to produce energy, implying energy extraction from water itself or nuclear reactions without a clear, legitimate external source.
The patent describes a system using mixtures of hydrogen water and deuterium water that allegedly interact to produce useful energy. It fails to identify any legitimate external energy source, implies energy creation from water itself, and relies on unverified nuclear-like processes, constituting a clear violation of energy conservation and thermodynamic principles.
Unclear. The claim describes a 'moisture-absorbing device' that uses absorbed moisture to generate electricity, implying energy is extracted from ambient humidity gradients. However, the description suggests a cascading/stacking process where the output of one unit powers another to generate more electricity, with no identified primary external energy input.
The device claims to generate electricity by absorbing moisture and then uses that electricity to power a process that generates more electricity in a cascading fashion, constituting a perpetual motion machine of the second kind. It violates energy conservation and the second law of thermodynamics by implying net energy can be extracted from an ambient, equilibrium-like humidity gradient without a corresponding high-temperature reservoir or work input.
Ambient thermal energy (via thermoelectric generator) and electrical input to the processor. The system attempts to use processor waste heat to create a temperature gradient across a TEG, then uses the TEG's electrical output to power a cooling fan.
This patent describes a computer cooling device that uses processor waste heat to generate electricity via a thermoelectric generator (TEG) to power its own cooling fan. This constitutes a closed-loop energy recovery system that claims to be 'self-powered' and highly efficient, but it violates the first and second laws of thermodynamics by implying net work can be extracted from a single heat reservoir (the processor's waste heat relative to ambient) to power its own operation.
Unclear. Claims to convert mechanical motion of pistons directly to electricity with 'higher energy conversion rate', mentions using high-temperature exhaust gas to preheat intake air, but lacks specification of primary energy input. Mentions external power source for electromagnets, suggesting electrical input is required.
The device describes a complex assembly of micro free-piston engines, combustion chambers, hydraulic systems, and thermoelectric generators, but fails to identify a net energy input. It implies the mechanical motion of pistons can be directly converted to generate electricity, which would create energy from nothing if no external fuel or input is specified, violating the First Law of Thermodynamics.
Ambient thermal energy from the furnace (heat) and electrical input to the blower (fan). The system attempts to use a thermoelectric generator (TEG) to convert a portion of the furnace's waste heat into electricity to power the blower.
The system claims to be self-powered by using a thermoelectric generator on a furnace to power a blower that cools the generator, creating a larger temperature difference for more power. This describes a positive feedback loop that violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it implies the creation of useful work from a single heat reservoir (the furnace) with no net external input. The energy accounting is incomplete and the proposed mechanism is thermodynamically impossible.
Primary: Electrical input to heat-generating component (e.g., CPU). Secondary: Attempts to convert waste heat back to electricity via thermoelectric generator (TEG) using a temperature gradient between two heat-conducting plates.
The patent describes a device that uses its own waste heat to generate electricity via a thermoelectric module, then claims this leads to 'circular utilization' and improved energy efficiency. This constitutes a violation because it implicitly suggests a perpetual or over-unity cycle: the electrical output from the TEG cannot exceed the electrical input needed to create the heat that drives the TEG, minus inevitable losses. The system cannot power itself from its own waste heat.
Ambient thermal gradient (temperature difference between hot and cold ends) is the claimed primary input, with waste heat from the cooling module purportedly being recycled.
The patent describes a system that uses a temperature difference to generate electricity, which then powers a thermoelectric cooler, and claims to recycle the waste heat from the cooler for further conversion/storage. This creates a circular energy flow that obscures the necessary net energy input and heat rejection required by the laws of thermodynamics, making its claimed performance impossible.
Ambient environmental heat and human body heat (thermal gradients). The device claims to use the temperature difference between environmental heat and human body heat to generate electricity via thermoelectric modules.
The invention claims to generate electricity by using the temperature difference between ambient environmental heat and human body heat. This is thermodynamically impossible as a net power source because it attempts to extract work from what is effectively a single thermal reservoir at near-room temperature, violating the Kelvin-Planck statement of the Second Law. Any small initial gradient would be quickly depleted, requiring more energy to maintain than it could produce.
Ambient heat from flue gas waste heat (low-grade thermal energy). The device appears to be a thermoelectric generator (TEG) system placed on a flue to convert a temperature difference into electricity.
The patent describes a thermoelectric waste heat recovery system. Its core violation is claiming 'no additional energy consumption' while ignoring the energy required to reject heat and maintain the necessary temperature gradient across the thermoelectric generator. This constitutes incomplete energy accounting, making the performance claims thermodynamically suspect.
Unclear. Claims to convert mechanical energy (stretching/compression) to electrical energy via piezoelectric materials arranged in a circular structure, but lacks specification of an external mechanical energy input source.
The patent describes a circular piezoelectric structure but fails to identify the source of mechanical energy required for its operation. It presents as a self-contained energy conversion device, implying energy generation from the structure itself rather than transduction of an external input, which violates energy conservation. The description uses correct physics terms (piezoelectric, energy conversion) in a context that suggests a perpetual motion scheme.
Electrical input to LED chip (from driver power source) → LED converts electrical energy to light + waste heat → Thermoelectric generator (TEG) attempts to convert waste heat back to electricity → Electricity stored in capacitor.
This device attempts to use a thermoelectric generator to convert LED waste heat back into electricity. However, without a true external cold reservoir, this creates a closed-loop energy recovery system that violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The claimed energy savings represent a textbook case of incomplete energy accounting where waste heat recycling is presented as net energy gain.
Claims to use waste heat from gas combustion to generate electricity via thermoelectric modules, then use that electricity to power the stove's control system and valves, creating a self-powered system.
The patent describes a gas stove that uses thermoelectric generators to convert waste heat into electricity to power its own control system. This violates the first law of thermodynamics because the electrical energy is merely a small, converted portion of the gas's chemical energy, not a new source. The system cannot be truly 'self-powered' and grid-independent, as the control electronics consume energy that must ultimately come from and reduce the useful heat output of the primary gas combustion.
Unclear. Claims to convert waste heat from a power supply device into electricity using thermoelectric modules (TEGs), but lacks specification of the primary heat source or input energy to the power supply. Implies energy recycling from its own waste heat.
The device claims to use thermoelectric modules to convert waste heat from a power supply back into electricity for its own use, aiming for 'energy saving and environmental protection'. This describes a closed-loop energy recovery system that, without an external primary energy source, violates the First Law (energy conservation) by implying creation of energy, and the Second Law by attempting to extract net work from a uniform waste heat reservoir.
Unclear. The system claims to use a 'thermal energy generator' (9) in the flue gas stream to generate electricity that powers the desulfurization device (2), suggesting a self-powering or energy-recycling loop.
The patent describes a flue gas desulfurization system that attempts to power itself by placing a thermal electricity generator in the gas stream. This violates energy conservation because the generator extracts energy from the gas, which itself requires energy to move through the system via pumps and fans. The net result cannot be a self-powered device without an external primary energy source.
Ambient noise (acoustic energy) collected by a microphone/transducer, converted to small electrical signals via piezoelectric or electromagnetic means.
The system claims to use ambient noise to generate electricity, then use that electricity to power mechanical systems (compressors, wheels) that ultimately drive a larger generator. This violates energy conservation because the initial harvested acoustic energy is orders of magnitude smaller than the mechanical work required for the described processes, creating an impossible energy multiplication loop.
Claims to harvest noise from outdoor AC unit and waste heat, but proposes energy generation from thermoelectric modules without sufficient temperature gradient and from unspecified 'noise utilization' mechanisms.
This patent describes attaching thermoelectric generators and unspecified 'noise utilization' devices to an air conditioner's outdoor unit, claiming electricity generation from waste heat and noise. The physics is flawed because thermoelectric devices on a condenser coil would have negligible temperature gradient, and the noise harvesting mechanism lacks any credible energy conversion principle. The system implicitly suggests creating net energy from losses, violating conservation laws.
Ambient atmospheric electricity (claimed) plus electrical grid input. The device appears to attempt to collect atmospheric potential gradient energy while also drawing from the grid, with unclear energy accounting between the two.
The patent describes a device claiming to utilize 'atmospheric electricity' while connected to the grid, using antennas, radioactive sources, spark gaps, and inductors. It violates the first law of thermodynamics by implying net energy extraction from an equilibrium atmospheric potential without a maintained gradient, and obfuscates this with complex, real electrical components in an impossible configuration.
Ambient thermal gradient (temperature difference) via thermoelectric generator (TEG) chips, with claimed self-charging via stored battery power
The patent describes a gas stove that uses thermoelectric chips to generate electricity from the stove's own flame to power its control system and recharge its battery. This creates a logically closed loop where the only claimed energy input is the gas combustion, yet it purportedly provides perpetual electrical power for controls without external input, violating conservation of energy. While TEGs are real devices, they cannot power the system that creates their required temperature gradient without an external primary energy source.

The patent describes a system that claims to generate electricity by using vibration and electromagnetic waves, with components that 'amplify' each other's energy. This implies energy creation from internal resonance without an adequate external energy source, directly violating the first law (energy conservation) and the second law (no net work from equilibrium) of thermodynamics.
Unclear. Claims to generate electricity using a multi-metal structure (Ta, W, Mo, Ti) with unspecified dimensions, but provides no identifiable external energy input mechanism.
The patent describes a static device made of specific metals that allegedly generates electricity.

The claims are thermodynamically impossible.
Unclear. Claims to use 'natural deformation' of an accumulator material (likely piezoelectric, shape-memory, or similar) to generate tension/force that is then fed back to the accumulator, with external energy only initiating the process.
The patent describes an 'accumulator device' that appears to use energy from the natural deformation of a material to generate a force that is fed back into the system, moving a driven part. The description lacks any complete energy balance, suggests correction/amplification of force from minimal deformation, and thus implies a violation of the first law of thermodynamics by extracting net work without an adequate external energy source.
Unclear. Claims to generate electrical power using a composite of refractory metals (Ta, W, Mo, Ti) and nickel, but provides no identifiable external energy input mechanism.
The patent describes a device that generates electrical power using specific metal composites but completely fails to identify any source of input energy. This constitutes a violation of the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation), as it claims an energy output with no corresponding input, matching the pattern of an over-unity or perpetual motion claim.
Ambient air cooling of a heat dissipator, with circulating hot water providing thermal energy to a thermoelectric generator (TEG). The ultimate source of the 'hot water' is not specified and appears to be treated as a given input.
The device attempts to generate electricity using a thermoelectric module between a hot water tank and a heat sink cooled by ambient air. This violates the Second Law because the energy to heat the water is unaccounted for, and the described setup cannot create a sustainable, useful temperature gradient from a single ambient environment to produce net work.
Unclear. The text describes a system with 'magnetic body' (자성체) and 'electromagnetic body' (전자성체) that appear to generate motion or electricity from magnetic interactions, but no explicit external energy input is identified. The description suggests energy is extracted from the magnetic configuration itself.
The patent describes a magnetic system that claims to generate continuous motion or electricity through interactions between magnetic and electromagnetic bodies. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine, as it lacks any identifiable external energy input to compensate for losses, directly violating the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation). The cyclic process described is thermodynamically impossible.
Unclear. Claims to increase rotational output torque without changing input power magnitude, suggesting energy creation from magnetic interactions alone.
This device claims to increase rotational output torque without increasing input power by using opposing magnetic fields to provide additional 'magnetic thrust.' This violates energy conservation as magnetic interactions alone cannot create net energy; any torque assistance from magnetic repulsion would require equal or greater energy input to establish/maintain the magnetic fields against their mutual repulsion.
Ambient thermal energy from water bath, converted via thermoelectric (Seebeck) effect. Energy storage via lithium battery. Claims suggest the device can power external devices via USB ports.
The device claims to use thermoelectric modules to generate electricity from a water bath's thermal energy, store it, and then use that electricity to power the system and external devices. This describes a system attempting to extract net work from a single thermal reservoir at equilibrium (the water bath), which violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The energy accounting ignores the inevitable cooling of the bath and the external energy required to maintain the temperature gradient.
Unclear. Claims to generate energy from a 'moisture condensation cycle' using iron ion solutions (Fe2+/3+) and moisture absorption/desorption processes, but lacks specification of primary energy input.
The patent describes a system that allegedly generates energy from ambient moisture using iron ion solutions and condensation, but fails to account for the energy required to drive the moisture absorption/desorption and chemical redox cycles. It implies a perpetual cycle that extracts net work from an equilibrium-seeking process, violating the laws of thermodynamics.
Unclear. The system appears to be a complex assembly of heat exchangers (吸热箱, 散热箱), valves, pumps, a turbine generator (汽轮发电机组), and an air compressor, suggesting it attempts to extract energy from ambient heat gradients or convert thermal energy to electricity. However, no primary external energy input (e.g., fuel, substantial electrical input, or a maintained high-temperature source) is clearly identified.
This system is a classic over-unity/perpetual motion machine violation. It describes a complex assembly of heat exchangers, pumps, and a turbine generator that appears designed to run on ambient heat or internally circulated energy, with no clear, sufficient external energy source. Thermodynamically, it is impossible for such a closed system to generate net electrical output, as it violates both energy conservation and the laws governing heat engines.

The device claims to be an automatic ignition system powered only by the combustible gas it burns. It attempts to use a vortex tube and thermoelectric generator to create the electricity needed for ignition from the gas stream itself, forming a closed energy loop.

Ambient thermal gradient along the Z-axis (temperature distribution) is claimed to generate electricity via anomalous Nernst effect and spin-dependent effects, with no external power input described.
The patent describes a thermoelectric device claiming to generate electrical power from a temperature gradient using spin-based effects, but its structure and claims suggest it attempts to extract net work from a single thermal gradient without a complete heat engine cycle, violating the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Ambient thermal energy (via thermoelectric materials) and possibly incident radiation (via photodetectors). Claims suggest electrical output is generated without clear external power input beyond ambient sources.
The patent describes a device combining thermoelectric materials and photodetectors to generate electricity, but its claims lack a complete energy balance. It implies generating net electrical work from ambient thermal energy without a sufficient temperature gradient or external power, which violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

The patent describes a complex electrical network with capacitors and coils but fails to identify any external energy source. The claims imply that reconfiguring internal connections generates usable energy, which violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation). This represents a classic perpetual motion claim disguised as a novel electrical circuit.
Unclear. The text describes a device where a 'W-shaped' structure (W자) with 3-6 wings (코일) is rotated by wind, which then supposedly generates more wind to rotate additional wind turbine structures. This suggests a claim of energy multiplication or self-sustaining generation from an initial input.

The description uses correct-sounding terms (resonance, transformers, oscillating circuits) to obscure the absence of a viable, high-density energy source or a mechanism that doesn't violate conservation laws.
Unclear. Claims suggest energy generation from electrochemical reactions or molecular interactions without specifying an external energy source. Mentions applying voltage (electrical input) but implies energy amplification.
The patent describes a device with two conductive bodies, an ion supply, and circuits for applying voltage and shorting current. It claims high energy efficiency but fails to account for all energy inputs, particularly the chemical energy of the materials. The vague claims and use of technical terms without clear energy accounting suggest a violation of energy conservation, as it implies energy can be generated or amplified from the molecular structure itself without an adequate external source.
Unclear. Claims motion from electrical stimulation of conductive high-molecular particles in electrolyte between diaphragms, suggesting electro-osmosis or electrokinetic effects, but no clear external energy input accounting.
The patent describes a fluid pumping device using conductive polymer particles in electrolyte between diaphragms, claiming continuous reciprocal motion from alternating electrical potentials. It violates energy conservation by implying sustained motion without clear external energy input accounting, using electrokinetic terminology obscuring the missing energy source for net work output.
Unclear/obfuscated. Text describes 'energy amplification' and 'energy multiplication' through interactions between 'energy amplification devices' and 'energy amplification units', suggesting output energy exceeds input energy without identifying any external ambient energy source.
The patent describes a system where 'energy amplification devices' and 'units' interact to produce amplified output energy, strongly implying over-unity performance (output > total input) without identifying any external energy source to account for the gain. This violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation). The repetitive, obfuscated language is a hallmark of perpetual motion claims.
Unclear. The device appears to claim generation of electrical energy using a satellite dish pointed at space, coils, lead plates, and magnetic metal plates, but provides no identifiable external energy input mechanism.
The patent describes a passive arrangement of coils, plates, and a satellite dish but fails to identify any legitimate external energy source. The implied generation of electricity from this static apparatus, with no input power or energy gradient specified, constitutes a clear violation of the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation).
Unclear. Claims suggest extracting electrical energy from ambient moisture (humidity gradient) and using it to generate more electrical energy than input, with cascading/stacking effects that allegedly amplify output.
The patent describes a system that allegedly extracts electrical energy from ambient humidity and then uses cascading/stacking to produce more output energy than input, violating energy conservation. The description is vague, uses obfuscated physics terminology, and implies energy multiplication without a legitimate thermodynamic gradient or cycle.
Ambient environmental energy (vague) and electrical input. Claim 3 explicitly states the output electrical energy is greater than the input electrical energy, implying the ambient energy is the additional source.
The patent claims a device that outputs more electrical energy than it takes in, attributing the difference to vague 'ambient energy.' This violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation) because it does not account for all energy inputs in a closed balance. Electromagnetic induction is a well-understood process that cannot create energy, only transform it.
Ambiguously described. Initial energy inputs appear to be: 1) cooling to liquid hydrogen temperatures, 2) an initial voltage applied between electrodes to ionize gas, and 3) a pulsed DC voltage on an auxiliary coil. The device claims to become self-sustaining, with the ion/electron current within the superconducting coil both powering itself and generating excess electrical output.
The device describes a feedback loop where a circulating charged particle current is claimed to amplify itself and the surrounding magnetic field indefinitely while also producing useful electrical power. This constitutes a clear violation of the first law (energy conservation) and the second law (no process can have 100% efficiency or extract work from equilibrium). The initial inputs are insufficient to account for the claimed continuous output.
Unclear. The claim describes a generator with a rotating bell, permanent magnet, and Hall sensors, implying mechanical rotation as input. However, no external prime mover (e.g., motor, turbine) is specified to sustain rotation against electromagnetic braking and friction.
The claim describes an electrical generator but fails to account for the continuous mechanical energy input required to turn the rotor against the electromagnetic braking torque that arises when current is drawn. The garbled text obscures a complete analysis, but the core omission violates energy conservation.
Unclear. The described system appears to be a closed electrical loop with transformers, inverters, and rectifiers, suggesting the only intended input is the initial direct current source. No external energy source (ambient, chemical, thermal gradient) is identified.
This patent describes an electrical system that claims to produce more energy than it consumes by manipulating voltages and currents internally. This is impossible as it violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation). All components like transformers and voltage multipliers have losses, and the described process of creating 'static charges' to add voltage does not create usable electrical power.
A self-charging tool device is disclosed that eliminates the need for tool chargers. The self-charging tool device comprises a rotary engine that is attached to a power generator. As the rotary engine powers the tool, the generator collects the mechanical energy created by the engine and converts it to electrical energy that will be stored in an internal battery. Further, the device consists of an internal motor and micro generator system connected to one another. A double battery and cell system would then alternate power at a specific point of charge to optimize drill performance and maintain a balance of readily available power. This will keep the tool permanently charged and eliminate the need for a tool charger. Further, the outer shell would be comprised of a hard plastic to maximize durability of the device.
The device is a classic perpetual motion machine of the first kind. The generator cannot produce more electrical energy than the mechanical work it extracts from the motor's shaft. This extraction increases the motor's load, causing it to drain the battery faster than the generator can recharge it, resulting in a net energy loss with each cycle.
Initially from an internal battery or external source (solar, grid). The claim is that the generator's output exceeds the load and powers its own input drive, implying a closed-loop, self-sustaining system with excess power.
The apparatus claims to generate electrical power in excess of its load and use part of that excess to power itself, creating a self-sustaining loop with net power output. This is impossible as it violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation); every conversion step loses energy to heat, so the feedback power is always less than the generator output, leading to shutdown without an external source.
Unclear. Claims to harvest energy from relative motion between an artificial electromagnetic field and a conductor, with motion driven by celestial bodies (e.g., Earth's rotation/orbit). The artificial field's creation energy is not accounted for.
The described system violates energy conservation. Generating electricity via motional EMF requires mechanical work to move the conductor against the magnetic resistance. The patent treats the celestial motion as a free energy source, but fails to account for the energy needed to both create the magnetic field and to sustain the relative motion against the induced braking force.
Mechanical rotation input (explicit), magnetic potential energy from permanent magnets (implicit, but not a net energy source).
The claim violates energy conservation. In any generator, the mechanical resistance (torque) on the shaft is directly and fundamentally linked to the electrical power extracted. Attempting to eliminate this resistance via magnetic geometry while still generating electricity is thermodynamically impossible, as it implies creating electrical energy without an equal input of mechanical work.
Initial battery, then implied self-sustaining operation from alternator output feeding back to the motor.
The described system is a classic over-unity/perpetual motion claim. After the battery starts the motor, the alternator's output is insufficient to both power the motor and supply useful external work due to inevitable losses. The claim of unlimited energy violates the first law of thermodynamics.
Ambiguous. Claims waste heat conversion via a 'cooling effect' from electrical pulses, suggesting energy is extracted from the heat source. The pulse generator is the explicit input, but the claim is that output > input due to 'absorption of external energy'.
The device claims to output more electrical energy than is input by using pulses to cool a conductor and absorb ambient heat, which directly violates energy conservation and the laws of thermodynamics. The description misuses physics terminology ('etalon', 'resonance') to obscure a classic over-unity claim lacking a legitimate, quantified external energy source.
Ambient heat from the cold sink and the electrical input from the pulse generator. The abstract explicitly claims the output energy is larger than the supplied pulse generator energy due to 'absorption of external energy by the conductor'.
The device claims to cool an object (extract heat) while simultaneously producing more electrical energy than is supplied, effectively creating a perpetual motion machine of the first kind. This directly violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation) and the Second Law (cannot convert ambient heat into useful work without a colder reservoir).
Unclear. Claims to 'access an environmental energy field' and 'acquire energy from the environment' but does not specify a physical gradient (thermal, radiative, chemical, etc.) or a defined ambient energy source. The primary input appears to be electrical energy to power coils.
The patent describes a system that claims to generate and absorb energy from a vague environment using interacting magnetic fields and ions, but it fails to specify a legitimate external energy source. The description uses invented and misapplied terminology to obscure the fact that it proposes extracting net work without a thermodynamic gradient, constituting a violation of energy conservation.
The invention discloses a cycle power generation device, comprising a battery, a motor and a generator. The battery is a rechargeable battery and is connected with the motor through a power transmission line. The motor drives the generator to rotate, and the electricity returns to the motor through the power transmission line in series after producing electricity, thereby achieving the cycle power generation by driving the motor. The battery is provided for starting the motor at the initial stage, and the motor is driven by the electricity from the generator instead of the battery, after driving the generator to produce electricity by rotating the motor. The electricity produced by the generator is linearly transmitted to the motor, and the motor drives the generator to generate electricity, which is the cycle power generation.
The device is a classic perpetual motion machine of the first kind. It claims that after an initial start from a battery, the generator can produce enough electricity to power the motor driving it, sustaining the cycle indefinitely. This is impossible because every conversion step loses energy as waste heat, causing the system to rapidly stop without continuous external energy input.
Disclosed is a system (100, 500) for power generation. The system comprises a flywheel assembly (104, 200) comprising matter therein and a chamber arrangement enclosure (102) surrounding the flywheel assembly, wherein the chamber arrangement enclosure is configured to store antimatter (408) therein using magnetic and/or electrostatic fields. Herein the antimatter in the chamber arrangement enclosure is configured to cause rotation (106) of the flywheel assembly, said rotation providing a driving force to the flywheel assembly for generation of power via a turbine connected thereto.
The patent describes an impossible energy conversion process. It uses correct-sounding terms (antimatter, tokamak, particle accelerator) to obfuscate the core violation: it implicitly claims net energy output while ignoring the massive energy required to create and contain the antimatter, which is the true energy source. The described rotation mechanism is physically nonsensical.
Primary energy input is electrical from an unspecified 'alternative energy source' used to power a motor-alternator and a second motor. The system claims to amplify this input via an 'electrostatic energy amplifier' (Van de Graaff generator).
The system describes a loop where electrical energy is used to run a high-voltage generator and a Van de Graaff generator, which then supposedly powers an electrostatic motor. It claims 'amplification' of electrostatic energy without introducing a new external energy source, implying creation of energy from within the closed system, which violates the first law of thermodynamics. The use of correct electrostatic terms obscures the fundamental violation of energy conservation.
Unclear. Claims to use a 'self-sustaining portion' of generated EMF to power itself, with excess for the grid. Implicitly suggests energy is extracted from Earth's magnetic field or from initial motion sustained with minimal friction.
The device is described as a perpetual motion machine of the first kind. It claims to use part of its own output to sustain itself indefinitely while producing excess power for the grid, violating the conservation of energy. The references to Earth's magnetic field and 'near frictionless' operation are insufficient to circumvent thermodynamic limits.
The primary explicit energy input is the electrical power (≤12W) used to generate the LASER beam, which heats the carbon nanotubes. The thermoelectric generator then converts the resulting temperature gradient (between the heated nanotubes and the coolant) into electricity.
The device is a standard thermoelectric generator setup requiring an external heat source and sink. The claim of 'free electricity' violates energy conservation, as the electrical output cannot exceed the total energy input into the system, which includes the laser power and any ambient heat harvested. The description obfuscates this by focusing only on the low laser power.
Primary claimed source: Electrical input to UV LEDs. Secondary claimed source: Energy multiplication via photon-electron interactions inside a sealed system, purportedly generating more electricity from solar cells than was input to the LEDs.
The device claims to generate more electrical output than input by using its own internally circulated light, which is a violation of the first law of thermodynamics. The described 'photon-electron interactions' in a sealed, passive crystal do not constitute a valid energy source, making this a perpetual motion claim of the first kind.
Ambient thermal energy (implicitly) and the claimed 'Casimir-vdW forces' which are static quantum vacuum/fluctuation forces. The patent abstract explicitly claims the device produces more power than it consumes.
The device claims to produce more electrical energy than it consumes by cyclically harnessing the static Casimir force with a piezoelectric element. This violates the conservation of energy, as the energy needed to reset the system (modulate the Casimir force) must equal or exceed any electrical energy harvested from it during the cycle, making net power generation impossible.
Unclear. Claims to transform permanent magnetic energy and harvest atmospheric electrons via a magnetic 'depression', but no identifiable external energy gradient is described. The initial burst from a DC source is the only explicit input.
The device claims to produce continuous electrical power from a permanent magnet after an initial pulse, violating the conservation of energy. The description invokes nonsensical physics concepts like a magnetic 'whirl-pool' and an 'atmospheric depression' to obfuscate the lack of a real, sustainable energy source.
Initial energy stored in the battery bank. The system claims to create a closed loop where the alternator recharges the same battery bank that powers the motor driving it.
This device is a classic over-unity claim. It proposes a loop where a battery runs a motor that turns an alternator to recharge the same battery, while also powering a large external load. This is impossible because every energy conversion step loses energy to heat, friction, and electrical resistance. The system cannot sustain itself or output net power without an external energy source.
Initially from a 12V battery, with the system claiming to recharge that battery and produce excess power from its own generator output, implying a closed-loop energy source.
The described system is a classic over-unity claim. It attempts to create a closed loop where a generator recharges the battery that powers the motor driving the generator, while also outputting significant useful power. This violates the conservation of energy, as the total output power (charging + load) cannot exceed the input power minus all inevitable losses.
Unclear. The device appears to be a static assembly of a magnet and metal plates with no described input of mechanical work, thermal gradient, chemical reaction, or ambient energy harvesting mechanism.
The described device is a static arrangement of magnets and conductors with no moving parts, changing fields, or external energy input. It violates energy conservation by claiming to generate usable electrical power from a permanent magnet's static field alone, which is thermodynamically impossible as it would constitute a perpetual motion machine of the first kind.
The only explicit energy source is the initial electrical source (DC battery). The patent claims this source is recharged by the device's own operation while simultaneously exporting usable work, implying energy is extracted from the ambient environment (referred to as 'Cold potential electromagnetic energy waves') without a clear, quantified gradient.
The device claims to perform useful work and fully recharge its own battery in a closed, reversible cycle, which directly violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) and the second law (entropy must increase in a real process). The description obfuscates the lack of a legitimate external energy source.
The invention is the permanent magnet electrical machinery that does not need any other energy and can be used as an electromotor or a generator. It consists of a shell that installed with iron cores, coils, principal axis, switches and a control circuit. The 3 coils are circled in the middle, top and bottom part of the stator core separately. The rotor core has leafs and each leaf has a shape of c, it is made by soft magnetism material and is embed with the magnet on each leaf. When the turning rotor core is entering into the position to face with stator core, electric current is produced in the coil in the middle of stator core. The electric current be exported and passed to the coil on the top and bottom of the next stator core. Its magnetic force of electric current repulses the next rotor core, so the rotor core turns and the machine export electricity continually. The gravitation between the end of the previous leaf of the rotor core and the end of the previous stator core still exists.
The device is described as a permanent magnet machine that exports electricity continually after a startup from a self-charging battery. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the first kind, violating energy conservation. The magnetic forces used to induce current and repel rotor cores will inherently dissipate the rotor's kinetic energy, requiring external work to maintain motion.
Claims to extract net energy from quantum vacuum fluctuations (zero-point energy) via Casimir-van der Waals forces, with no other explicit input.
The claim violates fundamental physics. The Casimir force is not an external energy source but a conservative force arising from boundary conditions on the quantum vacuum; you cannot extract net work from it in a cycle. The device describes a perpetual motion machine of the first kind, claiming to create energy from nothing.
Electrical input from the power supply to energize the electromagnets. No other energy source is described.
The device is described as a 'generator' but provides no external mechanical or thermal energy input. The only identified energy source is its own power supply, making it an electrically-driven oscillator, not a net energy generator. Any electrical output would be less than the controller and magnet input power, violating energy conservation if net output is claimed.
Ambiguous. Claims suggest electrical energy production from mechanical loads or incoming waves via 'reshaping wavelike characteristics of charge carriers' and 'release of elastic strain energy', but the described mechanism bypasses standard electromotive force generation.
The patent claims describe a material that allegedly generates electrical power from mechanical loads or waves without creating a voltage, which violates the fundamental requirement of an electromotive force to drive a current. The proposed mechanism of 'reshaping charge carrier wave characteristics' is physically nonsensical and obscures a likely violation of energy conservation, especially when claiming simultaneous energy harvesting and structural enhancement from the same finite energy input.
Unspecified. The claim explicitly states the intent is to produce energy from no input or from less input, which would require an undisclosed external source (e.g., ambient energy, chemical, thermal) or violate conservation laws.
The patent directly and explicitly claims to violate the conservation of energy, which is a fundamental law of physics. The described mechanisms—phase shifts and signal distortions in electrical circuits—manage the flow of real and reactive power but cannot create net energy without an external source.
Unclear. Claims imply energy extraction from an 'amplified background electric potential energy field of spacetime' via 'spin-connection-resonance' and 'anti-gravity region', with no identifiable external energy input.
The claim violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation) by proposing a device that generates both electrical and mechanical power while implying increased efficiency, without identifying a sufficient external energy source. It attempts to circumvent thermodynamic limits using unsubstantiated theoretical constructs.
Ambient wind energy (initial input) is claimed to be amplified through a tube and used to power a fan, which then generates electricity to both power itself and external loads, creating a self-sustaining, perpetual system.
The claim describes a classic over-unity/perpetual motion device. The system ignores all energy losses and proposes that a fan, powered by its own generated electricity (after an initial wind input), can sustain its own motion indefinitely while also powering external loads. This directly violates energy conservation laws.
Claims to use a 'Kriuk antenna' powered by a 'source of expenditure energy' to excite the Earth's electromagnetic field locally, then extract more electromagnetic energy from the environment than is input to power fluorescent lamps.
The device claims an energy conversion coefficient far greater than unity (400%-2000%), which violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation). It incorrectly treats the ambient Earth electromagnetic field as an energy source that can be tapped for net work output without a compensating dissipation, analogous to a perpetual motion machine of the first kind. The comparison to heat pump coefficient of performance (COP) is a misleading obfuscation, as COP relates to energy movement, not creation.
Unclear. Claims suggest energy generation from magnetic attraction/repulsion and piezoelectric compression of quartz, but no external energy input is identified to sustain the magnetic forces or compression cycles.
The claim describes a device that supposedly generates and stores energy from magnetic attraction/repulsion and quartz compression, but provides no source of energy to initiate or sustain these cycles, violating energy conservation. The technical language is used incoherently, mixing unrelated semiconductor concepts with energy generation claims.
Unclear. The described system (battery, charger, inverter) contains only energy storage and conversion components. No primary energy source (e.g., fuel, solar panel, mechanical input) is specified to recharge the battery.
The described device is a collection of energy storage and conversion parts with no identified source of energy to recharge the battery. Running a load from the battery will deplete it. Calling it 'self-charging' without an external energy source is a direct violation of energy conservation.
Unclear. The text implies energy is generated from isolating and accumulating charges using 'like-forces,' but no primary external energy input (e.g., electrical, chemical, ambient) is identified or quantified. The claim of 'limitless electrical power' suggests no sustained input is required.
The device claims to produce limitless or greatly increased electrical power by isolating like charges, which fundamentally violates the conservation of energy. No legitimate external energy source is described, and the proposed mechanism misapplies basic electrostatic principles.
Unspecified. The claim implies the only input is the electrical energy to the primary, but the device allegedly produces more electrical energy output.
The patent claim explicitly states its purpose is to disprove conservation of energy and produce more output electrical energy than input, which is a direct violation of the First Law of Thermodynamics. The described innovations do not identify any external energy source, making the claimed over-unity operation impossible.
The claimed system's useful electrical output is derived from the deformation of a piezoelectric material in the tire, which is caused by the weight of the car pressing it against the road. The energy for this deformation ultimately comes from the car's engine, which overcomes rolling resistance to keep the car moving.
The device attempts to recycle energy lost to tire deformation to propel the car. This violates energy conservation because the harvesting process itself increases the energy needed to deform the tire, and the recovered electricity is always less than that extra cost. It cannot create net energy to assist propulsion; it can only recapture a portion of a loss it exacerbates.
Unclear. Claims suggest energy is generated from the interaction of pulsed DC with permanent magnets and magnetic circuits, implying energy multiplication from the magnetic system itself, not from an external gradient or fuel.
The patent describes a system that appears to violate energy conservation. It claims to capture and store energy from both the charging and collapsing magnetic field of a coil, and to generate additional output from 'sweeping' permanent magnet flux, without identifying a sufficient external energy source to account for the total claimed outputs beyond the initial electrical input.
Ambient gravitational potential energy of the liquid, converted via droplet fall. The apparatus itself must supply the energy to lift the liquid back to the storage module to sustain the cycle.
The apparatus extracts energy from falling droplets, but for continuous operation, the liquid must be returned to the top, requiring at least as much energy as is generated. The patent ignores this essential input, making the claimed 'continuous energy generation' a violation of the first law of thermodynamics.
This is an electro-mechanical device systematically coupled for complete green energy generation for both AC and DC systems. This self-generating and self-charging Homeostatic Continuous-Flow generator is able to provide uninterrupted energy to power a load and also replenish itself without any external energy/power feed/source. An initial/cranking battery powers a controlled motor engine attached with a dynamo/magneto to mechanically generate boosted current which feeds the load and re-feeds itself. For safety, a battery management system for power/energy control is incorporated. For vehicles, the DC system is connected to the vehicle's accelerator/throttle, the speed control systems and the generator's dynamo/magneto, generating an output that powers the entire vehicle's electrical system interwoven. For home use generator and other applications, the simple DC motor-engine is attached with magneto/dynamo and connected with a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Motor Control System which controls speed of the magneto/dynamo to power the entire electrical system via a booster/converter/Inverter.
The device claims to be a perpetual motion machine of the first kind, generating net useful work from a closed loop of motor and generator with no external energy input. This directly violates the conservation of energy, as system losses would inevitably drain the initial battery, requiring more energy to recharge it than the system can output.
Unclear. The only explicit input is the rotational kinetic energy imparted to the discrete matter to create the vortex. The claim suggests the induced electromagnetic force-field is a net output of useful force, and that nuclear fusion may 'help power' the method, implying energy amplification.
The patent claims violate fundamental physics by describing a mechanism that purports to generate a useful electromagnetic force-field from a rotating vortex, with no clear external energy input to account for the output work. The described causal chain is electrodynamically invalid and implies energy creation, constituting a perpetual motion scheme.
Vague and unspecified 'energetic waves' from the sun and celestial bodies, distinct from photons. No identifiable gradient or mechanism for energy transfer.
The claim violates core physics principles by asserting energy harvesting from unspecified 'energetic waves' at 50 times the photovoltaic limit, without identifying a real energy gradient or work potential. The described system, powered by its own battery, suggests a perpetual energy source, directly contradicting the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
Unclear. Claims suggest the cell's electrical potential difference increases during discharge, implying energy is created or harvested from unspecified ambient sources (kinetic energy, heat) without a defined gradient or mechanism.
The claim that a cell's voltage increases while powering a load directly violates the conservation of energy, as it implies creating electrical energy from nothing. The description uses advanced physics terminology incoherently to disguise what is essentially a perpetual motion claim.
Unclear. The device requires external inputs of a magnetic field and an electric field, but the patent abstract and claims treat these as inputs and the output current as 'generated' energy without accounting for the work required to create and sustain those fields.
The device is presented as an energy generator, but it is fundamentally a passive conductor in crossed electric and magnetic fields. The output electrical power is drawn from the work done by the external systems creating the fields, not generated from within. The claim of energy generation without quantifying these inputs violates the First Law of Thermodynamics.
Ambiguous. Claims to generate 'unlimited voltage' and 'mechanic work' from dielectric displacement in variable capacitors, implying energy is extracted from the dielectric replacement process itself, with mechanical work as an input for the generator mode.
The core claim violates energy conservation by asserting that displacing dielectrics in a charged variable capacitor can generate unlimited voltage or net mechanical work without sufficient external energy input. The proposed cycles and 'overunity' claims are classic perpetual motion schemes disguised with complex terminology like 'dielectrodynamics'.
Ambient thermal energy (implicitly) used to drive a phase-change fluid cycle, which then heats/cools a ferroelectric material through its Curie temperature to generate electricity via pyroelectric effect.
The patent claims describe a system that repeatedly heats and cools a ferroelectric material using a passively circulating phase-change fluid to generate electricity, while stating it uses no electrical energy and eliminates external inputs. This violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation) because the useful electrical output and circulation work must come from an identified external energy source, such as a maintained temperature gradient. It also violates the Second Law, as it implies a perpetual cyclic process extracting net work from an equilibrium environment.
The only explicit energy input is the electrical power from the hydrogen fuel cell, which is cycled back to power the electrolyzer. The system claims to generate 'electric power as the main product' from this loop, implying a net energy output.
The system describes a closed energy loop where a fuel cell is supposed to power the electrolyzer that creates its own fuel. This violates conservation of energy, as the round-trip efficiency of water electrolysis and fuel cell recombination is always less than 100%, resulting in a net energy loss, not generation. The claim of net power output is thermodynamically impossible.
The primary claimed energy source is ambiguous. The abstract mentions 'magnetic energy existing in the nature,' but the device requires a 'driving unit' to move the first magnetic body. The work of desalination (pressing seawater against a reverse osmosis membrane) is ostensibly performed by the lifting mechanism powered by magnetic repulsion.
The device attempts to perform desalination work using a magnetic lifting mechanism, but it fails to account for the full energy cycle. The energy needed to move the first magnet into position under the repelling second magnet is ignored, violating conservation of energy. The magnetic field is not an external energy source but an internal force, making the claimed 'energy saving' from 'magnetic energy in nature' physically invalid.
Ambient atmospheric electricity and mechanical vibrations (claimed). No clear, identifiable primary energy gradient or input is specified; the system appears to claim to generate net power from its own operation and ambient 'positive and negative electricity'.
The patent describes a system claiming to generate electrical power from atmospheric electricity and vibrations, then use that power for 'self-charging propulsion' and recycling, implying net energy creation. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it lacks a clear, sufficient external energy source and describes a perpetual-motion-like cycle. The use of piezoelectric elements is legitimate for energy harvesting, but the overall system claims exceed this by suggesting indefinite recycling and self-powered propulsion.
Unclear. Mentions 'moving molecules', 'vacuum pressures', 'oil and methane hydrate crystalline', and a 'lithium oxide capacitor', but provides no coherent, identifiable primary energy input. The description suggests energy is created from motion sustained by vacuum pressure without an external gradient.
The device claims enormous continuous electrical output for years without a legitimate fuel source, directly violating the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation). The description is a collection of pseudoscientific terms that do not form a coherent energy conversion mechanism, and the secondary claims are physically implausible.
Initial energy from a rechargeable buffer battery. Claims of 'converting renewable energy' and 'potential energy into kinetic energy' are vague and refer to internal energy conversions, not an external primary source.
The device is described as a closed-loop system powered by a battery, claiming to generate enough excess electricity to recharge itself and power an external load indefinitely. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation), as it creates energy from nowhere. The use of correct physics terms like 'Hall Effect' and 'resonance' is misleading and does not circumvent this fundamental violation.
Unclear. Implied to be magnetic field input for agitation, but no explicit energy input accounting. Claims fluid motion and reaction without identifiable external energy gradient.
The patent describes a system with magnetic fields and a fluid at phase equilibrium, but provides no legitimate energy source to sustain the claimed fluid flow and 'reaction'. It uses obfuscating pseudo-scientific language ('quantum reaction', 'magnetic force tunnels') to disguise a system that, as described, would violate the first law of thermodynamics by producing motion without an energy input.
Unclear. Claims to harvest 'vibrational energies of Earth's atomic oscillators' and 'Earth's electric oscillations,' which are not defined or recognized as a usable, extractable energy gradient. The device requires an external AC/AC-DC driver input.
The device is an electrically driven resonant circuit that claims to harvest energy from an undefined and thermodynamically impossible source ('Earth's atomic oscillators'). It violates energy conservation by implying net energy output greater than driver input without a legitimate external energy gradient, constituting a perpetual motion scheme.
Claims energy output (coherent EM radiation) is obtained mainly by heat absorption from the environment, with electrical input being much smaller.
The device claims to produce coherent electromagnetic energy (laser output) primarily from environmental heat, with a small electrical input. This is thermodynamically impossible as it effectively describes a heat engine operating with a single temperature reservoir (the environment), violating the Kelvin-Planck statement of the Second Law. The use of quantum terminology obfuscates this fundamental violation.
Claimed to be low-grade heat (two temperature heat sources) via the heat of solution of an electrolyte.
The device is described as a cyclic galvanic cell that uses heat to alter solution concentrations. However, the net work required to reset the system (transferring sediment, exchanging electrodes) must come from the electrical output or an external source. The description ignores these work inputs, making the claimed 'high efficiency' conversion of low-grade heat to electricity a thermodynamic violation, as it effectively proposes a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Unclear. Claims suggest energy is extracted from atmospheric electrons via magnetic field manipulation of silica particles, but the electrical currents supplied to the magnets and chambers are explicit inputs. No ambient gradient (thermal, chemical, etc.) is identified as a legitimate source.
The device claims to generate electricity by using magnets to remove electrons from silica particles, which then replenish from the atmosphere, but it requires significant electrical input to operate. The described mechanism violates energy conservation, as there is no identified external energy source to provide the net output, and the physics of electron removal by a magnetic field is fundamentally incorrect.
Ambient electromagnetic radiation (sunlight) and unspecified 'electromagnetic waves' are claimed as the sole inputs, with the device allegedly generating energy (laser, plasma ignition, implied infinite wave) from these sources without a sufficient thermodynamic gradient or work input.
The claim violates fundamental physics by asserting that passive optical elements can generate a laser and ignite plasma using only ambient light, effectively creating useful energy from a near-equilibrium source without performing the necessary work to establish a usable thermodynamic gradient. The described mechanisms are either impossible or misapplied.
Unclear. Claims imply energy is extracted from ambient static electricity or a temperature gradient, but the described mechanism suggests creation of net useful work (propulsion) from an equilibrium state or from energy already being input to run the refrigerator and ionizer.
The device claims to produce propulsion by 'trapping' static electricity in a cold box and then having it follow heated air. This ignores the primary electrical energy needed to create the cold, heat the air, and ionize it. The core proposal—extracting net useful work from ambient static electricity in a way that violates the second law—is thermodynamically impossible.
Unclear. Claims 'small external energy input' to power electrodes, but the collected electron current is implied to be larger than this input, suggesting the apparatus itself is the purported primary source.
The device is fundamentally an electron pump or ionizer requiring an external power supply to create the fields that extract electrons. The energy needed to liberate and accelerate each electron is supplied by this external source. Any electrical energy collected from the electrons cannot exceed the input energy, making claims of 'high efficiency' generation from a 'small input' thermodynamically impossible as described.
Ambiguously described. Initial rotation appears to come from magnetic interactions and blowers, but the system claims to generate 'excess electrical power' and be 'self-contained', implying net energy output without a clear primary input.
The system describes a feedback loop where generated electricity powers blowers that help spin the turbine, claiming net excess power. This violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it ignores the inevitable losses from friction, electrical resistance, and air drag, making sustained 'excess' generation impossible without an external energy source.
Unclear. Claims imply energy is generated from the charging/discharging cycles of a capacitor with plasma tubes, with no identified external source beyond the electrical input to excite the plasma.
The patent abstract explicitly claims an efficiency greater than one, indicating a power output exceeding the accounted input. The described mechanism provides no clear external energy source (like ambient heat or light) to justify this, making it a textbook case of incomplete energy accounting that violates the first law of thermodynamics.
Unclear. Implied to be from the electron gun's power supply and the anomalous behavior of 'unbound electrons' lacking repulsion, suggesting energy extraction from the electron system itself.
The device's claimed operation is based on a physically impossible premise—that unbound electrons do not repel each other. Any voltage or energy measured at the capacitor is fundamentally supplied by the power source running the electron gun, with inevitable losses. The claim of net energy generation violates energy conservation.
Unclear. Claim implies energy is generated solely from splitting water at the first electrode, with no external energy input specified to drive the water splitting or maintain the ion concentration gradient.
The device claims to generate electricity by splitting water, but splitting water requires more energy than can be recovered by recombining the products. With no identified external energy source (like light, heat, or a chemical fuel), it violates energy conservation by implying a net energy output from an isothermal, closed chemical process.
Provided is an autonomous electric generator including: a stator includes generator coil for generating electricity and motor coil for generating electromagnetic force; a primary rotator includes a first permanent magnet; and a secondary rotator includes a second permanent magnet. The primary rotator and secondary rotator are rotated by the electromagnetic force generated by the motor coil. The autonomous electric generator is to generate renewable, portable and sustainable energy, using a self-sufficient electric generator that produces electricity from naturally abundant resources in a self-sufficient and sustainable method. The autonomous electric generator does not cause any harmful impacts to the environmental ecosystem or to the human health.
This describes a classic over-unity device: a motor turning a generator to power itself and produce excess electricity, violating the first law of thermodynamics. The addition of quantum and magnetic shielding terminology does not provide a legitimate external energy source, making the claimed autonomy physically impossible.
Unclear. Claims suggest conversion of 'bonding potential energy' between masses into electron kinetic energy, but the described mechanism (three-body association radiation reactions with hydrogen isotopes in a nanoscale lattice) lacks a coherent, identifiable external energy input. The apparatus uses a 'reactant generator' and a heat sink, implying chemical/hydrogen input and thermal management, but no primary energy source for the claimed energy release is specified.
The patent describes a device that appears to generate electrical energy from hydrogen isotopes interacting with a nanoscale lattice, but it fails to identify the primary external energy source. The mechanism conflates solid-state physics concepts to obfuscate a process that, as described, would create useful energy (energized escaping electrons) from an unspecified or internal source, violating conservation of energy and thermodynamic limits for direct energy conversion.
Unclear. The text describes a device that appears to use some form of input energy to create a 'gradient' or 'potential difference', then uses that gradient to produce output energy that is then fed back to maintain or amplify the initial gradient. No primary external energy source is clearly identified.
The patent claim describes a device where a created gradient is used to produce energy, and part of that output energy is fed back to maintain the gradient. This constitutes a circular energy flow with no net external input, which violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation). The vague, obfuscated language prevents identification of a legitimate external energy source.
Unclear. The patent describes a 'magnetic energy conversion device' (자기 에너지 변환 장치) that appears to generate magnetic fields and motion from an initial magnetic source, suggesting energy is extracted from permanent magnets or magnetic configurations without an identified external input.
The patent describes a magnetic energy conversion device that claims to generate cascading or multiplied magnetic fields and motion from an initial magnetic source without a clear, sustained external energy input. This constitutes a perpetual motion claim, as it implies the extraction of net work from a system in equilibrium (permanent magnets), directly violating the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation).
Unclear. Claims suggest energy generation from a 'magnetic energy generator' (자기 에너지 발전기) and 'magnetic energy amplification' without identifying a primary external energy input. Mentions '300, 1500, and 6000 times amplification' which implies energy multiplication from an unspecified source.
The patent describes a 'magnetic energy generator' that claims to produce amplified energy output (300x to 6000x) through magnetic interactions without identifying any external energy input to sustain it. This constitutes a clear violation of the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation), as it claims to create energy from nothing within a closed system of magnetic components.
Unclear. The text describes a 'magnetic energy generator' (자계 에너지발전기) with components like magnetic energy generator cores (b900), magnetic force generation units (b300), and magnetic force generation coils (b200). It mentions using 'natural magnetic force' and 'permanent magnets', suggesting it attempts to extract work from permanent magnets without an external energy input to replenish the magnetic field.
The device is described as a magnetic energy generator that uses permanent magnets and magnetic components to produce electrical power. It violates fundamental physics because it claims to generate net power output without identifying an external energy source to replenish the system, effectively attempting to create a perpetual motion machine of the first kind.
Ambient magnetic fields and/or Earth's magnetic field, combined with unspecified control inputs to magnetic elements.
The patent describes a magnetic system claiming to output more energy than is input by extracting energy from ambient magnetic fields. This violates energy conservation because it doesn't identify a true energy source being consumed; extracting net work from Earth's magnetic field alone is thermodynamically impossible without a temperature or potential gradient. The description uses correct magnetic terminology but in a way that obfuscates the fundamental energy accounting problem.
Unclear. The primary input appears to be electrical energy to power the electrolysis unit and plasma torch. The system claims to output electrical current from the separated charged particles, implying energy gain.
The system describes a complex process but omits the crucial energy balance. The electrical energy required to create the plasma from electrolyzed gas will always exceed any electrical energy recovered from separating its charged particles, as the plasma generation and particle separation are lossy processes. This constitutes a violation of the first law of thermodynamics.
Initial manual crank or external battery provides starting energy. The device then claims to use a portion of the electrical output from the generator to power the motor that drives the generator, sustaining the cycle.
The device is a textbook example of a perpetual motion machine. It describes a generator powered by a motor, which is in turn powered by the generator's output. This closed loop violates conservation of energy, as the inevitable losses in each conversion mean the system cannot sustain itself without an external energy input beyond the initial start.
Unclear/ambiguous. Claims multiple simultaneous generation from 'circulation generator' (permanent magnet motor), 'vibration generator' (piezoelectric), and 'geothermal generator' (thermoelectric), all feeding a storage system. No primary external energy input specified.
The patent describes a multi-source device combining a rotary generator (with permanent magnets and coils), piezoelectric elements, and a thermoelectric module. The core violation is the 'circulation generator' which, based on its described structure of nested shells, permanent magnets, and brushes, appears designed to operate as a permanent magnet motor/generator without an identified external power source to overcome losses, implying a perpetual motion scheme. Combining ambient harvesters does not rectify this fundamental flaw.
Unclear primary energy input. The system appears to be a closed-loop arrangement with a heater, turbine, generator, compressor, and cooler, plus a waste heat recovery module using thermoelectric generators. No external fuel, electrical input, or environmental gradient is clearly identified as the primary energy source.
The system describes a complex arrangement of thermodynamic components forming a closed loop, with waste heat recovery claimed to improve efficiency. However, it lacks any identifiable external energy source to drive the cycle, making it a perpetual motion machine of the first kind. The waste heat recovery cannot create net energy, as it merely converts a portion of the system's internal thermal losses into electricity at a conversion efficiency far below 100%.

