Perpetual motion devices
There are many such being touted on the internet these days. They are no longer a rotating arrangement of parts that can apparently turn forever with no power being applied, but the promise is always the same - the device will have an output greater than the input.
Because simple rotation is no longer even interesting, the name has changed. These devices are now called "overunity" devices, as they claim to produce significantly more power than it takes to operate them.
The traditional perpetual motion device only claimed to run forever once set in motion. Overunity devices are odd, in that they must be powered continuously, but are also supposed to produce more output than physics would predict is possible.
However, no figures ever get published to support such claims. This is really strange, as that would be the first thing to check - if one is using 10 watts of power to run this thing, and can measure 20 watts coming out, pointing this out is as natural as any other statistic. Those input-to-output figures never show up, though.
The next strangest thing, especially with the generators that claim more power out than in, is that none of these devices can ever be self-powered. With an overunity generator, it may take an external battery to start it up, but there should also be a switch to throw, allowing the output to be fed to the input, and keep it running using only its own power. This particular claim is never made.
Think about this for a bit - if any device is supposed to be able to produce more power out than it takes to operate it, being able to power itself is simply obvious.
The fact that this can't be made to happen should be a major clue: These claims are all lies. These devices are all scams. Even the magical water power devices should be able to make enough gas to run themselves. None of them do. They are all scams.
