Maybe you need to take a ride in one of the first automobiles or take a flight on the Wright Brother's first plane. Technology can take things a long way once engineers get over the hurdle of believing that it will work. It may never power a car but it can charge the batteries overnight. I believe that it has tremendous possibilites (but maybe I am in a minority).

: I agree with those who feel they shouldn't have to pay. But you have to consider. Principle science believes it isn't possible to get any machine to be more than 99 percent efficient. To get above this is impossible of course in a physicists eyes. let's say, for sake of an argument we are able to do this. Most of the energy of the machine would be needed to keep the machine running. Very little could be used to harness. You would still have to pay someone to build the machine. Someone (presumably)to maintain it or repair it. I agree with John Collins. Such a machine nowdays would be seen as little more than a novelty. Consider if Bessler's machine were Legit. Someone had calculated it produced around 50 watts that could be used. Just enough for a low power lightbulb, not to mention all the conversion losses from wheel to generator. That's around one fourteenth of a horsepower. An average small sized car has approx. a one hundred and ten horsepower engine. Can you imagine how many five hundred pound wheels would be needed to power a car?
: In fact, we may probably never get beyond the fact of having to pay for power to fill our energy requirements.