It is just a supplementary device.ì기 ë°ëª ì 기ì ì ì¸ ëª©ì ì ë¬ì±í기 ìíì¬ ê·¸ë¦¼ì¼ë¡ íìí ì¡°ë¥ ë¶ë¦¬ 모ìì ì² ì¬( ë1. ë2. ë3.ìì ê³ ì ì ì² ì¬(4) 참조 )ì ê³ ì ì ì구ìì(3)ì ì쪽( íì ì ì구ìì(2) ë°©í¥ ìª½ )ì ì¤ì¹ íê³ ì¡°ë¥ ë¶ë¦¬ 모í ê³ ì ì ì² ì¬(4)ì ì¡°ë¥ ë¶ë¦¬ ë¶ë¶ì ê³ ì ì ì½ì¼(5)ì ì¤ì¹ íë¤.In order to achieve the technical object of the present invention, the front of the stator permanent magnet (3) the front of the stator permanent magnet (3) with a bird beak-shaped iron core (see Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3). Install the stator coil (5) on the bird beak part of the bird beak model stator iron core (4).ì기 ìíì ê³ ì ì ì½ì¼(5)ì ì ë¥ê° í르면 ê³ ì ì ì구ìì(3)ìì ëì¨ ìë ¥ì ì´ ê³ ì ì ì구ìì(3) ì쪽ì¼ë¡ ë©ë¦¬ ëê°ì§ ìê² ëë©´ì ê³ ì ì ì구ìì(3) ë§ì ìë ¥ì 루íê° ë§ë¤ì´ ì§ê² ëë¤.When the current flows through the stator coil 5 in the above state, the magnetic force lines from the stator permanent magnets 3 do not go far to the front of the stator permanent magnets 3, and the magnetic line loops of only the stator permanent magnets 3 are made.ì기ì ìíìì ê³ ì ì ì구ìì(3) ë§ì ìë ¥ì 루íê° ë§ë¤ì´ì§ ìíë¼ë ë»ì ê³ ì ì ì구ìì(3)ì ìë ¥ì´ íì ì ì구ìì(2)ì ê·¹ë¨ì ëì´ ë¹ê¸°ë í(í¡ì¸ë ¥ì´ ìì´ì§)ì´ ìì¤ ëë¤. ì´ë ì ê³ ì ì ì구ìì(3) ìë ¥ì íì ìí´ í ì ì ì구ìì(2) ê·¹ë¨ì(ì ê³ ì ì ì구ìì(3)ì í¡ì¸ë ¥ì ìí´ ëì¬ê°) ëì¬ ê°ë©´ì íì íê²ëë¤.In the above state means that the magnetic line loop of the stator permanent magnet (3) is made only means that the magnetic force of the stator permanent magnet (3) pulls the extreme of the rotor permanent magnet (2) (the suction force is lost). At this time, the rotor permanent magnet (2) extreme by the force of the side stator permanent magnet (3) magnetic force (pulled by the suction force of the side stator permanent magnet (3)) is dragged to rotate.ì기ìì ì¤ëª í ìì©íë ì리를 ê° ê³ ì ì ì구ìì(3)ì ì쪽ì íì ì ì구ìì(2) ê·¹ë¨ì´ ëì°© í ë ë§ë¤ ë°ë³µ ëë©´ì íì ìì¶(1)ì ê³ì íì íê² ëë¤.The principle described above is repeated each time the rotor permanent magnet 2 extreme arrives in front of each stator permanent magnet (3), the rotor shaft (1) continues to rotate.
The patent describes a system where a 'control energy device' powers an 'ambient energy device' to extract environmental energy, with the output allegedly fed back to power the control device. This implies a perpetual feedback loop that extracts net work from a single temperature reservoir, which is thermodynamically impossible as it violates energy conservation and the second law of thermodynamics.
Claims to extract electrical energy from electrons produced by the decay of atmospheric muons (from cosmic rays), using an oscillating magnetic field tuned to the muon's Compton wavelength to 'attract and concentrate' muons.
The device claims to generate electricity by 'attracting' cosmic ray muons and harvesting electrons from their decay, but this is physically impossible. The proposed mechanism misrepresents particle decay, ignores the negligible energy density of muons at Earth's surface, and violates energy conservation by implying useful power extraction from a passive, isotropic source with no described thermodynamic gradient.
Unclear. Claims suggest initial energy input to start rotation, then energy is extracted via dynamos to feed the system's own electromagnets, implying self-sustaining operation or energy multiplication.
The device is a textbook perpetual motion machine. It claims to generate rotational kinetic energy from a magnetically constrained sphere, convert it to electricity, and use that electricity to power its own magnets. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it provides no net external energy source to compensate for inevitable losses.
Initial input is 240V solar energy. The claim then describes a closed loop where stored battery energy is recycled to power the motor that drives the generator, ostensibly to sustain the system and provide excess household power.
The system's core claim of recycling battery energy to run itself and produce excess power is a textbook violation of energy conservation. After the initial solar input is depleted, the proposed closed loop cannot sustain itself, let alone provide net output, due to inevitable losses in every conversion step.
Vague claim of extracting 'excess electrons' from the sky/atmosphere via a special capacitor and antenna system, implying atmospheric electricity without quantifying the source gradient or power density.
The device claims to produce useful electricity from a 'special capacitor' and antenna that draw 'excess electrons' from the sky, but provides no physically valid mechanism for generating net power without an external energy source. It violates energy conservation by implying creation of electrical energy from an unspecified and unquantified atmospheric potential, using incorrect capacitor theory.
Unclear. Text references 'Cathodes potentielles' and 'décharge d'électricité variable' but provides no identifiable external energy input mechanism. Implies generation of electricity without a defined source.
The provided text is fragmented and incoherent, but the core claim of an electricity 'stimulator-mediator' with no defined energy source and vague technical terminology strongly suggests a violation of energy conservation. The lack of a clear input or gradient from which to extract work makes the device thermodynamically impossible as described.
Unclear. Mentions electrical input from household power to heat/pressurize water, then suggests self-recharging via a rotating wheel with copper, implying energy generation from the water system itself.
The claim violates the first law of thermodynamics by implying a self-recharging or over-unity system without identifying a sufficient external energy source. It uses obfuscated technical language to describe an undefined process that ostensibly extracts net energy from water, which is not an energy source, while ignoring the necessary continuous input to maintain the described temperature and pressure conditions.
Electrical grid input (220.9V, 538.2A AC) used to power incandescent lamps, which then illuminate silicon solar cells.
The device claims to double electrical current by using grid power to run lamps that illuminate solar panels. This is a classic violation of energy conservation, as the solar panels can only output a fraction of the light energy they receive, which itself is only a fraction of the original grid power. The system's total output cannot exceed its total input.
Unclear. The system claims to be self-sustaining, implying the only explicit energy input is the initial charge in the batteries. The described loop (motor drives generator to recharge the batteries that power the motor) suggests an attempt to create a closed energy loop with no net external input.
The described system is a classic perpetual motion machine of the first kind. It claims a self-sustaining loop where a motor drives a generator to recharge its own power source, violating energy conservation. No external energy source is identified to overcome inevitable losses from friction, resistance, and heat.
Unclear. Mentions a battery to start the motor, but the primary claimed effect (gravity nullification/levitation) is attributed to magnetic rocks and currents created by the motor itself, implying energy generation or a fundamental force cancellation with no identifiable external energy input to sustain it.
The claim violates the law of energy conservation and fundamental principles of gravitation. It proposes to 'nullify gravity'—which would require continuous energy input to counteract weight—using an unclear, self-contained system of spinning magnetic rocks, presenting a classic perpetual motion/anti-gravity violation.
Unclear. Claims to capture 'suspended energies' such as stationary waves, scalar waves, and electric/magnetic/electrostatic energy from the environment around wires and conduits, implying ambient energy harvesting without a defined gradient or source.
The device claims to generate usable overvoltage and reduce energy consumption by over 50% by capturing vague 'suspended energies,' which is a classic sign of incomplete energy accounting. The described mechanism lacks a legitimate, quantifiable energy source, and the performance claims violate the conservation of energy for a passive device attached to an electrical system.
Unclear. Claims electrical output > electrical input due to 'absorption of external energy' via a conductor, but does not specify the external energy source or gradient (thermal, electromagnetic, etc.). Implicitly suggests ambient heat is converted to useful work without a cold sink.
The claim that a pulsed circuit can output more electrical energy than is supplied by absorbing ambient energy through a conductor violates core thermodynamic laws. Extracting net work from a single temperature reservoir (ambient heat) is impossible, and the description fails to account for all energy inputs, suggesting a classic over-unity violation.
Unclear. The electrical circuit that commands the stator magnets is the only explicit input. The device appears to claim the magnetic field energy itself is a source of usable mechanical work without accounting for the energy required to create/maintain those fields or reorient the magnets.
The device is a form of permanent magnet motor, which cannot produce net work. The electrical energy needed to reorient the stator magnets against the strong magnetic forces of the rotor will always equal or exceed any mechanical work extracted, violating conservation of energy. The claim of transforming 'magnetic energy into mechanical energy' misrepresents magnets as an energy source rather than a means of temporary force transmission.
Vague and unspecified. Claims to absorb ambient electromagnetic energy (radio waves, light, etc.) through resonant atomic structures to generate both electricity and heat.
The claim describes a device that generates both electricity and heat from ambient electromagnetic energy without specifying a legitimate transducer or acknowledging the minuscule power density of such ambient fields. It uses the language of resonance and atomic structure to imply a novel energy multiplication effect, which violates the First Law of Thermodynamics as the total useful output cannot exceed the collected ambient energy input.
Ambient electromagnetic energy (vague 'frequencies d'oscillation'), with no identifiable gradient, temperature difference, or coherent energy input mechanism.
The claim describes generating electricity and heat from ambient electromagnetic energy using a special atomic structure, but it violates core thermodynamics by implying useful energy can be extracted from an equilibrium environment without a gradient or sink. The language is obfuscatory, mixing correct terms ('résonner', 'fréquences') with physically meaningless mechanisms for bulk energy generation.
Unclear. Claims to generate electrical energy by modulating the electromagnetic field in an air gap using gamma rays from a rotating radioactive source. Implies the gamma ray vibration interferes with and weakens the magnetic field dynamics, somehow producing net electrical output.
The device claims to generate electrical energy using gamma rays to modulate a magnetic field, but provides no legitimate primary energy source or coherent energy conversion mechanism. The description violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation) by implying net energy output from an insignificant input, and the proposed physical process is nonsensical.
The explicit source is the initial electrical input to the electromagnet(s). An implicit, unaccounted source is the energy stored in the spring and the kinetic energy of the reciprocating system, which is ultimately sourced from the same electrical input.
The claim violates the conservation of energy. The magnetic force used to drive the piston is powered solely by the electrical input. No additional, unaccounted energy source is identified, making the promised amplification impossible. The system is a lossy electromechanical converter, not an amplifier.
Unclear. Text suggests motion is generated from 'single magnets' without AC electrical input, implying extraction of work from permanent magnets alone or from an unspecified ambient source.
The claim describes a motor that operates without AC electrical input using only permanent magnets, which would violate energy conservation. Permanent magnets are static field sources that cannot perform net work over a cycle without an external energy input to reset the system, making this a perpetual motion claim.
Unclear. Describes magnetic arrays and configurations but no explicit energy input. Implied extraction from ambient environment or magnetic fields without thermodynamic gradient.
The device claims electricity generation using magnetic arrays without identifying any energy source, violating conservation of energy. Magnetic systems alone cannot produce net work without an external energy input or thermodynamic gradient to exploit.
Unclear. The text suggests motion and electrical energy are generated from 'anti-gravity' or 'anti-weight' fields and 'repulsive forces', which are not defined or identifiable as legitimate energy sources (e.g., ambient gradients, fuel, or electrical input).
The device claims to produce kinetic and electrical energy from undefined 'anti-weight' and repulsive forces, with no need for fuel. This constitutes a perpetual motion claim, violating energy conservation by asserting a continuous energy output without an identifiable, quantifiable energy input.
Unclear. Text refers to 'practical energy sources' and 'bio-physical theories' but provides no identifiable, quantifiable energy input mechanism. Implies generation of high energy output with minimal cost.
The claim describes a system for high energy production with minimal cost but fails to specify any legitimate external energy source, violating energy conservation. The use of vague, grandiose language and references to unspecified 'bio-physical theories' is characteristic of pseudoscientific perpetual motion claims.
Unclear. Implied to be a photovoltaic system with LEDs, but claims suggest operation for up to 24 hours from daytime solar collection without specifying battery storage or an alternative continuous energy source.
The claim describes a photovoltaic system with LEDs but implies 24-hour operation without a clear, quantified energy storage system. This violates energy conservation by omitting critical accounting for how daytime solar energy is stored to power LEDs continuously. The vague language and lack of technical specifications obscure the fundamental energy balance.
Unclear. The text describes electrical energy input to create a 'radial electric field' within a magnetic field, which allegedly generates a force to move a rotating member. No ambient or additional energy source is identified, suggesting the claim is for a motor driven solely by its electrical input.
The patent describes an electromagnetic system that claims to convert electrical input into mechanical work via a special arrangement of fields. However, it provides no identifiable external energy source, and the described interaction within conservative magnetic and electric fields cannot yield net work output greater than the electrical input, directly violating energy conservation. The vague, physics-like description obscures this fundamental flaw.
Unclear. The description suggests a closed-loop electromechanical system where a motor drives a rotor with magnets, which then drives another module to power a generator. The generator is claimed to power the initial motor and provide additional output.
The described system is a classic over-unity/perpetual motion claim. It posits a closed electromechanical loop where a generator powers the motor that drives it, with surplus energy output. This violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation), as it lacks an external energy source and claims net energy production from nothing.
Unclear. The description suggests an initial motor (1) drives magnet assemblies, which generate electricity via a generator (9). A portion of this generated electricity is then fed back to power the initial motor.
The patent describes an autonomous generator where a motor drives magnets to generate electricity, part of which is fed back to power the same motor. This constitutes a closed-loop energy system with no external input, which violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it claims continuous operation without an external energy source.
Unclear. The claim suggests multiplying magnetic forces (×2, ×4, ×6...) through unspecified arrangement of magnets, implying energy output greater than input without identifying an external energy source.
The patent describes multiplying magnetic forces through magnet arrangement to create rotary motion, which violates energy conservation. Permanent magnets are conservative fields; no net energy can be extracted from their static configuration without an external input to change the system, making this a perpetual motion claim.
Unclear primary energy source. The system appears to use a 'charging storage' unit to initially power motors and generators, then claims the generated current returns to the storage unit, suggesting a closed-loop energy system.
The patent describes a system where generators and motors are connected in a loop with a storage unit, implying the generated electricity can power the motors and recharge the storage indefinitely. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the first kind, violating energy conservation as it claims continuous operation without an external energy source to overcome inevitable losses from friction, resistance, and heat.
Unclear. The system appears to claim generation of alternating current using a UPS, an electric motor, and an electric generator connected via a non-homogeneous gear system, without consuming any significant external energy source.
The patent describes a motor-generator system claiming to produce alternating current without using any significant energy source, which is a direct violation of the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation). This is a classic perpetual motion claim disguised as a novel electrical generation system.
Unclear. The text describes a 'storage motor' (κινητήρας αποθήσης) with a rotor made of non-magnetic material and anti-diametric electromagnetic pairs, claiming continuous current flow without the typical phenomena of electric motors. No primary energy input (electrical, chemical, ambient) is explicitly identified. The implied claim is that the motor's own configuration generates its driving power.
The device is described as an electric motor that operates continuously without an apparent external energy source and without exhibiting back-EMF, which is a fundamental phenomenon in electromechanics. This directly violates the conservation of energy and the laws governing electromagnetic induction.
Unclear. The method describes a cyclic process of dissolving and re-depositing galvanic elements (likely battery electrodes) using a 'formed electrolyte' that is separated and stored. No external energy input is explicitly mentioned, and the claim suggests charging energy can be equal to or less than discharging energy, potentially yielding net energy.
The patent describes a cyclic electrochemical process claiming to store and release energy while maintaining constant element concentrations, implying it can produce net energy output. This violates the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, as it ignores the substantial energy inputs required for electrolyte separation and material re-dissolution, and assumes a lossless cycle.
Unclear. Claims suggest energy is generated from the interaction between permanent magnets and electromagnets without an identified external energy input, implying extraction of work from magnetic fields in a closed cycle.
The device claims to generate 'free energy' using permanent magnets and electromagnets arranged to produce continuous rotation. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it purports to produce net work without an adequate external energy source, and the second law as it describes a cyclic process with no identifiable entropy increase or thermal gradient to drive motion.
Unclear/implied to be magnets themselves. Text claims a magnet is 'material that delivers energy without requiring energy input' and that the device can create energy without solar, thermal, water, coal, petroleum, air, or any other energy source.
The patent describes a 'magnetic field generator of free energy' claiming magnets can deliver energy without requiring input and that the device can operate without any conventional energy source. This is a classic perpetual motion claim, directly violating energy conservation and the laws of thermodynamics, as magnets are not energy sources but systems with stored, finite potential energy.
Unclear. Claims to generate 'propulsive force' using a superconducting coil (1) within a strong magnetic field, implying energy extraction from the magnetic field or the Meissner effect, without a clear primary input energy source for the claimed output.
The claim describes a mechanism to generate propulsive force using a superconducting coil in a magnetic field, heavily relying on the Meissner effect. It fails to account for the substantial energy required to achieve and maintain superconductivity (cryogenics) and to establish the magnetic field. The system cannot produce net useful work exceeding these inputs, constituting a violation of energy conservation.
Unclear. Claims to generate electricity from magnetic 'wings' and magnets arranged in a 'uniform polarization' around a magnetic 'helix'. Implies motion and electricity are generated solely from magnetic fields without an identified external energy input.
The device is described as a magnetic arrangement that spontaneously moves and generates electricity without fuel or an external energy gradient. This is a classic perpetual motion claim, as it violates the conservation of energy. The magnetic forces are internal and cannot provide net work indefinitely.
Unclear. The abstract mentions 'charging energy' being smaller than 'discharging energy' and producing 'extra energy' from galvanic-electrolytic elements, with low-temperature heat conversion. No primary energy source is clearly identified beyond the electrochemical system itself.
The claim describes an electrochemical system where the charging energy is said to be smaller than the discharging energy, producing extra energy. This directly violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) unless an external, unaccounted energy source (like a thermal gradient) is precisely quantified. The vague reference to low-temperature heat conversion, without a specified temperature difference or heat engine mechanism, suggests an attempt to extract net work from ambient heat at equilibrium, which violates the second law.
Unclear. Claims continuous electrical current generation from an electrostatic arrangement of conductors and an insulating body, with no identified external energy input (electrical, chemical, thermal, or ambient).
The patent describes a static arrangement of conductors and insulators claimed to generate a continuous electrical current. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the first kind, as it produces energy from no apparent source, directly violating the law of energy conservation and the second law of thermodynamics.
Unclear. Implied to be from the programmed electron itself, with oxygen as an environmental component. No explicit primary energy input (e.g., electrical, chemical) is specified for the claimed outputs of unlimited data storage or energy generation.
The device claims to generate energy and store unlimited data by manipulating a single electron's trajectory with programmed pulses in an oxygen environment, but provides no identifiable external energy source. This violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation), as the claimed outputs require energy that is not accounted for in the described inputs.
Unclear. Claims electrical pulse generator input, but also suggests conductor absorbs external/ambient energy. No clear, quantified ambient energy gradient (thermal, radiative, etc.) is specified.
The claim explicitly states the output energy exceeds the electrical input energy, which violates the first law of thermodynamics. The described mechanism of a conductor absorbing vague 'external energy' from pulses lacks a credible, quantified source to justify the claimed gain, making it a perpetual motion claim.
The described system (electric motor driving a wheel, which drives a generator to recharge a battery) has no external energy source beyond the initial battery charge. It implicitly suggests the generator can recharge the battery to a level greater than or equal to what the motor consumes.
The device is a classic 'over-unity' or perpetual motion violation. It uses a battery to power a motor that drives a generator to recharge the same battery, which is impossible due to energy losses. No external energy source is described, so the system cannot create net energy for home use or sale.
Primary input is electrical current from a battery or source. The claimed additional energy comes from radioactive decay emissions (beta/alpha particles, gamma rays) interacting with a conductor and its magnetic field.
The device claims to amplify electrical current by passing it through a conductor influenced by radioactive material. This violates the First Law of Thermodynamics, as the total output electrical energy cannot exceed the sum of the input electrical energy and the captured decay energy from the radioactive source. The description uses correct physics terms (induction, flux lines) but applies them incorrectly to suggest energy multiplication.
Unclear. The patent text suggests the spinning disk with nano-features itself generates mechanical or magnetic force 'for producing power by the presence or the absence of matter on a spinning disk.' The only explicit input appears to be the electrical energy to spin the disk. No external energy gradient (e.g., thermal, gravitational potential, ambient radiation) is identified as the source for the claimed generated power.
The device claims to generate power using a spinning disk with nano-features, but identifies no external energy source to convert. Any force or induced current measured would simply extract energy from the disk's rotation, requiring continuous motor input to maintain spin. This constitutes a violation of energy conservation, presenting as a perpetual motion scheme.
Unclear. The only explicit input is the electrical current to create/maintain superconductivity. The claim implies net electrical generation from the acceleration/deceleration of Cooper pairs in a curved path, suggesting gravity or the geometry itself is the source.
The claim describes a superconducting wire in a specific winding pattern but provides no physical mechanism for a net energy gain. It attempts to use correct terminology (Cooper pairs, superconductivity) to obfuscate the core violation: it proposes a system that would generate electricity without an identifiable external energy source, directly contradicting the law of conservation of energy.
Unclear/Unspecified. The claim explicitly states operation 'without the use of energy' and 'without fuel. Or any source at all of energy', which is physically impossible for a system producing net electrical output.

Unclear. Claims energy generation from 'parametric excitation of the fundamental energy level of the field corresponding to the vacuum' via Josephson junction loops, with subsequent photoelectric conversion in a semiconductor. The primary input appears to be electrical pulses from a switching system, but the claim suggests excess energy is generated from the vacuum/ground state.
The patent describes a circuit that allegedly generates supplemental electrical energy by exciting the quantum vacuum ground state using Josephson junction loops and converting resulting photons via the photoelectric effect. This constitutes a claim of energy extraction from a zero-point energy reservoir without a thermodynamic gradient, which violates the second law of thermodynamics. The use of correct physics terms (Josephson junctions, parametric excitation, photoelectric effect) in an incorrect context to suggest net energy generation is characteristic of pseudoscientific energy claims.
Claims to extract electrical energy from the quantum vacuum (virtual photons) via periodic switching of ferroelectric polarization and Møller scattering.
The patent claims to generate electricity from the quantum vacuum, which is thermodynamically impossible as it attempts to extract net work from an equilibrium state with no usable energy gradient. It misuses advanced physics terms (Møller scattering, virtual photons) to obfuscate a fundamental violation of energy conservation.
Unclear. Claims to generate electrical energy from permanent magnets arranged in a novel configuration, with no external energy input described.
The device is a permanent magnet motor claiming to generate electricity without an external energy source. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation), as the static magnetic field is a conservative force field from which no net work can be extracted over a cycle. The supporting 'new magnetic system' theory lacks a basis in established physics.
Claimed to be electrical input (DC, AC, or three-phase AC) to the motor structure, with no other explicit energy source identified.
The device claims to be an electric motor that produces torque via Lorentz forces without using coils, magnets, or a changing magnetic flux core, which is fundamentally impossible. It misapplies the concept of memristors and Lorentz force law, describing a passive resistive network that would only dissipate electrical energy as heat, not convert it to sustained mechanical work.
The only explicit energy input is the auxiliary motor. The apparatus attempts to use permanent magnets (a static, non-depleting potential field) to generate continuous rotary power.
This device attempts to generate continuous rotary power by cleverly modulating magnetic repulsion between permanent magnets. Since magnets are a conservative force field, no net work can be extracted over a complete cycle without an external energy input to change the magnetic configuration, violating energy conservation. The auxiliary motor admission reveals the need for an external power input.
Claimed to be the difference in work functions between two materials, which is an internal chemical potential (Fermi level) difference, not an external energy source.
The device describes a closed circuit where the claimed driving force—the work function difference—creates only a brief transient current as the system reaches equilibrium. For continuous current, it proposes a loop where electrons magically gain energy each cycle with no external input, directly violating the law of conservation of energy.
Claimed to convert thermal energy from a temperature gradient (hot and cold sections) into mechanical work via expansion/contraction of a fluid medium, with magnetic coupling to external components.
This device claims to produce continuous mechanical work from a temperature difference alone, but describes a cycle where fluid expansion does work while contraction happens passively—violating the 2nd law. No complete thermodynamic cycle is possible without external work input during the compression phase, making this a thermal perpetual motion machine.
Electrical power supply to stator coils, claimed to produce continuous forward thrust via magnetic repulsion/attraction between permanent magnet rotors and electromagnet stators arranged in a specific configuration.
This magnetic propulsion device claims to generate continuous forward thrust using only internal magnetic repulsion/attraction between its components, which violates Newton's third law as internal forces cannot produce net acceleration on a closed system. The patent describes complex electromagnetic arrangements but provides no valid mechanism for converting electrical energy into net propulsion without external reaction.
Unclear/unspecified. Claims describe a 'first magnetic device' and 'second magnetic device' that generate 'repulsive or attractive force' between them without identifying any external energy input.
The patent describes a system where magnetic devices generate forces between themselves without any identifiable external energy input, implying creation of energy from a static configuration.

It appears to claim energy generation solely from the material's own temperature gradient without maintaining that gradient via an external source.
The patent claims a device that generates electricity using a temperature difference created within a ceramic material, but provides no mechanism to maintain that temperature gradient against the equalizing effect of the generated current (Joule heating).

The device claims to produce continuous mechanical work and heat using only the repulsive force between fixed permanent magnets. This violates the law of conservation of energy, as the magnetic potential energy is finite and conservative; continuous rotation would require an external energy source to periodically do work against the magnetic forces to reset the system.
Unspecified. The patent describes a static, two-layer structure (polymer/graphite) with no explicit input of energy (e.g., thermal gradient, light, mechanical stress, chemical reaction).
The device is described as a simple bilayer laminate with electrical contacts, claiming to be an electric generator.

Unclear/implied to be from internal stress gradient in a material at uniform temperature, with no external temperature gradient or explicit energy input described.
The patent claims a method to generate electricity from heat using a material with an internal stress gradient, but explicitly states it operates in a uniform temperature environment without needing a temperature difference. This directly violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it claims to produce net work from a single thermal reservoir. The use of complex materials science terms (flexoelectric effect, chemical redox) obfuscates the fundamental thermodynamic impossibility of the core claim.
Ambient magnetic potential energy from permanent magnets, with an auxiliary motor providing initial/continuous rotational input.
The apparatus attempts to create continuous rotary power by manipulating magnetic repulsion between fixed and moving permanent magnets. This is a classic magnetic perpetual motion scheme, as it aims to extract net work from a conservative force field (magnetostatics) without an external, depletable energy source to drive the cycle, violating energy conservation.

The device is described as a static layered structure that claims to generate a continuous electric potential at any temperature above absolute zero. This is a textbook violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it purports to do useful work by extracting energy from a single thermal reservoir at equilibrium, with no identified compensating entropy increase elsewhere.
Unclear. The claim implies propulsion is generated by accelerating/decelerating relativistic electron/positron streams in curved tubes, but the energy source to create, contain, and manipulate these streams is not specified.

Claimed to be solar radiation (thermal and/or luminous) incident on vanes with absorbing/reflective faces, causing rotation in a vacuum.
The device claims to generate electricity by using radiation to spin a rotor in a vacuum, which then induces current in a solenoid.

Claimed to be magnetic repulsion between permanent magnets with like poles facing each other, with no external energy input mentioned.
The device is a permanent magnet motor that claims to produce continuous rotation from magnetic repulsion alone.

Unclear. The device appears to claim generation of a net upward electromagnetic force from internal current arrangements in superconducting and normal conductors, with no external energy input specified beyond possibly maintaining superconductors at low temperature.
The device claims to produce a net unidirectional electromagnetic propulsion force using only internal currents in a closed system.

Electrical input to coils (high voltage, ≥1A current). Claims to generate additional lifting force through magnetic repulsion/attraction between coils and a mechanical lever system.
The system attempts to generate lift for vertical takeoff using only internal magnetic forces and levers, which violates Newton's laws of motion. Internal forces cannot propel a vehicle's center of mass; an external reaction is required. This is a classic 'propellentless propulsion' violation.
Electrical input from the power source, plus ambient thermal energy at room temperature. The claim implicitly suggests the electrical input is the sole controlled energy source for the alleged mass increase and propulsion.
The device claims to temporarily increase the mass of metalloids using only electrical power at room temperature, and to use this modulation to generate propulsion.

In a closed system with only permanent magnets, no net work can be extracted over a cycle because magnetic forces are conservative and the system lacks an external energy source, directly violating energy conservation.
Unclear. The device appears to be a magnetic generator with moving magnets, fixed magnets, and magnetic repulsion plates. No external energy input (electrical, mechanical, thermal, or environmental) is described to initiate or sustain motion.
The patent describes a magnetic generator with no specified source of energy to initiate or maintain rotation against losses. It attempts to generate electricity solely from the arrangement of permanent magnets, which are a conservative energy source, making it a perpetual motion machine of the first kind and a clear violation of the law of conservation of energy.
Unclear. The device is described as a 'natural energy backside power generation device' but provides no identifiable energy input mechanism. The structure consists of incomplete and complete stainless steel rings and eight iron cores arranged concentrically, with no mention of thermal gradients, light, motion, chemical reactions, or any other energy source.
This patent describes a passive assembly of metal rings and cores that claims to generate electricity from 'natural energy' without specifying any energy input source or conversion process. The static, enclosed structure cannot perform work or generate net electrical output without an external energy source, constituting a clear violation of energy conservation laws.

The patent describes a device that claims to convert ambient thermal energy into electrical energy using a multi-junction structure. This directly violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it attempts to produce net work from a single temperature reservoir without a heat sink, which is thermodynamically impossible. The description lacks a valid energy conversion mechanism that respects Carnot limits.
Unclear. Claims imply a propulsive force is generated solely from magnetic fields contained within a superconducting shield, with electrical input to the solenoid(s) and cryogenic cooling as the only explicit energy inputs.
The described apparatus is an internally closed magnetic system. Generating a sustained propulsive force (net thrust) requires expelling momentum via reaction mass or radiation; the patent describes no such exhaust or external interaction, violating conservation of momentum.
Unclear. The device appears to use a 'heat storage body' (熱貯藏體) between a 'heat receiving body' (受熱體) and a 'heat radiating body' (放熱體), with claims of energy transfer and circulation via 'O-rings' and 'circulation paths'. No primary external energy input (electrical, chemical, solar gradient) is explicitly stated, implying it may claim to operate on ambient heat alone.
The patent describes a closed thermal system with no identifiable external energy source or sufficient temperature gradient, claiming a self-sustaining heat circulation that can perform work. This directly violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, constituting a perpetual motion machine.
Claimed to be the material's internal energy, extracted without raising its temperature above ambient.
The device claims to generate useful work by cyclically depleting a material's internal energy without any external energy input or a temperature difference. This directly violates the first and second laws of thermodynamics, as it is impossible to extract net work from an isothermal system at equilibrium.
Unclear. Claims to convert 'magnetic potential energy' into 'rotational kinetic energy' through a 'magnetic potential difference' without identifying an external energy input or gradient to sustain the conversion.
The patent describes a device that claims to produce continuous rotational kinetic energy solely from the 'magnetic potential difference' of arranged permanent magnets, with no external energy input.

Unclear. The text describes complex magnetic circuits and interactions (magnetic flux concentrators, magnetic field generators, magnetic flux paths) but provides no explicit external energy input. It implies energy generation from the magnetic configuration itself.
The patent describes a magnetic circuit apparatus that appears to be a closed system with no external energy input, yet claims to generate force/power. This is a classic violation of the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation), as it purports to create energy from the magnetic configuration alone, which is impossible without an external source or a consumable gradient.
Unclear. Claims suggest extracting energy from ambient temperature differences ('제백 현상의 열-전기' translates to 'ambient temperature's low-high conversion'), but the described mechanism appears to create a gradient from an equilibrium state without an external energy source to maintain it.
The patent describes a device that claims to convert ambient temperature into useful work by creating and utilizing a temperature gradient.

