The thing about overunity is that you can't disprove it. In Isaac Asimov's sci fi book "The Gods Themselves", parallel universes are discovered and it becomes possible to use two other universes similarly to the way we use a hot and cold body to extract energy. It becomes free energy to those in our universe. Dr. Asimov was a chemist and had a good understanding of the laws of thermodynamics, yet he imagined a way to write a sci fi book that incorporated overunity without breaking the laws of thermodynamics.
Of course, this is sci fi, but how can we say that there definitely can not be a future real scientific discovery such as this. You can't prove a negative statement like "overunity is impossible".
The thing that baffles me about the overunity enthusiasts is that often they are just rehashing ideas that have already been disproven. Devices like generators, motors, magnets, electronics and mechanical devices don't allow for overunity. These people like to think they are more open-minded than we for believing in the possibility, but they are in fact very unimaginative to not come up with something that at least has a chance of uncovering a new principle to work with.