The claim describes generating electricity from a rotating body using a magnetic field, but provides no source of energy to initiate or sustain the rotation against losses. This suggests an attempt to extract net work from a static magnetic field, which violates the first law of thermodynamics as it lacks a clear, external energy input.
Electrical input to power the lasers. Claims to use photon momentum/force from these lasers to generate a net propulsive force on the aluminum plate.
The described device attempts to generate net propulsion using only internal photon pressure from its own lasers, which is impossible by conservation of momentum. The use of physics terms like F=qE and photon fields is incorrect in this context, indicating a fundamental violation of Newtonian mechanics.
The Casimir force itself, a quantum vacuum fluctuation phenomenon, is proposed as the sole energy source to perform continuous mechanical work.
The patent attempts to extract continuous work from the static Casimir force, a conservative potential. This is thermodynamically impossible because any work done during one part of a cycle must be paid back to reset the system, resulting in zero net work output. It violates energy conservation by implying creation of energy from a static potential.
Claimed to be the permanent magnet itself, with no external energy input or gradient.
The device claims to generate a permanent electric current from a static magnet and conductor, which is impossible as it violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation). A static magnetic field cannot do work on charges at rest; induction requires a changing magnetic flux.
Claimed to be 'Nulpunt-energie' (zero-point energy) extracted from the vacuum, with electrical input presumably required to create the oscillating electromagnetic fields.
The claim directly violates the second law of thermodynamics by proposing to extract net useful energy (zero-point energy) from a quantum vacuum ground state without a lower-energy reservoir, constituting a perpetual motion machine of the third kind. The use of correct-sounding physics terms ('zero-point energy', 'phase difference', 'oscillating fields') obfuscates this fundamental violation.
Unclear. Claims to directly convert 'natural gravity-causing currents' and harness electron 'Zitterbewegung' (intrinsic quantum jitter) through geometric arrangements, comparing it to an open system like a hydroelectric plant.
The patent claims violate core physics principles. It attempts to extract net electrical energy from the equilibrium quantum 'Zitterbewegung' of electrons and from gravity without a consumable gradient, which is thermodynamically impossible. The description uses advanced physics terms incorrectly to obfuscate the lack of a real, identifiable energy source.
Electrical input to electrodes, antennas, and plasma generation systems. Claims imply additional propulsive energy is extracted from modulation of the 'physical vacuum' or gravitational/inertial fields.
The claim proposes a propulsion system that generates thrust without expelling reaction mass, directly violating the conservation of momentum. Its proposed mechanism relies on altering fundamental constants (gravito-inertial mass) via an unverified and non-standard theory, placing it in the realm of speculative physics with no experimental support against established laws.
Unclear. The described energy inputs are the work required to spin and cool the masses. The claimed output is a novel 'gravitomagnetic field' and Lorentz-like force, implying energy extraction from an undefined source, likely purported to be from gravity itself or a vacuum state.
The claim violates core physics principles by proposing to generate a novel force field and extract work without a legitimate, identified energy source, relying on an undefined 'Gravito-Ferromagnetism' phenomenon. This constitutes a perpetual motion scheme of the first kind (energy from nothing).
Unclear. Implicitly claims to convert 'Nulpunt-Energie' (zero-point energy) or ambient thermal energy (Brownian motion) into directed electrical current using a permanent magnet and conductive plates.
The device claims to generate electrical energy by rectifying the Brownian motion of electrons using a static magnetic field. This is thermodynamically impossible, as a permanent magnet cannot create a preferred direction for charge carriers from thermal noise alone to perform net work, violating the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Unclear. Claims to use 'moisture in the air' (humidity gradient) and 'temperature difference' (thermal gradient) to generate electricity, but the described mechanism suggests energy extraction from a single thermal reservoir without a compensating sink.
The patent describes a device that claims to generate electrical power using only ambient air moisture and temperature differences. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, as it attempts to produce work from a single thermal reservoir (the ambient air) without a compensating heat sink, directly violating the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Electrical input to drive the embedded motor and create electromagnetic fields. Claims also imply gravitational field interaction as an additional energy source.
The device is described as a closed-loop liquid rotor in a gravitational field, claiming a non-zero net projection of centrifugal force from the interaction of the rotating fluid with gravity. This is physically impossible; in a closed loop, any local centrifugal force variation is balanced by opposing forces, resulting in zero net work extractable from the static gravitational field. The description uses complex, vague language to obscure this fundamental violation of energy conservation.
Electrical input from an onboard power source (explicit). Claims to produce net thrust without expelling mass or interacting with any external field or medium (implicitly suggests no other energy input).
The device claims to propel itself using only internal electrical forces between its own conductors, with no expulsion of mass or external interaction. This is a direct violation of conservation of momentum, as a closed system cannot generate a net internal force to accelerate its own center of mass.
Unclear. The claim suggests using two identically-poled electromagnets stacked on top of each other to generate lift, with a 'magnet centrifuge' to distribute the magnetic field. No primary energy source for propulsion is identified beyond the electrical input to the electromagnets.
The described device is a form of a 'magnetic drive' that attempts to generate net thrust using only internal forces, which violates the conservation of momentum. Without expelling reaction mass or interacting with an external field gradient, it cannot produce lift for a spacecraft, making it a perpetual motion device of the first kind.
Electrical input to the conductive plates. Claims imply generation of a net propulsive force from internal electromagnetic interactions alone.
The device claims to propel a body using only internal electromagnetic forces between its own components, which is a clear violation of momentum conservation. No external energy or momentum sink is identified, making it a form of reactionless drive, which is physically impossible.
Electrical input to motors rotating the superconducting body. No identified mechanism for converting this rotational kinetic energy into a novel gravitational field.
The claim proposes generating a controllable gravitational field through the complex rotation of a superconducting object. This violates established physics as it posits a new, powerful coupling between quantum states/rotation and spacetime curvature that has no basis in General Relativity or quantum field theory, and the described effects are many orders of magnitude beyond what is physically possible with the proposed setup.
Incident light is the claimed energy source, but the mechanism describes a transformation that allegedly produces 'perpetual refraction' and 'perpetual motion'.
The patent claims directly invoke 'perpetual motion,' which is a thermodynamic impossibility. The description uses correct physics terms like 'refraction' but applies them to a vague mechanism that claims to produce continuous rotation without accounting for losses or respecting the conservation of energy.
Unclear. The claim describes extracting energy from 'air pressure' or 'atmospheric pressure' without identifying an energy gradient or input work source. Ambient atmospheric pressure is an equilibrium state, not an energy source.
The patent claim describes extracting energy from atmospheric air pressure. Since ambient atmospheric pressure is an equilibrium state, extracting net work from it without an external energy source or gradient violates both the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics. This is a classic perpetual motion claim of the first kind.
Claimed source: Energy extracted from Earth's static magnetic field via intermittent shielding. True source: The mechanical/electrical work required to move/operate the shielding barrier.
The core claim violates the law of energy conservation. Shielding and unshielding a region from Earth's static magnetic field requires work to overcome magnetic forces. The electrical energy generated cannot exceed the mechanical work input to operate the shield, making it an inefficient transducer at best, not a net power source.
Unclear. The described mechanism suggests converting magnetic potential energy from magnet repulsion into electrical energy via induction, but provides no means to reset the magnets' positions without external work input.
The device claims to generate a constant electricity supply solely from repelling magnets in an enclosure. This violates energy conservation, as the magnetic force is conservative; any energy extracted via induction would quickly stop once the magnets reach a stable, minimum-energy configuration, with no described process to reintroduce energy to sustain the cycle.
Unclear. Claim states 'small amount of energy' is used to create shielding fields, but no mechanism is provided to explain how this energy is converted into net directional thrust. The description implies the shield itself generates reactionless force.
The system claims to produce directional thrust without expelling reaction mass, directly violating conservation of momentum. Its description of inertia and aether interaction is pseudoscientific, using physics terminology incorrectly without a coherent mechanism for momentum transfer or energy conversion.
Claimed to be an attractive force between mass and electric charge, with no identifiable external energy input. The electrical potential mentioned would require energy input, but the claim implies the motor's rotation is driven primarily by this novel force, not by the electrical input doing work.
The device claims to produce rotational motion from a purported new force between charge and mass, which contradicts known physics. The description implies energy can be extracted by braking the rotor, suggesting a perpetual motion scheme where the electrical input to create the potential is less than the mechanical and generated electrical output.
Ambient thermal energy (kinetic energy of working substance molecules). Claims to convert this directly into useful work.
The system claims to convert the random kinetic energy of ambient gas molecules directly into useful work. This is thermodynamically impossible as it constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, violating the Kelvin-Planck statement by producing net work from a single thermal reservoir with no compensating heat rejection to a colder sink.
Claims to extract 'Raumenergie' (space energy/dark energy) from the physical vacuum using asymmetric electric fields, with no identifiable conventional energy input.
The device claims to generate electricity or thrust by extracting 'space energy' from the vacuum using shaped electrodes. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) by proposing a net energy output from an equilibrium state with no identifiable high-potential energy source, and misuses theoretical physics concepts like dark energy.
Unspecified. Claims energy is released simply by bringing charge and mass into proximity, implying a novel, fundamental energy source not recognized by established physics.
The patent claims violate the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) by asserting that useful work and energy can be generated solely by bringing mass and charge close together, with no identifiable energy input to account for the output. It invokes a pseudoscientific concept to propose a perpetual motion machine of the first kind.
Claimed to be solely from an applied high voltage electrical input.
The device claims to generate a net thrust force from a high-voltage, asymmetric capacitor enclosed in a zero-potential casing. As a closed system with no expelled propellant, emitted radiation, or interaction with an external field, it cannot produce net momentum, directly violating conservation of momentum. This is a form of reactionless propulsion, which is impossible under Newtonian and relativistic physics.
Unclear. Claims suggest extracting work from ambient humidity (water vapor) and using it to generate electricity, but the described mechanism lacks a coherent, thermodynamically permissible energy gradient.
The patent describes a device that appears to extract electrical energy directly from ambient water vapor. This violates thermodynamic principles because extracting net work from a homogeneous, equilibrium humidity source at ambient temperature is impossible without a lower-temperature sink or another external energy input to create a usable gradient.
Unclear. Implied to be the intrinsic magnetic energy of permanent ferromagnetic materials (ferrite, nickel, cobalt, neodymium). No external energy input (electrical, chemical, ambient gradient) is described for replenishment.
The device claims to move vehicles using only the force between permanent magnets, positioning this as a limitless, transportable energy source. This is a classic violation of the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation), as a static arrangement of permanent magnets cannot produce net work indefinitely without an external energy input to reset the system.
Unclear. The patent describes a device generating fields with 'field mass' and angular momentum, implying the input is electrical energy to the solenoids and electrets, but the claimed rotational output suggests a reactionless propulsion mechanism.
The device claims to generate rotation (net momentum change) solely through the creation and manipulation of internal electromagnetic fields, with no external reaction mass or momentum sink. This is a reactionless drive, a clear violation of conservation of momentum.
Claimed to be the rotational kinetic energy of the device itself, with the centrifugal force acting differently on electrons in two different conductors to create a sustained voltage and current.
The device claims to generate usable electrical voltage solely by rotating two different conductors connected in series, arguing that centrifugal force separates electrons based on speed or density differences. This is thermodynamically impossible as it attempts to create a sustained voltage and current from a single thermal environment without an external energy source, effectively describing a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Unclear/unspecified. The patent describes a 'Masse Ladungs Kraft' (mass charge force) that allegedly acts on mass alone, but provides no physical mechanism or energy input for this force. It claims to generate energy by lifting or accelerating a mass and then harvesting work as it falls or decelerates.
This patent describes a classic perpetual motion violation: it proposes to use an unspecified, non-conservative force to lift or accelerate a mass, then harvest more work from the mass's return than was supposedly input. The 'Masse Ladungs Kraft' is an invented concept with no basis in known physics, and the complete cycle would violate energy conservation by producing net work from nothing.
Electrical energy stored in a capacitor (explicit). Implicitly claims a novel fundamental force ('mass-charge attraction') as an energy conversion mechanism.
The patent's core premise relies on a fictional 'mass-charge attraction' force that does not exist in physics. The described devices (levitating vehicles, recoil-less accelerators) violate Newton's laws of motion and conservation of momentum, as they claim to produce net force or acceleration from an internal electrostatic system alone.
Unclear. Claims to extract work from the 'Masse-Ladungs-Kraft' (mass-charge force) between an object's mass and stored capacitor charge, implying energy from the mass-charge interaction itself.
The claim violates energy conservation by proposing a mechanism to generate motion from a static mass-charge configuration without an identifiable external energy source or gradient. It invokes a fictitious fundamental force to obscure the lack of a valid energy input, constituting a perpetual motion scheme.
Claimed to be a novel 'mass-charge force' between mass and electric charge, with electrical energy input to charge capacitors cyclically.
The device claims to generate rotational work using a purported 'mass-charge force,' which is not a recognized interaction in physics. The described cyclic operation, powered only by electrical charging of capacitors, would violate the conservation of energy if it produced net mechanical output, constituting a perpetual motion machine of the first kind.
Unclear. The text describes converting 'ambient energy' into useful work using 'ambient energy amplification devices' and 'self-amplifying energy devices', but fails to specify a legitimate external energy gradient or input. Mentions using 'atmospheric pressure' and 'air molecules', suggesting it may attempt to extract work from ambient thermal energy at equilibrium.
The patent describes a device that claims to amplify ambient energy (like air pressure) to produce useful work. This is a classic violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it attempts to extract net work from a system in thermal equilibrium without a compensating energy input or heat rejection to a lower temperature sink.
Unclear. Implied to be solely from the magnetic interaction between fixed cylindrical magnet and angled bar magnets on the rotor, with no identified external input.
The device claims to produce continuous rotary motion and brush three brush heads using only a fixed arrangement of magnets, with no external energy input. This is a classic magnetic perpetual motion claim, as the magnetic forces are conservative and cannot do net work over a cycle without an external energy source to reset the system.
Claims energy originates from nuclear transmutation of copper atoms (⁶³Cu to ⁶³Ni or ⁶⁴Ni) within generator windings, driven by the rotor's mechanical rotation and excitation field.
The patent describes a fantastical energy conversion and transport mechanism based on impossible nuclear physics (continuous, low-energy transmutation of copper to nickel and electron-positron pair creation/annihilation) to explain ordinary generator operation. It violates conservation of energy and established particle physics, using correct terminology in a fundamentally incorrect and incoherent manner.
Claims to use permanent magnets arranged to create rotation without external energy input, implying extraction of work from magnetic fields alone.
This device claims to generate continuous rotational motion using only permanent magnets arranged in a specific configuration, which would violate the first law of thermodynamics. Static magnetic fields in equilibrium cannot perform net work over a cycle without an external energy source, making this a perpetual motion machine of the first kind.
Ambient air temperature fluctuations and optional hand warmth. The device uses a thermoelectric element (Peltier/Seebeck) between an insulated thermal mass and the environment.
The patent describes a device that claims to generate electricity from air temperature fluctuations using a thermoelectric element and an insulated thermal mass. This is a thermodynamic violation because a thermoelectric generator requires a sustained temperature *difference* to produce power, not just the temporal variation of a single temperature. The system lacks a genuine cold reservoir, meaning it attempts to extract net work from a state of thermal equilibrium, which is impossible per the Second Law.
Unclear. Claims suggest magnetic interactions alone produce continuous rotation without an identifiable external energy input. Mentions 'control magnets' but doesn't specify any energy input to change magnetic configurations or overcome losses.
The patent describes a magnetic motor that claims to produce continuous rotation using only permanent magnets and control magnets. This is a classic perpetual motion machine claim, as it violates energy conservation by proposing to extract net work from a closed system of magnets without an external energy input to reset the magnetic potential.
Unclear. Claims to extract power from Earth's rotation and displacement from its orbital plane, focusing atoms/ions via a bowl shape. Mentions ambient electromagnetic radiation and thermal coefficients, but no coherent, identifiable primary energy input mechanism.
The device claims to extract useful power from the Earth's rotation without any external energy gradient or reaction mass, directly violating conservation of angular momentum and energy. The description is a collection of misused physics terms (Coriolis, dielectric attenuation, thermal coefficients) forming no coherent, lawful energy conversion process.
Unclear. The device is described as a 'gravity motor' and includes an 'electro gear motor' (implying an electrical input), but the core claim is the generation of electrical energy from gravity via a closed system of levers, weights, and cams.
The device is a gravity-powered perpetual motion machine. It claims to generate electricity using weights and levers in a closed cycle, violating energy conservation because the work done to lift the weights (restoring their gravitational potential) must equal or exceed the work extracted during their descent.
Unclear. Claims to convert magnetic energy into mechanical work using only permanent magnets and mechanical linkages, with no external energy input mentioned.
The device claims to produce mechanical work solely through permanent magnet interactions without any external energy input, violating conservation of energy. The description uses complex mechanical terminology to obscure the fundamental thermodynamic impossibility of extracting net work from a closed system of permanent magnets.
Unclear. Claims a 'matter block' naturally generates free electrons, stimulated by an antenna radiating 'wave energy'. No identifiable primary energy input (chemical, thermal, solar, etc.) is specified. Implicitly suggests electrons are generated from the material itself without an energy source to overcome work functions or maintain a potential.
The device claims a block of matter naturally and continuously generates free electrons, which are then compressed against an electrode to produce electricity. This violates charge conservation and the first law of thermodynamics, as it proposes a net creation of electrical charge and energy from an unspecified source. The description uses obfuscating pseudo-scientific terms like 'magnetic fluid' and 'wave energy' without a physically coherent mechanism.
Unclear. The text describes using 'air pressure' to create a 'structure' that generates electricity, suggesting it attempts to extract work from ambient atmospheric pressure without creating or maintaining a necessary thermodynamic gradient.
The described device claims to generate electricity using only ambient air pressure to activate a structure. This violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as extracting net work from a single, isothermal reservoir (the atmosphere) without a compensating energy input or a maintained gradient is impossible. The claim confuses static pressure with a source of continuous energy flow.
Unclear. The text describes magnetic interactions (S and N poles) between a rotating magnet (1) and a stationary magnet (3), suggesting energy is extracted from the magnetic field arrangement without identifying an external energy input to sustain the motion.
The device claims to generate heat power through magnetic interactions between rotating and stationary magnets, implying a continuous energy output. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the first kind, as it violates energy conservation by extracting work from a conservative magnetic field without an identifiable external energy source to replenish losses.
Claims to extract energy from 'high frequency zero point electromagnetic radiation' (a quantum vacuum fluctuation background). No external power input or ambient gradient (e.g., thermal, solar) is specified as the driver.
The patent claims to generate electricity from the quantum vacuum's zero-point energy. This violates thermodynamics because the zero-point field is in its ground state; extracting net work from it without an external gradient or input is impossible, equivalent to perpetual motion of the third kind.
Claimed to be the magnetic repulsion between fixed and moving permanent magnets, with no external energy input.
The device is a classic magnetic perpetual motion machine. It attempts to generate continuous rotation using only fixed and moving permanent magnets, violating energy conservation because the magnetic force is conservative and cannot provide net work over a closed cycle without an external energy source.
Claimed to be from a patented 'circuit électrique fixe' (fixed electrical circuit) that allegedly provides 24 amps, with suggestions to increase amperage by adding coils and modifying resistance. No primary energy source (battery, generator, external power) is identified for this circuit.

Unclear. Claims suggest energy is generated from vacuum, magnetic arrangements, and fractal geometry without identifying a legitimate external energy gradient or input.
The patent describes a device using fractal vacuum chambers and magnetic arrangements to supposedly generate electrical power, but provides no legitimate external energy source or gradient. It violates energy conservation by implying net work can be extracted from geometric configurations and vacuum alone, which is thermodynamically impossible.
Electrical power from an external source (power source 44) is the only explicitly stated input.
The device claims to produce a net forward thrust by manipulating internal magnetic fields. However, as a closed system with no external reaction mass or momentum sink, this violates Newton's third law and the conservation of momentum. The electrical input energy is merely converted to electromagnetic energy and heat within the device, not to net propulsion.
Unclear. The text describes magnetic interactions (N/S poles) and claims to convert 'cold' to 'heat' or generate electricity from ambient temperature differences, but lacks specification of an external energy input.
The patent describes a magnetic system that claims to generate electricity or convert 'cold to heat' using ambient temperature, which is thermodynamically impossible. It attempts to extract net work from an equilibrium state (no sustained gradient), directly violating both the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
Unclear. Claims to convert energy of a flowing medium (e.g., water) via manipulation of 'spin precession' using alternating magnets and coils.
The patent describes a device that appears to attempt to extract electrical energy from flowing water using magnetically altered 'spin precession', a concept that is physically nonsensical for a diamagnetic fluid like water. The proposed passive arrangement of magnets and coils cannot induce voltage from steady flow as described, violating fundamental electromagnetic induction principles. The language uses correct physics terms ('spin precession', 'induction') in an incorrect and obfuscating manner.
Claimed to be an isolated electrostatic system with no external energy input after initial charge separation/field creation. Implicitly, the initial electrical energy stored in the capacitor-like structure is the only input.
The patent describes an isolated system that claims to produce a net propulsive force or motive power using only internal, asymmetric electrostatic forces. This is a direct violation of Newton's laws of motion for closed systems, as internal forces cannot produce net acceleration regardless of their geometry or symmetry breaking.
Electrical input from transmitter of electromagnetic energy (explicit). Implicitly suggests propulsive force arises from interaction with ambient 'ether' or vacuum without identifying a valid external energy reservoir or momentum-conserving reaction mass.
The system claims to generate a propulsive force using only electrical energy and sharp pointed structures, with no expulsion of mass or interaction with an external medium. This violates conservation of momentum, a fundamental law of physics. The described apparatus functions as a closed system and cannot produce net thrust.
Unclear. Implied to be electrical input to generate magnetic fields, but the claimed thrust mechanism suggests energy is being created from the magnetic field interaction itself, not from propellant reaction mass.
The device claims propulsion by 'ejecting' magnetic field pulses, but magnetic fields alone are not reaction mass. For a system to accelerate, it must expel mass rearward; the described internal manipulation of fields cannot produce net thrust on the vehicle. This violates conservation of momentum.

Electrical input to the coils (implied but not specified). No external momentum source or reaction mass is identified. The device appears to be an internal electromagnetic system attempting to generate net thrust.
The device is an 'electromagnetic thruster' with three coils but describes no external interaction for momentum exchange. Generating net thrust solely through internal electromagnetic forces violates conservation of momentum, making it a reactionless drive, which is physically impossible.
Unclear. Text suggests heat transfer from a particle ensemble, but the description implies the possibility of extracting useful work (exergy) while maintaining the input state via feedback, which is thermodynamically problematic.
The patent claims describe a process for energy conversion and cooling using vague geometric transformations and feedback, implying the generation of useful work (exergy) from heat transfer while supposedly maintaining the system's initial energetic state. This violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it suggests a perpetual reduction of entropy without a compensating increase elsewhere. The language is deliberately obscure, masking the lack of a physically coherent mechanism.
Ambient thermal energy (kinetic energy of electrons in a solid at equilibrium). The claim implies extracting electrical energy directly from the random thermal motion of electrons in a material at a uniform temperature, using only a magnetic field and geometric shaping.
The patent describes a device intended to generate electricity by harnessing the random thermal motion of electrons in a solid using a magnetic field and curved surfaces. This is thermodynamically impossible, as it constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, attempting to convert ambient heat directly into work without a compensating entropy increase elsewhere.
Electrical input to generate oscillating currents in the conductors. The claim implicitly suggests the system can produce a net propulsive force (thrust) from this internal electrical energy alone.
The claim describes a closed electromagnetic system where internal forces between two conductors are purported to create a net propulsive force for spacecraft. This is a direct violation of the conservation of momentum, a fundamental law of physics. No mechanism is provided to exchange momentum with an external entity, making it a form of reactionless drive, which is impossible.
Ambient gravitational potential energy, claimed to be accessed via a 'graviton diode' that asymmetrically shields gravitational force.
The claim violates the conservation of energy by proposing a device that generates continuous mechanical work from Earth's static gravitational field without lowering a mass or consuming another energy source. It uses obfuscating pseudo-scientific terms ('graviton diode') to propose a mechanism for asymmetric force shielding that has no basis in established physics.
Unclear. Implied to be electrical input to the toroid coil and circuits, but the claimed 'relativistic velocity' circular motion of fields and resulting 'restoring force' for propulsion suggests an attempt to extract net momentum/thrust without a clear reaction mass or external field gradient.
The device claims to produce propulsive thrust by manipulating self-generated magnetic fields with shields, forcing fields into relativistic circular motion to create a net linear force. This violates momentum conservation, as there is no external reaction mass or ambient field gradient to push against, and the energy requirements for 'relativistic' field motion are ignored.
Claimed to be a single high-temperature heat reservoir (ambient heat), with no identified low-temperature reservoir for waste heat rejection.
The device is described as a heat engine that converts thermal energy directly into work using only a single heat source and no cold sink, which is a textbook violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The magnetocaloric effect and superconductivity do not circumvent the fundamental requirement for a temperature difference to produce net work in a cyclic process.
Ambient/Environmental energy (unspecified, implied to be extracted via magnetic nuclear resonance). No explicit input energy source is defined, suggesting the device is intended to be a prime mover.
The patent describes a device that claims to convert ambient energy into electricity without identifying a specific, finite energy source or gradient to exploit. This constitutes a perpetual motion claim, as it violates energy conservation by implying useful work can be extracted from an environmental equilibrium, and misapplies resonance concepts to obfuscate this fundamental violation.
Unspecified. Claims to capture the 'entire vibration spectrum of the pyramid' (das gesamte Schwingungsspektrum der Pyramide) but provides no physical mechanism for the origin of this vibrational energy or how it is sustained. Implies energy is extracted from the pyramid structure itself or an undefined environmental field.
The device claims to capture energy from a pyramid's 'vibration spectrum' via a helical conductor, but provides no physical source for this vibrational energy. Since the pyramid is a passive structure in thermal equilibrium with its surroundings, any attempt to extract net useful work from it violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation). The claim is fundamentally non-physical.
Unclear. Claims to convert magnetic energy from permanent magnets into electrical energy via electromagnetic induction, with no moving parts and no external energy input specified.
The patent describes a device that claims to generate electrical energy solely from the magnetic field of permanent magnets using induction, with no moving parts. This violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation) because a static magnetic field is not an energy source—extracting continuous electrical work would require depleting the magnet's internal energy or having an external energy input to change the flux, neither of which is provided.
Claimed to convert electrical input into a 'dipolar gravitational field' to accelerate or deflect masses, implying extraction of mechanical work from an unverified coupling between electromagnetism and gravity.
The device claims to convert electrical energy into a controllable gravitational field for propulsion, which violates conservation of momentum and energy as there is no established mechanism in physics for such a direct, useful coupling.

The patent describes a device using permanent magnets, Hall sensors, and rotating components to generate electrical pulses, but provides no clear source for the energy required to produce net electrical output.

The device claims to generate DC electricity by converting matter in a liquid metal with 'aligned nuclear poles,' leading to self-sustaining operation. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation) as it posits a continuous energy output from an undefined internal source without a corresponding energy input or fuel depletion, and uses pseudo-scientific terms like 'Polgleichstellung' to obfuscate the violation.

Electrical input from a generator driving an antenna with a harmonically varying current.
The device claims to generate thrust by driving an asymmetrically shielded antenna in a gas. It violates Newton's third law and the conservation of momentum, as it describes no expulsion of reaction mass or interaction with an external field to produce a net force. The electrical input is merely converted into internal energy and random thermal motion of the gas, not directed propulsion.
Unclear. The claim suggests using the 'inertial energy' or 'träge Energie' of a body of mass M itself as a source to produce linear acceleration, implying energy extraction from inertia alone.

Unclear. The patent describes mechanical rotation (e.g., 28,000 RPM) of materials with specific nuclear spins (e.g., copper isotopes) to allegedly generate 'non-electromagnetic dynamic force fields' and 'secondary gravitational fields'. The only explicit input is the work to cause the relative motion/rotation.
The claim violates core physics principles. It describes a closed mechanical system where rotation of materials with specific nuclear spins is purported to generate novel, useful force fields and gravitational effects. This implies the creation of energy or momentum from an internal configuration change alone, directly contradicting conservation of energy and momentum. The use of quantum mechanical terms (nuclear spin) is obfuscatory, as no plausible mechanism links bulk rotation to the claimed macroscopic forces.

Claimed to recover waste heat from electrolytic cell sidewalls, then use that heat to drive an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) system to generate electricity. Implicitly suggests net electricity output from waste heat recovery.
The patent describes a system that attempts to use low-temperature waste heat (<100°C) from an electrolyzer to drive a closed-loop organic Rankine cycle and generate electricity. This violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as a heat engine cannot produce net work by exchanging heat with a single temperature reservoir; it requires a temperature difference and a cold sink. The described cyclic process with condensation and re-evaporation cannot yield net power output.
Claims to use solar energy (via selective absorption coating) to create/maintain a temperature gradient for thermoelectric generation, but describes a system that appears to extract net work from ambient thermal equilibrium without sufficient external gradient.
The device claims to generate electricity using thermoelectric modules powered solely by ambient solar energy and passive cooling, without needing an external heat source or active cooling. This violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it attempts to extract net work from what is effectively a single temperature reservoir, ignoring the requirement for a maintained, external temperature gradient to drive the thermoelectric conversion.
Unclear. Claims to use waste heat from furnace flue gas to drive a thermoacoustic engine, which then powers a thermoacoustic cooler, while also generating electricity via a steam turbine from a waste heat boiler. No primary energy input is specified beyond the furnace's normal operation.
This patent describes a system that attempts to use furnace waste heat to simultaneously generate electricity via a steam cycle and power a thermoacoustic cooling device. The proposed cascade violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it implies creating useful work (for cooling and extra electricity) from a single heat source without a net heat rejection to a colder reservoir, constituting a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Unclear. The device appears to claim that magnetic repulsion between rotating permanent magnets provides additional torque/assist beyond the initial rotational input, suggesting energy generation from magnetic interactions alone.
This device describes a system of rotating permanent magnets arranged to supposedly provide assisting torque via magnetic repulsion. Since permanent magnets are a conservative energy source and the system lacks any external, time-varying energy input, the net work done by magnetic forces over a complete rotation is zero. Any claimed increase in output torque violates conservation of energy.
Unclear. The device appears to be a static structure with a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) positioned near a few-layer graphene flake, claiming to generate electricity by 'cutting magnetic field lines' without any apparent energy input.
This patent describes a device with a carbon nanotube and a graphene flake providing a static magnetic field. It claims to generate electricity without any moving parts or external energy input, which directly violates Faraday's law of induction and the conservation of energy. It is a perpetual motion machine of the third kind.
Unclear. The device appears to rely solely on magnetic attraction/repulsion between two magnets whose polarity periodically switches via mechanical rotation, with no external energy input specified other than possibly an initial push.
This describes a magnetic motor that claims to produce continuous rotational output using only the attraction and repulsion between magnets whose polarity periodically changes via a mechanical linkage. Since magnetic forces are conservative and the switching mechanism itself requires work against magnetic forces, the system cannot produce net work output without an external energy source, violating energy conservation.
Unclear. Claims to use ambient humidity gradient and P-N junction to generate electricity, but lacks specification of a primary energy input. Implies energy extraction from equilibrium conditions.
The device claims to generate electricity by converting ambient humidity using a P-N junction, implying energy extraction from an equilibrium state without a maintained gradient. This violates the second law of thermodynamics. The description uses correct physics terms (P-N junction, humidity gradient) but describes a mechanism thermodynamically equivalent to a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Ambient temperature difference (thermal gradient) between a 'high-temperature heat source' and a 'low-temperature heat source' is claimed as the primary energy input, with the device allegedly extracting work from this gradient and feeding some output back to maintain it.
The patent describes a device that claims to use a temperature difference to generate work, then feed part of that work back to restore the temperature difference, aiming for continuous net output. This is a classic violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, constituting a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, as it ignores the inevitable increase in entropy and dissipation of the thermal gradient.
Unclear. Claims appear to suggest energy is generated from a 'three-body association radiation reaction' between delocalized ions, lattice nuclei, and electrons, with no identifiable external energy gradient (e.g., high-temperature heat source, high-voltage input, or intense radiation) to drive it.
The patent describes an apparatus that claims to generate energetic electrons from hydrogen isotopes interacting with a nanoscale lattice, without identifying a sufficient external energy source. The proposed 'three-body association radiation reaction' mechanism, as described, violates the First Law (energy conservation) by implying creation of electrical/kinetic energy from internal states, and the Second Law by suggesting useful work can be extracted while maintaining a constant substrate temperature with only a heat sink.
Ambient thermal energy from a heat source with temporally fluctuating temperature. The device claims to generate electricity from a temperature gradient created by the heat source's natural variation, but appears to lack any external work input to create or maintain the necessary non-equilibrium condition.
This patent describes a device that claims to generate electricity solely from the natural temperature fluctuations of a single heat source, using a pyroelectric material near its Curie point. This constitutes a perpetual motion machine of the second kind, as it violates the Kelvin-Planck statement of the second law: no net work can be extracted from a single thermal reservoir over a complete cycle. The energy needed to cyclically heat and cool the material itself is not properly accounted for.
Unclear/implied perpetual motion from magnetic interactions without external energy input. The description suggests magnets (3) and (1) are arranged to rotate a central magnetic assembly (2) to generate electricity, implying energy extraction from static magnetic fields.
The device attempts to generate electricity using only permanent magnets arranged in a rotating configuration, implying extraction of net work from a conservative magnetic field without any external energy input. This violates energy conservation as magnetic forces in static configurations are conservative and cannot provide continuous net work output.
Electrical input from an onboard power source. The claim implicitly suggests the device can generate a net propulsive force on itself without ejecting mass or interacting with an external body.
The device claims to produce autonomous propulsion without ejecting mass or external interaction, which directly violates Newton's laws of motion and conservation of momentum. No arrangement of internal electrical forces, regardless of phase or superconductivity, can result in a net force on the device as a whole.
Electrical input to the conductive plates. The claim implies the device generates a net propulsive force from internal electromagnetic interactions alone, without expelling mass or interacting with an external field.
The device claims to propel a body using only internal, time-varying electromagnetic forces between its own components. This is a clear violation of momentum conservation, as internal forces cannot produce a net external force on the system's center of mass.
Unclear. The claim describes a 'mechanochemical substance' that undergoes transformation via 'light irradiation', but the description suggests a cyclic, self-sustaining transformation between two 'transmutation-generating elemental bodies' without a clear net energy input to drive the cycle.
The claim describes a fixed device where light triggers mutual, cyclic 'transmutations' between two substances. This implies a perpetual process of nuclear transformation driven only by light, which violates energy conservation (nuclear transitions require MeV energies, not typical light) and the second law of thermodynamics, as it suggests a closed cycle of energetic changes without a net energy input or entropy export.
Unclear. Implied to be permanent magnets interacting, but no external energy input is described to reset the system or overcome magnetic hysteresis/back-torque.
The device claims to produce rotational power solely from the interaction of fixed and moving permanent magnets. This violates energy conservation because permanent magnets are conservative fields; the net work extracted over a complete cycle is zero unless external energy is supplied to change the magnetic relationships, which is not described.
Ambient thermal energy (heat at any temperature above absolute zero). The device claims to generate an electric potential from two conductors at the same temperature via electron tunneling due to a work function difference.
The patent describes a device that claims to generate electricity solely from ambient heat with no temperature difference, using quantum tunneling between two materials with different work functions. This is a classic violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it attempts to perform useful work from a single thermal reservoir at uniform temperature, which is thermodynamically impossible.
Unclear. Implied to be from the static magnetic field of the magnet itself, which is not an energy source.
The device claims to generate electricity using only a static magnet and metal plates, with no described input of energy. This is a classic perpetual motion scheme, as a permanent magnet's field is a configuration of potential energy, not a source of continuous power. Drawing current would require work to change the magnetic field, which the device does not provide.
Unclear. The motor is the explicit input, but the claimed effect (mass reduction via Higgs field manipulation) suggests an attempt to extract energy or perform work from a fundamental field without a legitimate gradient or energy source, implying creation of energy from the vacuum or violation of mass-energy equivalence.
The claim violates fundamental physics by proposing a device that locally reduces mass without accounting for the colossal energy required to alter mass-energy equivalence, using a nonsensical mechanism involving the Higgs field. The terminology is a veneer of advanced physics over a core concept that contradicts conservation laws.
Ambiguous. Claims to convert heat into electricity via magnetic field changes in a 'thermodynamic conductor' (likely a superconductor), but the primary energy input for the magnetic field controller and temperature controller is not specified. The described cyclical process suggests energy is extracted from a single heat source.
The device is described as a heat engine operating cyclically with only a single heat source, which is thermodynamically impossible. The energy required to drive the magnetic field cycle is ignored, and the physics of superconductors is misused to suggest a net energy gain from ambient heat.
Unclear. The claimed force appears to be generated solely from static charge density (electret) and a steady current in a coil, with no identified external energy input to sustain the force or momentum.
The patent describes a motor that claims to generate a sustained force and momentum from the interaction between a static charged electret and a steady current in a coil. This violates conservation of momentum, as it proposes a net force from a time-independent configuration without identifying the equal and opposite reaction force or the external energy source required to sustain it.
An example of a system for the generation of rotational force includes a stator which may include an interior surface and a plurality of stator magnets. A rotor may include an exterior surface and a plurality of rotor magnets. A shaft may be connected to the rotor. A compressive force is applied to the rotor to move the rotor to a position relative to the stator such that the plurality of stator magnets and the plurality of rotor magnets repulse to create a rotational force on the rotor.
The device claims to generate rotational force by compressing a rotor into a repulsive magnetic field. This describes a one-time conversion of the compressor's work into rotational kinetic energy via magnetic repulsion, not a continuous source. For continuous rotation, the system would need an external energy input to repeatedly reset the rotor against the magnetic field, making it a motor, not a source.
Unclear. Implicitly suggests the quantum vacuum (zero-point energy) as a net energy source, extracted via an asymmetry created by a Casimir cavity without an external thermodynamic gradient.
The device claims to generate electrical power by creating an asymmetry in the quantum vacuum energy density using a Casimir cavity. This implies extracting net work from the quantum vacuum ground state, which is an equilibrium state with no free energy to harvest, directly violating thermodynamic limits. The use of correct physics terms like 'Casimir cavity' obscures this fundamental violation.
Ambient gravitational potential energy of the magnetically sensitive substance, and the magnetic potential energy from the fixed magnet. The claim implies these can be used to create sustained motion against friction without an external energy input.
The apparatus is a variant of a perpetual motion machine. It attempts to use a fixed magnet and gravity to create continuous motion, but because both forces are conservative, the net work done over one complete rotation is zero. Friction will dissip any initial kinetic energy, causing the device to stop.
Unclear. Implied to be solely from permanent magnet configurations, suggesting extraction of net work from a static magnetic field without an external energy gradient.
The patent describes a motor that appears to derive continuous rotational work solely from the arrangement of permanent magnets. This violates the first law of thermodynamics, as a static magnetic field is a conservative force field; no net work can be extracted over a cycle without an external energy input to reset the system or overcome losses.
The only explicit energy input is the initial push to start the pendulums. The mechanism claims to sustain/generate power via magnetic repulsion between fixed stator magnets and magnets on the swinging pendulum weights.
The device is a perpetual motion machine. It claims the magnetic repulsion forces allow the pendulums to keep rotating to drive a generator, but this violates energy conservation. The magnetic forces are internal and cannot perpetually replenish the energy lost to friction and the generator load.
A permanent magnet electric apparatus has a rotor structure where a rotor has an outer rim, a plurality of rotor magnets, wherein each of the rotor magnets are recessed within a housing, where each housing is attached to the outer rim of the rotor structure and evenly spaced along the outer rim. The apparatus also has an output shaft, a plurality of gears connected between the rotor and the output shaft and configured to direct movement from the rotor to rotation of the output shaft, a stator structure adjacent to the rotor with at least one stator magnet configured to repel the plurality of rotor magnets where the magnetic force of the rotor magnets in a repelling position are configured to oppose the magnetic force of the at least one stator magnet as the rotor turns. A brake mechanism is configured to stop the rotation of the rotor structure.
The device attempts to use permanent magnet repulsion alone to produce continuous rotation and electrical output. This is impossible because magnetic forces are conservative; the energy gained from repulsion as magnets approach is exactly lost as they separate, resulting in no net work over a complete cycle without an external energy source.
Ambient electromagnetic quantum vacuum (zero-point energy). The fluid is claimed to 'obtain' energy from this vacuum simply by being within it, and then release it when passing through a Casimir cavity.
The patent describes a perpetual motion machine of the third kind. It claims a fluid can continuously absorb energy from the ambient quantum vacuum and release it in a Casimir cavity to do work, violating the conservation of energy. The Casimir effect does not provide a mechanism for net energy extraction.
Ambient electromagnetic quantum vacuum (zero-point energy). The system claims a 'fluid' absorbs this energy and releases it when passed through a Casimir cavity.
The claim violates the first law of thermodynamics by proposing a perpetual motion machine of the first kind. It attempts to extract net useful energy from the quantum vacuum ground state, which is thermodynamically forbidden as it is the lowest energy state; you cannot run an engine on equilibrium. The description misapplies the physics of Casimir cavities.
Ambient electromagnetic quantum vacuum (zero-point energy). No conventional input (electrical, thermal, chemical, etc.) is described; the fluid 'obtains' energy from the vacuum.
The patent claims a device that extracts useful net energy from the quantum vacuum ground state using a fluid and Casimir cavities. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation), as the quantum vacuum is not an energy source that can be tapped for net work without an external gradient or input. The Casimir effect is a redistribution of vacuum energy, not a source of it.
Ambient electromagnetic quantum vacuum (zero-point energy) via Casimir cavities.
The claim attempts to extract net energy from the quantum vacuum using Casimir cavities, which is thermodynamically impossible as it proposes a perpetual motion machine of the third kind. The description uses correct physics terms (Casimir cavity, quantum vacuum) but in a fundamentally incorrect way to suggest energy can be harvested from an equilibrium state without a compensating entropy increase elsewhere.
Claims energy from hydrogen transitioning to 'lower energy (hydrino) states'—a hypothetical state not recognized by established quantum mechanics.
The system's claimed energy source—hydrogen decaying to 'hydrino' states—contradicts the established quantum mechanical ground state of hydrogen and has no experimental support. The description obfuscates this core violation with standard electrochemical cell architecture, but the proposed reaction is not a real, energy-yielding process.
Claimed to be the zero-point field (quantum vacuum), with an unspecified drive motor input to initiate and sustain motion.
The system claims to produce net energy from the quantum vacuum, a source from which no device has been shown to extract useful work without an external energy input or a lower-temperature sink, directly violating the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics. The description uses correct physics terms like 'zero-point field' and 'radiation pressure' to obfuscate the lack of a coherent, thermodynamically permissible energy conversion process.
Unspecified. The claim implies extracting work (gravito-electric power) or modifying a conservative force field (gravity) without an identifiable energy input to account for the change in gravitational potential energy or the work performed.
The claim violates fundamental physics by proposing to generate power from or locally reduce gravity using atomic arrangements alone, which contradicts energy conservation and General Relativity. No valid energy source is identified for the claimed effects, and the proposed mechanism has no basis in established theory.
Unclear. The described apparatus (coils, sphere with gel, supercapacitor) lacks any defined input of energy (electrical, chemical, thermal, mechanical, or ambient). The gel's electrochemical reaction is a one-time stored chemical energy source, not a continuous generator.
The device claims to generate electricity using static magnetic/gravitational forces and a passive gel, with no defined energy input. This is a classic violation of the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation), as it attempts to produce continuous power from an apparatus in equilibrium, constituting a perpetual motion machine.
Unclear. Claims propulsion from internal electromagnetic field generation only, implying no external reaction mass or identifiable external energy gradient.
The system claims to generate net propulsion (a change in the mechanical momentum of the entire assembly) solely by manipulating internal electromagnetic fields, which violates the conservation of momentum for a closed system. It misapplies the concept of field momentum and uses obfuscating, non-standard terminology.
Unclear. The description suggests the primary energy input is from an external asynchronous motor. The magnetic arrangement is claimed to create 'large lifting force' but no mechanism for net energy gain from the magnetic field alone is provided.
The device is fundamentally an external motor rotating a complex magnetic assembly. Static magnetic fields are conservative and cannot perform net work on a system that returns to its initial state. The claim of creating mechanical energy from the magnetic field alone violates energy conservation, as the only clear energy input is from the external asynchronous motor.
Ambient thermal energy (vibrating molecular charges). The claim is to convert this thermal motion directly into useful electrical work.
The circuit attempts to be a Maxwell's Demon, using a rectifier to extract DC power from the random thermal motion of charges. This is thermodynamically impossible as it would decrease entropy without an external energy input, effectively creating a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Ambient thermal energy (kinetic energy of gas molecules in thermal equilibrium with surroundings).
The device claims to generate force or electricity solely from the random thermal motion of gas molecules at a uniform temperature. This is a classic violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it attempts to create useful work from a single heat reservoir without a temperature gradient, effectively a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Electrical input to the superconducting solenoid. No external ambient energy source is identified or utilized.
The device claims to generate a net propulsive force (thrust) from internal magnetic forces alone, with no expulsion of reaction mass or interaction with an external field. This constitutes a reactionless drive, which violates conservation of momentum and is impossible for a closed system.
Ambient magnetic potential energy from permanent magnets, which is a static, conservative field. No external energy input (electrical, mechanical, chemical, or thermal gradient) is described to overcome equilibrium positions or provide net work.
The device is a permanent magnet arrangement claiming to produce motor action. Since magnets provide a conservative field, the rotor will find stable equilibrium points and oscillate to a stop; no continuous rotation or net work output is possible without an external energy source to reset the system, making it a perpetual motion machine of the first kind.
Unclear. Claims 'clean permanent energy, non-permanent reservoirs' and 'continuous self-mechanical movement' from magnets and magnetic resonance. Implied source is the magnetic field of permanent magnets, which is a conservative potential field, not an energy source.
The device claims to produce continuous mechanical movement and energy using only magnets and magnetic resonance, which violates the first law of thermodynamics. Permanent magnets are not an energy source; their magnetic field is a conservative force field from which no net energy can be extracted in a cyclic process without an external energy input.
The present invention provides a magnetic explosion engine comprising: a stator comprising a supporting disk and a plurality of low-temperature Curie point magnets provided on the supporting disk, wherein the supporting disk is of a disk-shaped structure, and the low-temperature Curie point magnets are all evenly distributed along the circumference of the supporting disk and are all centrally symmetrical about the center of a circle of the supporting disk. The low-temperature Curie point magnets are relative to the Curie point temperature of a normal magnet. The magnetic explosion engine provided by the present invention transmits heat and starts a high-temperature and low-temperature automatic switching procedure. With the use of a low-temperature Curie point magnet, the magnetic force disappears and recovers when its temperature changes, expressing a zero-resistance magnetic field motion.
The device is described as a heat engine that uses the Curie temperature of magnets to create motion, but it provides no mechanism to maintain the required temperature difference without external work. It attempts to extract net work from what is effectively an equilibrium state, violating the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Electrical input to charge capacitor plates and drive their mechanical reciprocation. No external or environmental energy source is described.
The device is an internal, closed electromechanical system. The coordinated reciprocation of charged plates cannot produce net thrust, as all internal forces cancel out. This is a violation of conservation of momentum, a cornerstone of physics.
Unclear. Claims imply generation of net rotational force (work) from the motion of Cooper pairs in a superconductor, with a suggested link to gravitational forces or Earth's velocity, but no identifiable external energy input gradient.
The device describes a closed superconducting loop where the internal motion of Cooper pairs is claimed to create a net gravitational force to drive a rotor. This is a violation of Newton's third law and conservation of momentum; internal forces in a system cannot produce net acceleration of its center of mass. No valid external energy source is identified, making it a perpetual motion claim.
Ambient thermal energy only (no explicit input). Claims to extract work from static magnetic fields of permanent magnets arranged in a special configuration.
The device claims to generate rotational energy solely from a static arrangement of permanent magnets and iron, which is impossible. Magnetic forces are conservative and cannot perform net work over a cycle without an external energy source, violating both energy conservation and the second law of thermodynamics.
Electrical input to the drive mechanism and acoustic oscillator, plus ambient thermal energy (claimed).
The device claims sound waves act as a 'catalyst' to convert ambient heat into kinetic energy, which is thermodynamically impossible as it extracts net work from a single temperature reservoir. The detailed constraints obfuscate a core violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Unclear. Claims to generate directed gravitational force/acceleration from electrical input and rotation, but the described mechanism is not a recognized energy source.
The claim violates fundamental conservation laws (energy, momentum) by proposing a closed system that generates a net directional force on itself using only internal currents and rotation. It misuses terms from relativity and quantum gravity ('gravitons', 'warping spacetime') without a coherent physical model.
Electrical input to the electromagnet and rotation mechanism. The claim implicitly treats the Earth's uniform magnetic field as a source of propulsive energy without performing work on it.
The device claims to generate propulsive Lorentz force by rotating a self-generated magnetic field within a uniform external field. However, a uniform magnetic field cannot provide net energy or momentum for propulsion; any force on the magnetic dipole from a uniform field is conservative and sums to zero over a cycle. This is a classic attempt at a perpetual motion machine of the first kind.
The claim implicitly suggests the energy source is the magnetic potential energy of the permanent magnet configuration, with no other inputs (electrical, mechanical, thermal, or ambient) described.
The device is a permanent magnet motor, a classic example of a perpetual motion machine of the first kind. A static arrangement of permanent magnets cannot produce continuous rotation and net power output, as it lacks an external energy source to replenish the energy lost to friction and other dissipative forces.
Electrical input to create the electric field between electrodes. Claim implies additional thrust energy is generated from the field configuration itself, not from an external source.
The device is described as an asymmetric capacitor. For it to produce net thrust in a vacuum, it must expel reaction mass or interact with an external field (e.g., the Earth's magnetic field). The patent provides no such mechanism, implying a reactionless drive, which violates conservation of momentum.
Unspecified 'Cosmic Flux Field' claimed to impart momentum/force without depletion, supplemented by an external electrostatic charging system.
The device claims to generate continuous rotational work (and thus electrical power) from an ambient 'Cosmic Flux' using an asymmetrically shielded electrostatic rotor. This constitutes an attempt to extract net work from a single, undepleted energy reservoir at uniform temperature, a clear violation of the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The electrostatic setup merely configures the system but does not provide a sustainable energy gradient.
Unclear. Mentions an 'energizing means such as a particle or electromagnetic beam' to create nuclear reactions/collisions, implying input energy from an external beam. However, the claimed outputs (propulsion via gravitational waves) have no coherent energy accounting link to this input.
The patent claims a propulsion system using generated gravitational waves. This violates conservation of momentum (no reaction mass is identified) and ignores the extreme inefficiency of gravitational wave generation. The use of correct terms like 'gravitational wave' and 'superconductor' obscures a fundamentally non-physical propulsion mechanism.
Unclear. Implied electrical input for rotation and currents, but claims output (force/acceleration) from 'directed flow of gravitons' without identifiable external energy gradient.
The claim describes an impossible propulsion mechanism that violates conservation of momentum by generating net force without reaction mass or external field gradient, while using correct-sounding but misapplied physics terms ('gravitons', 'warp space-time') without a coherent energy source or mathematically defined interaction.
Ambient thermal energy (heat) is claimed as the sole input, with no other explicit power source, temperature gradient, or external drive signal.
This device claims to generate electricity solely from ambient heat using a transformer with an unpowered primary. This is a classic violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it attempts to do useful work from a single temperature reservoir without a compensating heat flow to a colder sink. The thermal noise in the wires cannot be rectified to produce a continuous net charge on the capacitor.
Unclear. Claims to induce and divide electric charges from a 'torsion field'—a term not recognized in mainstream physics as an energy source. No identifiable external energy input (solar, thermal, chemical, kinetic) is described.
The device claims to produce electrical energy anywhere without an external energy source or gradient, directly violating the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation). The core mechanism relies on an undefined 'torsion field' not recognized in physics as an energy reservoir, making this a perpetual motion claim.
Unclear. Claims to convert magnetic energy from permanent magnets into mechanical work, implying the magnets themselves are the sole energy source.
The patent describes a device that claims to generate mechanical energy solely from the attraction/repulsion forces of permanent magnets. This is a classic violation of the first law of thermodynamics, as a permanent magnet in a static configuration is a conservative field. Any work extracted during one part of a cycle must be paid back to reset the system, resulting in zero net work output.
Unclear. Claims conversion of 'magnetic energy' into mechanical energy, implying permanent magnets themselves are a continuous energy source.
The patent claims a method to convert magnetic energy into mechanical energy using permanent magnets. This violates the first law of thermodynamics, as the magnetic field of a permanent magnet is a store of potential energy, not a source of infinite energy. Extracting continuous mechanical work from static magnetic fields without an external input is impossible over a complete cycle.
None identified. Claims energy comes solely from the repelling force between permanent magnets, which is a conservative force field.
The device is a classic perpetual motion machine of the first kind. It claims to produce continuous mechanical output power using only fixed permanent magnets, which is impossible because magnetic forces are conservative and cannot do net work over a cycle without an external energy source to reset the system.
Unclear. Claims to rotate using magnetic repulsion forces between permanent magnets, implying energy is extracted solely from the magnetic field configuration without an external energy input.
The described device is a classic perpetual motion machine of the first kind.

Unclear. Implied to be Earth's magnetic field, but no mechanism for extracting net work from a static, conservative field is described.
The device claims to generate industrial electricity by 'capturing' and 'amplifying' Earth's magnetic field. This violates fundamental physics because a static magnetic field is a conservative potential field; you cannot extract net work from it without an external energy source to change the magnetic flux through the circuit, such as motion relative to the field or a changing field strength.
Unclear. Claims to produce propulsive force using only electricity without propellant, implying net momentum change from internal energy conversion alone.
The device claims to propel a spacecraft using only electricity without expelling propellant. This violates conservation of momentum, as a closed system cannot generate net momentum change through internal forces alone. The description uses correct physics terminology (relativistic fields, inertial frames) but applies them incorrectly to suggest a new, non-conservative force.
Unclear. Claims energy release from 'overlapping' or 'superposition' of elementary particles with mass and charge, and from neutral particles creating charge. No identifiable external energy input or gradient.
The claim violates fundamental conservation laws (energy and charge) by proposing that simply bringing particles together or 'overlapping' them releases vast amounts of energy without an external source or an existing potential gradient to tap. It uses correct-sounding terms like 'binding energy' incorrectly, applying it to a nonsensical process.
Claims to produce electricity from a permanent static pressure applied to a piezoelectric actuator, with no external input of kinetic energy.
The core claim violates the first law of thermodynamics. A piezoelectric element under permanent static pressure cannot continuously generate electrical energy, as it requires a time-varying strain. The system is described as needing no ongoing energy input, which is impossible for a continuous power output.
Unclear. The claim references magnetic fields, superconductors, and a 'temperature difference machine' but provides no coherent, identifiable primary energy input. It implies energy generation from magnetic configurations alone.
The described 'magnetic engine' lacks a defined external energy source and implies that a system of magnets and shields can produce continuous useful work, which violates fundamental conservation laws. The use of advanced physics terms is obfuscatory and does not describe a legitimate energy conversion process.
Unclear. Mentions photo-electrons, charged spherical condensers, and coils, but no primary energy source is specified for charging the condensers or powering the coils. The system appears to claim to use Earth's magnetic field as a reaction medium for propulsion without an external energy input to sustain it.
The described apparatus claims to achieve vehicle propulsion and lift by interacting with Earth's magnetic field, but it provides no valid external energy source to perform this work and proposes a force mechanism that violates Newton's laws. The use of correct-sounding terms like 'photo-electrons' and 'condensers' obscures the fundamental absence of a workable energy conversion process.
Unclear. The description implies the motor's operation is driven solely by the interaction of shaped permanent magnet fields, suggesting the electrical input is only for control, not primary energy. No external energy gradient (e.g., fuel, significant thermal gradient, ambient energy harvest) is identified to account for sustained mechanical work output.
The device appears to be a permanent magnet motor, which violates the first law of thermodynamics. Arranging permanent magnets cannot provide a continuous source of energy because the magnetic field is conservative; any work done against the field must be repaid to return to the starting point, leading to zero net work per cycle when losses are considered.
Unclear. The description suggests rotational motion is generated solely through magnetic interactions between stationary and rotating magnetic bodies without any identified external energy input.
The device claims to generate rotational energy through magnetic arrangements without any external power source, which violates conservation of energy. Magnetic forces are conservative and cannot create net work from a static configuration without an external energy input to change the magnetic fields or positions.
Unclear. The description mentions a 'paracentric cycle' and geometric arrangements of magnets and a toothed disc, implying an attempt to extract energy from magnetic interactions without an external fuel source.
The device claims to generate energy without consuming fuel, using only arranged magnets and a geometric cycle. This is a classic perpetual motion claim, as magnets are conservative systems; no net energy can be extracted from them without an external input, violating the first law of thermodynamics.
Ambient temperature (thermal energy from the environment) claimed to produce electrical energy through unspecified electrochemical processes with selective membranes and ion concentration gradients.
This patent claims to generate electricity directly from ambient temperature using electrochemical cells with selective membranes. This is thermodynamically impossible, as it constitutes a heat engine operating with a single thermal reservoir, violating the Second Law. The described ion concentration gradients cannot be established and maintained without an external energy input, which is not accounted for.
Unclear. The description mentions potential inputs like an electromagnet, hydraulic/pneumatic cylinder (22), or a projection (20) with a spring (21), but the core claimed motion is driven by magnetic repulsion/attraction between fixed magnets (12) and cylindrical magnets (13) arranged to move reciprocally.
The patent describes an engine using permanent magnets arranged to move reciprocally. Without a clear, sustained external energy input to alter the magnetic field (e.g., by moving magnets relative to each other or switching electromagnets), the system will find a stable equilibrium point, violating energy conservation if it claims to produce continuous work. The vague description of optional external drivers obscures the fundamental physics flaw.
Unclear. The described method involves heating and cooling magnets to induce motion in other magnets/objects, implying an attempt to convert ambient thermal energy directly into kinetic work without a compensating heat rejection to a colder reservoir.
The claim describes a method to convert thermal energy into kinetic energy by thermally cycling magnets. This constitutes a heat engine, but it lacks the required cold sink to complete the thermodynamic cycle, making it a perpetual motion machine of the second kind. The energy accounting is incomplete, ignoring the work input needed for the heating/cooling cycle relative to the work output.
Unclear. Claims suggest propulsion force is generated from a 'canine hyperconductor' made of 'hyperactive tape' wound with multiple coils, creating a rotating magnetic field and Lorentz forces that produce an axial thrust component independent of the machine's mechanical state.
The claim describes a mechanism that purports to generate a net propulsion force (thrust) from an internal magnetic configuration without any apparent external energy input or reaction mass. This violates conservation of momentum (Newton's Third Law) and represents a form of reactionless drive, which is impossible under established physics. The use of pseudo-technical jargon obscures the lack of a legitimate energy source.
Unclear. Claims to convert the Earth's magnetic field into electrical current to charge a battery, implying energy extraction from a static magnetic field gradient without an external energy input to create or maintain that gradient.
The device claims to charge a battery using only the Earth's static magnetic field, which is thermodynamically impossible. A static magnetic field is a conservative force field; you cannot extract net energy from it without an external energy source to change the magnetic configuration, violating the law of energy conservation.
Unclear. The only explicit input described is the initial kinetic energy to start the device. The described mechanism of magnetic pieces and movable inducers suggests an attempt to create a self-sustaining or over-unity system using magnetic forces.
The device attempts to generate continuous kinetic and electrical energy using only arranged magnets and movable inducers, with no clear external energy source. Since magnetic forces alone cannot provide net energy, the system would inevitably stop due to friction and electrical resistance, violating the conservation of energy.

Unclear. Claims to generate electrical energy from 'gravito-magnetic energy' caused by relative motion between a mass and a magnetoresistive (MR) element, implying energy extraction from a gravitational or mass-related field without an external gradient.
The device claims to generate electricity from 'gravito-magnetic energy' using moving nano-features and an MR sensor, a concept with no basis in established physics. The described setup would consume more energy to create the motion than any tiny electrical signal produced, constituting a violation of energy conservation if claimed as a net generator.
Ambient environmental noise collected via a noise collector, converted to electricity via piezoelectric modules.
This system claims to use ambient noise energy to power mechanical compression and transport of waste materials, but the energy density of ambient noise is orders of magnitude too low to perform the described mechanical work. The design implies a perpetual-motion-like system where harvested micro-energy performs macro-scale work without accounting for conversion losses, friction, or the actual energy requirements of compression mechanisms.
Unclear. The text appears to describe a complex interaction of components (e.g., 22.기어, 47.체잉기어) and processes, but no identifiable primary energy input (electrical, chemical, thermal gradient, etc.) is specified. The description is cryptic and non-physical.
The provided text is not a coherent physics or engineering description; it is a series of garbled alphanumeric strings and Korean characters that do not form a meaningful claim. Since no process can be identified and no energy source is specified, it fundamentally violates the requirement for a clear energy accounting and is therefore a violation of basic analytical principles.
Ambient thermal energy (temperature difference) is implied but insufficiently defined. The device claims to convert heat directly into rotational motion via magnetocaloric effect and magnetic interactions.
The device claims to rotate by changing the magnetic field of a magnetocaloric material according to a temperature difference. This violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it attempts to convert ambient heat directly into continuous mechanical work without a proper heat engine cycle or a net input of higher-grade energy to drive the magnetocaloric effect.
Unclear. The abstract and claims are unintelligible (likely garbled text/encoding error), preventing identification of any explicit or implicit energy input.
The provided text is garbled and contains no analyzable physics content, which is a hallmark of obfuscation. A valid patent claim must describe a clear, physically coherent process. The inability to parse any technical details from the submission is itself a strong indicator of a non-functional or pseudoscientific concept.
Ambient electromagnetic quantum vacuum (zero-point energy), claimed to be replenished globally.
The claim proposes a device that cyclically extracts net energy from the electromagnetic quantum vacuum. This violates the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation for a closed cycle) and the second law (no net work from a single thermal reservoir). The use of correct physics terms like 'Casimir cavity' obscures the fundamental thermodynamic impossibility.
Single heat source (implied to be the only energy input) with thermal insulation separating it from a thermoelectric generator and an energy storage device.
This device claims to generate electricity using only a single heat source with thermoelectric generators, which fundamentally violates the second law of thermodynamics. Thermoelectric devices require a temperature difference to generate electricity, but the design uses insulation that would eliminate any gradient. This is essentially a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Energy is implicitly supplied by the particle beam (accelerated particles) and the system that constrains the target nuclei. The claimed gravitational wave generation energy is said to come from the directional impulse of nuclear reaction products.
The device concept fundamentally misunderstands the source requirements for gravitational radiation, incorrectly applying dipole (jerk) mechanics to a quadrupole phenomenon. The energy required to generate detectable gravitational waves via nuclear-scale events is astronomically impractical, and the described mechanism does not overcome the inherent weakness of gravitational coupling.
Ambient thermal energy (natural heat energy) and an external direct current source. The system attempts to use the DC source to run a Peltier heat pump to create a temperature gradient, then use Seebeck elements to generate electricity from that gradient.
The device attempts to create a self-sustaining power generator by using electricity to pump heat to create a temperature difference, then using that difference to generate electricity. This is thermodynamically impossible, as the generation step cannot produce more energy than was consumed by the pumping step, making the claimed 'self-driving' system a violation of energy conservation and the second law.
Ambient magnetic fields and electrical input to control electromagnets. Claims to extract energy from magnetic field gradients between 'control magnets' and 'working magnets'.
This device claims to generate excess energy by manipulating magnetic fields between control and working magnets, essentially attempting to extract net work from magnetic field gradients without an external energy source to replenish them. It violates both energy conservation and the second law of thermodynamics by suggesting energy multiplication through magnetic pole switching and field interactions.
Electrical input from a power source (implied but not detailed) to energize magnetic/electrical elements.
The device claims to generate usable gravitational waves with chip-scale components, which violates known physics because the gravitational coupling constant is so weak that generating detectable waves requires astronomical mass-energy densities, not achievable with small electromechanical systems. The patent misapplies the formal mathematical condition for gravitational radiation (involving quadrupole moments) to an impractical scale.
Ambient heat (Umgebungswärme) in a closed system, with no specified temperature gradient or other thermodynamic potential.
The patent claim directly violates the Kelvin-Planck statement of the Second Law, as it proposes converting ambient heat into other energy forms within a closed system without a compensating heat flow to a colder reservoir. This describes a perpetual motion machine of the second kind.
Unclear. The claim implies energy is generated from the 'instigation, growth, and exploitation of a small black hole (or ball lightning)' within the reactor vessel, but provides no mechanism for creating, containing, or sustainably extracting energy from such an object.
The patent describes only a container, not an energy source. It uses correct-sounding physics terms ('black hole', 'electron-absorbing') in a contextually incorrect and obfuscating way to imply a revolutionary energy generation capability without specifying any actual energy input or physically plausible conversion process, making it a thermodynamic violation by omission.
Unclear. The text describes a box-shaped device with a 'commercial power source' input, a voltage reduction section, a charging battery, and an output section to an electronic machine. It claims the front surface of the case is constructed to have greater heat dissipation than the back surface, relative to the voltage reduction section.
The claim text is not in clear, analyzable technical language, appearing garbled or encoded, which is a hallmark of obfuscation. The described structure hints at a device intended to produce asymmetric heat dissipation or power output greater than input, but without a legitimate, identified energy source or conversion process, it implicitly violates energy conservation.
Unclear. Text describes a device with components (1, 2, 3) interacting, but no explicit external energy input is identified. The abstract and claims are garbled/nonsensical, preventing identification of a legitimate source.
The patent text is corrupted and nonsensical, making technical analysis impossible. However, the structure suggests a device claiming to generate power from internal component interactions without a clear external energy source, which violates energy conservation. The obfuscated text itself is a major red flag.
Unclear. The claims describe structural components (full conductor, hollow conductor, hollow conductor fork) and payment schemes, but provide no identifiable energy input mechanism, conversion process, or source.
The provided claims contain no describable physics mechanism, energy source, or conversion process. They mix incoherent technical terms with administrative payment schemes, failing to define a testable device. Without a clear energy input and conversion principle, any claim of energy amplification or generation violates energy conservation by default.
Claimed to be a 'geringen Betriebsstromaufwandes' (small operating current expenditure) used to control magnetic field elements. No other energy source is identified. The device is presented as an electrical generator.
The claim describes an electrical generator that uses a small control current to orchestrate magnetic fields, which then allegedly induce a larger electrical output. This is a classic violation of energy conservation (Pattern A), as the output energy must come from an input source, not from the control circuitry itself. The use of complex topological terms (Möbius band) and vague operational descriptions (Pattern C) obscures the fundamental thermodynamic impossibility of generating net power from its own control signal.
Unclear. Claims suggest altering inertial resistance without reducing mass, implying a modification of Newton's second law (F=ma) using electromagnetic field modulation, but provides no identifiable external energy input to account for the claimed inertial reduction.
The claim directly violates Newtonian mechanics by proposing to change an object's inertia—its fundamental resistance to acceleration—without changing its mass or applying a net external force. The description uses technically vague, invented terminology to obscure the absence of a valid physical mechanism or energy source for the alleged effect.
Unclear. The claim mentions hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and a 'work part of the Swedish model,' implying chemical energy from H2O2 decomposition, but the description is too vague to identify a complete, legitimate energy conversion cycle.
The claim is too vague and incoherent to describe a physically valid process. It uses obscure terminology that prevents proper energy accounting and thermodynamic analysis, which is a hallmark of obfuscation. Any functional device would still be bound by the energy content of the hydrogen peroxide and the limits of converting its chemical energy to electricity.
Unclear. The system describes a particle accelerator (cyclotron) driving an 'energy amplifier' (claim 8 suggests a spallation neutron source using lead, claim 9 suggests thorium as fertile material). This implies a claimed nuclear process (possibly accelerator-driven subcritical reactor or spallation), but the patent provides no primary energy source for the particle accelerator itself.
The patent describes a system with a particle accelerator and an 'energy amplifier' but fails to account for the primary energy input required to run the accelerator. The implied closed-loop operation (producing H2+ from generated fresh water) suggests an unphysical energy multiplication scheme, violating energy conservation. The use of correct-sounding nuclear terms obfuscates the missing energy accounting.
Unclear. The text is semantically incoherent and provides no identifiable energy input mechanism. Mentions of 'heat', 'electricity', 'flames', and 'pig mold or moss transfers heat into electricity' are nonsensical and lack physical definition.
The text is not a comprehensible patent claim but rather word salad with technical jargon. It fails to describe any physical device, energy input, or conversion process, making thermodynamic analysis impossible. The primary violation is of communication clarity, not physics, but any implied energy generation claim from such an incoherent description would necessarily violate physical laws due to the absence of a coherent mechanism.
Unclear. Claims to produce power from plasma and high voltage electricity, but the described process appears to use electrical energy to accelerate ions to drive a turbine, implying the electrical input is the primary energy source.
The device is an electrically-driven plasma accelerator coupled to a turbine. It violates the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy conservation) because it claims to produce net power output while its only clear energy input is the high-voltage electricity used to create and repel the plasma. No external fuel, chemical reaction, or ambient energy gradient is identified to provide a net energy source beyond the electrical input.
Unclear. Claims imply continuous or pulsed thrust (impulse/m) from electrostatic/rotational configuration without identifying an external energy source beyond the 512kV potential and rotation energy inputs.
The claim violates conservation of momentum by suggesting a closed system (rotating/oscillating disk) can produce net thrust without expelling reaction mass or coupling to an external field. The presented equation is physically nonsensical and the 512kV threshold is arbitrary, indicating a fundamental misunderstanding of electrodynamics and mechanics.
The only explicit energy source is the electrical input from the on-board power supply. The claim implies the propulsion force is generated solely from the internal asymmetric interaction of the conductors, with no external reaction mass or interaction.
The device claims to produce a propulsive force on itself through purely internal electrical interactions, with no expulsion of reaction mass or external interaction. This is a textbook violation of Newton's third law and the conservation of momentum, making it a reactionless drive, which is thermodynamically impossible.
Unclear. Claims to use 'electricity that polarized and stored around the earth's center' - no known, measurable energy gradient or physical mechanism is specified.
The claim violates the first law of thermodynamics by proposing to extract unlimited energy from an undefined, static source without any mechanism to do work. It uses vaguely defined physics terms ('polarized electricity stored around earth's center') to describe a perpetual energy source, which is thermodynamically impossible.

2,029 patents with unclear or incomplete energy accounting
Ambient thermal energy (heat) is claimed as the input, with the asymmetric element (electrets, dissimilar materials, or membranes) supposedly converting this into electrical potential via spontaneous charge separation in the electrolyte.
The patent describes a capacitor structure that may create an initial voltage via electrets or dissimilar materials, but its claim to continuously convert ambient thermal energy into electricity violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as it lacks a necessary temperature gradient or identified entropy sink. It confuses a static charge storage device with a continuous heat engine.
Ambient thermal/kinetic energy of air molecules, plus electrical energy input to the ion creator and static field means.
The described system appears to be an electrostatic generator that uses input energy to create ions and establish a field to separate them. Without a complete energy balance, it's unclear if it can produce net power, as it risks being a lossy charge pump rather than a net energy source.
Ambient environmental energy (thermal, light, mechanical) converted via thermoelectric, photovoltaic, and piezoelectric effects, with AI optimization of collection and distribution.
The patent describes a system harvesting ambient energy (heat, light, vibration) using known physical principles, which is valid. However, it obfuscates with speculative AI, quantum, and biological feedback components while making no quantitative claims about output power or efficiency, making it impossible to verify if the overall system could actually power devices as implied.
Ambient/input heat to vaporize the working fluid under vacuum, causing fluid/vapor flow to drive a magnetic element.
The apparatus appears to be a low-grade heat engine or flow generator using a vacuum to lower boiling point. The core issue is incomplete energy accounting: the electrical output is presumably less than the heat input required to drive the fluid flow and cycle the system, but this is not addressed. The description lacks the necessary thermodynamic details to confirm a closed, sustainable cycle with net power output.
Unclear. The patent describes a magnetic motor with a specific arrangement of neodymium magnets on two disks, implying that the magnetic configuration itself provides motive force. No external electrical, chemical, or environmental input is explicitly mentioned, suggesting the claim may be for a system powered solely by permanent magnets.
The patent describes a magnetic motor but fails to identify the source of energy required to overcome friction, resistance, and magnetic hysteresis to produce net electrical output. A system relying solely on fixed permanent magnets cannot produce continuous work, as it would constitute a perpetual motion machine of the first kind. The claims are therefore questionable and require a full energy accounting to be valid.
Unclear. The patent describes an 'electret elastomer' (a dielectric material with quasi-permanent electric charge) possibly combined with a 'urethane-based elastomer' and 'filler' (likely barium titanate or similar ceramic). Claims suggest energy storage/release from the material's electret properties, but no clear external energy input mechanism is specified.
The patent describes a specialized electret elastomer composite material but fails to identify any external energy source or complete energy conversion cycle. While the material properties (high resistivity, piezoelectric/ferroelectric filler) suggest possible energy storage or passive sensing applications, the claims are presented in a way that could be misinterpreted as describing an energy source without thermodynamic input, requiring significant scrutiny.
Thermal energy input from heating device in reservoir, ambient air, and possibly electrical input for heating.
The patent describes a device using heat to create charged high-speed liquid microjets but provides no complete energy balance or performance data. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, the vague 'thermally driven electrokinetic' mechanism and lack of quantitative efficiency claims make it impossible to verify thermodynamic compliance, raising strong suspicion of incomplete accounting or obfuscation.
Ambient thermal energy from water (hot water from solar heater) and mechanical energy from water waves/currents to rotate the outer shell. The device appears to be a combination of a wave-driven rotation system and a thermoelectric generator (TEG) using a temperature gradient between hot and cold water pipes.
The device is a complex underwater system using wave-driven rotation and a solar-heated water thermal gradient to power thermoelectric generators. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, the description lacks clear energy accounting and performance metrics, mixing multiple energy conversion processes in a way that obscures overall efficiency and raises questions about its practical net energy output.
Unclear. The system appears to be a transformer cooling system with air/water circulation components, but no explicit energy input is specified. Likely electrical power for the transformer and possibly pumps/fans, though ambient thermal energy might be involved in cooling.
The patent describes a complex cooling system for transformers with multiple air/water circulation paths, but fails to specify energy inputs or provide quantitative performance data. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, the claims about 'energy resource reuse' and efficient cooling without affecting transformer operation are vague and lack proper thermodynamic accounting, making the actual energy balance impossible to verify.
Waste heat from the vehicle engine is collected via a heat pipe and converted to electricity using the Seebeck effect (thermoelectric generator). The generated electricity charges the vehicle battery.
The system describes a thermoelectric generator (TEG) using the Seebeck effect to convert engine waste heat to electricity. While this is physically possible, the patent language is vague on efficiency claims and fails to properly account for all energy inputs, creating risk of misinterpretation as a perpetual motion or over-unity device. The core concept is valid waste heat recovery, but the presentation is questionable.
Ambient humidity gradient (water vapor concentration difference) driving electrochemical reactions or ion transport through carbon quantum dot composite material.
The patent describes a humidity-based electricity generator using carbon quantum dots but fails to specify the actual energy source or provide energy accounting. While harvesting energy from humidity gradients is physically possible (like in hygroelectric generators), the claims lack quantitative performance data and proper thermodynamic analysis, making the physics unclear and incomplete.
Ambient thermal energy (temperature differential) and mechanical energy from robot leg motion (piezoelectric/pressure generation). Claims to combine liquid metal gallium alloy shock absorption with thermoelectric and piezoelectric generators.
The patent describes a robot leg/foot system with multiple energy harvesting mechanisms (thermoelectric, piezoelectric) integrated into shock absorbers. While individual components are physically possible, the claims lack quantitative energy accounting and create ambiguity about whether the system could truly be 'self-powered' for robotic locomotion, suggesting incomplete energy analysis rather than explicit violation.
High-temperature fluid (presumably heated by external source) flows through channels between thermoelectric conversion plates. The device appears to be a thermoelectric generator (Seebeck effect) converting heat to electricity.
The device describes a thermoelectric generator assembly, which is a valid physics concept. However, the claims of increased efficiency through structural arrangement are vague and lack quantitative comparison to known thermodynamic limits for thermoelectric materials, placing it in the 'questionable' category pending specific performance data.
Unclear. Claims to convert thermal energy to electrical energy using a multi-layer structure with nanoparticles, but no specification of the thermal gradient source, ambient energy input, or external work input.
The patent describes a complex multi-layer device with nanoparticles claimed to enhance thermal-to-electrical conversion, but it lacks any quantitative energy balance or specification of the thermal source. The use of technical terms without clear physical principles and the absence of thermodynamic limits suggests an incomplete accounting of energy inputs, making the claims questionable rather than demonstrably violating conservation laws.
Unclear. The patent describes a thermoelectric module with a specific fin and substrate arrangement, but does not specify any external energy input or thermal gradient source. Implied energy might come from ambient heat, but no mechanism for creating or maintaining a necessary temperature difference is described.
The patent describes a geometric configuration of a thermoelectric module but fails to specify the source of energy or the thermal gradient required for thermoelectric generation. Without a described mechanism to create or maintain a temperature difference, the device appears to be a passive structure that cannot produce net electrical output, suggesting incomplete energy accounting or technical obfuscation.
Ambient electromagnetic waves (wireless communication signals) converted to electricity via detection coil, then used to power light-emitting diodes
The device appears to harvest ambient RF energy from wireless communications to power LEDs, which is physically possible but questionable due to lack of quantitative efficiency claims and potential implication of energy multiplication through stacking. The description uses correct technical terms but obscures whether the output light energy exceeds the harvested input energy.
Unclear. The device appears to use permanent magnets and a rotating/translating mechanism to supposedly achieve magnetization and demagnetization cycles. The energy input for the magnetic work (magnetizing/demagnetizing) and for overcoming mechanical friction is not specified.
The patent describes a complex permanent magnet device but fails to specify the source of energy required to perform the claimed magnetic work (magnetization/demagnetization). The language is vague and obfuscates the fundamental energy accounting, making it impossible to verify compliance with conservation laws.
Ambient thermal gradient via thermoelectric generator (TEG) attached to grounding plate, possibly supplemented by electrical grid potential differences.
The patent describes attaching a thermoelectric generator to a lightning arrester's grounding plate, which could legitimately harvest small amounts of energy from any existing temperature difference. However, the language suggests the device 'generates electricity inside the lightning arrester' without clarifying the energy source's sustainability or magnitude, creating potential for misinterpretation as over-unity operation.
Temperature gradient between body heat (via heat collector) and ambient environment (via heat dissipator), converted to electricity via thermoelectric modules
This describes a wearable thermoelectric generator that appears physically possible in principle, but the abstract makes exaggerated claims that ignore practical thermodynamic limits. While body heat can power micro-watt devices, the description lacks quantitative performance data and makes implausible claims about universal applicability without addressing gradient maintenance or realistic efficiency constraints.
Gravitational potential energy of a ball rolling down an inverted conical/parabolic path, possibly with ambient vibration sensing
The device appears to be a gravity-powered ball rolling down a conical path to trigger a switch, with claims of converting physical vibrations to electrical signals. While gravity is a valid energy source, the patent lacks clear energy accounting, specifies no input power, and uses vague physics terminology about 'vibration sensing' and energy conversion without explaining the working principle or efficiency limits.
Ambient thermal energy from biomass combustion (bio-waste) converted to electricity via thermoelectric generators (TEGs) using temperature gradients between combustion chamber and cooling system.
The device appears to be a biomass-fueled thermoelectric generator, which is physically possible in principle. However, the patent lacks complete energy accounting, makes vague performance claims without thermodynamic analysis, and uses technical obfuscation by describing complex mechanical arrangements without quantifying efficiency or comparing outputs to theoretical limits.
Ambient temperature gradient (thermoelectric generation) and external electrical power for water pump. The system claims to use thermoelectric modules to generate electricity from the temperature difference between water pipe and environment, then uses that electricity to power wireless control units and valves.
The system uses thermoelectric modules to generate electricity from the hot water's temperature gradient, but this extraction cools the water, working against the heating purpose. While individual components (valves, wireless control) are physically possible, the overall energy narrative is incomplete and potentially misleading about net energy savings for water heating.
Ambient wind energy (kinetic) and solar thermal energy (via solar water heater) are claimed as primary inputs. The device appears to be a floating structure with wind-driven rotation that enhances heat dissipation in cold water tanks, creating/maintaining a temperature gradient for thermoelectric generators.
The device uses real energy sources (wind and solar thermal) but the description is mechanically convoluted and lacks quantitative analysis. The central questionable claim is that wind-driven rotation of components 'enhances heat dissipation' to improve thermoelectric generator output, without demonstrating that the energy invested in rotation yields a net gain relative to a stationary system. It does not clearly violate conservation laws, but its alleged benefits are vague and unsubstantiated.
External electrical power supply connected to stator coils, with switching controlled by magnetic field sensors/contactors. No additional energy harvesting mechanisms described.
The patent describes a complex electric motor with two configurations and a switching system controlled by magnetic fields. While it does not explicitly claim over-unity performance, the intricate design focused on switching the power supply in sync with rotor position, combined with a lack of clear efficiency or performance data, suggests an attempt to obfuscate the fundamental energy source, which remains the external electrical input. This triggers scrutiny under Pattern C.
Ambient heat from the environment (via 'heat recovery') and an unspecified temperature difference driving thermoelectric generation. The system appears to use pumps and motors to circulate working fluid, suggesting electrical input is required.
The device describes a complex heat recovery and thermoelectric generation system but fails to account for all energy inputs, particularly the electricity needed to run its pumps, motors, and lifting mechanism. The description uses correct-sounding thermal engineering terms but is vague on the primary energy source and quantitative performance, making it impossible to verify compliance with thermodynamic laws.
Unclear. The patent describes a touch-based authentication system using 'thermoelectric conversion elements' that generate electricity when touched, but doesn't specify the ultimate energy source. Likely converts body heat or ambient thermal gradients via thermoelectric effect.
This appears to be a touch-based authentication system using thermoelectric elements, not an energy generation device. While thermoelectric generation from body heat is physically possible, the patent focuses on security patterns rather than energy physics, making its thermodynamic claims impossible to evaluate properly. The technical description is obfuscated by being embedded in an authentication context.
Unclear. The device appears to be a waste heat recovery system for chemical equipment, but the description lacks specification of the primary energy input (chemical process heat) and how the claimed heat reuse mechanism actually extracts and converts energy. Mentions capacitors, motors, turbines, and generators in a complex arrangement without clear thermodynamic pathways.
The patent describes a complex apparatus for chemical equipment waste heat reuse but fails to define the energy conversion process or provide quantitative performance claims. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, the vague description and lack of thermodynamic analysis make its feasibility and actual benefit impossible to assess, falling into patterns of incomplete accounting and technical obfuscation.
Ambient thermal energy harvested via thermoelectric generator (temperature difference between heat dissipation sheet and environment). Electrical system includes battery, power management circuit, and processor.
The patent describes a lamp with a thermoelectric generator, but fails to identify a sustainable source for the required temperature gradient. The system appears to claim autonomous operation by harvesting ambient energy, which suggests incomplete energy accounting and risks violating thermodynamic limits if it implies net energy output without a sufficient external gradient.
Ambient thermal energy converted via thermoelectric generators (TEGs), with electrical output stored in a capacitor/battery. USB port provides output from stored energy.
The device appears to be a thermoelectric generator system that converts ambient heat to electricity for USB charging. However, the patent lacks critical details on how the necessary temperature gradient is maintained and makes vague claims about 'fully utilizing energy' without providing efficiency calculations or complete energy accounting, making its net energy output claims impossible to verify physically.
Wind energy (via wind turbine transmission system) converted to mechanical rotation of a rotor that slides against a stator, with electrical output claimed from contact electrification/triboelectric effects at a fractal interface.
The device is fundamentally a wind-driven triboelectric generator, not a perpetual motion machine, so its primary energy source is valid (wind). However, the patent description obscures the well-known severe limitations of such devices—low current, high voltage, high impedance, and poor durability—by framing it as a novel, efficient wind generator. The lack of performance metrics and the claim of direct battery storage without power electronics make the claims questionable from an engineering physics perspective.
Wave and ocean current energy captured by a transmission system, converted to mechanical motion that drives relative sliding between a rotor (with first semiconductor layer) and stator (with second semiconductor layer or metal layer).
The device appears to be a wave energy harvester with an unusual and poorly described electrical generator component based on sliding semiconductor contacts. While the initial ocean energy source is valid, the described electricity generation mechanism is highly questionable and likely extremely inefficient, relying on triboelectric effects rather than a robust electromagnetic or piezoelectric conversion. The patent obscures the actual physics and efficiency.
Thermal gradient between two counter-flowing fluid streams in nested tubes, with semiconductor thermoelectric elements converting heat flow to electricity
The device appears to be a nested-tube thermoelectric assembly using counter-flowing fluids to maintain a temperature gradient across semiconductor elements. While the basic physics of thermoelectric generation is valid, the claims lack quantitative energy accounting and could imply impossible performance if interpreted as producing more energy than required to maintain the fluid flow and temperature difference.
Ambient thermal gradient between two fluid streams flowing in opposite directions, plus electrical input to semiconductor elements (Peltier/TEG devices).
The patent describes a complex hybrid system using semiconductor elements between two heat exchangers with counter-flowing fluids. While individual components (heat pumps, TEGs) are valid, the integrated claims of simultaneous high-efficiency thermal management and power generation from the same temperature gradient, without clear system boundaries and net energy accounting, create high risk of thermodynamic misinterpretation or implied perpetual motion.
Unclear. The device appears to use a thermoelectric conversion layer between a hot central processor and a cold display module, converting the temperature gradient into electricity. Claims suggest this electricity can power the device or charge its battery.
The patent describes a thermoelectric generator placed between a hot processor and a cold display to harvest waste heat. While thermoelectric harvesting is physically valid, the claims are structured to imply a significant or self-sustaining energy recovery, which is thermodynamically limited. The energy accounting is incomplete, ignoring the primary energy input and the cooling system's energy cost, making the overall performance claims questionable.
Solar thermal energy from a concentrator (focal point heating) is used to heat water, creating a temperature gradient across a thermoelectric generator (TEG). The cold side of the TEG is cooled by a non-flowing water body via a heat sink.
The device appears to be a solar-thermoelectric generator, which is physically possible. However, the claims are vague, contain technical obfuscation, and ignore the critical thermodynamic limits and practical engineering challenges that would determine its actual, very low, efficiency and power output.
Gas stove flame (chemical energy from gas combustion) provides thermal energy to thermocouples, which generate electricity via Seebeck effect to power batteries and electromagnetic valves.
This appears to be a thermoelectric energy harvesting system for gas stove flame detection, but the patent language is vague about quantitative energy flows and whether the thermocouple generates enough electricity to reliably power the electromagnetic valve without external energy input, raising questions about complete energy accounting.
The device appears to use a temperature gradient between a heat source (coil generating heat) and a cold sink (water cooled via heat sink) to drive thermoelectric generation. The 'conductive thermal rod' may be intended to concentrate or guide heat from the coil to the thermoelectric module.
The device describes a thermoelectric generator using a temperature gradient, which is physically valid in principle. However, the patent claim is questionable because it fails to specify the primary energy source for the heating coil and obscures whether the 'conductive thermal rod' is claimed to provide an unexplained energy benefit beyond simple heat conduction.
Thermal gradient between hot water inside the thermos and ambient air outside. The thermoelectric generator converts this temperature difference into electrical energy.
The device uses a thermoelectric generator to harvest energy from the temperature difference between hot water and ambient air, which is physically possible.

Thermal energy from the heat source (e.g., electronic component) drives a phase change and fluid flow in a heat pipe. The kinetic energy of the moving working fluid (vapor) is used to spin a rotor connected to a generator.
The device is a heat engine built into a heat pipe. While physically possible to generate a tiny amount of electricity from the vapor flow, this extraction will impede the heat pipe's primary cooling function.

Ambient solar radiation (primary) and wind energy (secondary). The device also mentions a 'temperature difference' component, but the description is unclear whether this refers to a thermoelectric generator using ambient thermal gradients or an electrically heated system.
The device combines legitimate solar PV and wind generation, but its 'temperature difference power generation' component is described opaquely. The inclusion of electric heating elements suggests it may consume more energy to create a thermal gradient than it produces, violating clear energy accounting.

The device uses a thermoelectric generator to convert waste heat from internal components back into electricity for recharging. While this is physically possible, the second law of thermodynamics dictates that the electricity recovered will always be less than the energy originally lost as heat, making net battery life extension from this method alone highly unlikely without an external cooling source to enhance the temperature gradient.

The core physics issue is that the described 'dual oscillating heat pipe' system seems to function as an active heat pump cycle without identifying the required work input. This creates a risk of incomplete energy accounting, where the electrical output of the TEG might be mistakenly compared only to solar input, ignoring the electrical energy needed to sustain the heat pipe oscillation that maintains the critical temperature gradient.
Thermal energy input (heat source) converted directly to electrical energy via unspecified 'thermal energy direct power generation chip' - appears to be a thermoelectric or similar direct conversion device using hot and cold fluid channels.
The patent describes a direct-contact thermal-to-electrical conversion device using specialized chips, but provides no quantitative performance data or clear thermodynamic analysis. While thermoelectric conversion is physically possible, the claims of enhanced efficiency and reduced flow requirements without specifying limits raises questions about complete energy accounting and thermodynamic compliance.
Primary: Chemical energy from hydrogen gas (produced by an on-board hydrogen generator). Secondary/Backup: Stored electrical energy from a battery bank. The system uses an internal combustion engine to convert hydrogen's chemical energy into mechanical work, which drives an alternator to produce electricity.
The system is a hydrogen-fueled generator, but its claim of being 'self-sustaining' is problematic. The patent fails to specify the energy source for the hydrogen generator; if it is powered by the system's own output, net energy production is impossible due to conversion losses. Without this clarification, the energy accounting is incomplete.
Ambient wind kinetic energy, captured and concentrated through a hemispherical shell with internal flow channels and a straight-flow guide, then directed to a turbine generator.
The device appears to be a wind energy converter with unconventional flow concentration geometry. While it likely functions as a wind turbine, the claims of omnidirectional efficiency and universal wind speed operation are exaggerated without supporting physics or data, and the complex internal flow paths may introduce substantial losses not accounted for.
Solar thermal energy (sunlight heating water) and electrical input to circulation pump
The device appears to be a solar thermal system using a thermoelectric generator, but the description is physically ambiguous. While solar input is legitimate, the arrangement of components (thermoelectric hot/cold sides, cooler, heat dissipation plates) suggests possible confusion about how net electrical output is achieved, with incomplete accounting of pump work versus generated electricity.
Human kinetic energy from dancing (pressure/piezoelectric conversion) and ambient sound energy (acoustic energy harvesting). System also connects to external grid for backup.
The system describes legitimate energy harvesting technologies (piezoelectric and acoustic), but makes exaggerated claims about solving energy stability problems without providing quantitative physics.

Ambient thermal gradient between hot and cold reservoirs (manure storage and cooling storage). The device appears to be a thermoelectric generator (TEG) using a temperature difference.
The device is fundamentally a thermoelectric generator, which is a valid but low-efficiency heat engine. The patent description is mechanically detailed but thermodynamically vague, using language that could imply over-unity performance without providing measurable claims. The inclusion of energy storage components further obscures the net energy accounting.
Unclear. The device appears to be a sensor-packed hemispherical enclosure with a piezoelectric transducer, infrared emitter, wireless transmitter, and various environmental sensors. No explicit energy input mechanism is described, though the title suggests 'temperature difference power generation' (thermoelectric or similar).
The patent describes a complex sensor array in a hemispherical shell but fails to specify a coherent energy conversion mechanism. While temperature difference generation is theoretically possible (via thermoelectric, pyroelectric, or other effects), the described components don't form a clear thermodynamic system, and no energy balance or efficiency claims are made, leaving the fundamental physics unaddressed.
Solar thermal energy (primary) with possible ambient heat recovery from waste streams
The system attempts to extract electricity multiple times from a single solar thermal stream using cascaded generators, but the description lacks critical details about temperature degradation, heat rejection, and parasitic losses, making its net efficiency claims impossible to evaluate. While solar input is legitimate, the proposed multi-stage extraction appears to violate energy conservation by implying the same heat can perform work repeatedly without adequate replenishment of the temperature gradient.
Ambient thermal energy from the environment, converted via a thermoelectric generator (TEG) using a temperature gradient maintained by heat pipes.
The device uses thermoelectric generation, which requires a temperature difference, but the described configuration of heat pipes appears to passively transfer heat between the TEG's hot and cold sides without an external energy source to maintain the gradient. This suggests either incomplete accounting of energy inputs (like an unmentioned heat source/sink) or a thermodynamic misunderstanding where passive heat transfer would equalize temperatures, stopping power generation.
Hydrogen fuel cell waste heat (primary) and high-pressure hydrogen expansion cooling effect (secondary). The system attempts to use fuel cell waste heat as a hot source for thermoelectric generation, and the cold hydrogen gas from the expansion valve as a cold sink.
The system attempts to improve overall efficiency by using fuel cell waste heat and hydrogen expansion cooling to drive a thermoelectric generator. However, it fails to properly account for the compression energy stored in the high-pressure hydrogen tank. The additional electricity generated comes from consuming the enthalpy of the stored hydrogen, not from 'free' waste energy recovery, and is subject to low thermoelectric conversion efficiency.
Ambient thermal gradient (waste heat) via thermoelectric generator (TEG), plus electrical input for lighting, motor, and control components.
The device uses a thermoelectric generator to convert waste heat into electricity, which is then used to power its own lights, controls, and a vibration-damping motor. While thermoelectric generation is physically valid, the patent implies overall energy savings without providing the necessary energy balance, making it likely a net energy consumer rather than a generator, and its claims are vague and obfuscated.
Thermal gradient within the battery pack (Seebeck effect via thermoelectric modules) and electrical energy from the battery itself to power the control system.
The system attempts to use internal battery temperature differences to generate electricity via the Seebeck effect, but this directly conflicts with the goal of temperature equalization. The energy to run the control system ultimately comes from the battery, and the patent lacks a complete energy balance showing a net gain, making its efficiency claims questionable.
Ambient temperature gradient (projector outer shell vs. internal heat dissipation sheet) converted via thermoelectric generator to power a fan for forced air cooling
The device attempts to use waste heat from a projector's cooling sheet to generate electricity via thermoelectric effect, then uses that electricity to power a fan for forced air cooling.

Primary electrical input to LED and fan. Claims to use thermoelectric generator (TEG) to convert waste heat from LED back into electricity, which is then fed back into the power supply unit.
The device combines an LED light with a fan and a thermoelectric generator (TEG) to recover waste heat. While the individual components are physically possible, the described energy recovery scheme is thermodynamically questionable because the TEG requires the LED's waste heat to function, and recycling that energy cannot improve overall efficiency beyond the input power. The patent lacks crucial quantitative analysis to disprove a perpetual motion implication.
Electrical input to semiconductor cooling chips (Peltier/TEC) and fans/pumps for heat rejection. Claims suggest additional thermoelectric generation from waste heat via temperature difference chips.
The patent describes a semiconductor air conditioning module that combines Peltier cooling with thermoelectric power generation from waste heat. While each individual component is physically valid, the combination raises questions about net energy efficiency since thermoelectric generators have low efficiency, and using them to recover waste heat from a cooling system would not produce more energy than the cooling system consumes. The lack of quantitative performance claims prevents definitive violation detection, but the architecture suggests questionable energy accounting.
Sunlight (solar radiation) is the primary energy source, converted via photovoltaic or thermoelectric components. The tracking mechanism claims to be 'zero-energy-consumption' (无能耗), implying it uses ambient energy or passive mechanisms.
The core solar power generation is valid, but the claim of a 'zero-energy-consumption' sun-tracking mechanism is highly questionable. Any physical tracking system requires energy to move; labeling it as zero-consumption obscures its actual energy source, which likely comes from ambient thermal gradients or a parasitic draw from the generated electricity, violating complete energy accounting.
Primary: Vehicle electrical system (battery). Secondary claimed source: Thermoelectric generator (TEG) converting waste heat from LED heatsink and collected ambient heat into electricity stored in a capacitor/battery unit.
The device is primarily a dual-function LED vehicle lamp with smart fog detection. Its questionable aspect is an integrated thermoelectric generator (TEG) intended to convert ambient/waste heat into electricity to power the lamp. The TEG's described thermal configuration is inefficient and unlikely to produce meaningful net power, risking an implication of over-unity or incomplete energy accounting.
Thermal gradient between hot and cold ends (temperature difference), but no explicit external energy input is described to create or maintain this gradient.
The patent describes a layered thermoelectric module but makes vague performance claims while omitting the essential energy source needed to create the hot-cold temperature difference.

Primary: Solar radiation (via concentrator mirrors). Secondary: Electrical input for pumps, motors, and control systems.
The device appears to be a complex solar thermal system with thermoelectric generation, but the patent description lacks rigorous energy accounting.

Unclear. The patent describes a 'thermoelectric conversion module' with multiple thermoelectric elements, semiconductor layers, and electrode pads, but provides no explicit energy input mechanism. Implied energy source appears to be ambient thermal energy, but no temperature gradient or heat source/sink is specified.
The patent describes only the structural arrangement of a thermoelectric module without specifying any energy input mechanism or operational principles. While the structure itself doesn't inherently violate physics, the complete absence of energy accounting and thermodynamic context makes the claims questionable. Without a defined temperature gradient or power source, it's impossible to evaluate its energy conversion claims.
Thermal gradient between hot water (from unspecified source) and cold water (from underwater reservoirs). The device appears to be a thermoelectric generator (TEG) array using this temperature difference.
The device is fundamentally a thermoelectric generator using a water temperature gradient, which is physically possible.

Solar photovoltaic panels (primary), ambient thermal gradient via thermoelectric generators (secondary), with battery storage and inverter for lighting. Claims auxiliary wind generation.
The system combines legitimate technologies (PV, TEG, battery) but describes a thermoelectric generator setup that appears to claim significant power generation from an ambient air-to-ground gradient facilitated by moisture collection, which is thermodynamically dubious without a clear, sustained heat source. The lack of quantitative performance claims and ambiguous energy flow description prevents a clear validity assessment, raising red flags.

The patent describes a waste heat recovery system using thermoelectric generators to power cooling modules for printing/drying equipment. While thermoelectric generation from waste heat is physically valid, the claim of using that electricity to power cooling for the same system raises questions about net energy benefit and complete energy accounting, as TEG efficiency is low and the cooling load may exceed the generated power.
Ambient thermal energy from smartphone components (CPU/SoC heat) and potentially body heat when handheld, converted via thermoelectric generator (TEG).
The patent describes a thermoelectric generator inside a smartphone that harvests waste heat from the processor or body heat. While thermoelectric generation is physically valid, the claims are vague about net power output versus device consumption and imply extended operation without clarifying if it's supplemental or primary—suggesting incomplete energy accounting typical of overclaimed energy harvesting patents.
Electrical input to semiconductor cooling chips (Peltier devices) plus potential thermal energy harvesting via thermoelectric generator from waste heat gradient
The patent describes a hybrid cooling system combining semiconductor Peltier coolers with phase-change thermal storage, which is physically plausible. However, claims about extended cooling after power-off and reduced temperature fluctuations during frequent on/off cycling are presented without quantitative analysis of energy flows, suggesting technical obfuscation rather than clear thermodynamic violation.
Sunlight (photovoltaic conversion) plus waste heat recovery using thermoelectric generators (TEGs). Claims to use 'excess heat' from PV panels for secondary electricity generation via TEGs.
The device combines solar PV with thermoelectric generators to recover waste heat. While not inherently impossible, the claims are vague on critical thermal management details, creating a strong impression of double-counting energy or exceeding thermodynamic limits for the combined system. The primary energy source is valid (sunlight), but the description suggests unrealistic gains from waste heat recovery.
Ambient chemical/metabolic energy from bacteria, potentially converted to mechanical motion and then to electrostatic charge separation via influence.
The concept proposes extracting electricity from bacterial motion via electrostatic influence, which is not inherently a violation if the bacteria's metabolic energy is the ultimate source. However, the claim is vague, provides no complete energy balance, and uses correct physics terms ('electrostatic', 'influence generator') in an unclear and potentially misleading context, making it questionable rather than demonstrably valid.
Unclear. The patent describes a magnetic motor with two rotating assemblies (first and second magnetic rotors) and permanent magnets arranged to create magnetic repulsion between them. No external electrical input, fuel, or ambient energy harvesting mechanism is specified.
The patent describes a magnetic motor using permanent magnets arranged for repulsion between two rotors on the same shaft. Since permanent magnets are conservative force sources (like springs), any work extracted from their attraction/repulsion must be paid back when the cycle completes, preventing net energy output without an external energy source. This suggests a perpetual motion machine of the first kind.
Primary: Chemical energy from fuel in the internal combustion engine (1). Secondary: Waste heat from exhaust gases captured via thermoelectric generator (3) attached to exhaust pipe system (2). The system includes a 'new energy vehicle battery pack' (5) connected to a transformer (4), suggesting potential electrical energy storage/input.
The patent describes a thermoelectric generator on an engine exhaust to recover waste heat, which is physically plausible. However, the energy accounting is incomplete, and the inclusion of a battery pack and transformer without clarifying their role introduces ambiguity about whether all energy inputs are being fairly counted, moving it from 'valid' to 'questionable'.

The patent describes a temperature difference generator but fails to account for the complete energy cycle. It uses technically correct components (heat exchangers, pumps) in an ambiguous arrangement that obscures how net work is extracted from the heat gradient.

The patent describes a device powered by a thermoelectric generator harvesting ambient temperature differences. While thermoelectric generation is physically valid, the claims are vague and lack quantitative energy accounting, making it questionable whether the generated power can realistically sustain the described electronic components without an auxiliary power source.
Primary: Solar thermal energy collected by solar absorber (1) and stored in liquid thermal storage tank (2). Secondary: Thermoelectric generation (3) using temperature gradient between thermal storage tank and heat dissipation fin/channel (4) cooled by fan (5) or cooling device (9).
The system appears to be a solar thermal collector with thermoelectric generation and integrated air conditioning. However, the patent language obfuscates a critical flaw: it describes a feedback loop where the system's internal power consumption (for fans and coolers) is supplied by its own generator, creating an implied perpetual motion cycle if external solar input is insufficient. The energy accounting is incomplete, making the claimed 'regenerative' functionality highly questionable under thermodynamics.
Primary energy appears to come from an engine (20) that heats a second fluid, creating a temperature gradient across a thermoelectric generator (10). The control device (50) monitors electrical parameters to detect faults.

The device is a thermoelectric generator (TEG) system that recovers waste heat from welding. While the core physics of thermoelectric conversion is valid, the patent's language suggests 'energy saving' benefits that likely stem from ignoring the primary energy input (the welding torch itself).

Wind energy is the primary input, converted to thermal energy via magnetic eddy current heating, then to electricity via thermoelectric generators.
The system appears to convert wind to heat via eddy currents, store the heat, then convert heat to electricity via thermoelectrics. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, the double energy conversion through inherently inefficient processes (eddy current heating ~80-90% loss, thermoelectrics ~90-95% loss) would result in extremely poor overall efficiency compared to direct wind generation, making the practical utility highly questionable.
Thermoelectric generator (TEG) using temperature difference between hot and cold water pipes, with energy storage in capacitors/batteries. The system appears to use grid power (via step-down circuit) for control electronics when active.
The device uses a real thermoelectric generator to harvest energy from water temperature differences, which is physically valid. However, the patent implies a self-sustaining, maintenance-free operation that raises questions about net energy balance, as the control electronics likely consume more power than a small TEG can continuously supply. The energy accounting is incomplete, making the overall feasibility questionable without performance data.
Unclear. The device appears to be a magnetic motor arrangement with gears, cylinders, metal rods, rotating bases, baffles, exhaust devices, and pushers, but no explicit energy input is described. Any claimed motion would require external energy input.
The patent describes a complex magnetic-mechanical assembly but completely fails to identify any energy source. The arrangement of gears, magnets, baffles, and pushers suggests an attempt to create a self-sustaining magnetic motor, which would violate energy conservation if it claims to produce net work without an external energy input.

The patent language is vague on energy balances.
Ambient thermal energy from the environment (via the 'hot drink' and 'thermal response surface'), converted to electrical energy via a thermoelectric generator (energy conversion chip).
The device appears to be a thermoelectric generator (TEG) powered by a hot drink, but the description suggests it aims to harvest ambient thermal energy indefinitely. Without a maintained temperature gradient (e.g., between the drink and a cooler sink), it cannot continuously generate net power, as this would violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The claims are vague and lack the necessary physical parameters for a valid assessment.

A temperature difference between the hot water from the CPC-PV/T system and cold water from a storage tank drives a thermoelectric generator (TEG).
The system is a combination of known technologies (concentrated PV/T and a thermoelectric generator). It does not violate conservation laws, as all energy originates from sunlight. However, the patent's claim of improved overall efficiency by adding a TEG is physically questionable, as the TEG merely converts a portion of the captured thermal energy into electricity at low efficiency, likely reducing the net useful thermal output. The description lacks rigorous energy accounting to support the improvement claim.

Electrical input to compressor (primary), plus waste heat recovery from condenser via thermoelectric generators
The patent describes attaching thermoelectric generators to an air conditioner's condenser to convert waste heat into electricity, but fails to account for the thermodynamic penalty: extracting electricity from the heat rejection process either reduces cooling efficiency or requires additional heat dissipation, making net energy savings questionable without violating conservation laws.
Ambient thermal gradient between environment and refrigeration/evaporator components, plus electrical input to compressor
The device attempts to generate electricity from temperature differences between refrigeration system components and ambient air using thermoelectric modules. While thermoelectric generation from real temperature gradients is physically valid, the patent implies net energy gain without properly accounting for the compressor's electrical input needed to maintain those gradients, suggesting incomplete energy accounting rather than outright violation.
Thermal energy from hot fluid (80°C+) in district heating pipes, using the temperature gradient between the pipe interior and ambient air (~4°C) as the driving force for thermoelectric generation.
The device is fundamentally a thermoelectric generator harvesting waste heat from district heating pipes, which is physically valid. However, the claimed 500W/m output appears implausibly high for Bi2Te3 materials with the stated temperature difference, suggesting either exaggerated performance or incomplete accounting of the actual heat extraction from the system.

This appears to describe a thermoelectric generator, but the patent language is vague about the primary energy source that maintains the temperature gradient. While thermoelectric conversion itself is valid, the description lacks clear accounting of how the hot fluid is continuously heated, making it impossible to evaluate efficiency or verify that energy conservation is respected.

The device is a thermoelectric generator, which is physically valid in principle. However, the claims are questionable because the patent does not identify a sustained source of heat to maintain the necessary temperature gradient across the TEG. Without an explicit external heat source or a clear explanation of how the magnet remains hotter than ambient, the system's ability to generate 'large' power is dubious and may rely on incomplete energy accounting.

The patent describes a spintronic device structure that could function as an electric motor using spin-transfer torque, which is physically valid. However, the claims are written broadly and lack explicit energy accounting, leaving open the misinterpretation that the spin interaction alone (without net energy input) causes perpetual rotation. This vagueness makes it questionable.
Ambient thermal energy converted via thermoelectric generator (TEG) with unspecified heating component. Claims about 'energy storage materials' and 'uniform heat conduction' suggest possible attempt to use stored/recycled energy.
The device appears to be a thermoelectric generator system with heat spreaders and a heating component. The primary concern is thermodynamic obfuscation: it fails to explicitly account for the primary energy input required to maintain the hot-side temperature of the TEG. The description of 'energy storage materials' in the heat spreaders and the lack of a defined external fuel or power source for the heater raise red flags for incomplete energy accounting, making the system's net energy production claims questionable.
Ambient thermal fluctuations or temperature gradients driving shape memory alloy (SMA) phase transitions, converting thermal energy to mechanical strain in the resilient material, which then strains the piezoelectric material to generate electricity.
The device describes a plausible multi-stage energy harvester converting thermal to mechanical to electrical energy. However, the patent lacks critical details on the energy source and cycle, making it unclear if it could operate from equilibrium thermal fluctuations (a violation) or requires a genuine temperature gradient. Without efficiency claims, it's not a clear violation but is highly questionable due to incomplete physics accounting.
Solar radiation (photovoltaic and thermal). The device appears to be a combined solar photovoltaic panel and solar thermal collector with a cooking/heat storage component.
The patent describes a mechanical assembly combining solar PV, solar thermal, and thermal storage/cooking functions.

Solar radiation (photovoltaic conversion on both sides of the bifacial collector) and thermal energy from solar heating of water, with potential thermoelectric conversion from temperature gradients.
The system appears to be a complex integration of bifacial photovoltaics, solar thermal collection, and thermoelectric generators. While each component individually is physically valid, the patent description lacks rigorous energy accounting and presents potential thermodynamic conflicts between maintaining a temperature gradient for thermoelectric generation while efficiently collecting heat. The vague performance claims and complex stacking of conversion mechanisms raise questions about whether the claimed benefits are physically achievable or merely the sum of outputs from distinct, sub-optimal processes sharing a single energy source.
Solar thermal energy (sunlight heating water in evacuated tube collectors), with thermoelectric generation using temperature differentials between heated water and a heat dissipation unit.
The system appears to be a solar thermal collector with thermoelectric generation and active flow control. While it does not explicitly violate energy conservation (solar input is the primary source), the claims about automatic flow direction control and optimized performance are vague and not supported by clear physics. The description lacks quantitative limits and seems to imply performance enhancements through control logic alone, which is questionable without violating thermodynamics.
Mechanical work input from stretching the deformable body, which is converted to electrical energy via a variable capacitor (dielectric elastomer generator).
The patent describes a dielectric elastomer generator, a legitimate energy harvesting method. However, the claims focus on the electrical cycle and imply optimization, but are vague on the net energy output versus the total mechanical work input, risking the impression of a free energy gain without explicitly stating it.

Mechanical compression of flexible chambers (presumably from foot strikes during walking).
The device appears to be a complex mechanical-to-electrical converter for footwear, but the description lacks critical efficiency analysis and obscures how intermittent foot strikes create continuous motion.

Ambient thermal gradient (temperature difference) via thermoelectric generator (TEG), plus primary electrical input to the system.
The device uses a thermoelectric generator to harvest waste heat from an inverter, partially powering its controller. While this is a valid energy recovery technique, the patent language suggests a reduction in net energy consumption without providing a complete system-level energy balance. The thermoelectric conversion itself is subject to low efficiency (Carnot and material limits), and the claimed benefit is presented in a vague, potentially misleading manner.
Ambient thermal gradient (temperature difference) used by thermoelectric generator to produce electricity, which then powers a semiconductor cooling chip (Peltier). The system appears to use waste heat from the cooling process to generate additional electricity.
The device combines a semiconductor cooler (Peltier) with a thermoelectric generator, suggesting it uses waste heat from cooling to generate electricity. This creates a problematic energy loop. While not explicitly claiming over-unity, the description lacks a clear primary energy input and risks violating the second law of thermodynamics by implying a self-sustaining cycle powered only by its own temperature difference.

The device appears to be a thermoelectric generator configuration, which is physically valid in principle. However, the claims are vague about energy accounting and thermodynamic limits, and the description suggests possible confusion about maintaining temperature gradients without work input, making it questionable rather than clearly valid or violating.
The claimed system uses high-speed hydrogen jet flow to entrain ambient air, creating a mixed gas flow for cooling. The primary energy input appears to be the energy required to create and accelerate the hydrogen jet (compression, pumping, or stored hydrogen pressure). Ambient air is a secondary, passive input.
The method describes using a hydrogen jet to entrain air for enhanced convective cooling, which is a valid fluid dynamics technique. However, the claim that this requires no additional energy is physically impossible, as creating the high-speed jet itself demands an energy input. The patent appears to omit the primary energy cost from its accounting.
Chemical energy from hydrogen combustion provides the primary heat input to the thermoelectric generator's hot side. Ambient air flow (drawn by an ejector) provides cooling to the cold side.
The system uses hydrogen combustion as its primary energy source, which is valid. However, the claims of enhanced cooling 'without additional power' are questionable because moving the hydrogen/air mixture to drive the ejector-based cooling requires energy input that is not properly accounted for in the description. The overall efficiency must consider all energy inputs against the electrical output.
Solar photovoltaic panels (primary) and waste heat from boat engines converted via thermoelectric generators (secondary/backup).
The device combines several real technologies (solar PV, filtration, electrolysis, thermoelectric generation) but presents them in a vague, interconnected manner that obscures a complete energy balance. While no explicit perpetual motion is claimed, the description lacks rigorous accounting of how the electrical energy from solar/waste heat is sufficient to power the purification process, and uses obfuscating technical terms, making its net efficiency and feasibility questionable.

The description suggests potential oversights in managing the cold-side temperature.
Ambient thermal/chemical gradients (water contact, humidity differentials, polymer swelling/deswelling cycles). Claims suggest motion is driven by cyclic swelling/deswelling of heat-responsive polymers in contact with water.
The patent describes a multi-layer film with heat-responsive polymers that swell/deswell in water contact to produce motion. While such motion driven by polymer phase changes is physically possible, the claims lack specification of the required energy input (e.g., thermal cycling, light, chemical gradients) to drive the cycles continuously, making the energy accounting incomplete and the sustained motion claims questionable.
Chemical energy from hydrogen combustion (primary), ambient thermal energy (implicitly via temperature gradient maintenance)
The method describes using flowing hydrogen from a combustor to cool the cold side of a thermoelectric generator (TEG) to maintain its temperature gradient. While not a fundamental violation, the energy accounting is incomplete and obfuscated. The hydrogen's chemical energy provides the hot side heat AND powers the cooling flow; the net system efficiency is unstated and likely poor, not a source of 'free' energy.
Sunlight (photovoltaic conversion) and thermal gradient (thermoelectric conversion) between solar panel backside and heat sink
The device combines photovoltaic panels with thermoelectric generators using the temperature difference between the panel backside and a heat sink. While this is physically possible as waste heat recovery, the claims of 'high efficiency' and 'excellent market prospects' without quantitative comparison to the Carnot limit for thermoelectrics and the Shockley-Queisser limit for photovoltaics suggests incomplete energy accounting. The patent describes a physical arrangement but lacks the rigorous energy balance needed to assess if it violates thermodynamics.
Ambient atmospheric electric field and charge density differential (implicitly). The patent describes harvesting charges from a volumetric area, implying energy from pre-existing electric potential gradients in the environment.
The patent describes a method to maximize conductive surface area to collect ambient electrical charges.

The claims are structured to suggest a simple, direct power solution but omit critical details about power matching and thermodynamic limits, making the overall feasibility questionable.
Thermoelectric generator (TEG) harvesting waste heat from vehicle exhaust pipe, converting temperature gradient between hot exhaust and ambient air into electricity.
The device is a thermoelectric generator on an exhaust pipe, which is physically possible but the claims of 'independent power source' are misleading.

Thermal gradient between external high-temperature and low-temperature heat sources, converted via thermoelectric layers with electrodes arranged in a specific geometric configuration.
The patent describes a thermoelectric element with a specific geometric arrangement of high thermal conductivity parts. While it claims to enhance power generation by transforming an external temperature difference into an internal one, it provides no evidence of exceeding the fundamental thermodynamic limits of thermoelectric conversion (Carnot efficiency and material ZT limits). The focus on geometric ratios without a clear new energy input or violation of known physics makes it questionable, not an outright violation.
Unclear. The description mentions 'star-shaped motor' with coils and magnetic materials, suggesting it's intended as an electric motor, but no electrical input or power source is explicitly identified in the claims. The mechanism appears to be purely mechanical/electromagnetic.
The patent describes a complex mechanical/electromagnetic device but fails to specify any energy input source or quantify input/output power. While not explicitly claiming over-unity, the vague performance claims and lack of energy accounting make it physically questionable. The design appears to be a transmission mechanism rather than a prime mover.
Primary: Solar panels (photovoltaic). Secondary: Thermoelectric generator (TEG) using temperature difference between solar panel backside (hot) and ambient (cool).
The system combines solar panels with thermoelectric generators to use waste heat. While not a fundamental violation of conservation laws, the claimed efficiency improvement is thermodynamically questionable.

The system uses solar thermal energy, which is valid, but the patent makes vague performance claims without specifying the thermodynamic cycle or providing an energy balance. The complex eccentric rotor mechanism does not inherently violate physics, but the lack of quantitative efficiency analysis against thermodynamic limits and incomplete energy accounting make the claims questionable.
Primarily solar thermal energy (sunlight heating collectors and vaporization device) with secondary electrical input to pumps/fans from thermoelectric generation (using temperature differences created by the cooling device).
The system appears to be a solar thermal engine combined with thermoelectric cooling and generation. The primary concern is the circular use of energy: the cooling device's temperature difference is used to generate electricity that powers system components (fans, pumps), creating ambiguity about the net energy balance.

The device appears to be a convection-driven thermoelectric or turbine system. While not inherently impossible, the description lacks critical details on how the temperature gradient is sustained without external work, making its claimed high efficiency questionable. The mention of internal combustion engines suggests the 'waste heat' may actually be from a conventional fuel-burning process, not an ambient source.
The claimed energy source is the temperature gradient between the sea surface (warm) and sea bottom (cold). This is a real environmental gradient (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion - OTEC principle).
The system attempts to harness a legitimate environmental energy source (ocean thermal gradient), but the proposed conversion mechanism is described using obfuscated and likely incorrect semiconductor physics. While the overall goal of OTEC is valid, the specific technical description raises significant red flags regarding the actual working principle.

Ambient energy harvesting: 1) Kinetic energy from phone vibration/shaking (piezoelectric or electromagnetic induction). 2) Thermal energy from the temperature difference between phone interior and external environment (thermoelectric generator).
The device describes two legitimate ambient energy harvesting methods (vibration and thermoelectric). However, the patent's functional claim of charging the phone's battery without an external power source is highly questionable, as the harvested power from these sources in a mobile phone context is typically micro-watts, orders of magnitude lower than the power required to charge a battery. The description lacks the rigorous energy accounting needed to prove a net positive charging cycle.

The patent describes using charged particles and electric fields to extract wind energy, but fails to account for all energy inputs, particularly the substantial electrical energy needed to create charges and maintain fields. While not explicitly violating physics, the vague efficiency claims and incomplete energy balance make it questionable without a detailed thermodynamic analysis.
Unclear. The device requires an initial 'cyclic current' to flow in the inductor to generate a magnetic field, implying an external electrical input is the primary energy source. The claim that this field then induces current in a separate 'inductee' assembly suggests energy transfer via induction, not generation from a novel source.
The patent describes a complex electromagnetic coupling device but fails to identify a source of energy beyond the input current needed to drive the 'inductor'. It appears to be a transformer or coupled inductor system with an unusual geometry, not a power generator.

The system combines solar PV with thermoelectric waste heat recovery, which is a valid concept. However, the claimed 50% total efficiency violates the thermodynamic limit for single-junction solar cells, and the energy flow description suggests double-counting of the solar energy (once in the PV cell and again as 'waste heat' for the TEG). The 500x concentration factor is also highly suspect for practical systems.

Claims suggest using a 'high-temperature selective emitter' (MgO) and a 'low-temperature selective emitter' to create/manipulate thermal radiation.
The patent describes a thermoelectric generator system using selective thermal emitters, but fails to clearly account for the primary high-temperature energy input required to sustain the hot side of the TEG. The language is technically dense but vague, creating risk of misinterpretation as a device that creates useful temperature gradients from ambient conditions without an external power input, which would be thermodynamically impossible.
Chemical energy from butane fuel combustion in the torch (20), with thermoelectric generator (31) converting waste heat to electricity to charge a battery (37).
The device is a butane torch with a thermoelectric generator (TEG) on its waste heat, charging a battery for electronics.

Mains electricity from charging station, stored in capacitors (large capacitor and multiple 'supply capacitors'), then discharged to power a motor. Claims to store energy in the circuit itself and maintain motor operation for several hours.
The patent describes a capacitor-based energy storage and switching system to power a motor. While the individual electrical components are valid, the overall claims are questionable due to incomplete energy accounting and vague, potentially unrealistic performance assertions about sustained operation, without demonstrating compliance with energy conservation.
Waste heat from mobile device components (CPU, GPU, power circuits) converted via thermoelectric generator (TEG) using Seebeck effect.
The system is a thermoelectric waste heat recovery system, which is physically possible but thermodynamically limited. The primary issue is the claim of 'self-charging' and extending usage time without clarifying that it only recovers a tiny fraction of lost energy, and the net system efficiency remains below 100%. The energy ultimately comes from the battery itself, creating a lossy cycle.
Waste heat from laptop components (CPU/GPU) converted to electricity via thermoelectric generator (TEG), stored in lithium battery, then used to power the cooling fan and control system.
The device attempts to harvest laptop waste heat to power its own cooling fan, but the description suggests a closed-loop, self-sustaining system without clarifying if the thermoelectric generator produces enough net power to run the fan and controls after accounting for all losses, which is thermodynamically challenging.
Ambiguous. Mentions thermal gradients (Seebeck effect), hydrogen fuel cells, and possibly chemical energy from hydrogen/oxygen, but the description is unclear about the primary energy source and how components interact. The system appears to combine multiple technologies (fuel cell, thermal electric, propulsion) without clear energy accounting.
The patent describes a complex AIP system combining fuel cells, thermal electric (Seebeck) elements, and propulsion, but fails to provide a complete energy balance or specify the ultimate primary energy source. While individual components (fuel cells, thermoelectrics) are physically valid, the claims are vague and obfuscated, making it impossible to verify compliance with conservation laws without assuming hidden energy inputs.
Waste heat drives fluid circulation via a heat exchanger, creating a pressure difference. The permanent magnet provides a static magnetic field. The moving, pre-oriented magnetic fluid induces a current in the solenoid coil.
The device appears to be a thermosyphon-like loop converting waste heat to fluid flow, then to electricity via induction, which is physically possible. However, the claims are obfuscated by vague mechanisms for fluid pumping and magnetic orientation control, making the net energy balance and efficiency impossible to verify from the description.
Ambient humidity gradient energy (water vapor adsorption/desorption in nanostructured materials). Claims to use hygroscopic polymer (PEDOT:PSS) and metal nanoparticles to generate electricity from humidity changes.
The device appears to be a hygroelectric generator harvesting energy from ambient humidity changes, which is physically possible in principle. However, the claims lack complete energy accounting and quantitative performance metrics needed to verify thermodynamic compliance, placing it in the 'questionable' category requiring experimental validation.
Solar radiation converted via photovoltaic panels (solar cells) and solar thermal collectors (heat pipes). The device claims to additionally generate electricity from temperature differences between the hot end of thermoelectric generators (heated by the heat pipes) and a cold end connected to heat dissipation fins.
The device combines legitimate solar technologies (PV and thermal), but its proposed use of thermoelectric generators on the collected heat flow is thermodynamically questionable. It attempts to extract electrical work twice from the same solar energy stream without acknowledging the inevitable reduction in useful thermal output, risking an implied over-unity claim. The description lacks crucial efficiency numbers and uses potentially misleading technical terms.
Ambient thermal energy from the mobile terminal's waste heat (generated by its own operation) converted via thermoelectric (Seebeck) effect.
The patent describes using thermoelectric generators to convert a mobile device's waste heat into electricity. While this is physically possible, the claims of simultaneously reducing overheating and extending battery life suggest a net efficiency gain not supported by thermodynamics. The energy accounting is incomplete, ignoring the system costs of the conversion process itself.
Unclear. The patent describes a mechanical rotation-type magnetic energy generator with magnetic block structures designed to reduce magnetic resistance. The implied energy source appears to be mechanical rotation input that drives magnets past coils, but no explicit energy input mechanism is specified.
The patent describes a magnetic generator design focused on reducing magnetic resistance through tapered magnetic blocks, but fails to specify the energy input source or provide quantitative performance claims. While the described magnetic configuration might reduce cogging torque in a generator, the incomplete energy accounting and lack of clear input mechanism make it questionable rather than clearly violating physics.
Ambiguous. The device appears to combine mechanical magnetic energy (likely from permanent magnets), water power, and wind power. The primary concern is the 'mechanical magnetic energy generator' (机械磁能发电机), which suggests an attempt to extract energy from magnetic fields without a clear external energy input to overcome magnetic potential barriers.
The device combines legitimate renewable energy sources (water, wind) with a highly questionable 'mechanical magnetic energy generator.' The magnetic component, if intended as a primary energy source rather than just a motor/generator type, violates energy conservation as it attempts to extract net work from a static magnetic field. The hybrid structure obfuscates the fundamental flaw.
Unclear. The device appears to be an electric motor/generator configuration with alternating magnetization directions in moving magnetic blocks. The only explicit energy input mentioned is implied electrical input to drive the 'moving magnetic blocks', but no external power source is specified in the claims.
The patent describes a magnetic motor/generator configuration with alternating magnetization directions but fails to specify the primary energy source or provide a complete energy balance. While the magnetic arrangement might influence torque characteristics in a legitimate motor, the vague claims and lack of quantitative performance data relative to input power raise fundamental questions about energy accounting.
Unclear. The device appears to be a magnetic generator/rotor system with staggered magnets and gaps. The energy source is implied to come from magnetic interactions during rotation, but no external input (mechanical, electrical, or environmental) is explicitly described to initiate or sustain motion against losses.
The patent describes a geometric arrangement of magnets on a rotor but fails to identify the source of energy input required to generate electricity. Magnetic forces alone cannot produce net energy output without an external energy source to drive the motion against resistive losses, making this an incomplete energy accounting scenario.
Unclear. The patent describes a mechanical mounting structure for permanent magnets in a rotating magnetic energy generator, implying energy extraction from magnetic fields without specifying an external energy input to overcome magnetic braking and maintain rotation.
The patent describes a mechanical fixture for magnets in a rotating assembly, likely for a permanent magnet generator. However, it presents this as a device for 'magnetic energy power generation' without specifying the source of mechanical work needed to spin the magnets against resisting forces. This creates an incomplete energy accounting picture, suggesting the device might be misinterpreted as a source of energy rather than a conversion component.
Unclear. The device appears to be a mechanical assembly with cylindrical magnets, rotating shafts, sliding bodies, and sensors. No explicit energy input (electrical, chemical, etc.) is described. Motion may be initiated manually or by an unspecified external source.
The patent describes a mechanical test device with magnets and moving parts but fails to specify any energy source that would power the motion or work output being measured. This is an incomplete energy accounting, making it impossible to evaluate thermodynamic validity. The device itself may be a valid test fixture, but the claim lacks the necessary physics context to assess its operation.
Waste heat from computer CPU, converted to electricity via thermoelectric generator (TEG) modules, with output stored in a backup battery.
The described system uses thermoelectric generators to convert CPU waste heat to electricity, which is physically possible. However, the patent language is vague about efficiency and net energy gain, creating risk of 'free energy' implications. Without explicit efficiency claims exceeding Carnot limits, it's questionable rather than an outright violation, but the incomplete accounting is problematic.
Unclear. The device appears to be a magnetic configuration using fixed and moving magnets, suggesting potential energy from magnetic fields and possibly external mechanical input to initiate or maintain motion.
The patent describes a magnetic structure with fixed and moving magnets but fails to identify any energy input to sustain motion against inevitable losses like friction and eddy currents. While magnetic levitation systems exist, the vague description of maintaining relative motion without an energy source raises fundamental conservation of energy concerns.
Ambient environmental energy: sunlight (photovoltaic), wind kinetic energy (piezoelectric/electrostatic via motion), and possibly thermal gradients (implied but not specified).
The device combines several real energy-harvesting mechanisms (solar, wind-driven piezoelectric/triboelectric), but the presentation is problematic. It implies continuous 24/7 operation by summing low-yield sources, obscuring the fact that each source is intermittent and dependent on specific environmental conditions. No fundamental laws are broken, but the claims are overstated and the energy accounting is unclear.
Ambient humidity gradient energy (hygroelectric effect) via Nafion/CNT composite material, potentially combined with piezoelectric effects from PDMS layers. The device appears to convert environmental humidity variations into electrical energy.
The patent describes a multi-layer hygroelectric-piezoelectric device that converts humidity gradients to electricity, which is physically plausible. However, the claims lack quantitative performance data and contain ambiguous statements about energy multiplication through layer stacking, suggesting incomplete energy accounting and potential exaggeration of capabilities without clear thermodynamic justification.
Ambient humidity gradient (water vapor concentration difference) between the hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces. The device appears to be a hygroelectric generator converting chemical potential energy of water vapor into electrical energy via ion transport (likely using Nafion membrane).
The patent describes a hygroelectric device that likely harvests energy from ambient humidity gradients, which is physically possible. However, it makes vague 'self-powered' and 'energy harvesting' claims without proper energy accounting or efficiency limits, using complex fabrication details to obscure the fundamental energy conversion physics.
Unspecified external energy input (e.g., electrical, mechanical) is converted to elastic potential energy via strain in a nanotube structure.
The core concept of storing energy as mechanical strain in nanotubes is physically plausible, but the claim of lossless maintenance for an arbitrary time and perfect recovery is thermodynamically impossible due to inevitable losses from internal friction, thermal fluctuations, and the second law.
The primary energy source is the input mechanical energy used to lift the weight. Claim 7 suggests a potential feedback loop where output electrical energy could be used to power the lifting mechanism via an electro-mechanical device.
The core mechanism described (lifting a weight to store potential energy, then releasing it incrementally to drive a generator) is physically valid as an energy storage and conversion device. However, Claim 7 introduces a major red flag by suggesting the output could power the input mechanism, which if interpreted as a closed loop, would violate the First Law of Thermodynamics. Without that claim, it would be a simple, inefficient mechanical battery.
Electrical DC input current, with ambiguous suggestion of 'flux in thermal energy' as a driver.
The device appears to be a standard micromechanical resonator, but the claim that a stable DC current causes resonance 'in response to flux in thermal energy' is physically vague and suggests an unorthodox or incorrectly described actuation mechanism. The energy source is ultimately the DC electrical input, but the described conversion process is questionable.
Thermal gradient between heat source and cold sink, with thermoelectric conversion via Seebeck effect
The patent describes a thermoelectric system with tunable emissivity surfaces, but suggests efficiency enhancements that appear to violate thermodynamic limits. While thermoelectric generation is valid, claims of optimizing multiple emissivity rates to increase total output beyond what the temperature gradient allows indicate incomplete energy accounting or misunderstanding of conversion limits.
Electrical energy input to cyclically change ionic concentration and surface charge, modulating van der Waals and electrostatic forces between components.
The device claims to convert electrical energy to mechanical work by cycling between van der Waals attraction and electrostatic repulsion. While not an explicit perpetual motion machine, the description is vague on the complete energy cycle, particularly the energy cost of establishing the repulsive state, making its efficiency claims impossible to evaluate against thermodynamic limits.
Unclear. Text appears to describe an MP3 player/energy device hybrid, possibly claiming to generate energy from sound (MP3 files) or ambient sources, but no explicit energy input is specified. Mentions USB connection and various components (detectors, amplifiers, storage) without clear primary energy source.
The patent text describes an MP3-based energy device with unclear energy sourcing, suggesting energy generation from MP3 files or ambient sources without proper accounting of input energy. The description is technically obfuscated with component names but lacks clear physics justification, making it questionable under energy conservation principles.
Electrical input to the electromagnet array and control system. The system may also utilize ambient magnetic fields or the kinetic energy of a surrounding fluid (if present) as an implicit input.
The system uses electromagnets to manipulate a magnetic fluid, which is physically possible, but the patent fails to clearly account for the source of the net propulsive force on the craft. It obfuscates the core physics of momentum exchange, making it unclear if it can actually produce useful thrust beyond internal fluid motion.
Unclear. Mentions 'electromagnetic wave generation unit' and 'magnetic wave generation unit' but no explicit external energy input is described. Implied energy may come from ambient electromagnetic/magnetic fields or unspecified 'vibration'.
The patent describes a complex electromagnetic/magnetic wave generation and transfer system but fails to clearly identify the primary energy source. The language is highly technical and vague, making it impossible to perform proper energy accounting. The described cascading of multiple units suggests potential claims of energy multiplication without thermodynamic justification.
Unclear. The patent describes a structure (accumulator element with specific surface corrugations and metal layers on a solid electrolyte) but provides no explicit energy input mechanism. Any claimed motion or actuation would require an external energy source not specified.
The patent describes a specialized microstructure but makes functional claims (actuation, positioning, pressure application) without identifying any energy input mechanism. While the structure itself may be valid, the implied operation without a defined energy source is physically incomplete and raises immediate thermodynamic accounting questions.
Chemical energy from bacterial metabolism (nutrient oxidation) is converted to kinetic energy (bacterial motility), which may then be transduced into electrical energy via an unspecified magnetohydrodynamic or inductive mechanism.
The device likely functions as a biological fuel cell, where bacterial metabolism is the true energy source, not the movement itself. The description obfuscates the energy conversion pathway, making it impossible to assess thermodynamic efficiency, but it does not explicitly violate conservation laws.
The claimed energy source is the applied thermal energy (e.g., from nuclear, geothermal, solar) used to heat the ferromagnetic material. The magnetic field(s) are presumably powered by an external electrical source, though this is not explicitly stated as an input.
The patent describes a heat engine using the Curie point transition, which is a physically real phenomenon. However, it omits the significant energy cost of maintaining the magnetic field(s) and provides a vague, non-quantitative mechanism for generating net electrical output, making its claimed performance highly questionable.
Temperature difference between a hot and cold reservoir, as in a heat engine. The device claims to convert this temperature difference into a pressure difference in a working fluid (gas or charge carriers).
The device attempts to create a sustained pressure or voltage difference using only a temperature difference and a cyclic shuttling mechanism. This appears to be a form of perpetual motion machine of the second kind, as it claims to generate useful potential (pressure/voltage) from heat without a complete thermodynamic cycle that respects the Second Law. The description omits the crucial work input needed to move the fluid against the very pressure gradient it claims to create.
Ambient static electricity (triboelectric effect) from air moving over a collector, with energy for air movement provided by an unspecified blower.
The device describes a real triboelectric energy harvesting process, but the patent makes no comparison between the energy required to run the blower and the electricity collected. This incomplete accounting is a hallmark of questionable over-unity claims, as the blower's input likely far exceeds the micro-power output from static collection.
Chemical energy from ATP hydrolysis in molecular motors (myosin), potentially with electrical/control inputs for system coordination.
The patent text is too corrupted for definitive analysis, but it describes a nanoscale device using biological molecular motors (myosin). If it merely uses ATP to perform mechanical work, it is thermodynamically valid as a motor. Any claim that it generates excess energy would violate the first law, as ATP is the sole energy source. The garbled presentation prevents clear evaluation of its actual claims.
Ambient electrochemical or metabolic gradient of the organism (e.g., plant, fungi), possibly supplemented by environmental energy (solar via photosynthesis, chemical from soil). The system acts as an electrical load, extracting current from the organism.
The patent describes harvesting electricity from a living organism (like a tree or fungus) but fails to account for the ultimate energy source that powers the organism. While drawing a small current may be possible from an electrochemical gradient, it is a load on the organism's metabolic system, not a primary power source. The claim is physically questionable because it presents the organism as the source without acknowledging the required external energy input (e.g., sunlight) that sustains it.
Ambient mechanical energy (piezoelectric/triboelectric) or nuclear decay energy (radioactive source). The primary energy input is correctly identified as non-electrical conversion.
The device uses legitimate ambient energy sources (mechanical or nuclear), but the description of the 'charge energy converter' is physically ambiguous and risks implying an impossible energy or charge multiplication. The core physics of avalanche breakdown does not violate conservation laws if properly analyzed, but the patent's language is misleading and lacks complete energy accounting.
Ambient mechanical energy used to move the fluid (implicitly) and electrostatic energy stored in the electret. The moving fluid changes capacitance/dielectric properties, converting mechanical work into electrical energy.
The patent describes a variable capacitor or electret-based generator where fluid motion changes capacitance. This can be a valid energy harvester if the fluid is moved by an external source (e.g., waves, vibrations). However, the claims present it as a 'system for generating power' without specifying the energy input, creating ambiguity and risk of misinterpretation as a self-powered device.
Unclear. The patent describes a geometric surface treatment (rubbed orientation films) to induce a specific liquid crystal molecule rotation, but does not specify an external energy input (e.g., electric field, thermal gradient, pressure differential) to drive the rotation or the subsequent relative motion of the members.
The mechanism appears to rely solely on a static, pre-treated surface geometry to induce liquid crystal flow and mechanical motion without identifying an external energy source, violating the principle that net work requires an energy input. The use of correct terminology ('liquid crystal', 'orientation films') in a context suggesting spontaneous motion is characteristic of technical obfuscation.
Primary energy from combustion of petroleum fuel in at least one cylinder. Electrical energy from a battery (implied) to power electromagnets in other cylinders.
The device is a hybrid internal combustion engine with electromagnetic actuator cylinders. It does not inherently violate conservation laws, as the energy sources are identified (fuel and battery). However, the patent is vague on the critical energy loop for the electrical system, making its claimed benefits for cost and pollution questionable without a clear, efficient method to sustain or recharge the electrical input.
Unclear. The abstract mentions using 'environmental energy' (ambient temperature, humidity, vibration) and 'other natural phenomena' to generate electricity, but does not specify the primary energy conversion mechanism or gradient.
The patent describes generating electricity from ambient environmental energy but fails to specify the fundamental energy conversion process or account for all energy inputs. While harvesting ambient energy is physically possible (e.g., via thermal gradients or vibrations), the vague description and lack of quantitative claims prevent proper thermodynamic evaluation, making the claims questionable without further technical detail.
Unclear. The device appears to be a piezoelectric generator with multiple cells and an 'excitation power source' (likely an electrical input), but the description of gas flow channels (O, P) suggests possible ambient energy harvesting from gas flow/pressure gradients. The primary energy source is not explicitly defined.
The patent describes a complex multi-cell piezoelectric vibration generator with gas flow channels and an excitation source, but fails to clearly identify and quantify all energy inputs. While piezoelectric energy harvesting from vibrations or gas flow is physically possible, the vague description and lack of quantitative claims prevent a proper thermodynamic assessment, making the system's claimed operation questionable.
Unclear. The described process (precompression, cryogenic cooling, magnetic field application) requires significant energy input. The claimed 'energy storage' appears to be in the form of a metastable compressed electron gas, but the source of the net storable energy is not physically defined.
The patent describes a complex system to create a compressed degenerate electron gas but does not establish a plausible, novel mechanism for net energy storage. It uses advanced physics terminology in a vague manner without quantitative performance claims or a clear energy cycle, making its physical validity impossible to assess properly.
Unclear. The system appears to be a complex energy storage device, where the input energy is presumably used for precompression, cryogenic cooling, and magnetic field generation. The claimed stored energy is in the compression of a 'metastable degenerate Fermi electron gas', but the ultimate source of that stored energy is not explicitly defined and seems to be the work done by the magnetic field on this gas.
The patent uses correct physics terms (Fermi gas, degenerate, cryogenic) in an incorrect and vague manner to describe an undefined energy storage mechanism. While the lithium phase-change prevention might be valid engineering, the core energy process lacks a clear, thermodynamically sound description, making its feasibility highly questionable.
External heat source (solar, isotope, combustion) provides initial energy. The system attempts to recycle waste heat from the cold side of thermoelectric elements back to the hot side via a working fluid.
The system uses an external heat source, which is valid, but its proposed method of recycling waste heat from the cold side back to the hot side is thermodynamically questionable. To move heat from a colder to a hotter reservoir requires work (from a heat pump), which would consume a portion of the generated electricity, likely negating any net efficiency gain. The patent language is ambiguous about this critical energy input.
Chemical energy from the exothermic reaction of a fuel-oxidizer mixture, initiated by electrical pulses to the emitter.
The device appears to be a complex fuel cell where the primary energy source is chemical. However, the proposed mechanism for converting reaction energy into electricity is described with incorrect or obfuscated physics (e.g., 'hot electrons' from vibrationally excited products charging a semiconductor to a forward bias), and the net efficiency cannot be assessed as the electrical input to the emitter is not accounted for in the output.
Chemical potential energy stored in candle wax (paraffin hydrocarbons), converted to thermal energy via combustion, then to kinetic energy of gas (hot air/products), then to mechanical motion of rotor blades.
The claim describes a real energy source (candle wax) but is phrased so broadly it could encompass anything from a valid but inefficient micro-turbine to an implied over-unity device. The lack of technical detail and the vague conversion chain ('Wachskerzen-Gas' to motion to electricity) without specified processes makes it impossible to verify thermodynamic compliance, strongly suggesting incomplete energy accounting or technical obfuscation.
Unclear. The device appears to be a piston-cylinder assembly compressing a medium, with piezoelectric elements to convert pressure to electricity. The primary energy input is not explicitly stated but implied to be mechanical work to compress the medium.
The patent describes a pressure converter using piezoelectric elements, but fails to account for the primary energy input required to compress the working medium. The description of a cycle with only compression and expansion, if intended to produce net electrical output, suggests an incomplete energy balance that could mask a violation of the first law of thermodynamics if the compression work is not fully accounted for.
Ultimate energy source is the metabolic heat of the living organism, harvested via a thermoelectric module using a temperature gradient between two surfaces of the implant. The method claims to actively manipulate this gradient.
The core concept of harvesting body heat with a thermoelectric generator is physically valid. However, the claimed method of actively increasing the gradient to get more power is thermodynamically questionable because the energy required to manipulate the surface temperatures is not accounted for, creating a risk of an inefficient or net-loss energy loop.
Chemical energy from exothermic reactions, converted via vibrational excitation of products to 'hot electrons' in a conductor, then to electrical energy via a semiconductor diode.
The device appears to be an overly complex and poorly explained method to convert chemical energy to electricity. While it does not explicitly violate conservation laws, the proposed multi-step conversion mechanism is physically vague, lacks quantitative limits, and uses standard physics terminology in a non-standard, potentially misleading way.
Electrical input to the electric motors (Erregerwicklung, Elektromotorenanker) is implied but not explicitly stated as the sole or primary energy source. Ambient air is taken in via the inlet.
The patent describes a structural assembly of motors, propellers, and a duct but provides no working principle or performance claims that can be physically evaluated. It lacks the necessary details for energy accounting or thermodynamic analysis, making it impossible to verify compliance with physical laws. The description is technically vague and obfuscated.
Ambient chemical energy from galvanic corrosion of dissimilar metals in an electrolyte (seawater).
The system is essentially a submerged battery that generates electricity by corroding a sacrificial metal electrode (like Magnesium) in seawater. It does not violate conservation laws, but the patent language obfuscates this, making it seem like a perpetual generator rather than a finite chemical energy source.
Low-grade heat from renewable or waste sources, utilizing a temperature gradient (≥5 K) to drive a thermomagnetic generator via the Curie point transition of ferromagnetic materials.
The device describes a thermomagnetic generator, a legitimate principle where a temperature-driven change in magnetization induces voltage. However, the patent claims focus on configuration and cascading to increase efficiency but fail to fully account for all parasitic energy inputs required to operate the system, making a net efficiency or COP claim impossible to evaluate against thermodynamic limits.
Ambient radio frequency (RF) energy from broadcast wireless signals.
While harvesting ambient RF energy is physically possible, the power available is far too low to fully charge a phone, laptop, or car battery against their normal power draw. The claims suggest a net energy gain that is not feasible with real-world RF power densities, indicating incomplete accounting of the energy scale involved.
Kinetic and/or potential energy of the particle(s) provided by the particle source. The actuator is a mechanism for converting this particle energy into rotational mechanical work.
The device is a mechanism, not an energy source. Its operation depends entirely on an unquantified external particle source. The physics of how chirality difference generates a sustained net torque is poorly defined, making the claimed performance impossible to evaluate against thermodynamic limits.
Electrical input from an external source to create the potential gradient, which drives mass transport (likely electromigration or field-induced diffusion).
The device requires external electrical energy to operate, so it's not a perpetual motion machine. However, the described physics of merging droplets via surface tension is inherently a one-way, dissipative process. For sustained oscillation, a separate and likely significant energy input would be needed to repeatedly break the merged particle apart, which is not described, making the claimed cyclic operation questionable.
Unclear. The patent mentions phenomena (electrostatic, piezoelectric, electromagnetic, etc.) that can convert an input signal into a micro-scale output, but does not specify the primary energy source. The 'digital input signal' likely provides the control energy, but the device's operational energy could come from an implicit power supply, the signal itself, or ambient energy.
The patent describes a micro-scale signal transduction and modulation system using known physical effects. It does not explicitly violate conservation laws, but its description is obfuscated, failing to clearly identify the primary energy source and how losses are managed, making its physical plausibility impossible to fully assess.
Chemical energy from exothermic reactions of adsorbates on the catalyst surface, and/or electrical input from the semiconductor diode to drive endothermic reactions.
The patent describes a reversible solid-state catalytic converter, which in principle could be valid if it simply uses electricity to catalyze reactions or uses reactions to generate electricity. However, the language is highly obfuscated, making the energy and electron pathways unclear and implying a highly efficient, direct conversion that may gloss over inherent thermodynamic losses and overunity implications.
Mechanical work input to reorient liquid crystal molecules, plus initial electrical energy from the first voltage source (battery).
The device appears to be a mechanical energy harvester using liquid crystal capacitance changes. While the physics of flexoelectricity or dielectric anisotropy change is valid, the patent's description of the electrical circuit and energy flow is incomplete. It does not demonstrate a net energy gain, only a voltage boost, making the overall energy accounting questionable.
Unclear. The text describes a 'water vortex' or 'water wheel' system that appears to extract energy from water flow, but the abstract is garbled (Korean text appears corrupted/mixed). Mentions 'vortex' and 'wheel' but no clear primary energy source specification.
The patent claim text is corrupted and unreadable, mixing Korean and garbled characters, which itself is a major red flag for obfuscation. While vortex-based water wheels are physically possible, the inability to parse a coherent description of the energy source, inputs, and conversion process makes it impossible to verify compliance with conservation laws. The system is therefore questionable until a clear, physically complete description is provided.
Unclear. The patent describes a 'high molecular actuator element' with a 'swelling rate of 200% or more' but does not specify the energy input mechanism. Likely electrical or chemical energy driving ion exchange in the polymer, but not explicitly stated.
The patent describes a material that swells via ion exchange but fails to specify the energy input or perform any energy accounting. While the core claim of large volume change is not inherently impossible, the description is physically vague and lacks the necessary information to verify thermodynamic compliance, placing it in the 'questionable' category.
Geothermal heat from the Earth, extracted via two separate water circuits at different temperatures.
The system uses a real energy source (geothermal) and real technology (thermoelectric generators), so it is not a fundamental violation. However, the claim to simultaneously heat a building and generate electricity is physically misleading unless it explicitly accounts for the fact that the electricity generated comes directly from and reduces the available thermal energy, governed by the low efficiency of thermoelectric conversion.
Unclear. Describes complex ion-exchange resin molded products with mutually insulated metal electrodes on surfaces, connected in specific geometric arrangements. No explicit energy input mechanism is described, but claims suggest rotational motion capability.
The patent describes complex geometric arrangements of ion-exchange resin molded products with insulated metal electrodes, but provides no clear energy input mechanism or thermodynamic process. While not explicitly claiming perpetual motion, the description of 'rotational motion capability' without identifiable energy sources raises fundamental questions about energy conservation.
Unclear. The device appears to be an 'accumulator element' with multiple 'operation parts' containing electrode layers separated by a high-molecular electrolyte layer. No explicit external energy input is described, though electrical operation is implied by the electrode layers and electrolyte.
The patent describes a multi-element structure resembling electrochemical cells but fails to specify an external energy source, making energy accounting impossible. While not explicitly claiming over-unity, the vague description of 'oscillatory operation' among mutually insulated parts raises fundamental questions about how energy is supplied and conserved within the system.
Primary energy is mechanical input to the driven shaft. Electrical input to the fixed central electromagnet is a secondary, required control input. The claim suggests the magnetic interaction 'will assist' the driven input, implying potential for reduced mechanical input for a given electrical output.
The device is a complex electromagnetic generator. While not explicitly claiming over-unity, its description of magnetic field timing providing 'assist' to the input shaft, without a full accounting of all energy inputs and outputs, raises fundamental questions about its net efficiency and compliance with energy conservation. The design is physically possible but its claimed improvement is questionable without rigorous analysis.
Unclear. The patent describes an 'accumulator' (likely a capacitor-like device) with polymer electrolyte and metal electrode layers that moves spontaneously in aqueous solution containing specific ions (0.00001-1 mol/L) and polar organic solvents (≥0.01 wt%). No external power source is mentioned.
The patent describes a device that moves spontaneously in solution for extended periods without identifying an energy source. While electrochemical gradients could provide temporary energy, the claims suggest sustained motion without accounting for gradient depletion or energy input, violating conservation laws if interpreted as perpetual motion.
Unclear. Describes an 'accumulator' with moving parts, electrodes, and electrolyte, suggesting electrical input drives ion movement, but claims about 'multiple leads connected' and 'stretchability >3%' imply energy harvesting or conversion without specifying source.
The patent describes a stretchable electrochemical actuator/accumulator with unclear energy flows. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, it uses obfuscated language ('multiple leads connected' reducing resistance during stretching) that suggests implied over-unity or anomalous energy gains without proper thermodynamic accounting of inputs and outputs.
Unclear. The system's 'integral power source' (Claim 9) and amplifier (Abstract) require electrical input to generate and transmit sound waves. The claim of converting sound wave energy implies the sound itself is the primary energy source, but that sound is generated by the system's own power draw.
The patent describes using sound waves to generate electricity, heat, or cooling, but obscures the primary energy source. The amplifier and transmitter require significant electrical input. The claims suggest extracting more useful energy (as heat, cooling, or electricity) from the sound waves than was used to create them, which violates energy conservation unless all ambient inputs are accounted for.
Unclear. Describes a 'mobile element' with layered electrode structure and solid electrolyte, possibly suggesting electrochemical energy conversion, but no explicit power input mechanism is specified. May imply energy harvesting from ambient light passing through internal spaces.
The patent describes a complex layered structure with electrodes, electrolytes, and optical elements, but fails to specify the actual energy source or conversion mechanism. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, the vague description and lack of clear energy accounting make it questionable. The combination of optical focusing with electrochemical elements suggests possible confusion between energy harvesting and energy conversion principles.
Thermal gradient between the living organism's core temperature and the external environment (skin surface). The thermoelectric module converts this temperature difference into electrical energy via the Seebeck effect.
The core concept of using body heat with a thermoelectric generator is physically valid. However, the specific power output claims for a 1°C gradient are highly suspicious and likely exceed realistic material performance. The vague description of generating current from both thermal gradient polarities also raises thermodynamic questions about the complete energy accounting.
Wind kinetic energy, with an electrical input (UH) to create and inject charges.
The device uses wind to transport injected charges, converting some kinetic energy to electrical energy. However, it requires its own electrical input (UH) to create the charges, and the patent fails to account for this input energy when describing the output, making net efficiency claims impossible to evaluate. It is not a fundamental violation but is presented in a misleading way that invites over-unity interpretations.
Standard electrical input for conduction; no novel energy generation or harvesting claimed.
The claim describes a conductive material using unconventional, poorly defined quantum states ('crystallized electron pairs') without a clear, physically coherent mechanism. While it does not explicitly violate energy conservation or thermodynamic limits, the terminology is obfuscating and the proposed physics lacks a basis in established condensed matter theory, making the claims highly questionable.
Unclear. The system appears to draw electrical input from a battery to energize an electromagnet (Claim 8-9). The turbine is 'magnetically-actuated,' suggesting the electromagnet's field interacts with permanent magnets on the turbine to induce rotation. The thermoelectric junction and generator may harvest waste heat and rotational energy, but the primary driver is the battery-powered electromagnet.
The system is not an explicit perpetual motion machine, but its description is ambiguous and omits critical energy accounting. It uses a battery to power an electromagnet that drives a turbine, then recovers some energy via a generator and thermoelectric device. Without a clear external energy source, the net output cannot exceed the battery input, making any claim of excess power generation a violation of energy conservation.
Ambient humidity gradient energy (water vapor adsorption/desorption) and possibly electrochemical energy from doping/dedoping of polypyrrole (PPy) with NaDS. The system appears to be a humidity-driven electrochemical or electrokinetic generator.
The patent describes a device that uses humidity and electrochemical reactions to generate electricity, but it fails to account for the ambient energy input from the humidity gradient, making it impossible to assess efficiency or conservation law compliance. The complex material stack and vague claims obscure the fundamental energy source and conversion pathway, raising significant questions about its thermodynamic validity.
Unclear. Claims suggest energy can be sourced from either electrical input (to drive reactions) or from chemical reactions (to generate electricity), but the description of the bidirectional energy conversion mechanism is vague and lacks a clear accounting of the primary energy source in each mode.
The patent describes a reversible device that uses 'hot electrons' to catalyze reactions or generate electricity from them. While using non-thermal electrons to influence catalysis is a known research area, the claims are phrased so vaguely that they obscure the fundamental energy source and could be misinterpreted to suggest a perpetual motion device that creates energy from chemical equilibrium. The lack of quantitative bounds and clear thermodynamic accounting makes it questionable.
Electrical energy from the control means (variable voltage supply) to establish and modulate the electrostatic field. The output force is derived from this electrical input and the internal energy of the charge carriers in the semiconductor.
The device is likely a valid semiconductor-based electrostatic actuator with a nonlinear response, but the patent language is vague and includes a potentially misleading claim about 'exceeding the inverse of the squared value of the distance,' which contradicts fundamental electrostatics. The energy source is the control circuit, so no clear violation of conservation exists, but the physics of the claimed enhancement is poorly explained.
Unclear. The title suggests manipulation of Earth's magnetic field, which could imply using electrical energy to generate opposing magnetic fields, or perhaps harvesting ambient magnetic energy. No explicit energy input is described.
The provided material is insufficient for proper physics analysis—only a title and note that claims/abstract are unavailable. The title alone suggests a device interacting with a planetary-scale system, which immediately raises questions about the energy source and scale. Without claims, this remains a vague concept prone to technical obfuscation.
Ambient thermal energy (from the temperature control system) and magnetic potential energy (from the initial flux source). The electrical impulse energy is derived from the work done by the temperature control system to move the superconducting/normal boundary against the magnetic pressure of the trapped flux.
The described device uses the motion of a superconducting phase boundary to convert magnetic flux into an electrical impulse, which is physically plausible. However, the patent fails to account for the significant energy required to drive the temperature changes that move this boundary, making the net energy balance unclear and raising questions about its efficiency as a generator.
The primary energy source is unspecified but implied to be an onboard electrical source (e.g., batteries, generator). The patent mentions using 'different energy sources (kinematic and static)' for charging capacitors, which could include ambient sources like wave motion or solar, but these are not clearly defined.
The device describes a real physical effect (electrohydraulic discharge creating a pressure wave) but makes vague efficiency claims without a complete energy balance. It does not explicitly violate conservation laws, but the presentation suggests high performance without the required accounting for all energy inputs and conversion losses, making it questionable.
External heat input via means (10) to the property modulator's first working fluid.
The patent describes a heat engine where a 'property modulator' with zero net internal work cyclically heats and cools a separate 'energy converter' to produce net work. This setup is thermodynamically questionable because it lacks a clear mechanism for rejecting waste heat to a lower temperature reservoir, which is essential for any heat engine to convert thermal energy into work continuously.
Initial electrical energy stored in a capacitor (Ci,a). The claimed energy gain mechanism is 'fast, detonative magnetic field compression' in a variable inductance device (Lk), implying conversion of explosive chemical energy into electrical energy.
The device is not a perpetual motion machine; it uses an explosive to perform magnetic compression. However, the patent claims obfuscate the full energy cycle by not explicitly stating the explosive chemical energy as the primary input for the claimed voltage multiplication, focusing instead on the electrical switching topology. This makes the energy accounting incomplete and the fundamental physics unclear.
Electrical energy to charge plates and power ion generators/charging/neutralizing means. Initial kinetic energy from unspecified 'means for projecting'.
The apparatus is an electrostatic accelerator using sequenced plates and charge manipulation. While the basic concept of electrostatic acceleration is physically sound, the patent description lacks a complete energy balance. The repeated charging and neutralizing of the projectile likely consumes significant energy not accounted for in the acceleration gain, making the net efficiency unclear and the overall energy accounting questionable.
Electrical input to the control circuit and electrodes, which creates a traveling high-voltage electric field (4000-10000V). The electro-viscous fluid's phase change (solidification) under the field provides the force to move the piston.
The device is an actuator using an electro-rheological fluid, which is a real material whose viscosity changes under an electric field. The physics of the described mechanism is plausible. However, the patent makes no performance claims about efficiency or output exceeding input, so it does not explicitly violate conservation laws. It is flagged as 'questionable' because the description invites incomplete energy accounting by not quantifying the relationship between electrical input and mechanical work output, leaving the door open for over-unity misinterpretations.
Electrical input from unspecified HF generator(s) driving resonant LC circuits.
The patent describes a resonant electromagnetic system claiming to produce a net axial force. While the electrical input is implied, the claim of a sustained net force from oscillating, phase-shifted magnetic fields raises serious questions about momentum conservation and complete energy accounting, placing it in the 'questionable' category pending experimental validation and a full energy/momentum analysis.
The primary energy input appears to be the thermal energy used to heat the ferromagnetic material above its Curie temperature. The system also requires energy to operate superconducting switches and to initially magnetize the ferromagnetic material.
The device claims to generate electricity from low-temperature heat by cycling a ferromagnetic material through its Curie point within a superconducting circuit. The physics is questionable because the energy required to reset (remagnetize) the material is likely comparable to or greater than the electrical energy generated during heating, violating no-work-from-single-reservoir limits unless a hidden energy gradient exists.
Electrical input to generate a traveling electric field, which presumably interacts with an electro-viscous fluid to create fluid motion. The claimed energy conversion is from electricity to fluid kinetic energy via electroviscous or electrokinetic effects.
The patent describes an electrical drive using a traveling electric field and an electro-viscous fluid, but provides no performance data or complete energy accounting. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, the mechanism is vague and lacks the detail needed to assess its thermodynamic plausibility, placing it in the questionable category.
The primary energy input appears to be the electrical energy required to generate the alternating magnetic field (via coil 7) that drives the superconducting shield in and out of its superconducting state. The permanent magnet provides a static magnetic field gradient, but no net energy.
The patent describes a method to generate electrical pulses by periodically quenching a superconducting shield placed between a permanent magnet and a coil. While the physical mechanism of flux switching is plausible, the claim presents as a generator without a clear, quantified external energy source beyond the input needed to drive the AC field. The energy balance is incomplete, making the net power output claims questionable.
Electrical input from the applied high voltage, which drives an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) or electrokinetic process in the conductive liquid.
The device likely uses electrical energy to create fluid motion, so it does not inherently violate energy conservation. However, the claims are physically unclear and internally inconsistent regarding the flow direction, suggesting the described mechanism may not function as stated without a more complete physical explanation.
Unclear. The primary input is implied to be electrical current to the coils. Claim 3 mentions a generator and fuel storage, suggesting a conventional fuel-to-electricity conversion, but the relationship between the generator, fuel, and the novel motor is not specified.
The patent describes a magnetic configuration but provides no working principle for how it functions as a motor to produce mechanical work. The addition of a generator and fuel in Claim 3 creates ambiguity and the potential for an over-unity claim if the generator is intended to be powered by the motor's output, which would violate energy conservation.
Ambient kinetic energy, vaguely described as being present in the surroundings in the form of magnetic energy. Possibly refers to ambient magnetic field fluctuations (e.g., geomagnetic) or thermal motion.
The patent describes generating electricity from ambient energy via magnetic flux changes, but the energy accounting is incomplete. The apparatus it details appears to require electrical input to create those flux variations, making the net energy gain questionable and the source of the 'ambient kinetic energy' physically unclear.
Electrical input from the applied potential difference across electrodes. Implicit ambient energy from surface tension, gravity, and fluid reservoir height is also involved.
The patent describes an electrokinetic fluid displacement mechanism but lacks rigorous energy accounting. While not an explicit perpetual motion violation, it uses vague terminology ('Maxwell-Faraday effect') and omits analysis of work output versus electrical input, making its claimed pumping performance questionable.
Unclear. The primary input appears to be electrical energy to drive a current through a coil to create a varying magnetic field. The permanent magnet provides a static field, but is not an energy source. The output is claimed to be electrical energy from induced EMF in a separate conductor.
The device appears to be an electromagnetic induction system where the key varying magnetic field is created by using electrical energy to drive a coil. The patent description is vague on the complete energy loop, creating risk that the static field of the permanent magnet is misinterpreted as a power source rather than a static condition. Without a clear external mechanical or electrical input to create variation, it suggests over-unity operation.
Ambient electromagnetic vacuum fluctuations (Casimir-like force) and/or input energy to vary surface/material properties (e.g., electrical conductivity, reflectivity). The claimed 'usable energy' release is implied to come from modulating the Casimir force.
The patent describes modulating Casimir-like forces between surfaces by varying material properties, implying this can release usable energy. However, it fails to account for the energy input required to create those variations and provides no thermodynamic analysis to show how net energy extraction is possible without violating conservation laws, making the core energy claim highly questionable.
Electrical power from overhead wires or electrified railway lines, collected via sliding contacts (pantographs).
The device draws electrical power from wires, so no fundamental energy conservation law is broken. However, the proposed method for generating lift using rotating 'threaded funnel tubes' to create 'supporting air columns' is not based on established, efficient aerodynamic principles (like wings or propellers). The claim describes a mechanically complex and physically dubious core mechanism, making its practical operation and performance highly questionable.
Thermal gradient (hot and cool air) provided by an external heater and a cooler, with work input from a fluid impeller to move the air.
The device uses a thermal gradient to vary capacitances and cycle charge to produce electrical work, which is a physically plausible principle. However, the patent description fails to account for the full energy input required to create the temperature alternation (pump work, heater energy), making an assessment of net power output impossible and raising concerns of an apparent over-unity claim.
Ambiguous. Mentions solar cells, permanent magnets, and rotating electrons, suggesting a combination of photovoltaic conversion and magnetic/rotational energy, but the energy flow and primary input are not clearly defined.
The patent claim describes a complex assembly of solar cells, coils, and permanent magnets but fails to provide a clear, thermodynamically sound energy conversion process. The language is vague and mixes concepts, making it impossible to verify if energy conservation is respected, as the primary energy source and all loss mechanisms are not properly accounted for.
Ambient infrared radiation absorbed by a black surface, which heats nearby gas molecules, creating a kinetic flow to drive vanes.
The device attempts to use a radiometer effect, powered by ambient heat, to generate electricity. While not a fundamental violation of energy conservation, it ignores the critical need for a thermal gradient and a heat sink, making its claimed performance and practical utility highly questionable.
Unclear. The device is a magnetic core (thin-walled tube with two magnetic zones) with a coil, implying energy conversion from a changing magnetic state. The patent lacks description of an input driver (e.g., electrical pulse to the coil or mechanical motion to change flux), so the primary energy input is not specified.
The patent describes a specialized magnetic core geometry but does not specify the source of energy needed to change the magnetic flux and induce electrical pulses in the coil. As a passive transformer-like component, it cannot generate energy on its own, making its claimed purpose as a 'generator' incomplete and questionable without a defined driver.
Ambient radiant energy (e.g., light) is the primary claimed input, with a secondary electrical input to initially charge the variable capacitor and periodically restore leaked charge.
The device appears to be a parametric or varactor-based generator where radiant energy modulates a capacitor's value. While not an explicit perpetual motion machine, the patent description lacks a rigorous accounting of the work/energy required to change the capacitance and the efficiency of converting radiant energy into that work, making its net power output claims highly questionable.
Ambient atmospheric gas (from high altitude) mixed with water and air, compressed mechanically (by blower/turbine). Electrical energy claimed from spark discharges between electrodes in the mixture.
The device describes mixing and compressing atmospheric gases with water to drive a turbine and generate electrical sparks. While not explicitly claiming over-unity, it omits accounting for the substantial energy needed for compression and fluid transport, making the net energy balance highly questionable. The spark mechanism is not a viable primary energy source.
Electrical input from voltage source to create electric fields; operating medium (ionizable gas/evaporable substance) is presumably the working fluid.
The device appears to be an electrically heated heat engine, but the description obscures the fundamental thermodynamics. The electrical input is the sole clear energy source, and converting it to heat to expand a gas is inherently less efficient than using that electricity to directly drive a motor, suggesting no thermodynamic advantage is possible.
Ambient radiant energy (light) is the claimed primary input. The device is described as a variable capacitance generator, implying energy conversion from light-induced capacitance changes.
The patent describes a mechanical method to alternate light between separate capacitor-based generators, but it fails to clearly define the fundamental energy conversion process. While light is the apparent energy source, the description is technically vague and lacks a complete energy accounting, making it impossible to verify compliance with thermodynamic laws. It focuses on layout and switching rather than the first-principles physics of the generator.
Unclear. The claim describes a device ('Elektrostat') that converts or transmits energy 'with the help of electric fields' generated by a spiral-wound iron core around a dielectric core. No explicit external energy input (e.g., electrical power to create the initial fields) is specified, implying the device itself is the source.
The patent claim describes a geometric arrangement of materials but provides no physically coherent mechanism for where the output energy originates. It uses correct terminology ('electric fields', 'dielectric core') in a context that implies energy generation or conversion without an identifiable source, making it fundamentally incomplete for energy accounting and highly suspect of obfuscating a violation of energy conservation.
Unclear. The primary input is presumably the electrical energy from the alternating current circuit. However, claims 8 and 9 suggest the 'direct energy converter' (e.g., a thermoelement) may also involve a thermal gradient, implying a possible hybrid electrical/thermal input.
The patent describes a specific AC circuit with rectification connected to a 'direct energy converter' like a thermoelectric element. While the circuit itself is physically possible, the overall energy accounting is vague and combines domains (electrical, thermal) without clarifying the net source of any useful output, making its fundamental operating principle and claims questionable.
Ambiguous. Input is 'work and microwaves having an initial energy level', suggesting a combination of mechanical work and pre-existing microwave energy is converted to higher-energy microwaves. The ultimate source of the initial work and microwaves is unspecified.
The method describes a physically possible process of converting mechanical work into microwave energy via a superconducting resonator, but the language suggests an energy gain or multiplication effect not justified by the Boltzmann-Ehrenfest Theorem. The energy accounting is incomplete and obfuscated, making the system's actual performance and potential thermodynamic violations impossible to assess from the claims alone.
Input electrical energy converted to microwaves, which are injected into the superconducting cavity. The claimed work output is derived from the deformation of the cavity caused by the microwaves.
The device appears to be an attempt to create a microwave-based heat engine or transducer. However, the description relies on a misapplied theorem and lacks a complete energy accounting for the full cycle. It is questionable because it implicitly suggests extracting net work from the microwave energy via cavity deformation without a clear, thermodynamically sound mechanism to reset the system.
Unclear. The mechanical work of deforming the cavity is the explicit input. However, the claim that this deformation 'increases the energy state of said microwaves' suggests an energy gain for the microwaves beyond the mechanical work input, implying an incomplete energy accounting.
The described apparatus is a parametric amplifier or frequency converter. The physics is valid if the energy increase in the microwaves comes entirely from the mechanical work of deforming the cavity. However, the patent's framing is ambiguous and does not perform the complete energy balance needed to rule out a violation, making it questionable.
The claimed energy source is the electromagnetic or nuclear radiation used to periodically excite the dielectric material. This is an explicit energy input.
The device uses radiation as its energy source, which is valid, but the patent description lacks a complete energy balance. It presents a conversion method without proving the extracted electrical energy can exceed the energy required to operate the system (e.g., to periodically interrupt the radiation) or that it respects the fundamental limit where output cannot exceed the absorbed radiation energy. The mechanism is physically plausible but the claim of 'generating electricity' is presented without the necessary thermodynamic rigor.
Primary source is the chemical energy of the battery and the nuclear decay energy of the radioactive beta sources. The system claims to use these to drive a piezoelectric/ferroelectric element to produce an amplified electrical output.
The device uses legitimate energy sources (battery, radioisotopes) but describes a multi-stage conversion process where the output is claimed to be an 'amplified' signal. Without a rigorous power balance showing the output energy cannot exceed the combined input from the battery and radioactive decay, it suggests an unsubstantiated energy multiplication effect.
Thermal energy from the source heats the semiconductor, generating electron-hole pairs in the depletion region. The magnetic field then deflects these carriers via the Lorentz force to create a longitudinal voltage.
The device appears to be a thermomagnetic generator (akin to a Nernst effect device), which is physically possible. However, the patent description omits the energy cost of the magnetic field and fails to state the necessary temperature gradient, creating risk of misinterpretation as a perpetual motion device that extracts work from a single heat bath.
Ambiguous. Claims to draw energy from 'expansion of a fluid', but does not specify the source of the fluid's pressure, enthalpy, or kinetic energy. Could be from an external compressed gas source, thermal gradient, or ambient flow, but this is not defined.
The device uses resonant mechanics to efficiently extract work from a fluid's expansion, but the patent fails to explicitly identify the ultimate source of the fluid's energy. Without this, it's impossible to verify conservation of energy or assess true efficiency, creating risk of an 'output > input' misinterpretation.
Thermal energy from a temperature gradient, converted to electrical energy by a thermoelectric generator (TEG).
The system's energy source is valid (a TEG), but its core claim of using the Seebeck effect to cancel resistive losses in a switch is physically flawed. The Seebeck voltage adds to or subtracts from the circuit voltage but does not negate the fundamental Joule heating within the switch.
Electrical input to the field control source and mechanical input from the constant flow pump(s).
The device appears to be an actuator using a field to modify fluid viscosity to control motion. The primary energy sources are the pump and the electrical field. While not an obvious violation, the claim is vague and does not provide enough detail to rule out incomplete energy accounting or confirm that the output work does not exceed the total input energy.
Electrical input to the electromagnets and control circuit.
The device uses electricity to power electromagnets, so it has a clear energy source and does not explicitly violate conservation. However, the proposed physical mechanism for pumping air using the weak paramagnetism of oxygen is highly questionable and thermodynamically inefficient; it is more likely an ineffective pump than an impossible one.
Heat or light energy applied to a portion of the semiconductor disc. The magnetic field is presumably maintained by external means (not specified as an energy input).
The device appears to be a poorly described thermomagnetic or photomagnetic generator, where heat/light creates a current, and the magnetic field converts it to force. However, the claim is vague and omits the energy required for the magnetic field. The physics of net force generation in a uniform field from an internal current loop is highly suspect without a clear asymmetric mechanism.
The primary claimed energy source is radioactive decay from the 'primary coil of radioactive material'. This could theoretically provide energy via particle emission and subsequent interactions with the metal core and secondary coil.
The claim is questionable due to incomplete energy accounting and technical obfuscation. While radioactive decay is a valid energy source, the described apparatus lacks a clear input mechanism and uses the term 'amplifying' without explaining the origin of the additional energy, suggesting possible confusion between energy conversion and true amplification.
The thermal energy input from the 'means for alternatively subjecting said element to heat and cold'. This is the explicit energy source driving the state transitions of the superconducting element.
The device uses thermal energy to drive a superconducting phase transition, which modulates a magnetic flux to generate electricity. While not an explicit perpetual motion machine, the patent claim fails to account for the full energy cost of the heating/cooling cycle relative to the electrical output, making its net efficiency and viability questionable without further data.
Unclear from claims alone. The patent describes materials (metal oxides, sintered ceramic-metal mixtures, doped ferroelectric semiconductors) for diaphragms in electrokinetic devices, implying possible energy conversion from fluid flow, pressure gradients, or electrical fields, but no specific energy input is defined.
The patent claims are only for material compositions of a diaphragm, not a complete device or process. While the materials suggest use in legitimate electrokinetic energy conversion (like harvesting from fluid gradients), the lack of any described energy input, output, or working principle prevents proper physics analysis. It raises questions due to vagueness, not due to an explicit violation.
Electrical input to generate inhomogeneous electric fields, plus ambient thermal energy for the refrigeration cycle (claim 4).
The patent describes using inhomogeneous electric fields to create pressure and flow in polar dielectrics (a real electrokinetic effect), but its application to refrigeration and gas separation lacks a complete thermodynamic analysis. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, the claims are presented without the necessary energy accounting to verify that the proposed cycles would not exceed thermodynamic limits for heat pumps or separation work.
Electrical input to the conductive baffles/electrodes, implying an applied voltage/field to drive electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flow.
The described device appears to be an electrohydrodynamic pump, which is a valid physics concept using electrical energy to impart momentum to a dielectric fluid. However, the provided claim text is corrupted and incomplete, rendering a full physics compliance analysis impossible and raising flags about the specification's clarity.
Primarily from incident light on photoelectric cells (solar/photovoltaic). Possibly supplemented by an external magnetic field (which stores energy).
The patent describes a device using photoelectric cells and coils in a magnetic field to produce rotation. While light is a valid energy source, the garbled claims and focus on specific geometric arrangements to generate torque suggest an attempt to achieve a motor whose performance is not clearly bounded by the energy input from light alone, raising questions about its thermodynamic validity.
The primary energy source is the external heat source (e.g., a flame, hot object). The thermopile converts part of this heat flow into electricity to power the motor. The fan is powered by the motor to maintain the thermopile's temperature gradient.
The device is a heat engine using a thermopile (solid-state Seebeck generator). It is physically possible if the thermopile generates sufficient electrical power from the heat flow to run the motor and fan with surplus left for useful work. However, the claim is questionable because it presents the loop as a 'prime mover' without proving a positive net power balance, risking an over-unity implication if losses are ignored.
Mechanical deformation (elongation/contraction) of the dielectric elastomer element, converting mechanical work into electrical energy via variable capacitance.
The system is based on a legitimate dielectric elastomer generator, but the patent's detailed focus on reconfigurable capacitor networks for intermediate storage is highly obfuscatory and could be misinterpreted as creating energy. The actual energy source is the external mechanical work deforming the elastomer.
Primary energy input appears to be chemical energy from diesel/gasoline generator exhaust heat. The system attempts to convert waste heat into electricity using thermoelectric modules and then uses that electricity to power a water pump for cooling.
The device uses a legitimate waste heat recovery concept (thermoelectric generation), but its description contains thermodynamically suspicious claims about actively modifying temperature gradients and lacks complete energy accounting for parasitic loads, making its net efficiency claims impossible to verify and potentially misleading.
Solar radiation (thermal gradient for TEG) and wind energy (flapping motion from wind). Two separate energy harvesting systems combined: 1) Solar thermoelectric generator (TEG) using temperature difference between sun-heated plate and cooler plate, 2) Wind energy harvester using flapping piezoelectric elements.
The device combines two legitimate energy harvesting methods (solar TEG and wind-driven piezoelectric), so no fundamental law is violated. However, the design is highly questionable: the TEG's 'cold side' is an active heat pipe that would minimize the very temperature difference the TEG needs, likely crippling its efficiency. The claims are vague and the integration appears functionally counterproductive rather than synergistic.
Thermal gradient between a hot plate (heat source) and a cold contact probe that touches an object to be identified. The device appears to be a thermoelectric generator (TEG) using the Seebeck effect, converting a small temperature difference into electrical voltage.
The device is fundamentally a thermoelectric generator, so it does not violate energy conservation. However, its proposed operating principle for material identification is thermodynamically questionable. It relies on a vague and unstable thermal circuit where the cold side of the TEG is supposedly cooled differently by contact with various materials at ambient temperature, which contradicts the expected equilibration process. The claims use correct physics terms (Seebeck effect, First and Second Law) but apply them to an unconventional and likely non-functional sensing mechanism.
Ambient thermal energy via water cooling system, with potential thermoelectric (Peltier) conversion of temperature gradients to electricity. However, the primary energy input mechanism is unclear.
The device appears to be a complex assembly combining cooling channels, Peltier elements, and mechanical locking components, purportedly generating electricity from a water-based cooling system. The description is mechanically detailed but thermodynamically vague, failing to account for the primary energy input needed to create or maintain the temperature gradients essential for the claimed thermoelectric power generation. Without this, it risks presenting a perpetual motion scheme of the second kind.
Thermoelectric generator (TEG) converting waste heat to electricity via Seebeck effect. The 'spiral finned tube' appears to be a heat exchanger enhancing heat transfer from a hot fluid to the TEG's hot side, while a cold fluid cools the TEG's cold side.
This patent describes a simulation-based method to optimize the geometry of a spiral-finned tube heat exchanger for a thermoelectric generator system. It does not claim to violate energy conservation, as it operates on a standard Seebeck effect principle. However, it is questionable because it provides incomplete energy accounting and uses technical simulation details that obscure the fact it is a conventional, albeit optimized, heat recovery application.
Thermal gradient between 5G base station (hot) and ambient environment (cold), converted to electricity via thermoelectric generators (Seebeck effect). This harvested energy is stored in supercapacitors and used to power a control system that manages the base station's thermal load.
The patent describes a thermoelectric waste heat harvesting system to power a controller for a 5G base station. While thermoelectric generation is physically valid, the core claim of a fully self-powered cooling system is highly questionable because the harvested power from small temperature differences is typically microwatts to milliwatts, orders of magnitude less than needed to run fans or adjust radio transmission power. The system lacks a realistic energy balance.
Chemical energy from hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) decomposition, potentially catalyzed by the Au-Fe oxide bimetallic structure. Light may provide directional control but not primary propulsion energy.
The device appears to be a catalytic nanomotor powered by chemical energy from H₂O₂, which is physically valid. The claims of light and magnetic control are plausible for directional guidance but are described with technical vagueness (Pattern C). No clear violation of energy conservation is evident, but the incomplete description of the control mechanisms and their energy inputs warrants a 'questionable' rating.
Solar radiation (primary) and lunar thermal gradient (secondary). The system collects solar energy via tracking mirrors, stores thermal energy in lunar subsurface caverns, and uses thermoelectric generators to convert the temperature difference between stored heat and the lunar surface/space into electricity.
The system describes a physically plausible concept using solar energy and thermal storage, but the patent claims are vague and lack critical quantitative details needed for proper energy accounting. It does not clearly violate conservation laws, but the description suggests potential over-unity implications by omitting discussion of system losses and auxiliary power needs, placing it in the questionable category.
Multiple ambient sources: solar (PV panel), thermal gradient (TEG), vibration (piezoelectric), and RF (antenna). The device also incorporates a rotating mass with magnets that interacts with a fixed magnet on a cantilever, purportedly to harvest low-frequency environmental/human vibration.
The device combines several legitimate energy harvesting methods (solar, TEG, piezoelectric, RF). However, the described magnetic frequency up-conversion mechanism is physically questionable without a rigorous explanation of how the initial rotational energy is sustained by ambient sources. The vague description and lack of energy accounting for this sub-system raise flags, placing it in the 'questionable' category requiring significant technical clarification.
Ambient thermal energy from asphalt pavement (temperature gradient between hot asphalt and cooling pipes), plus mechanical energy from vehicle compression of the asphalt mixture layer.
The patent describes a bridge expansion joint device intended to harvest thermal and kinetic energy from asphalt pavement. While the individual concepts (thermoelectric generation from pavement heat, piezoelectric from compression) are physically possible, the overall mechanical implementation is overly complex and vague, lacking a clear energy balance. The description suggests energy multiplication through stacked mechanisms without accounting for inevitable losses, placing it in the 'questionable' category requiring significant technical clarification.
Primarily grid electricity, with supplemental thermoelectric generation from waste heat between compressor and partition. Claims to store and reuse this generated electricity.
The system attempts to recover waste heat via thermoelectrics, which is physically possible but thermodynamically limited. The patent implies reduced grid dependency through energy recycling, but fails to account for the fundamental inefficiencies: the thermoelectric generator's output is necessarily much smaller than the compressor's input power, making significant self-powering claims questionable without violating conservation laws.
Electrical input to heat-generating components (发热元件) with cooling fluid circulation via pumps/valves in a closed-loop liquid cooling system
The patent describes a complex liquid cooling system with heat sinks, microchannels, and movable plates, but the claimed 'self-adaptive regulation' and 'increased heat exchange effect' lack clear thermodynamic justification. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, the description uses obfuscated technical language without proper energy accounting, making the claimed performance enhancements questionable.
Solar thermal energy (sunlight absorbed by hydrophobic heating body) and water evaporation potential (humidity gradient between water surface and atmosphere).
The system appears to be a solar thermal desalination device using carbon nanotube materials for absorption and thermoelectric generation, which is physically plausible. However, the claims are vague, lack quantitative energy accounting, and use technical terms in a way that obscures whether thermodynamic limits are respected. The description suggests synergistic effects without clear physical mechanisms, raising questions about implied over-unity performance.
Primarily solar thermal energy (via solar collectors and seawater thermal processing), with possible ambient thermal gradients between warm and cold seawater. Some electrical input appears needed for pumps and controls.
The system describes a complex integration of solar thermal, seawater thermal gradients, and desalination. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, the description is obfuscated and lacks the rigorous energy accounting needed to verify its claims. It raises red flags by implying high efficiency and cost savings without clear physics-based justification against thermodynamic limits for heat engines operating on small temperature gradients.
The primary energy source appears to be a micro-generator based on 'elastic energy storage elements' (likely piezoelectric, electromagnetic induction from vibration/motion, or similar ambient energy harvesting). The circuit stores excess energy from the generator during high-speed operation and releases it during low-speed operation via a boost converter.
This appears to be an energy harvesting and power management circuit, not a perpetual motion device. However, the claims of extended operation and improved 'overall efficiency' are vague and presented without a complete system-level energy accounting. The physics is likely valid as a buffering system, but the patent language is ambiguous enough to require scrutiny.
Thermal gradient (temperature difference) between hot and cold sides of thermoelectric semiconductor modules. The system appears to use waste heat from an SCR system's exhaust channel as the hot source and ambient cooling (via heat dissipation modules) as the cold sink.
The system appears to be a thermoelectric generator using waste heat from an SCR system, which is physically possible. However, the patent description lacks complete energy accounting—it doesn't specify what originally powers the SCR process or whether the thermoelectric output alone could sustain it. This creates ambiguity about whether the system could function as claimed without external energy input.
Ambient waste heat from industrial processes (steel rolling, forging, furnace operations) via thermoelectric generators (TEGs). The device uses water cooling loops to maintain a temperature gradient across the TEGs.
The device is a thermoelectric waste heat recovery system, which is physically possible. However, the patent lacks crucial energy accounting, fails to address the low intrinsic efficiency of TEGs, and omits the power required for the cooling system, making its net performance claims unverifiable and potentially misleading.
Ambient environmental energy (thermal, mechanical, or humidity gradients) harvested by an elastic core-sheath structure, with energy conversion via piezoelectric/piezoresistive materials and carbon nanotube-based conductors.
The patent describes a complex multi-material structure for energy harvesting but fails to provide a complete energy accounting or thermodynamic analysis. While the concept of harvesting ambient energy is physically possible, the claims are vague about input/output ratios, efficiency, and specific operating principles, making it impossible to verify compliance with conservation laws.
Chemical energy from fuel combustion in engine cylinders. The system attempts to recover waste heat from exhaust gases via thermoelectric generators and use that electricity to power an EGR pump.
This patent describes a complex exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system with waste heat recovery via thermoelectrics. While not fundamentally violating conservation laws, it makes vague performance claims and lacks complete energy accounting.

The device combines real physical phenomena (radiative cooling and solar heating) to create a temperature difference for thermoelectric generation, so it does not outright violate conservation laws. However, the claims are exaggerated and lack rigorous energy accounting. The proposed large temperature drop below ambient during daytime solar heating is highly questionable, and the patent obscures whether the net output power meaningfully exceeds what would be possible from its individual components operating separately.
Unclear. Possibly intended to harness ambient thermal energy or internal polarization energy of wurtzite crystals (e.g., GaN, ZnO), but no explicit energy input mechanism is described. Claims suggest a static structure with opposing polarizations separated by a gap.
The patent describes a layered structure of oppositely polarized wurtzite crystals but provides no mechanism for a continuous energy input. Extracting net electrical power from permanent electric polarization in equilibrium is thermodynamically impossible, as it would be akin to drawing current from a static capacitor.

Electrical energy from an impulse energy source, converted to magnetic field energy via a striker (likely an electromagnetic actuator or railgun-like device).
The patent describes a method for generating high-pressure impulses using electromagnetic strikers, but its core claim of 'changing the law of pressure growth from time' is physically ambiguous and suggests an attempt to circumvent the fundamental relationship between current, magnetic field, and force. While the energy source is clear (electrical input), the described mechanism for performance enhancement is obfuscated and challenges well-established electrodynamics without a coherent alternative theory.

High-temperature waste heat (500-650°C) from industrial exhaust/vehicle exhaust, used to drive thermoelectric generators via temperature gradients. The device also incorporates phase-change materials for latent heat storage.
The device appears to be a thermoelectric generator system using waste heat and phase-change materials, which is physically plausible. However, the claims are vague, lack quantitative performance data, and do not provide a complete energy accounting, making it impossible to verify if thermodynamic limits are respected.
Ambient/industrial waste heat input to the evaporator, driving a working fluid cycle to create a temperature gradient across a solid electrolyte (beta-alumina) cell, which may generate electricity via thermoelectric or electrochemical potential (e.g., alkali metal thermoelectric converter - AMTEC).
The patent describes a bonding method for a thermal-to-electric device but does not specify the physics of the energy conversion, making it impossible to fully evaluate its thermodynamic validity. While the described system appears to use a heat input to drive a cycle (which is a valid energy source), the lack of mechanistic detail for the power generation cell renders the overall energy accounting incomplete and the claims questionable.
Ambient thermal energy gradient (temperature difference) and possibly mechanical vibration/pressure, but poorly quantified. The device appears to be a multi-layer structure combining piezoelectric (PVDF) and pyroelectric materials to convert thermal fluctuations and mechanical energy into electricity.
The patent describes a hybrid piezoelectric-pyroelectric nanogenerator claiming high conversion efficiencies (72%, 60%), but fails to properly account for all ambient energy inputs and compare performance against thermodynamic limits for heat-to-work conversion. The language is technically dense but obscures the fundamental energy accounting, making the claims questionable rather than demonstrably violating conservation laws.
Thermal gradient (temperature difference between hot source Th and cold sink Tc) - a thermoelectric generator (TEG) converting heat flow into electricity via the Seebeck effect.
The patent describes a design method for a segmented thermoelectric generator, a legitimate device that converts heat flow into electricity. No explicit violation of energy conservation or thermodynamics is claimed. However, the language is technically obfuscated, making vague claims about 'maximum performance' without anchoring them to fundamental limits, which warrants scrutiny rather than outright dismissal.
Sunlight (primary) and thermal gradients created by solar heating. The system appears to combine solar thermal collection, thermoelectric generation (Seebeck effect), and possibly photovoltaic effects.
The device is a complex hybrid solar system combining thermal, thermoelectric, and purported photoelectric elements. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, its description suggests efficiency gains from cascading processes without proper thermodynamic accounting, making its claimed performance highly questionable. The energy source is ultimately sunlight, but the internal energy flows are described in a convoluted and physically ambiguous manner.
Unclear. The patent describes a thermoelectric conversion module with nickel-containing layers and high thermal conductivity regions, but does not specify any external energy input or thermal gradient source. Implied energy might come from ambient heat, but no gradient creation mechanism is described.
The patent describes a multilayer thermoelectric device structure but fails to identify the energy source or temperature gradient required for thermoelectric conversion. While the structure itself may be physically possible, the claims imply energy conversion functionality without explaining how the necessary thermodynamic gradient is established or maintained, making the energy accounting incomplete.
Unclear. Mentions hydrogen production, CH4 (methane), and a 'Green-Bio Complex' (GBC) suggesting biological/biomass processes. Possibly attempts to combine hydrogen generation with biomass conversion, but no explicit primary energy input is quantified.
The patent describes a complex, integrated system involving hydrogen production, storage, and biomass conversion, but fails to provide any quantitative energy balance. The language is vague and obfuscates the fundamental source of net energy, making it impossible to verify compliance with conservation laws. It exhibits characteristics of a system claiming synergistic benefits without clarifying the primary energy input.
Salinity gradient energy (between high concentration brine (10-20 wt%) and low concentration brine (3-10 wt%)) converted via Pressure Retarded Osmosis (PRO) and Reverse Electrodialysis (RED). The system appears to use internal recirculation and concentration steps.
The patent describes a complex cascading system using PRO and RED to extract energy from salinity gradients. While the individual components are physically valid, the overall system description lacks a clear accounting of net energy inputs needed to sustain the internal recirculation and concentration processes, creating a risk of an implied perpetual motion machine. The claims are vague on overall system efficiency and net power output relative to the initial chemical potential.
Thermal energy from a rotating drum's surface (via friction or waste heat) converted to electricity via thermoelectric generators (TEGs).
The device is a thermoelectric generator (TEG) stack attached to a rotating drum. While TEGs legitimately convert heat flow to electricity, the patent fails to identify the energy source needed to CREATE and MAINTAIN the temperature gradient across the TEGs. Using the drum's surface as the sole heat source while actively cooling the other side would quickly equalize temperatures unless the drum is constantly heated by an external process (e.g., friction, motors, external heaters), which is not specified. The claims obfuscate this by focusing on construction details.
The claimed energy source is the salinity gradient between high-concentration (cationic) and low-concentration (anionic) solutions, harvested via reverse electrodialysis (RED). The system appears to use a pH gradient to regenerate or cycle these solutions, implying the input energy is the chemical potential energy of the salinity gradient and the energy required to establish/maintain the pH gradient.
The patent describes a reverse electrodialysis system that uses pH gradients to allegedly recover and cycle saline solutions. The core physics issue is incomplete energy accounting: the energy required to create and maintain the pH gradient, which is essential for the claimed cycling, is not included in the input energy balance. Without this, the system risks violating the first law by implying net energy extraction from a closed chemical system.
Waste heat from an internal combustion engine is used to create and maintain a concentration gradient (draw solute concentration difference) via a separation and mixing cycle. The claimed useful energy output comes from converting this concentration gradient energy back into electricity or mechanical work.
The device attempts to recover internal combustion engine waste heat by using it to power a cyclic concentration-gradient engine. The primary physics issue is that creating a usable concentration gradient from low-grade waste heat typically requires more work (or an equivalent high-quality energy input) than can be recovered from that gradient, suggesting incomplete energy accounting for the separation step. Without clear quantification, it risks violating the second law of thermodynamics.
Waste heat from internal combustion engine used to drive a concentration gradient energy conversion system (likely osmotic or similar) via a draw solute separation and mixing cycle.
The patent describes using waste heat to regenerate a draw solute in a concentration gradient power system. While concentration gradients can store and release energy, the critical missing analysis is the thermodynamic efficiency of using low-grade waste heat to perform the separation work. The energy required to separate the solute (creating the high concentration solution CH) must be less than the energy recovered from the osmotic mixing process for net gain, which is thermodynamically challenging with low-temperature heat. The description lacks the quantitative energy balance needed to validate the claim.
Sunlight (primary), ambient thermal gradient (secondary via thermoelectric generator)
The system appears to be a hybrid solar PV-thermoelectric generator with thermal storage. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, the description is obfuscated and implies synergistic gains without addressing the fundamental trade-off: heating a PV cell to run a TEG reduces PV efficiency. The claims are vague and lack the rigorous energy accounting needed to validate a net performance improvement.
Ambient thermal energy (heat) is claimed as the input, converted to electricity via asymmetric charge transfer between particle surfaces mediated by a gas.
The device claims to convert ambient thermal energy directly to electricity using asymmetric particle surfaces and a gas. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, it fails to account for the energy required to establish the critical surface asymmetry and lacks a clear thermodynamic model, making its claimed performance and feasibility highly questionable.
Unclear. Mentions actuators and possibly piezoelectric elements or other transducers, but the primary energy input is not explicitly defined. May imply extracting energy from ambient vibrations or thermal gradients without specifying the source gradient.
The patent text is vague and uses technical terms (actuators, transducers, control units) in a complex, poorly defined configuration. It fails to specify the primary energy source or provide a complete energy balance, making it impossible to verify compliance with conservation laws. The description suggests energy generation from ambient conditions without a clear, sustainable thermodynamic gradient.
The primary energy input appears to be the electrical energy required to generate the variable external magnetic field (3) that modulates the permeability of the switching element. The permanent magnet provides a static bias field, but its energy is not consumed; it establishes a magnetic potential.
The device uses a controlled external field to modulate the permeability of a layered magnetic switch, thereby changing the flux from a permanent magnet to induce voltage in a coil. This is a physically plausible magnetoresistive or variable-reluctance principle. However, the patent description is vague on quantitative energy flows, creating risk that a naive interpretation could suggest output energy exceeding the control input energy, which would violate conservation laws. The energy to create the controlling field must be fully accounted for.
Unclear. Text describes a battery energy storage system (BESS) with multiple battery units and control algorithms for managing charge/discharge, but does not specify the primary energy input source. Likely assumes grid electricity or renewable generation as the ultimate source.
The patent describes a complex control system for managing multiple battery units but fails to clearly identify the primary energy source or make testable efficiency claims. The focus on algorithms for power allocation and state-of-charge management, without a complete energy balance, makes it impossible to verify compliance with conservation laws, placing it in the 'questionable' category requiring significant clarification.
Salinity gradient power (apparent mixing of high-concentration salt water (50-75 g/L) with low-concentration water (0.01-1 g/L) via a reverse electrodialysis or similar electrochemical cell).
The patent describes a salinity gradient power device, which is a valid concept. However, the claims are presented in a way that suggests sustained or amplified power output without clarifying how the crucial salinity gradient is maintained. This creates a high risk of incomplete energy accounting, as the system's net output cannot exceed the energy input used to create the initial concentration difference.
Claimed to combine geothermal energy (heat differential) and vibration energy from drilling operations, with unclear primary energy input for the vibration harvesting mechanism.
The patent describes a system combining geothermal and vibration energy harvesting for downhole power. While geothermal energy is a valid external source, the vibration harvesting component is highly questionable. It claims to capture vibration energy from the drill's own operation, which is not a net new energy input but a parasitic recovery from the primary drilling work. The overall claims of solving energy insufficiency and creating a sustainable source suggest a misunderstanding of the energy balance, as harvesting the vibration necessarily imposes an additional load on the drill system.
Electrical input to the electromagnetic unit(s), controlled by the control unit(s). The device is a motor; the electrical energy is converted to magnetic attraction to pull the pendulum, facilitating its rotation.
The device is an electrically powered motor with a pendulum and a timed electromagnet. It does not inherently violate physics, as the energy clearly comes from the electrical supply. However, the patent's focus on 'facilitating' rotation without clear efficiency claims or energy accounting makes it questionable and prone to over-unity misinterpretations.
Unclear. The patent describes a zinc oxide nanostructure synthesis method using zinc salts, dopants, and heat treatment (100-200°C). The claimed 'energy amplification' appears to reference some unspecified ambient energy harvesting or catalytic effect, but no explicit energy input mechanism is defined.
The patent describes a method for synthesizing zinc oxide nanostructures, not a clear energy conversion device. While the synthesis process itself may be chemically valid, the claims of 'energy amplification' are physically meaningless without specifying what energy is being amplified and from what source. The terminology suggests energy creation without proper thermodynamic accounting.
Unclear. The patent describes modifying surfaces of clock components to give them electric charge properties, suggesting electrostatic repulsion might be used to transfer torque with reduced or no contact. The ultimate energy source appears to be the winding mechanism or battery of the clock, but the description implies reduced friction losses.
The patent describes modifying clock components to use electrostatic repulsion for force transmission, aiming to reduce friction. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, it is questionable because it fails to account for the energy required to create and maintain the electric charges on the surfaces, obfuscating the complete energy pathway and potential losses.
Ambient thermal/chemical energy from water layer and conductive surfaces, potentially via nano-scale effects like double-layer capacitance, streaming potentials, or ion concentration gradients.
The patent describes a device that may harness real nano-scale electrochemical or electrokinetic effects, but it fails to explicitly account for the initial energy source driving the current. Without a defined gradient (e.g., chemical, thermal, pressure) to be depleted, the system risks appearing to create energy from an equilibrium state, which violates thermodynamics. The vague description fits a pattern of incomplete energy accounting.
Ambient humidity/temperature gradients and electrical stimulation of high-molecular films (likely electroactive polymers or hydrogels). Claims suggest energy conversion from environmental humidity/temperature changes and electrical input.
The patent describes a humidity/temperature-activated actuator system but uses vague technical language ('high-molecular actuator element') without clear physical principles. While it could be a legitimate energy-harvesting device using environmental gradients, the claims are structured to emphasize output relative to control input only, suggesting incomplete energy accounting typical of over-unity claims.
Electrical input to piezoelectric/transducer elements that drive a linear motor, which moves a cosmetic element (massage head) back and forth. The device appears to be a handheld electric facial massager.
The claim describes a complex, obfuscated mechanism for what is essentially a handheld electric massager. While it likely does not violate energy conservation (the electrical input powers the vibration), the description is so vague and uses physics terminology in a potentially misleading way that proper energy accounting and thermodynamic analysis are impossible. The core function is valid, but the patent language is questionable.
Ambient thermal energy (temperature gradient between 100-120°C and 10-14°C) driving ionic polymer actuators, possibly combined with electrical input for control.
The patent describes ionic polymer actuators driven by thermal gradients, which is physically possible as a heat engine, but uses language suggesting 'energy multiplication' without complete energy accounting. While thermal gradient actuation is valid, the claims lack rigorous thermodynamic analysis and quantitative efficiency limits, making the overall energy balance unclear.
Ambient kinetic energy of the gas flow. The claim implies conversion of gas flow energy into electrical energy via a thermoelectric (Seebeck) effect, which requires a temperature gradient.
The proposed method for flow sensing is physically questionable because it incorrectly applies the Seebeck effect, which requires a thermal gradient, to a scenario described only by gas flow dynamics. While not a clear violation of energy conservation (the gas flow's kinetic energy is the ultimate source), the described mechanism is incoherent and suggests a misunderstanding of the underlying physics.
Unclear. Implied to be from electron tunneling driven by thermal energy or an external bias, but no explicit power input is described for the electron emission, cooling, or actuator/sensor operation.
The patent describes a clever micro-mechanical system to maintain a tunneling gap, but it fails to account for the energy required to emit electrons and achieve net cooling. The claim of 'excellent cooling and power supply efficiency' suggests a violation of the second law if it implies cooling without a net work input or a proper heat sink.
Electrical input from applied DC voltage between electrodes, which presumably drives electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flow or electrokinetic phenomena in the fluid.
The patent describes a fluid composition designed to move under an applied DC voltage to drive a rotor. While the basic concept of using electrical energy to create fluid motion (e.g., via electroosmosis or EHD pumping) is physically possible, the disclosure lacks any energy accounting or performance limits, focusing solely on chemical composition. This obfuscation makes it impossible to verify compliance with conservation laws, raising significant questions.
Mechanical work input from the means for moving the members relative to each other, possibly converting mechanical shear energy into electrical energy via the shear-responsive liquid.
The claim describes a mechanical apparatus but does not specify the physics of the 'shear-responsive liquid' or provide any performance metrics. Without knowing the energy conversion mechanism, it is impossible to verify if energy accounting is complete or if it respects thermodynamic limits, though no explicit violation is stated.
Waste heat from aluminum electrolysis cell (pre-baked anode type). The device claims to harvest residual thermal energy from the cell's interior via thermoelectric modules using a temperature gradient maintained by a cooling module.
The device appears to be a thermoelectric generator harvesting industrial waste heat, which is physically possible. However, the claims are questionable because they omit the energy required to power the active cooling module that maintains the cold side temperature, creating an incomplete energy balance that could misleadingly suggest net energy gain without accounting for all inputs.
Chemical energy from combustion of fuel (presumably hydrogen or hydrocarbon) in a micro-combustor, with thermoelectric conversion of resulting heat gradient.
This appears to be a micro-combustor with thermoelectric generation using optimized fluid dynamics. While the geometric design claims may improve combustion stability and heat transfer, the patent lacks quantitative performance data needed to verify compliance with thermodynamic limits. No explicit violation is claimed, but the absence of efficiency metrics and reliance on complex flow descriptions raises questions about whether implied performance exceeds physical limits.
Ambient humidity gradient (water vapor concentration difference) driving ion transport, with chemical energy from redox-active materials (polypyrrole, polyaniline) and carbon electrodes.
The device appears to be a hygroelectric or moisture-driven generator that harvests energy from humidity gradients using ion-selective membranes and redox-active electrodes. While such energy harvesting is physically possible, the claims of 'high output power density' and 'enhanced thermoelectric performance' are vague and lack quantitative comparison to thermodynamic limits, suggesting technical obfuscation rather than a clear violation.
Primarily electrical input for water electrolysis (hydrogen production), with claimed waste heat recovery from combustion exhaust using thermoelectric and shape memory alloy (SMA) generators.
This patent describes a complex hydrogen energy system with waste heat recovery, but provides no quantitative efficiency data or complete energy balance. While individual components (electrolysis, combustion, thermoelectric generation) are physically possible, the system appears to convert high-quality electrical energy to lower-quality forms with inevitable losses, and the claimed 'low-grade heat recovery' using SMA materials would have extremely low efficiency, making net energy gain highly questionable without proper accounting.
Ambient vibration energy (from vehicle motion) and thermal gradients (between oil tank interior/exterior and environment). Claims to harvest vibration to generate 'first electrical energy' and use temperature differences for thermoelectric generation ('second electrical energy'), plus a bidirectional heat pump/thermoelectric system that consumes electrical energy to heat/cool oil while recovering waste heat as 'third electrical energy'.
The patent describes a complex multi-source energy harvesting and thermal management system that appears physically plausible in its individual components (vibration harvesting, thermoelectric generation, heat pumping). However, the overall claims of 'self-supplied electricity' and the described operation of the bidirectional thermoelectric system suggest a net energy gain is implied, which would violate conservation laws if not fully accounted for. The lack of quantitative efficiency data and the ambiguous description of energy flows make it questionable.
Electrical input to motors (261, 262) driving cleaning components. No explicit energy harvesting mechanism described despite being part of a 'waste heat cogeneration power device' system.
The patent describes a mechanical cleaning device for a solar panel (or similar surface) within a waste-heat cogeneration system. While the cleaning mechanism itself is mechanically plausible and consumes electrical energy, the claims about ensuring 'high-efficiency working state' are vague and lack any physical justification or energy accounting linking the cleaning action to a net performance gain in the primary power generation system.
Ambient thermal gradient (heat from PV panel surface to environment) and potential electrical input for control systems, pumps, and sensors. Claims suggest using phase-change materials and nanofluid working substance for 'gradient recovery'.
The patent describes a complex thermal management and protection system for photovoltaic panels using phase-change materials, nanofluids, and thermoelectrics. While individual components are physically possible, the overall claims of 'gradient energy recovery' are vague, lack complete energy accounting, and do not address fundamental thermodynamic efficiency limits, making the net energy benefit questionable.
Ambient thermal gradient (heat flow through thermoelectric module from hot to cold side maintained by encapsulation layers with different graphene content and thermal conductivity)
The patent describes a thermoelectric module with graded encapsulation layers containing graphene to maintain a temperature difference, but makes vague claims about 'energy multiplication efficiency' without proper energy accounting.

Thermoelectric generation from body heat (skin temperature gradient) and pneumatic system (likely user-powered compression).
The patent describes a rehabilitation glove system with thermoelectric generation from body heat and a pneumatic actuation system. While thermoelectric generation from body heat is physically possible, the claimed 'self-powered' operation is highly questionable because the electrical output from such a small temperature gradient is minuscule and likely insufficient to power the described sensors, display, communication, and pneumatic control valves, suggesting incomplete energy accounting or reliance on an unstated external power source.

The patent describes a complex wastewater treatment device with filtering, digestion, flow, and thermoelectric components, but provides no complete energy balance or efficiency analysis. While not explicitly claiming over-unity, the vague description of nutrient reproportioning and temperature difference mechanisms without clear energy sources raises questions about thermodynamic feasibility and practical effectiveness.
Lunar day-night temperature gradient (solar heating during lunar day, radiative cooling during lunar night) with thermal storage material to bridge the dark period.
The device appears to be a thermoelectric generator powered by lunar temperature cycles with thermal storage, which is physically plausible in principle. However, the claims of continuous stable power through the lunar night are questionable without quantitative analysis of energy balance, storage capacity, and thermoelectric efficiency given the extreme lunar environment and long night duration.
Multiple sources: solar panels (primary), grid electricity (backup), battery storage, plus claimed 'energy recovery devices' including micro wind turbine and thermoelectric generator.
The patent describes a smart window system with ventilation, sensors, and multiple power sources. While the core concept of an automated window is physically valid, the inclusion of 'energy recovery' devices within its own airflow loop is highly questionable from an energy accounting perspective, as these devices would likely recover far less energy than the system consumes to create the airflow in the first place.
Electrical input to thermoelectric devices (Peltier elements) is the primary energy source. The device appears to be a thermoelectric heat pump system that transfers heat against a temperature gradient using electrical power.
The patent describes a thermoelectric heat pump system using Peltier elements to transfer heat against a temperature gradient. While thermoelectric devices are legitimate, the claims contain vague performance assertions without quantitative data or clear thermodynamic accounting, making it impossible to verify compliance with fundamental limits like the Carnot efficiency bound for heat pumps.
Ocean thermal gradient (temperature difference between warm surface water and cold deep water) via a working fluid that evaporates and condenses.
The device is essentially an Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) system using a gravity-assisted heat pipe. While the core concept of using ocean thermal gradients is physically valid, the description suggests 'stacking' thermoelectric generation with a heat exchanger cycle to improve efficiency. This risks double-counting the same thermal energy and lacks clarity on whether the combined conversion efficiency respects the fundamental Carnot limit for the given temperature difference.
Thermal gradient between a heat source (5) stored in an inner chamber and a cold sink (1) in deep ocean water. The device uses thermoelectric generators (2) to convert this temperature difference into electricity.
The device appears to be a thermoelectric generator using a temperature gradient between a stored heat source and cold seawater. While this basic principle is physically valid, the patent is questionable because it lacks crucial energy accounting details about the heat source's nature and capacity, making it impossible to evaluate its long-term sustainability or whether it might deplete a finite stored energy reserve.
External electrical source powers the system initially; claims to harvest mechanical energy from pulley operation and thermal energy from temperature differences between environment and system components.
The patent describes a complex system with energy harvesting from mechanical motion and thermal gradients, but fails to provide a complete energy balance. It uses technical terms like 'optimal energy recovery rate' and 'multi-modal collection' while obscuring whether total output could exceed total input from the external power source, creating questionable perpetual-motion-like implications without explicit efficiency claims.
Ambient thermal energy (heat) is claimed to be converted to electrical energy through a thermoelectric storage battery using asymmetric thermal exchange layers and photothermal coatings.
The patent describes a complex thermoelectric storage battery but fails to provide complete energy accounting or compare claimed performance to thermodynamic limits. While the device may function as a thermoelectric generator, the language suggests possible over-unity implications by claiming 'stable electrochemical reactions under thermal driving' without specifying the necessary temperature gradients or entropy sinks required by the second law.
Ambient thermal gradient (micro temperature difference) converted via thermoelectric generators (TEGs) or thermocouples, with an unspecified heating element (加热件) that requires external energy input.
The device appears to be a wind-speed sensor powered by thermoelectric generators using a micro temperature difference. The core issue is that the heating element, crucial for creating the temperature gradient, constitutes an unaccounted energy input. Without quantifying this input versus the TEG output, claims of effective operation are thermodynamically ambiguous and suggest incomplete energy accounting.

This patent describes a thermoelectric generator system that attempts to use its own waste heat to power coolant circulation via a steam turbine. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, it exhibits questionable thermodynamic design by creating a feedback loop where the cooling system (powered by waste heat) would reduce the very temperature gradient needed for electricity generation, likely making the system self-limiting or inefficient.

The claimed efficiency improvements are vague and lack rigorous accounting, making the overall energy balance questionable.
Ambient energy harvesting from body motion (triboelectric) and body-to-environment temperature gradient (thermoelectric).
The system describes legitimate ambient energy harvesting methods (triboelectric and thermoelectric), but makes vague 'self-powered' claims without quantifying whether the minuscule power generated (likely microwatts) can realistically power multiple sensors, a processor, and a display. This is a classic case of incomplete energy accounting and technical obfuscation, making the feasibility highly questionable without supporting data.
Ambient thermal gradient (micro-thermoelectric generator) and mechanical vibration (Moroza-Nami generator) from power line motion.
The patent describes a hybrid energy harvesting system using thermoelectric and vibration-based generators on power lines. While both technologies are physically possible, the claims are vague about actual power outputs and create an impression of synergistic energy multiplication without proper energy accounting. The system likely harvests tiny amounts of ambient energy but presents it as a significant power source.
The system appears to extract waste heat from a 'swirl-controlled engine' (likely an internal combustion engine) using a heat pipe loop with evaporator and condenser sections. It then uses a thermoelectric generator (TEG) to convert a portion of the temperature difference within that loop into electricity, which is stored in a battery.
The system describes a waste heat recovery system using heat pipes and a thermoelectric generator, which is physically plausible. However, the patent obscures the primary fuel energy input for the engine and makes no measurable efficiency claims, making it impossible to verify if it respects thermodynamic limits. The description leans on technical jargon without clear accounting.

The device combines known elements (solar heating, desiccants, thermoelectric generation, superhydrophobic surfaces) for atmospheric water harvesting. However, the claim of a 'zero energy consumption cycle' without external power is questionable, as it relies on internal thermoelectric generation whose power output is fundamentally limited by the available temperature difference. The energy balance between the parasitic loads (fan, pump) and the generated power is not substantiated, suggesting incomplete accounting.

However, the patent makes vague claims about efficiency and control without providing complete energy accounting or quantitative performance data against thermodynamic limits, requiring further scrutiny.
Ambient heat from hot heavy oil transport pipe (160-180°C) and external heating modules (steam/electric). Thermoelectric generators convert radial temperature gradient between pipe wall and phase change materials to electricity, which then drives electrothermal heating elements within the insulation.
The system appears to use thermoelectric generators to extract electricity from the temperature gradient between hot oil pipes and phase change materials, then uses that electricity for electrothermal heating within the insulation. This creates an energy recirculation loop with inevitable losses at each conversion stage, making net energy gain thermodynamically impossible. While heat storage and management are plausible, the described energy flow suggests incomplete accounting of conversion losses.
Thermal gradient from aircraft engine combustion chamber (primary) and thermoelectric generator converting waste heat to electricity (secondary backup)
The patent describes a thermoelectric generator mounted on an aircraft engine tailpipe to provide backup power. While thermoelectric conversion is physically valid, the claims imply this provides independent backup power when it actually harvests waste heat from the same primary engine. The complex mechanical control system adds unnecessary complexity without clear thermodynamic benefit over simpler thermoelectric installations.
Primary: External power grid and waste heat recovery from electrolysis cells. Claims to store energy from waste heat recovery and low-price grid power, then use it to power electrolysis during high-price periods.
The system appears to be a legitimate waste heat recovery and energy storage scheme for electrolysis plants, but the description is vague on efficiency and could be misinterpreted as creating a perpetual energy loop. Without explicit efficiency numbers, it's questionable whether the claimed economic benefits stem from true thermodynamic savings or implied over-unity recovery.
Claimed to be ocean thermal gradient (OTEC-like), but unclear if the described system actually extracts net energy from that gradient or relies on internal stored/pressurized gas energy.
The patent describes a complex hydraulic/phase-change system for ocean thermal energy conversion but fails to specify the complete thermodynamic cycle or energy flows. The reliance on a pre-pressurized gas chamber and vague connection between the heat exchanger and hydraulic generator raises serious questions about whether net energy output truly comes from the thermal gradient or from depleting internal stored energy.

The patent describes a bilayer textile that purportedly combines hygroelectric and thermoelectric effects for 'self-powered' generation. While both effects are physically valid for harvesting ambient energy, the claims lack rigorous energy accounting and make vague comparative performance statements that obscure whether thermodynamic limits are respected. The description focuses on material preparation rather than energy balance analysis.
Geothermal gradient (temperature difference between underground heat and surface cooling) used to drive a thermoelectric generator via Seebeck/Peltier effects. The generated electricity is stored and used to power valve actuators.
The device appears to be a geothermal-powered flow control valve that uses temperature differences to generate electricity for its own actuators.

Sunlight (primary) with thermal gradient utilization via thermoelectric generation
The device combines photovoltaic and thermoelectric generation using sunlight, which is physically valid, but the claims about 'avoiding thermal feedback' and solving 'temperature matching problems' suggest conceptual misunderstandings about heat flow and energy conservation in hybrid systems without providing complete energy accounting.
High-temperature, high-pressure exhaust gas from a 'turbine engine test' (the primary energy input). The system attempts to recover waste heat and pressure differentials from this exhaust stream to generate additional electricity.
The system describes a complex cascade of turbines and heat exchangers to recover energy from a high-pressure exhaust stream. While waste heat recovery is physically possible, the description suggests extracting multiple rounds of work from the same energy source without clear accounting for degradation in temperature/pressure or external energy inputs for cooling/recompression, raising concerns about implied over-unity efficiency.
The patent describes a material fabrication process (rice husk-based thermal solid material) that is then claimed to be used in a 'photothermal generator'. The energy source for electricity generation is implied to be sunlight/heat, but the patent does not specify the actual energy conversion mechanism or quantify input/output.
The patent describes a plausible material synthesis method for rice husk-based composites, but its application to electricity generation is presented without any physics-based energy conversion mechanism or performance data. The vague claim of use in a 'photothermal generator' without specifying how it converts energy raises questions about whether it could violate thermodynamic limits if interpreted as a novel energy source.

Sunlight (photovoltaic conversion) and thermal gradient (thermoelectric conversion) from waste heat of the photovoltaic panel's back side.
The device is a hybrid solar photovoltaic (PV) and thermoelectric generator (TEG) system. While physically possible, the patent description suggests an unrealistic energy gain by implying the TEG creates new energy from the PV's waste heat, rather than merely recovering a fraction of it. The total electrical output is fundamentally limited by, and must be less than, the solar energy incident on the PV panel.
The primary energy source is waste heat from the water turbine bearing, converted to electricity via thermoelectric modules (TEGs) placed between dual-layer iron plates surrounding the bearing.

However, no explicit external energy input (electrical, chemical fuel, thermal gradient, etc.) is clearly identified to drive the claimed energy generation or amplification.
The patent describes a complex hydrogel-electrochemical system but fails to identify the primary energy source driving the claimed process. It suggests energy amplification or multiplication, which violates energy conservation unless all inputs (including ambient/chemical gradients) are fully accounted for.

The device appears to be a thermoelectric generator that converts waste heat from CO2 adsorption into electricity, which is physically plausible in principle. However, the patent lacks quantitative energy accounting, fails to specify the temperature gradients needed for practical efficiency, and makes vague claims about energy reduction without demonstrating net energy gain or comparing to thermodynamic limits.
Ambient air temperature gradient (heat sink) + battery waste heat from fuel cell vehicle operation
The system uses thermoelectric generators (TEGs) placed on heat exchangers cooled by ambient air to convert waste heat and ambient thermal gradients into electricity. While physically possible, the patent frames this as 'energy recovery' from the fuel cell, obscuring that the useful TEG output primarily comes from exploiting the ambient temperature sink (a free energy input), not from magically recycling waste heat with perfect efficiency. No thermodynamic laws are broken, but the claims are misleading.
Ambient waste heat from high-temperature steel cooling water (38°C or less) via semiconductor thermoelectric modules attached to condenser tubes, with electrical output stored in an external energy storage device.
The patent describes attaching thermoelectric generators to condenser tubes to recover waste heat from cooling steel, which is physically plausible. However, it makes vague claims about 'utilizing waste heat' without quantifying input heat, electrical output, or parasitic losses (e.g., pumping at ≥10 m/s), failing to demonstrate net energy gain or respect thermodynamic limits for low-temperature differentials.

The patent describes a thermoelectric energy harvesting system from a stove, which is a valid energy source. However, its core claim of improving power generation efficiency through impedance matching is technically misleading, as this optimizes power transfer, not the underlying thermodynamic conversion. The description lacks the rigorous energy accounting needed to verify that the system's net output is physically possible.
Appears to be waste heat recovery using thermoelectric modules (Seebeck effect) with enhanced heat transfer via fin arrays and heat sinks. No primary energy source is specified; it seems to convert existing thermal gradients into electricity.
This patent describes a thermoelectric generator with optimized fin arrays for heat transfer. While the Seebeck effect is physically valid, the claims lack essential energy accounting - they don't specify the heat source or quantify efficiency relative to thermodynamic limits, making it impossible to verify compliance with conservation laws.

The device is a thermoelectric generator (TEG) attached to a transformer to recover waste heat. While the core concept of waste heat recovery via the Seebeck effect is physically valid, the patent claims are vague on performance metrics and omit the energy cost of maintaining the cold side (cooling fluid circulation). This incomplete accounting makes it impossible to evaluate if claimed 'efficiency improvements' are thermodynamically sound or merely represent a shift of energy consumption.
Ambient light energy (illumination from lamp 8) converted via LEC fiber photoelectric effect, with mechanical triggering of self-oscillation in the vibration structure.
The device appears to be a light-powered generator using LEC fibers, but the description contains problematic physics claims about 'self-oscillation' triggered by illumination without clear energy accounting.

The patent describes a watch powered by a thermoelectric generator using an internal temperature gradient. The physics is questionable because it lacks a clear, sustainable mechanism to maintain the required temperature difference between its internal chambers. Without an external, continuous thermal input (like a significant, maintained body-wrist temperature difference), the system would reach equilibrium and stop generating power.
Solar radiation (primary) and thermal energy from photovoltaic waste heat (secondary). Claims to use thermoelectric modules to convert waste heat into additional electricity.
The system appears to combine photovoltaic panels with thermoelectric modules to capture waste heat, which is physically plausible.

The patent describes a hybrid solar PV and thermoelectric generator system, which is physically possible. However, the abstract makes claims of continuous, weather-independent power that exceed what can be delivered by the identified solar source alone, indicating incomplete accounting of total energy input versus output. The described configuration is unlikely to generate significant additional power from the PV panel's waste heat.
Unclear. The patent describes a manufacturing method for a 'charged elastomer-type actuator' involving winding/unwinding layers, but no explicit energy input mechanism is specified for operation. Likely electrical input during use, but the manufacturing process itself involves energy inputs (heating, liquid contact) that are not clearly accounted for in performance claims.
The patent describes a manufacturing process for an elastomer actuator but fails to specify the operational energy source or provide complete energy accounting. While the manufacturing steps themselves (winding, heating, liquid contact) require energy inputs, the document uses technical terms without clarifying the physics of energy conversion during actuator operation, making proper thermodynamic analysis impossible.

Solar photovoltaic panels (primary) and thermoelectric generator (secondary) using waste heat from solar panels and ambient temperature gradient
The system combines solar PV with thermoelectric generation using solar panel waste heat, which is physically possible but described vaguely. The main issue is unclear energy accounting: whether the thermoelectric mode produces meaningful net power beyond what's already captured by PV, and whether the switching system consumes more energy than it produces in backup mode.
Unclear. The text describes a CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) system using calcium compounds (Ca sorbent) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to capture CO2 from flue gas. Energy inputs are implied (for pumps, compressors, sorbent regeneration) but not explicitly quantified or accounted for.
The patent describes a complex CCUS process but fails to provide a complete energy balance. While the individual chemical processes (CO2 capture with Ca-based sorbents, regeneration with NaOH) are physically possible, the claims are vague about energy inputs required for regeneration, compression, and pumping, making it impossible to verify thermodynamic compliance or net efficiency.

The patent describes a hybrid ocean energy system combining OTEC and tidal power, which is physically possible in principle. However, it makes questionable claims about continuous output and mutual supplementation between the systems without clear energy storage or thermodynamic justification, suggesting incomplete energy accounting and technical vagueness rather than outright violation of conservation laws.
Ambient energy harvesting from solar, ocean currents, and thermal gradients (ocean temperature differences). The system appears to be a multi-mode underwater glider with battery storage and intelligent charging management.
The patent describes a control method for a multi-source energy harvesting underwater glider but fails to provide the necessary physics analysis to prove the claimed power levels are feasible from the stated ambient sources (solar, ocean current, thermal gradient).

Waste heat from unspecified industrial sources (high-temperature steel slag) converted via thermoelectric modules.
The patent describes a thermoelectric generator using industrial waste heat, which is physically valid in principle. However, the abstract's claim of 'no need for external power' is questionable because maintaining the cold side temperature via cooling fins/water tanks likely requires energy input (pumps, fans, or ambient air convection) that isn't properly accounted for in the energy balance.
Ambient thermal gradient (via thermoelectric generator) and water evaporation (via unspecified mechanism). The device appears to combine a thermoelectric module with a carbon-coated paper layer and a water-absorbing layer.
The device combines a standard thermoelectric generator with a proprietary coated paper layer, suggesting it harvests energy from ambient temperature differences and water evaporation.

The patent describes a complex thermal management system using thermoelectric generation and heat pumps to recover vehicle waste heat. While individual components are physically possible, the claims lack quantitative energy balances and use vague efficiency language, making it impossible to verify compliance with thermodynamic laws. The system likely functions as a waste heat recovery system with limited net benefit, not a perpetual motion device.
Ambient heat from the controlled device surface, converted to electricity via magnetocaloric effect; plus electrical input from the thermal management power source to drive the thermoelectric cooler/heater.
The patent describes a hybrid system using magnetocaloric and thermoelectric elements for temperature control. The core issue is that it appears to use heat from the controlled device to generate electricity via the magnetocaloric effect while simultaneously using that same heat transfer for cooling/heating, without accounting for the energy required to drive the magnetic cycles. This suggests a violation of energy conservation if net output exceeds input.
Primary: Sunlight (photovoltaic conversion). Secondary: Passive radiative cooling to sky (thermal gradient). The system attempts to use waste heat from PV cells for thermoelectric generation and passive cooling for heat rejection.
The system combines legitimate concepts (PV, thermoelectric, radiative cooling) but makes vague, unquantified claims about overall efficiency improvements and reduced cooling energy. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, the description lacks complete energy accounting and makes potentially misleading implications about net performance gains beyond the sum of the individual effects.
Thermal gradient between pipeline and environment (thermoelectric generation)
The device uses thermoelectric generation from pipeline-environment temperature differences to power cathodic protection. While thermoelectric generation is physically valid, the claims are questionable because they don't quantify whether the generated power is sufficient for effective corrosion protection, and they misleadingly present 'no external electrical connection' as novel when the thermal gradient itself is the external energy source.
Ambient solar thermal gradient (temperature difference) and sunlight. The material is claimed to convert thermal/light energy to electricity, but the mechanism is unclear.
The patent describes a complex material for solar thermal difference power generation but fails to specify the energy conversion physics or account for the enormous manufacturing energy costs.

Ambient energy harvesting from three sources during inverter prototype testing: 1) Temperature gradient from radiator surface (thermoelectric), 2) Electromagnetic fields from radiator (electromagnetic harvesting), 3) Vibration from inverter-busbar connections (piezoelectric/vibration harvesting).
The patent describes a monitoring/evaluation system for ambient energy harvesting during inverter testing, not a primary energy generation device. While individual harvesting methods (thermoelectric, electromagnetic, vibration) are physically valid, the claims are vague about overall effectiveness and lack energy accounting to determine if the system could be net positive. It appears to be a measurement system rather than an overunity device.
Solar thermal energy concentrated by lenses/mirrors drives an endothermic chemical reaction (likely metal oxide reduction) to produce hydrogen. Thermoelectric generators attempt to recover waste heat from the reactor insulation layer.
The system's primary energy source is clearly solar thermal, which is valid. However, the key novel claim—that embedding thermoelectric generators in the reactor insulation to recover 'lost heat' improves overall efficiency—is thermodynamically questionable. Extracting work via a TEG necessarily increases the heat flow through the insulation, cooling the reactor and likely reducing the efficiency of the high-temperature chemical reaction it aims to support, suggesting a flawed energy accounting.
Ambient electromagnetic wave energy (radio frequency/microwave) is the claimed input, converted to heat via an absorbing material, then to electricity via a thermoelectric generator (TEG).
The device describes a physically possible but likely very inefficient two-stage energy conversion process (RF→heat→electricity). The patent obscures the critical efficiency comparison by omitting quantitative performance data, making it impossible to verify if it offers any practical advantage over known methods, and risks implying 'free energy' by not explicitly accounting for the extremely low available ambient RF power density.

The device appears to be a thermoelectric generator system using heat from a described 'nuclear waste heat pipe'. While thermoelectric conversion is physically valid, the patent is questionable because it fails to explicitly define the nature and sustainability of the primary heat source, creating risk of an implied perpetual or over-unity system that would violate thermodynamics if the heat source is not externally replenished.
Ambient thermal gradient (heat source to sink) for thermoelectric generation, plus electrical input for polarization treatment of the ferroelectric substrate.
The patent describes a ferroelectric-thermoelectric composite material but makes vague claims about performance enhancement through polarization treatment without providing complete energy accounting or comparing claimed improvements to thermodynamic limits. While the basic concept of thermoelectric generation from a thermal gradient is physically valid, the enhancement mechanism is poorly explained and lacks quantitative validation.
Thermal energy from the cooking pot body during cooking, converted to electricity via thermoelectric generators (TEGs). The system also includes a rechargeable battery for energy storage.
The device uses thermoelectric generators to convert waste heat from a cooking pot into electricity to power a temperature display/timer. While physically possible, the 'self-powered' claim is misleading as it depends entirely on external cooking heat and likely harvests less energy than the electronics consume, requiring battery backup. It's an energy recovery system, not a violation of thermodynamics, but its presentation is questionable.
Electrical input to cooling unit, fans, and control system; ambient thermal energy from data center waste heat; mechanical cooling via compressor-based system.
The patent describes a data center cooling system with heat recovery, which is physically plausible. However, Claim 6 introduces a thermoelectric generator within the heat recovery unit, creating ambiguity about net energy flow. Without quantitative limits or a complete energy balance, the system risks implying over-unity performance by obscuring the input energy required to drive the heat recovery and conversion processes.
Primary energy from grid power to backup power source, with claimed recovery of waste heat from backup source via thermoelectric generation (Seebeck effect) to feed back into grid or communication station loads.
The patent describes a control system for a backup power source that uses thermoelectric modules to convert waste heat into electricity, which is then stored and fed back to the grid.

Ambient thermal gradient between two temperature regions (hot side and cold side), potentially supplemented by electrical input to thermoelectric conversion elements
The patent describes a complex thermoelectric module structure with multiple electrodes and sheets arranged between hot and cold regions, but provides no quantitative performance data or clear energy accounting. While it may function as a standard thermoelectric generator harvesting ambient thermal gradients, the overly complex description and lack of clear input/output specifications raise red flags about possible obfuscation of thermodynamic limits.

The device is a thermoelectric generator powered by a fire, which is physically valid. However, the patent's framing presents it as a novel multi-functional solution that 'solves' outdoor survival needs, implicitly suggesting it produces useful electrical work 'for free' from the temperature difference while also providing hot water. This obscures the fact that all useful outputs (electricity and heated water) originate from the chemical energy of the fuel in the fire, and the TEG's efficiency is very low.
External heating from the kiln (tunnel kiln) provides thermal energy. An electromagnetic iron (electromagnet) and temperature difference power generation chip (thermoelectric generator) appear to provide control energy for adjusting spacing between refractory bricks.
The patent describes a system for adjusting spacing between refractory bricks during kiln drying using temperature-dependent mechanical adjustments. While no explicit energy conservation violation is claimed, the description lacks crucial details about energy inputs, conversion efficiencies, and how the automatic adjustment system maintains operation without external power beyond the initial thermal gradient.
Ambient thermal energy (waste hydrogen cooling capacity) converted via thermoelectric generators, with electrical output used to reduce hydrogen evaporation losses in storage.
The system attempts to use waste hydrogen cooling capacity for thermoelectric generation to power evaporation reduction, but the description lacks quantitative energy balances and obscures the substantial parasitic power requirements of compressors, pumps, and valves. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, the claims of 'low evaporation rate' and extended storage without clear net energy accounting make the overall efficiency claims questionable.
Ambient sunlight (concentrated by lenses onto thermoelectric generators) and possibly mechanical movement of sliding components. The system appears to be a hybrid solar-thermoelectric window with moving parts.
The patent describes a complex window structure with lenses focusing sunlight onto thermoelectric generators and moving parts.

Thermal gradient between mine ventilation air and circulating water, harvested via thermoelectric generator (TEG). The system also includes a battery for energy storage and a buck-boost converter for power management.
The device uses a valid principle (thermoelectric generation from a mine's thermal gradient) but makes exaggerated efficiency and energy-saving claims without the required thermodynamic analysis. The patent obscures whether the system's electrical output can truly power all its components (sensors, comms, controller) net of any energy needed to maintain the circulating water flow, making its overall energy balance unclear and questionable.
Ambient heat from the space to be cooled (via refrigerant) plus electrical input for compressor and fans. The system attempts to use waste heat from the cooling load to pre-cool incoming refrigerant.
The patent describes a complex refrigerant recovery system that uses heat exchangers and a semiconductor cooler to pre-cool refrigerant before the compressor.

The patent describes a humidity-based electricity generation device that claims to work in natural environments by spontaneously forming humidity gradients. While humidity gradients can theoretically generate power (like hydrovoltaic effects), the claims of 'stable electrical output anytime, anywhere' without maintaining the gradient or quantifying energy inputs versus outputs suggests incomplete energy accounting. The technical description focuses on material preparation while making vague performance claims that require thermodynamic scrutiny.
Waste heat from high-voltage isolation switch operation, converted to electricity via thermoelectric generator (TEG).
The device harvests waste heat from switches using thermoelectric generators, which is physically possible, but the patent language suggests perpetual 'self-powered' operation without rigorous energy balance analysis. The claims use legitimate energy harvesting components but obfuscate whether the harvested energy can truly sustain continuous wireless transmission without supplemental power.

This patent describes a chemical composition for a heat exchange medium, not a complete energy device. While the material synthesis itself doesn't violate thermodynamics, the abstract makes vague performance claims ('improves heat exchange efficiency') without specifying a thermodynamic context or providing measurable efficiency data, falling under technical obfuscation. The claims are chemically detailed but physically ambiguous.
Ambient chemical energy from unspecified 'substrates' (likely hydrogen peroxide or similar) reacting with noble metal nanoparticles (Pt, Pd, Au) to produce gas bubbles. The device appears to be a hollow micro/nanomotor with catalytic inner/outer surfaces.
The device is likely a catalytic micro/nanomotor, a known research concept where bubbles from a chemical reaction (e.g., H2O2 decomposition on Pt) provide propulsion. The patent fails to explicitly identify and account for the chemical fuel, making energy analysis impossible. While not a fundamental violation, the incomplete description and vague performance claims are highly questionable.
The patent describes a heat exchange medium (a mixture of CO2, ammonia, and a pre-mixed solution) for use in low-temperature waste heat power generation systems. The energy source is presumably external waste heat from an industrial process or similar, which drives a thermodynamic cycle using this medium.
The patent describes a novel heat exchange fluid composition and preparation method. While the preparation involves significant energy input (heating, pressurization, mixing), the core claims about the fluid's properties enhancing system efficiency are technically vague and lack the quantitative rigor needed to assess thermodynamic validity. It uses correct-sounding terminology ('supercritical', 'heat exchange efficiency') in a context that obscures rather than clarifies the actual energy accounting and performance limits.
Ambient thermal and humidity gradients (hot, humid air from mining face) plus electrical input for local ventilation fan and water pump. System claims to use thermoelectric generation from temperature difference between hot air and cool liquid.
This patent describes a complex system combining ventilation, thermoelectric generation, and dehumidification for mining applications. While individual components are physically possible, the overall description suggests energy recycling without complete accounting of all inputs (especially electrical power for fans and pumps). The lack of quantitative performance claims and the implied circular energy flow make it questionable rather than definitively violating conservation laws.

This electricity, along with stored excess from batteries, powers thermoelectric heating/cooling modules for cabin temperature control.
The system describes a real but likely inefficient energy recovery loop. It harvests waste heat to generate electricity, then uses that electricity to power thermoelectric HVAC units. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, the claims of improved efficiency and energy savings are questionable without full-cycle efficiency numbers, as the secondary conversions (TEG and Peltier) are inherently low-efficiency processes. The patent obscures the likely net energy loss by focusing on energy recycling rather than overall system efficiency.
Ambient energy harvesting from three sources: photovoltaic (light), thermoelectric (thermal gradient), and radio frequency (RF) energy. Energy is stored in capacitors and managed by a control circuit.
The patent describes a multi-source ambient energy harvester, which is physically possible in principle. However, the vague, aggregated claims and lack of quantitative performance data prevent a clear verification of energy conservation. The language suggests potential over-unity implications without explicitly claiming it, placing it in the 'questionable' category requiring significant scrutiny.

The device appears to combine legitimate principles (thermoelectric generation, radiative cooling, solar thermal collection) but makes vague, overarching claims about 'converting low-grade to high-grade energy' and 'high-efficiency utilization' without providing efficiency calculations or acknowledging the fundamental thermodynamic limits of each subsystem. While not an explicit violation, the presentation suggests performance beyond simple component addition without justification.
Ambient heat (industrial waste heat) converted via thermoelectric generators, with mechanical rotation assistance from an electric motor.
The system uses thermoelectric generators to convert industrial waste heat to electricity, but includes an electric motor to rotate and position the heat collectors. This creates a circular dependency where electricity is used to potentially generate more electricity without clear accounting of the net energy balance. The patent describes mechanical arrangements but avoids quantitative claims about energy output versus input.

The device combines wind turbine, solar panels on blades, thermoelectric generators using shallow ground temperature differences, and unspecified 'pressure energy' conversion.
The patent describes a multi-harvester device combining legitimate technologies (wind, solar, thermoelectric), but includes unexplained 'pressure energy' conversion and implies continuous operation from ambient gradients alone without energy storage. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, it uses technically vague terms and incomplete energy accounting that obscures how it would provide reliable power during no-wind/no-sun conditions.
Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) converting temperature differences between vehicle components (battery, engine, windows) and ambient into electrical power
The system uses thermoelectric generators as a power source, making 'no power source' misleading. While thermoelectric harvesting is physically valid, the claims exaggerate capability by ignoring that TEGs require maintained temperature gradients and produce very low power, likely insufficient for continuous MCU operation and emergency response.
Ambient thermal energy from high-temperature exhaust gas (waste heat) converted via thermoelectric generator (TEG). The system appears to use this electricity to power detection/alarm components and possibly drive a mechanical system (blowers/fans).
The device appears to be a leak detector for heat exchangers that uses a thermoelectric generator (TEG) to harvest waste heat from exhaust gas to power itself.

Sunlight (illumination zone) causing contraction of liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) fibers, creating mechanical imbalance that rotates a central disk.
The device appears to convert light to mechanical motion via photoresponsive materials, which is physically possible, but the patent description lacks complete energy accounting, fails to address how restoring forces are powered, and uses vague claims about 'continuous rotation' without quantifying input/output energy or acknowledging thermodynamic limits for light-to-mechanical conversion.
Ambient thermal energy (temperature difference between building surface and environment) and stored solar energy in phase change material (PCM). The PCM releases stored solar energy when ambient temperature drops below its phase change temperature.
The device appears to be a thermoelectric generator with phase-change thermal storage, which is physically possible but the claims are vague about power output, efficiency, and the finite nature of stored energy. The description suggests continuous operation without clear accounting for how the PCM is recharged or the actual temperature differences available, making it questionable rather than clearly violating physics.
Solar radiation (primary) with unclear additional energy inputs from 'working medium' circulation and thermal management systems
The device appears to be a deployable solar panel system with concentrators and tracking, which is physically valid, but makes ambiguous claims about efficiency enhancement through reflection and working media without clear energy accounting. The description suggests possible confusion between concentration effects and actual conversion efficiency improvements.
Daytime: Solar thermal energy absorbed by coating heats the base plate, creating hot side for thermoelectric generator. Nighttime: Claims radiative cooling layer creates cold side below ambient temperature, allowing ambient heat to flow through thermoelectric generator.
The daytime solar thermal operation is physically valid, but the claimed nighttime operation is thermodynamically questionable. Radiative cooling can create temperatures below ambient, but extracting net electrical work from ambient heat flow through a thermoelectric generator at night would violate the second law unless properly accounting for all energy flows and temperature gradients.
Thermal energy from hot vehicle exhaust gas, converted to electricity via thermoelectric generators (TEGs). This electricity powers active flow control actuators (synthetic jet actuators).
The patent describes a system that uses thermoelectric generators to convert exhaust heat to electricity, which then powers active flow control devices to reduce aerodynamic drag. While the individual components are physically possible, the overall claim of a self-sufficient system that provides net energy benefit without additional input is questionable due to incomplete energy accounting and the likely low efficiency of the waste heat recovery versus the high power needs of effective drag reduction.
Thermal energy from brake component heat (via installation framework) converted to electricity by thermoelectric generator (TEG). This electricity powers sensor circuits and data transmission.
The system appears to be a thermoelectric energy harvester for brake wear sensors. While thermoelectric generation from brake heat is physically valid, the patent description is ambiguous about the complete energy cycle. It raises questions about whether the system can truly be self-powered solely from the harvested waste heat given TEG inefficiencies and sensor power requirements, but does not explicitly claim perpetual motion or over-unity output.
Ambient air heated by the dehumidifier's waste heat, creating a temperature gradient for thermoelectric generation (Seebeck effect). The primary energy input is electrical power to run the dehumidifier fan/compressor.
The device attempts to recover waste heat from a dehumidifier using thermoelectric generators, which is physically possible but thermodynamically inefficient. The core issue is incomplete accounting: the energy cost of creating and maintaining the temperature gradient across the thermoelectric modules is likely greater than the electricity they produce, resulting in a net energy loss for the overall system.
Primarily electrical input to the heating device, with claimed additional electricity generation from the temperature difference between the heating device and the water outlet structure using a thermoelectric generator (TEG).
The device is a washing machine with a heater and a thermoelectric generator (TEG) placed between the heater and a water outlet. While thermoelectric generation from a temperature gradient is physically valid, the claimed benefit of 'reducing heat loss and improving energy utilization rate' is misleading. The electricity generated by the TEG comes at the direct expense of the heat flow intended for water heating, making it an inefficient energy conversion step, not a net improvement in overall system efficiency.
Transformer waste heat (primary input), with unspecified electrical/mechanical energy required to operate pumps, compressors, and control systems.
The system describes a cascade that recovers transformer waste heat using a heat pump, generates electricity via thermoelectrics, and uses residual heat for supply—a plausible waste heat recovery concept. However, the patent language avoids quantifying energy inputs and outputs, uses efficiency buzzwords without thermodynamic limits, and structures the claims in a way that could imply energy multiplication, making it questionable without a complete energy balance.
Unclear. Claims involve generating electricity from a pH difference between two electrolyte solutions (acidic and basic) using metal electrodes, but the origin of the sustained pH gradient and the complete energy input pathway are not specified.
The patent describes a device that generates electricity from a pH difference between two electrolytes. While a pH difference can indeed produce electrical work in a galvanic cell, the claims do not account for the energy required to create or maintain that pH gradient. Without this, the system appears to extract net work from an unexplained, potentially perpetual, concentration difference, raising fundamental thermodynamic concerns.

Body heat (thermal gradient between skin and ambient) via thermoelectric generator, plus possible external charging via charging port
The device uses a thermoelectric generator to convert body heat to electricity, which is physically possible but extremely inefficient at skin-ambient temperature differences. The patent implies this can meaningfully charge the device during use, but lacks quantitative analysis of power balance, making the feasibility of sustained operation without external charging highly questionable.
Ambient thermal energy (heat) is stated as the input, but the specific thermal gradient or mechanism to maintain it is not described.

Solar thermal energy (via photovoltaic/thermal collector) is the primary input. The system attempts to use waste heat recovery and a thermoelectric generator in a combined cycle.
The system's primary energy source is solar thermal, which is valid. However, the described integration of a refrigeration cycle and a thermoelectric generator lacks a clear accounting of the compressor work input.

The device is primarily a disinfection machine using a refrigeration cycle to dry air. However, its integration of a thermoelectric generator to harvest internal waste heat for electricity generation, potentially to power its own components, suggests an incomplete energy balance and risks implying a perpetual motion scheme if not carefully bounded. The physics of thermoelectric generation from internally created gradients is valid only if the generated power is an additional loss, not a net source for the system.

Ambient heat from the heat source body via the phase change chamber, with electrical input to the micropump powered by thermoelectric generators (TEGs) that themselves harvest energy from the temperature gradient across the device.
The device is a complex heat sink using phase change and a micropump. The primary issue is that the pump is powered by thermoelectric generators harvesting energy from the device's own temperature gradient, creating a potentially circular energy flow.

Thermal gradient between a heat source and the environment, converted to electricity via thermoelectric generators. The electricity is then used to power semiconductor cooling (Peltier) devices.
The device combines thermoelectric generation and Peltier cooling in a loop. While each component is physically valid, the abstract suggests the system uses generated electricity to power its own cooling, replacing an external power source. Without rigorous separation of the heat source input and the cooling output, this risks creating an implied perpetual cooling system that violates energy conservation by obscuring the net energy flow.
Primary energy source appears to be solar thermal energy collected by the parabolic trough (1). The system also uses a metal hydride reaction chamber (3) and a high-pressure hydrogen storage tank (13) in a closed-loop hydrogen circulation system. A thermoelectric generator (2) may harvest additional energy from temperature gradients.
The device combines solar thermal collection with a metal hydride hydrogen storage loop. While individual components are physically possible, the patent description lacks a complete energy balance.

The patent describes a structural configuration for a piezoelectric elastomer actuator with specific electrode arrangements, but provides no information about energy inputs, outputs, or conversion efficiency. While the structure itself doesn't explicitly violate physics laws, the complete absence of energy accounting and performance metrics makes it impossible to evaluate thermodynamic validity.

Ambient thermal gradient between moxibustion chamber and incoming air (thermoelectric generation), plus stored electrical energy in battery for ventilation fan.
The device is primarily a moxibustion apparatus with a ventilation fan. Its questionable aspect is the claim of using a thermoelectric generator (TEG) powered by the temperature difference between the combustion chamber and its air intake to charge a battery that then powers the fan.

Unclear. The title and abstract, when translated from Korean, refer to 'energy amplification device and energy amplification method using ambient temperature'. This suggests the claimed energy source is ambient/thermal energy from the environment.
The claim of an 'energy amplification device using ambient temperature' is highly suspect because it implies getting more work out than put in, without a clear, sustained thermal gradient to drive the process. While ambient heat is a valid energy source (like in a heat engine), extracting net work from a single-temperature reservoir violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Unclear. The text describes a system with a 'power supply unit' (가압부재) providing input to a 'reaction unit' (상기 전해액), which generates a 'first electrode' (제1전극). This first electrode then somehow drives the creation of a 'second electrode' (제2전극) via a 'photocatalytic material' (변형방지층, TiO2). The system claims to transfer energy from the first to the second electrode, creating a 'high-efficiency power generation device' (전기화학 기반 에너지 하베스터). The ultimate energy source appears to be the initial electrical input, but the description of energy transfer and multiplication between electrodes is ambiguous.
The patent describes a complex multi-electrode system with photocatalytic elements but fails to provide a complete energy balance. It uses correct technical terms (electrodes, photocatalytic material, TiO2, LixSi) in a vague configuration that suggests internal energy amplification without identifying an external energy source to compensate for losses, making it impossible to verify compliance with conservation laws.

The patent describes an air conditioner with thermoelectric generators (TEGs) placed to capture waste heat from its own internal electronics. While capturing waste heat for auxiliary power is physically possible, the claims of improved system efficiency are questionable because the primary energy source for creating the heat is the grid power itself. The system cannot produce more useful electrical energy from the TEGs than was originally drawn from the grid to heat the components, making significant net efficiency gains unlikely due to conversion losses.
Ambient solar radiation (heating TEG hot side) and ambient wind/airflow (driving PEG piezoelectric vibration). Both are legitimate environmental energy sources.
The device combines two legitimate energy harvesters (TEG for solar-thermal and PEG for wind/vibration), so no fundamental law violation is explicitly claimed.

Solar radiation (photovoltaic cells) and thermal gradient (thermoelectric generators using heat pipe conduction)
The system combines photovoltaic cells and thermoelectric generators using heat pipes, which is physically possible, but the patent description lacks clear energy accounting and quantitative performance claims.

Thermal gradient between hot and cold modules (thermoelectric/Seebeck effect), with no external power input described.
This appears to be a complex thermoelectric generator arrangement claiming higher efficiency without traditional limitations. While thermoelectric conversion is valid physics, the claims of escaping fundamental thermoelectric constraints and the convoluted design suggest either incomplete accounting of energy inputs or an attempt to create apparent over-unity through circuit complexity.
Thermoelectric generator (TEG) harvesting waste heat from hot water pipes, with energy storage module for excess power
The system uses a thermoelectric generator to harvest waste heat from hot water pipes, which is physically valid. However, the patent's 'self-powered' claim is questionable because it doesn't provide quantitative analysis to prove the harvested energy exceeds the total consumption of the control module, sensors, and wireless transmitter under realistic operating conditions.
Unclear. The device appears to be a thermoelectric (semiconductor) system that claims to simultaneously generate electricity, provide cooling, and provide heating.

While such a system is physically possible (e.g., a Peltier cooler/heat pump that also acts as a thermoelectric generator from waste heat), the claims are vague, lack quantitative performance data, and use obfuscating language about 'mutual conversion' that raises red flags for incomplete energy accounting. Without clear measurements showing total input ≥ total output, it cannot be validated.
Claimed to be 'skin electricity' - presumably the small electrical potentials (millivolt range) generated by biological processes at the skin surface (electrostatic, bioelectric, or galvanic skin response). No external power source mentioned.
The patent describes harvesting 'skin electricity' to power wearable devices, but provides no quantitative data or clear physical mechanism. While skin potentials exist (millivolts, microamperes), the claims lack complete energy accounting and ignore whether net usable power can be extracted after circuit losses, making the feasibility unclear without violating thermodynamics.
Unclear. The device appears to be a piezoelectric actuator arrangement where deformation changes distances between electrodes, suggesting electrical input might drive piezoelectric elements to create mechanical displacement, but no explicit energy input mechanism is described.
The patent describes a piezoelectric-like transducer arrangement but fails to specify the energy input mechanism or quantify any energy conversion process. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, the vague description and lack of energy accounting make it impossible to verify thermodynamic compliance. The technical language appears to obfuscate rather than clarify the actual energy pathway.

The patent describes a smart temperature control system for an electric cooking pot that uses thermoelectric modules, powered by the pot's own waste heat, to run sensors and wireless transmitters. While the individual physics principles (Seebeck effect, feedback control) are valid, the overall presentation as a 'no-source' system is misleading, as the primary heating energy comes from the grid, and the thermoelectric harvest likely only supplements secondary electronics, not the main heating load. The claims obfuscate the net energy balance.
Ambient energy from plant metabolic processes (photosynthesis/respiration) converted to electrical energy via electrodes in growth medium, plus possible external electrical input to the 'negative ion generator' circuit.
The device appears to harvest bioelectricity from plants in a Hoagland solution, which is physically possible but produces minuscule power. The questionable claim is that this can efficiently power a 'negative ion generator' without clear accounting of whether the plant output alone suffices or if external energy is needed, creating ambiguity about net energy production.
Unclear. The device appears to be a thermoelectric element (10) made of 'thermoelectric active material' placed in an enclosed space (3) between two walls (4a, 4b) with electrical connections (9a, 9b).

Primary: Chemical fuel in internal combustion engine. Secondary claimed source: Thermoelectric generation from engine waste heat and exhaust heat recovery.
The system describes a hybrid vehicle with a thermoelectric generator recovering waste heat from the engine and exhaust.

Ambient energy harvesting from unspecified sources (piezoelectric, triboelectric, RF, etc.) via a primary harvester (Harvester 1). The system claims to use a portion of this harvested energy to power a secondary harvester (Harvester 2) and a control circuit (SECE), creating a feedback loop.
The patent describes an energy harvesting system with a feedback loop that appears designed to be self-sustaining or self-amplifying. While it identifies ambient energy as the ultimate source, the described internal energy flow and control mechanisms are vague and lack the rigorous power accounting needed to prove compliance with the first law of thermodynamics. The architecture raises strong red flags for incomplete energy accounting.

Ambient thermal gradient (temperature difference) via thermoelectric generator (TEG) modules, supplemented by a rechargeable lithium battery that appears to be charged by the TEG output.
The device is primarily a wood stove with thermoelectric generators to recover waste heat as electricity. However, the patent's description of a 'high-efficiency wide-temperature intelligent heating stove' suggests a feedback loop where generated electricity powers system components, creating risk of implied over-unity if all energy inputs (chemical energy in fuel) are not properly accounted for.

However, the design uses part of the generated electricity to reheat the coolant, directly degrading the temperature gradient needed for power generation. This creates a circular energy path that obscures the net efficiency, making the claimed dual benefit of power generation and improved dehumidification efficiency highly questionable without a complete, system-wide energy balance.

The claimed 'superadiabatic combustion' suggests it may be harvesting chemical energy from combustion, but this is ambiguous.
The patent describes a thermoelectric generator using a temperature gradient. However, it fails to account for the primary energy input required to sustain the 'combustion' on the hot side and the work input for the cooling system on the cold side.

However, the description lacks quantitative energy accounting, makes vague claims about synergistic effects without clear physics justification, and obscures the actual energy conversion efficiency and loss mechanisms, making proper thermodynamic evaluation impossible.
Unclear. The patent describes a multi-layer structure (electroactive polymer + vapor-deposited inorganic material) that generates electrical energy from ambient temperature differences and humidity gradients. It implies energy harvesting from environmental gradients without specifying a clear, quantified input power source.
The described device appears to be a complex multi-material structure intended to harvest energy from ambient temperature and humidity gradients. While such energy harvesting is thermodynamically possible, the patent lacks rigorous energy accounting and quantitative performance claims relative to known limits, placing it in the 'questionable' category requiring significant technical scrutiny.
Primary energy comes from fuel combustion in the diesel engine. The system attempts to recover waste heat from exhaust gases using a thermoelectric generator (TEG) and an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) heat exchanger. The TEG's cold side is cooled by a closed-loop air cycle, which is itself pre-heated by the TEG's waste heat.
The system is a complex waste heat recovery system for a diesel engine. While its individual components are physically possible, the overall description suggests circular energy flows where waste heat is used to improve the efficiency of the recovery device itself, without a clear accounting for the energy needed to drive the recovery cycle. This makes the net efficiency claims questionable without a detailed energy balance.
Diesel engine chemical energy (fuel) with claimed waste heat recovery from multiple sources: exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), exhaust gas, cooling water, and pressurized air. The system attempts to convert waste heat into electricity via thermoelectric generators and steam turbines in two cascaded organic Rankine cycles (high and low temperature).
The system describes an extremely complex multi-stage waste heat recovery system for a diesel engine. While such systems are physically possible, the language suggests unrealistic near-total heat recovery and obfuscates the net energy balance. Without quantitative performance claims, it cannot be ruled a clear violation, but it exhibits strong patterns of thermodynamic over-claim and obfuscation.
Waste heat from subway systems (train motors, lighting, passengers, etc.) collected via heat exchanger on train roof, transported through ducts to thermoelectric generators using temperature differential between collected heat and external environment.
The system appears to be a legitimate waste heat recovery concept using thermoelectric generators, but the description contains problematic language suggesting 'full recovery' of waste heat and conversion to electricity, which violates thermodynamic efficiency limits. While thermoelectric generation from temperature gradients is physically valid, the abstract makes exaggerated claims about complete heat recovery without acknowledging the substantial energy losses inherent in such conversions.
Unclear. The patent describes an 'accumulator element' with conductive sheets, elastic dielectric layers, and carbon nanotube-containing electrode layers, but provides no explicit energy input mechanism or conversion process.
This patent describes a material/structure (layered sheets with carbon nanotubes in an elastic dielectric) but claims it functions as an 'accumulator element' with 'large recovery force' without explaining the energy source or conversion process. While the material itself may have interesting mechanical/electrical properties, the energy-related claims are vague and lack the physics necessary to evaluate energy input/output.
Ambient humidity gradient or liquid water contact, possibly via adsorption/desorption of water molecules on material surfaces.
The patent describes a real physical phenomenon (charge separation via humidity changes) but frames it as a novel electricity generation/capture method without accounting for the energy required to create the humidity variations or circulate gases. This makes it impossible to assess efficiency or determine if it claims output greater than the total thermodynamic input.
Unclear. The title 'UV-Frequenz-Konditionierer' (UV Frequency Conditioner) and description as a 'Bezeichneter Armreif' (designated bracelet) suggest it may claim to use ambient ultraviolet light or other environmental energy, but no explicit input is defined.
The claim provides insufficient technical detail for proper energy accounting or thermodynamic analysis. The use of physics-related terms ('UV frequency', 'conditioner') without a clear mechanism, input, or output suggests technical obfuscation, making it impossible to verify compliance with conservation laws.
Electrical energy from two DC voltage generators (Vg, Vsd) applied to a capacitive element and a suspension electrode. The device appears to convert this DC input into mechanical oscillation and then into AC current.
The device uses two DC voltage sources as its clear energy input, so it is not a perpetual motion machine. However, the patent language describing 'spontaneous oscillation' is physically incomplete and questionable, as it does not adequately explain the energy conversion pathway from the DC bias to sustained mechanical oscillation and AC generation against inherent damping forces.
Unclear. The text describes a 'molecular motor' or 'molecular engine' (분자모터) that uses a 'specific molecular structure' (생체 고분자) and a 'moiety' of another molecule to generate motion or work. It mentions an 'external stimulus' (물리화학적 환경 변화) like pH, light, or electric field as a trigger, but the complete energy accounting is not specified.
The patent describes a molecular engine triggered by an external stimulus, but fails to provide a complete energy balance. It is unclear if the stimulus provides all the energy for the work output or merely triggers a release of pre-stored chemical energy. The vague, non-quantitative claims and heavy reliance on structural terminology without a clear energy transduction pathway make it questionable from a physics compliance perspective.
Unclear. The device appears to be an actuator using elastic deformation materials between electrodes, but no explicit energy input mechanism is described. Energy likely comes from electrical input to the electrodes, but the text suggests deformation occurs without electrical restriction.
The patent describes an actuator using elastic deformation materials between electrodes with special surface treatments, but fails to specify the energy source for the claimed deformation and electrode formation. The language suggests deformation occurs without electrical restriction while simultaneously forming useful electrical structures, which raises thermodynamic concerns about energy conservation in the described process.
Electrical input to primary coils (explicit). No ambient or environmental energy source is described. The system appears to be a multi-primary transformer configuration.
The patent describes a multi-primary transformer configuration. While the basic setup is physically possible, the abstract's core claim—that the secondary's induced field does not oppose one of the driving primary fields—directly violates Lenz's Law, a consequence of energy conservation. Without this opposition, the device could not maintain equilibrium between input and output power.
Unclear. Claims involve electroactive polypropylene actuators moving in electrolytic solution with applied voltage, suggesting electrical input energy, but overall energy accounting is incomplete.
The patent describes conductive molecular actuators in an electrolyte, but provides no complete energy balance or efficiency calculations. The technical description is vague and uses specialized terminology without clear physical limits, making it impossible to verify compliance with thermodynamics.
Electrical input to the actuator via electrochemical expansion/contraction of conductive polymer (dielectric elastomer) when voltage is applied.
The patent describes an actuator structure using conductive polymers and electrolytes, but makes no claims about output exceeding input or violating conservation laws. However, it completely lacks any energy accounting or efficiency analysis, using technical terminology to describe materials and geometry while obscuring the fundamental physics of the energy conversion process.
Unclear. Claims suggest electrical input to conductive supports creates electric fields that cause 'electrochemical extension/contraction' in a moving part containing high dielectric molecules. No primary energy source specified beyond applied voltage.
The patent describes a motion mechanism using dielectric materials and electrical stimulation but fails to provide complete energy accounting or specify the fundamental energy conversion process. The vague description of 'electrochemical extension operation' and lack of efficiency claims or thermodynamic analysis makes it impossible to verify compliance with conservation laws, though no explicit perpetual motion claims are made.
Ambient electromagnetic waves (unspecified frequency/type). The device is a passive structure of alternating conductive and non-conductive layers with matching surface contours, presumably intended to capture wave energy.
The patent describes only a physical structure, not an energy conversion process. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, it makes vague functional claims ('receive, send, and/or store energy of waves') without specifying the energy source, conversion mechanism, or performance, placing it in the questionable category requiring significant technical clarification.
Unclear. Claims suggest energy is extracted from temperature changes in a spin-rearranged material coupled to a permanent magnet, implying conversion of thermal energy or magnetic energy into motion without a clear external input.
The patent describes a device where temperature changes in a spin-rearranged material alter a magnetic field, causing a movable body to move. This is presented as a novel 'actuator' but fails to account for the energy required to create the temperature cycle. The description uses technical terms (spin rearrangement, magnetic field change) but is vague on quantitative performance and energy inputs, making it thermodynamically questionable.
Unclear. The device appears to be a small balloon or airship with an ion wind propulsion system, suggesting electrical input powers the ion generation. However, the abstract and claims are too vague to determine if ambient energy harvesting (e.g., solar, thermal gradient) is claimed or if a complete energy budget is provided.
The patent describes a space-movement type lighting device using ion wind propulsion on a small balloon, but the description is vague and lacks a complete energy analysis. While ion thrusters are physically possible, the claims are obfuscated by unclear Japanese patent text and missing quantitative performance data, making proper thermodynamic assessment impossible without more details.
Ambient thermal gradient (via thermoelectric elements) combined with chemical energy from a burner (combustion). The system appears to use thermoelectric generators (TEGs) to produce electricity from a temperature difference, which then powers a fan.
The patent describes a hybrid heating system using thermoelectric elements and a burner. While thermoelectric generation from a temperature gradient is physically valid, the description mixes this with combustion energy in a way that obscures the primary energy accounting. The system's useful work (fan, heating) likely derives overwhelmingly from fuel combustion, not ambient energy harvesting, making its novelty and net benefit questionable without clear efficiency data.
Ambient heat and chemical potential gradients (osmotic pressure, absorption differences). The device appears to be a type of osmotic/concentration cell, possibly using vapor transport through membranes, driven by thermal gradients.
The patent describes a system using osmotic/concentration cells and vapor expansion to convert ambient heat into usable work and electricity. While osmotic power is a real phenomenon, the claims of continuous operation using only ambient heat, without a maintained gradient or clear entropy export, suggest a thermodynamic violation. The description is too vague to confirm a valid heat engine cycle, leaning toward a perpetual motion scheme of the second kind.
High-voltage DC electrical input, which powers corona discharge (ion flow) from sharp points. The rotational motion is claimed to be produced 'solely by the electrical influence of flowing ions' on dielectric bodies.
The device is likely a variant of an electrostatic motor or ionocraft, which consumes electrical energy to create ions and an electric wind that imparts momentum to a rotor. While not inherently a perpetual motion machine, the patent language obscures the complete energy balance and makes claims about performance enhancement that are physically vague, placing it in the 'questionable' category pending a rigorous test against the first law of thermodynamics.
Thermal energy from superheated steam or hot gases (water vapor or other non-conductive vapors/gases). The patent describes using this heated fluid as the working medium introduced into an insulated container.
The patent claim describes a method but omits the origin of the primary energy input (the fuel or heat source to create the steam) and the specific physical conversion process. While using a temperature gradient to generate electricity is physically possible (e.g., via a heat engine), the claim's vagueness and lack of a complete energy accounting make its feasibility and efficiency impossible to evaluate, placing it in the 'questionable' category.
Thermal energy from steam condensation process, possibly with ambient thermal gradients (hot steam vs. cold chamber). Mechanical energy to rotate the nozzle and conductors is not specified.
The patent describes generating electricity from steam condensation, a real but very weak electrostatic phenomenon. The claim of a 'continuous and constant current' for power transmission suggests an output vastly exceeding what the described physics can provide, as it ignores the major energy inputs required to create and maintain the steam and temperature gradient. The energy accounting is incomplete, making the claimed performance highly questionable.
Heat input applied to one heat exchanger, with heat extracted from the other. The system appears to be a thermoacoustic engine or heat pump, where the primary energy input is thermal energy applied to the 'hot' exchanger.
The device describes a thermoacoustic system which is a physically valid concept, using a temperature gradient to generate or amplify acoustic waves. However, the patent claims are vague on complete energy accounting, especially regarding the net work required to sustain oscillations or the thermodynamic efficiency limits of the heat-to-work conversion, placing it in the 'questionable' category until these are clarified.
Ambient energy (unspecified) transduced via a ferroelectric semiconductor junction between conductors with different free electron concentrations.
The patent describes a manufacturing method but does not specify the physical source of the ambient energy or how a net power output is generated without an explicit gradient, making its energy accounting incomplete. While the device structure is plausible for a sensor or capacitor, its promotion as an 'ambient energy converter' with unspecified physics is questionable.
Electrical input to the wires to generate the time-varying currents.
The system describes a specific electrical timing but provides no physical mechanism for generating net electromagnetic thrust. While it does not explicitly violate energy conservation, it implies a propellantless propulsion effect without identifying how momentum is conserved, making it highly questionable and incomplete.
Primary energy input is electrical power to the light source (e.g., LED). In the radioactive variant, the energy source is the decay energy of the radioactive material.
The system does not violate conservation laws, as the energy source is clearly identified. However, it is thermodynamically questionable as a practical 'energy storage' device due to extremely low round-trip efficiency from cumulative conversion losses. The claims are technically possible but physically misleading.
Unclear. The device appears to be a glow discharge tube (like a cold cathode tube) which requires an external high voltage to initiate and sustain the discharge. The patent text vaguely implies it functions as a 'power cell' or 'efficient charger generator' without specifying the primary energy input.
The device described is a standard glow discharge tube, which consumes significant electrical power to ionize the low-pressure gas. The patent's framing as an 'efficient charger generator' or 'power cell' is highly misleading, as it omits the essential external energy input required for operation, creating a risk of perpetual motion misinterpretation.
Electrical input to the stator windings (implied), plus potential magnetic energy from permanent magnets (stored). No ambient or novel energy source is described.
The patent describes a complex motor/generator geometry but provides no performance data or claim of over-unity. Its questionable nature stems from the obfuscating language and implication of a novel 'magnetic power' mechanism without a clear, physically valid principle that distinguishes it from a standard, lossy electromagnetic machine.
Electrical input from battery/capacitor system, converted to thermal energy in plasma via resistive/ohmic heating, then to mechanical work via pressure pulse.
The device appears to be a proposed electrical-to-thermal-to-mechanical engine. While not explicitly claiming over-unity, the vague physics of the pressure pulse and the suggestion of regenerative battery charging create a framework prone to misinterpretation and incomplete energy accounting, requiring significant scrutiny.
The primary energy inputs are electrical/thermal energy for the heaters (potentially from solar) and the chemical energy stored in the refined metal (magnesium) fuel. The system is a metal-air battery where seawater is the feedstock for producing the metal fuel.
This system is not a violation of conservation laws, but it is highly questionable as described. It is an extremely inefficient method for producing metal fuel (magnesium) from seawater using solar heat, then using that fuel in a battery. The net energy output would be a small fraction of the solar energy input, making it a very complex and lossy solar-to-electricity system, not a source of power from seawater itself.
The primary energy input is thermal energy from an external heat source, used to create a salinity gradient via thermal diffusion or other separation processes. The electrical or hydrogen output is derived from the controlled mixing of the created high and low concentration saline solutions.
The system describes a real thermodynamic cycle using heat to create a salinity gradient and then extracting work from mixing. However, the patent claims are vague on efficiency and do not account for the significant energy required for the separation step, making it unclear if the net output violates any laws. It is a complex heat engine whose viability depends on its efficiency relative to the Carnot limit applied to the entire cycle.
Ambient humidity gradient (water vapor chemical potential difference) between the environment and the interior of the nanowire film. The moisture gradient drives ion/charge transport.
The device likely harvests energy from water vapor adsorption, a real but small-scale phenomenon. However, the patent description is physically incomplete; it does not explain how the moisture gradient is maintained indefinitely to produce continuous power without the film reaching equilibrium, which raises second-law concerns. It is not an outright violation but requires significant scientific scrutiny.
Ambient thermal energy (implied) driving water splitting and ion transport via a catalytic asymmetry and temperature gradient.
The device appears to be a solid-state electrochemical cell that generates electricity from a difference in water-splitting reaction rates at two electrodes. However, the patent does not explicitly identify the external energy source (e.g., a thermal gradient or humidity difference) that drives the reactions and ion transport, making the energy accounting incomplete and the claims physically vague.
Geothermal fluid thermal energy, converted to electricity via an unspecified power cycle, which then powers steam generation and electrolysis.
The core concept of using geothermal heat for hydrogen production is physically sound, but the patent description is vague and mixes energy pathways inefficiently. The addition of an unexplained radioactive material for radiolysis introduces an unaccounted energy source, making the complete energy balance unclear and the system's claimed performance impossible to verify.
The system attempts to extract energy from the ocean's vertical thermal gradient via a buoyancy-driven vehicle. The primary energy source is the temperature difference between surface and deep water, which drives thermoelectric generators (TEGs) via a phase change material (PCM) that undergoes cyclic melting/freezing as the vehicle moves vertically. Buoyancy work to move the vehicle is also an input, ultimately derived from the same thermal gradient via the PCM's density change.
The core concept of using a thermal gradient for power is physically valid, but the patent description lacks critical details on the buoyancy control system's energy consumption. Without this, the net energy output cannot be determined, and it risks being a system where control energy exceeds generated energy. The multi-step energy conversion also suggests very low practical efficiency.
The primary energy input is thermal energy from an external heat source, used to create a salinity gradient via a thermal diffusion or separation process. The power generator (e.g., reverse electrodialysis) then extracts work from the Gibbs free energy of mixing of the created solutions.
The system uses heat to create a salinity gradient and then extracts power from mixing, but it fails to account for the fact that the work needed to create the gradient must be greater than or equal to the work extracted from destroying it. The closed-loop description is highly suspect without a clear, net-positive energy balance that respects the second law of thermodynamics.
Unclear. The description mentions 'harvesting energy' via a driven current, but the ultimate source is ambiguous. It could be the electrical input powering the current, or an implied ambient source like the quantum vacuum/thermal radiation within the cavity.
The patent describes a physical device structure but is vague on the operational principle. Claiming to 'harvest energy' from a current that is externally driven is a logical contradiction, suggesting the actual proposed energy source (like vacuum fluctuations) is unstated and its conversion is not rigorously accounted for against thermodynamic limits.
Electrical input from an unspecified power source (potentially a nuclear reactor per claims 4-5). The claimed thrust would be derived from electromagnetic interactions between the two wires.
The patent describes a system of two parallel wires with time-shifted currents. While the electrical energy input is clear, the claimed conversion to net thrust violates Newton's third law and the conservation of momentum, as all electromagnetic forces are internal action-reaction pairs. No external interaction or expelled momentum is described to produce a net force on the spacecraft.
Unclear from claims. Likely electrical input to heating element, converting to waste heat in fluid, then partially converted back to electricity via thermoelectric generator.
The described facility is thermodynamically valid only as a lossy converter, not a generator. It requires an external electrical input to the heating element, and the thermoelectric generator's output will always be less than that input due to the low conversion efficiency of thermoelectric devices. The claims omit the necessary input energy, making the system's purpose and net performance unclear.
Ambient humidity gradient (water vapor chemical potential difference between ambient air and the nanoporous material). The energy is extracted from the spontaneous adsorption/desorption of water molecules, which is driven by the existing humidity gradient.
The device likely harvests energy from the water vapor chemical potential in humid air, which is a real ambient energy source. However, the patent description is incomplete, failing to detail the full thermodynamic cycle or account for all energy inputs needed for continuous operation, making its net energy balance unclear.
Unclear. Possibly intended to harvest ambient electromagnetic energy (e.g., 50/60 Hz power-line fields, RF noise) or magnetic fields from the target via induction, but the claim only specifies placing a coil with a magnetic core on a metallic or human body surface.
The patent describes a coil assembly but fails to specify the source of time-varying magnetic flux required for energy harvesting. As written, it suggests power can be generated merely by placing the device on a surface, which violates Faraday's Law of induction unless an external varying field or target motion is present but unstated.
Kinetic energy of moving the superconductor relative to the magnetic surface (implicit mechanical input). The Meissner effect itself is not an energy source but a mechanism for altering magnetic field geometry.
The described device is essentially a magnetic induction generator where the Meissner effect creates a changing magnetic field. However, the energy to create that change comes from the mechanical work of moving the superconductor against strong magnetic forces, which is not accounted for. The claim is physically possible as an energy conversion device, but its presentation is questionable as it omits the required energy input.
The primary energy input appears to be an external actuator (e.g., a drive motor) that does work to stress a spring (biasing means), storing elastic potential energy. This stored spring energy is then transferred to accelerate the flywheel.
The apparatus is a complex mechanical energy storage system (spring + flywheel), not a source of energy. The actuator (e.g., motor) must supply all energy eventually output as electricity, minus inevitable losses from friction, hysteresis, and generator inefficiency. The patent's language is technically consistent but structured in a way that could misleadingly imply novel energy generation.
Electrical input from a battery (DC source) powers the electromagnet and control circuitry. The claimed mechanical work output comes from the magnetic attraction/repulsion between the electromagnet and permanent magnets.
The patent describes a solenoid/electromagnet-driven reciprocating engine. While the control circuitry is plausible, the energy accounting is incomplete. The system is fundamentally an electric motor with extra switching complexity; its net efficiency cannot exceed 100% as the battery is the sole true energy source.
Ambient wind kinetic energy (to transport ions) and an external electrical drive subsystem (to create the ions via corona discharge).
The system uses a powered emitter to create ions, and wind to transport them to a collector, generating a potential. While wind energy is a valid input, the patent does not account for the energy cost of ion creation versus the harvested output, leaving the net energy gain unproven and potentially negative.
Kinetic energy of a moving electrolytic fluid (e.g., river, ocean current). The proposed mechanism is conversion via 'streaming potential' at the solid-fluid interface of a PN junction or Schottky contact.
The claim describes a non-standard energy harvesting method that mixes concepts from different physical domains without establishing a coherent, testable mechanism. While the ultimate energy source (fluid kinetic energy) is valid, the proposed conversion method is physically vague and misapplies terminology, making its feasibility highly questionable without significantly more rigorous explanation and evidence.
Electrical power from an onboard power plant (e.g., reactor, solar panels) is converted into a rotating magnetic/electromagnetic vortex field within a conduit.
The system describes using power to create a magnetic field, but the core physics of how that field imparts net kinetic energy to a spacecraft without the accelerator itself recoiling is not addressed, suggesting technical obfuscation of the momentum transfer problem.
Ambient atmospheric electric field and/or charge separation induced by mist injection. Possibly attempts to harness energy from corona discharge or charge transfer between mist particles and sharp collection fibers.
The patent describes an electrostatic collection system but fails to account for the energy required to create the mist, maintain the electric field gradient, or lift the structure to height. While harvesting from atmospheric potential gradients is physically possible (e.g., like a lightning rod in a charged cloud), the net energy gain is questionable without specifying how the necessary non-equilibrium condition is sustained without equal or greater energy input.
Electrical energy powers the laser emitters. The claimed 'gravity-based' aspect is not an energy source but a reference frame or calibration standard (gravitational acceleration).
The described device for calibrating light pressure using gravitational force is physically plausible in principle, but the patent claim is incomplete and lacks the necessary operational details to perform a full energy accounting and thermodynamic analysis. The ambiguity prevents a definitive validation of its physics compliance.
Kinetic energy of the gas (air) inside the rotating tire, driven by the vehicle's motion. The primary energy input is the vehicle's fuel/engine, which overcomes rolling resistance and air drag to move the vehicle, causing tire deformation and internal air motion.
The device harvests kinetic energy from air turbulence inside a moving tire. While not a fundamental physics violation, it is a parasitic system that increases the car's fuel consumption to generate a small amount of electricity, making its net benefit highly questionable.
Mechanical pressure from the user's footstep applied to a composite sintered body, presumably intended to generate electricity via piezoelectric or pressure-induced charge separation.
The device appears to be a piezoelectric-like energy harvester converting foot pressure into heat. While not inherently violating conservation laws, the description is technically vague, uses unconventional materials without a clear mechanism, and lacks any efficiency or power output figures, making its practical performance highly questionable.
The primary energy input is the applied temperature difference, which drives convective flow. The first magnetic field (likely from permanent magnets) provides ordering energy but may not be a net energy input if sourced from static magnets.
The device uses a temperature difference to drive flow of a ferrofluid, with magnets to align particles, inducing a current in a coil. It does not clearly violate conservation laws, as the heat gradient is the apparent energy source. However, the physics is obfuscated, the energy accounting is incomplete regarding the magnetic field source, and the practical efficiency is likely vanishingly small, making the claims highly questionable.
Mechanical work used to change the flow rate of an electrolyte relative to a nanoporous electrode, potentially converting fluid kinetic energy into electrical energy via electrokinetic or capacitive effects.
The patent describes a plausible electrokinetic energy converter, but its language is imprecise and suggests 'amplification' without clarifying the energy source, risking misinterpretation as over-unity. The core physics may be valid if it's simply harvesting mechanical work via ion double-layer disruption, but the claims need stricter energy accounting.
Unclear. Claims mention electrical connections, heating devices, and laser light sources, implying external electrical/optical energy input, but the description is fragmented and lacks a coherent energy flow diagram.
The patent describes a complex material assembly but fails to clearly define the energy input, conversion process, and output. While not explicitly claiming perpetual motion, the physics is obscured by jargon without a rigorous mechanism, making it impossible to verify thermodynamic compliance.
Unclear. The patent describes a magnetic field generated by a 'charge current circuit' but does not specify the primary energy input. Mentions battery, fuel cell, or supercapacitor principles for the 'charge part,' suggesting stored chemical/electrical energy is the likely source, but the description is ambiguous.
The patent describes a device using magnetic fields for force generation or energy storage, but its physics are vague and incomplete. While it may function as a motor/generator using stored energy, the language suggests possible over-unity implications through feedback loops without accounting for losses. The claims are technically obfuscated, preventing proper thermodynamic analysis.
Unclear. The device appears to rely on stored potential energy in the colloid force field and possibly an external 'offset force' for amplification/oscillation, but no explicit energy input mechanism is described for sustained operation.
The device as a passive bistable memory element is physically plausible using colloid forces. However, claims of amplification and oscillation are questionable because they imply active energy gain without identifying an external energy source to power that gain, violating the principle that amplifiers require a power supply.
Electrical input from a high-voltage power supply. The claim implies thrust is generated solely by this electrical input, with no mention of propellant, external working fluid, or ambient medium interaction.
The device appears to be an electrohydrodynamic thruster but is described in a way that omits the essential working fluid or propellant. Generating thrust in a sealed enclosure or rotational motion without an external reaction is a direct violation of conservation of momentum. The electrical energy input is clear, but the mechanism for momentum exchange is physically incomplete or misrepresented.
Unclear. The primary input appears to be the external torque applied to the rotor (Claim 2d) or the initial rotor motion (Claim 1c). The 'electric discharge' and axial current are also energy inputs. The claim suggests energy is 'stored' in sheared magnetic domains and then released.
The claim uses correct physics terms ('magnetic domains', 'shear', 'flux path') in an incorrect and obfuscating manner to describe an unclear energy conversion process. While it may not explicitly violate conservation laws, the description is too vague and misapplied to assess its validity, and it suggests energy release from an undefined storage mechanism without proper input accounting.
Vaguely described as pressure waves in Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere created by high-energy particle impacts. No clear mechanism for energy extraction or gradient utilization is specified.
The claim describes a vague energy source (magnetospheric pressure waves) but provides no physically coherent mechanism for coupling to or converting this energy. While magnetospheric phenomena are real, the description uses correct terminology in a speculative way without specifying a concrete, thermodynamically sound extraction method, making it scientifically questionable.
Unclear. The device is described as an 'energy conversion device' but the claim does not specify the input energy form (e.g., thermal, light, electrical potential). The structure suggests field electron emission, which would require an external electrical input to create the high field.
The claim describes a plausible electrode structure for field emission but fails to specify the energy input or conversion process, making its 'energy conversion' purpose and efficiency claims impossible to evaluate against physical laws. The vagueness warrants a 'questionable' rating.
Energy appears to come from the magnetic free energy stored when creating the initial non-equilibrium magnetic state (e.g., by applying and rapidly removing an external magnetic field). The useful electrical output is extracted from the system's relaxation to equilibrium.
The described method is physically plausible if the generated electricity comes from the stored magnetic energy of the prepared non-equilibrium state. However, the patent's claims are vague and lack the necessary energy accounting to prove the process doesn't violate the first law of thermodynamics, making it questionable without further detail.
Unspecified. The patent mentions a 'source of gravitational waves' which could be a human-made generator (requiring immense energy input) or a celestial source (ambient background). No energy accounting is provided.
The proposed system is not a direct violation of energy conservation, as it does not claim energy output > input. However, it is fundamentally questionable because it applies electromagnetic imaging concepts to gravitational waves without addressing the insurmountable physical barriers of weak interaction and detection sensitivity, making it practically infeasible.
Electrical input to create corona discharge; unclear if any ambient/thermal energy is claimed as an additional input.
The patent describes an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) device using corona discharge to move a fluid, which is a known physical phenomenon. However, the claims are vague about performance and energy conversion efficiency, making it impossible to assess against thermodynamic limits. It uses correct physics terms but in a broad, non-quantitative way that obscures its actual operating principles and potential limits.
Electrical input to create high voltage on the buried plates, which then polarizes the conductive magnetic mass and induces fields on the target.
The patent describes a complex electrostatic/magnetic actuator but provides no complete energy balance or efficiency analysis. While the basic principle of using electric fields to produce motion is valid, the language suggests an unsubstantiated benefit from higher voltage alone, implying more output power without accounting for the increased input power required, which is a hallmark of incomplete energy accounting.
Ambient energy from sunlight (photovoltaic), thermal gradients (thermoelectric), radio frequency radiation (RF harvesting), and kinetic energy/vibration (piezoelectric).
The device combines several real ambient energy harvesters (PV, TEG, RF, piezoelectric), so it does not explicitly violate conservation laws. However, its proposed internal synergies are thermodynamically flawed and poorly explained, suggesting 'mutual benefit' that may be physically impossible or highly inefficient, placing it in the questionable category.
Ambient humidity gradient (water vapor chemical potential difference) and possibly thermal energy from the environment, driving hydronium ion transport along amyloid fibers.
The claim describes a plausible energy harvesting mechanism using humidity gradients and ion-conducting fibers, which is physically possible. However, the patent language is vague and lacks a clear accounting of the energy source and the thermodynamic limits of the conversion process, making its feasibility and scalability uncertain without further technical details.
Ambient magnetic fields (via magnetoelectric energy harvester). The patent does not specify the source, strength, or variability of these fields, nor the conversion efficiency.
The patent describes a control system for managing power from an energy harvester, not the harvester itself. The physics compliance hinges entirely on the unspecified performance of the 'magnetoelectric energy harvester.' While such harvesters are legitimate, the claims make operational assumptions (harvesting rate > device consumption) without providing any physical basis or limits, making the system's feasibility unclear and requiring scrutiny.
Ambient thermal energy (latent heat of condensation) and electrical/thermal energy to operate the temperature control member. The primary energy input for water collection is the humidity gradient and temperature gradient driving condensation and absorption.
The described humidity control device uses valid physical principles (condensation, thermally-switched absorption) but the claims are incomplete. They omit the essential cooling energy input for condensation and vaguely reference 'generating power' without explanation, suggesting possible obfuscation or an implied violation if a full cycle is considered.
Ambient thermal energy (via the nanoparticle-dielectric medium) and/or an external electric field implied by the work function difference; no explicit input defined.
The patent describes a structure with a work function gradient but does not specify the input energy source required to drive a current or extract work. It risks implying energy can be extracted from a static, equilibrium configuration, which would violate thermodynamics. The physics terminology is used, but the operational principle is vague.
Radioactive decay of nuclear material, providing both high-energy photons (gamma/x-rays) and thermal energy (heat).
The system's primary energy source is clearly radioactive decay, which is valid. However, the described 'Nuclear Thermionic Avalanche Cell' mechanism is physically vague, uses terminology in a non-standard way, and makes extreme quantitative claims without a clear, plausible foundation in known physics, placing it in the 'questionable' category requiring significant scientific scrutiny.
Electrical input to sequentially energize windings and electromagnetic pole inserts. No ambient or secondary energy source is described.
The patent describes a complex motor/generator configuration but uses ambiguous terms like 'free-wheeling' magnets and makes an unquantified claim of reducing electromagnetic drag. While not an explicit violation of conservation laws, the technical obfuscation and lack of a clear, physically justified mechanism for a major efficiency breakthrough make it questionable.
Ambiguous and conflated. For the pendulum as a power source, the initial energy must come from an external input to start and maintain oscillation against damping (e.g., hands, wind, fuels, solar). The patent abstract incorrectly presents the pendulum-coil system itself as an energy source, rather than a converter of externally supplied energy.
The core violation is presenting the magnetized Foucault pendulum as an energy source rather than a transducer. To generate electrical current, the pendulum's motion must be sustained by an external energy input, which the patent acknowledges in a contradictory list but obscures in its primary claim. The earthquake/spin detection claims are separate and physically plausible as sensitive motion detectors.
Ambient energy harvesting from two sources: 1) Thermal gradient at power semiconductor (IGBT) junction using thermoelectric generators, 2) Broadband electromagnetic fields in space around the switch using multi-layer planar coils.
The patent describes harvesting ambient thermal and electromagnetic energy from power electronics to power monitoring sensors, which is physically possible in principle. However, the claims are vague about efficiency, power levels, and whether the 'broadband electromagnetic field harvesting' is legitimate ambient energy collection or parasitic coupling from the switch's own operation, requiring further scrutiny.
Primarily electrical input to create the electrostatic field/ion wind; may implicitly use ambient thermal energy from the liquid/vapor phase change environment.
The device appears to be an electrostatic ion wind heat pump, which is a physically plausible concept using electrical work to move fluid and transfer heat. However, the description is vague and uses technically suggestive language without a complete energy balance, making it impossible to verify if its claimed 'heat pump effect' respects thermodynamic limits.
Ambient atmospheric electrostatic energy from clouds (lightning potential), possibly supplemented by solar radiation gradients (opacity, humidity).
The device appears to harvest atmospheric electrostatic energy, a real but diffuse and intermittent source. The claim of 'continuous accumulation' without a detailed cycle or quantified output suggests incomplete accounting of how net useful work is continuously extracted, moving it toward perpetual motion claims. The hydroelectric analogy is misleading as water reservoirs store gravitational potential energy from solar-driven evaporation, not directly comparable to atmospheric charge.
Ambient sources: tidal motion (via floating skiff), solar thermal energy (via roof radiators), and organic decomposition (biogas pressure). These are legitimate but vaguely described inputs.
The device appears to collect real ambient energy (tidal, solar, biogas), but the description is obscured by pseudoscientific language and implies an unexplained coherence or multiplication of these energies. The lack of quantitative claims and clear energy accounting makes it questionable rather than an outright violation, but the physics is not presented coherently.
Unclear. The text describes an electromagnetic motor with stationary and rotating discs, magnets, and an axle, but does not specify the electrical input power source or quantify any ambient energy inputs.
The patent abstract describes an electromagnetic motor configuration but provides no quantitative data on energy input, output, or efficiency. The incomplete text and lack of energy accounting make it impossible to verify compliance with conservation laws, placing it firmly in the 'questionable' category requiring significant additional technical disclosure.
Unclear. The description mentions electrical control of coffee, sugar, and milk levels via a 'pliktrologio' (likely a control panel/PLC), and a water cooler/filter system, implying standard electrical grid power for pumps, controls, and cooling. No novel or ambient energy source is described.
The patent describes a standard automatic coffee machine (Frappé type) with typical components like stirrers, tanks, coolers, and controls. While no perpetual motion or over-unity claims are explicitly made, the analysis is severely hampered by the corrupted and vague text, preventing a proper physics compliance assessment. It appears to be a conventional appliance.
Solar photovoltaic panels (1) convert sunlight to electricity during the day. This electricity charges batteries (2). At night, LEDs (3) are powered by the batteries to illuminate the PV panels (4) via reflectors (8), theoretically causing the panels to continue generating some electricity.
The system uses daytime solar energy stored in batteries to power LEDs at night. While illuminating PV panels with LEDs will generate a tiny amount of electricity, it cannot exceed the energy consumed by the LEDs due to conservation of energy and photovoltaic efficiency limits. The claim of autonomous continuous production is misleading, as it's ultimately a battery-powered system with inevitable net losses.
Ambiguous. The device is described as an electrochemical-thermoelectric element combining thermoelectric and electrochemical principles. The implied energy source is a thermal gradient (temperature difference) applied to the element, but the text also mentions electrochemical reactions and electrolytes, suggesting possible chemical energy input.
The patent describes a hybrid thermoelectric-electrochemical device but fails to provide a complete physical energy accounting. While a thermoelectric generator legitimately converts a temperature gradient into electricity, the addition of unspecified electrochemical elements and electrolytes introduces ambiguity about additional, hidden energy inputs or storage, moving the claim into questionable territory.
Ambient electromagnetic radiation (presumably radio frequency or other EM waves) from an unspecified source. The system claims to collect this energy via a non-contact method using a circuit or system of circuits at a distance from the radiation source.
The patent describes a non-contact method for harvesting ambient electromagnetic energy, which is physically possible in principle. However, the claims are vague, lack quantitative performance data, and use obfuscating language ('force field interactions'), making it impossible to verify if the claimed useful output respects the fundamental limit that harvested power cannot exceed the incident ambient RF power flux. The description suggests an over-unity or free-energy implication by omission of the source's magnitude.
Electrical input from an external power source (e.g., batteries, solar panels). The claim states it requires only an electrical connection and no onboard propellant.
The device claims to be an electric 'impulsor' for spacecraft that requires only electrical power and no propellant. This is a violation of conservation of momentum, the fundamental principle governing rocket and thruster propulsion. Without ejecting reaction mass, it cannot produce net thrust in a vacuum, making its described operation physically impossible.
Electrical input to the RC oscillator circuit (presumably from a battery or power supply). The claim focuses on frequency stability, not energy generation.
The patent describes an RC oscillator whose frequency is claimed to be gravitationally stable via a feedback loop compensating for an unproven effect of gravity on capacitance. While not an overt energy violation, its core physical premise—that Earth's gravitational field density measurably affects the capacitance of standard capacitors in a specific, compensatable way—is highly questionable and lacks established theoretical or experimental foundation.
Mechanical rotation input to generator shaft (presumably from a turbine, engine, or other prime mover).
The patent describes making the stator rotate opposite the rotor to increase their relative motion, but this does not create new energy—it merely changes kinematic configuration. The claimed 95% improvement is vague and likely misinterprets relative speed for a net gain in output power, ignoring that input mechanical power remains the ultimate constraint. No thermodynamic violation is explicit, but the claims are physically misleading.
Unclear. The claim text is corrupted/nonsensical, preventing identification of any energy source, mechanism, or purpose.
The provided patent claim text is not coherent technical language but appears to be corrupted, encrypted, or nonsensical data. This prevents any meaningful physics-based analysis, raising immediate red flags about the legitimacy of the submission as a technical document.
Electrical input from an external high-voltage source, converted directly into a claimed propulsive force within a dielectric medium.
The patent describes a high-voltage electrode system that claims to directly produce motion, but it fails to provide a complete energy balance or a physically coherent mechanism. While not explicitly violating conservation laws, its claims of high efficiency and novel direct conversion are vague and lack the rigorous accounting needed to assess thermodynamic validity.
Electrical energy to power the superconducting coil and refrigeration system, and to operate the particle recovery system (belt/conveyor). The magnetic field from the coil provides the force to accelerate the iron particles.
The device does not inherently violate conservation laws, as the thrust is generated by electrical energy input. However, the patent description lacks a complete energy accounting, particularly for the significant parasitic loads of cryogenic refrigeration and particle recovery, making its practical efficiency and feasibility questionable without further analysis.
Unclear. The system appears to be a purely magnetic interaction between rotors, implying the initial energy input would be mechanical work to start the primary rotor. No external energy source (electrical, chemical, thermal gradient) is described for sustained operation.
The system describes a configuration of magnetized rotors but provides no mechanism for a net external energy input. Magnetic forces between permanent magnets are internal and conservative; they cannot perpetually add energy to the system. The claim of energy 'production' suggests an over-unity or perpetual motion violation unless an external power source is omitted from the description.
The primary energy input is the electrical power supplied to the stationary electromagnet. The claimed induced EMF in the stationary coil is a result of changing the magnetic field by modulating the current frequency.
The system is essentially a transformer or coupled inductor where modulating the input current induces a voltage in a nearby coil. There is no novel source of energy; all output comes from the input power supply. The description is misleading by framing it as a 'power generation system' rather than a power conversion device with inherent losses.
