hi all; you might want to check out this two volume encyclopedia by "Denis Dederot" there are 485 copies of copper plate engravings all about trades and industry of early 1700 the title is " A Diderot Pictorial Encyclopedia of Trades and Industry" hope this helps in your quest for free energy!!

This might not be the correct encyclopedia, but may be of interest to some in this forum.

Here is a Babelfish translation of the Perpetual motion section of the above encyclopedia.
PERPETUEL, adj. (Métaph.) is properly what always lasts, or which never finishes. See Éternité. Perpetual, says itself sometimes what lasts all along the life of somebody. Thus the offices which last all the life, are appellés perpetual. The secretary of the Academy of Science is perpetual, &c. Chambers. Perpetual motion, is a movement which preserves & renews continuously itself, without the help of any external cause; or it is a not stopped communication of the same degree of movement which passes from a part of matter to the other, either in a circle, or in another curve returning in itself; so that the same movement returns to the first engine, without to have been faded. See Mouvement. To find the perpetual motion, or to build a machine which has such a movement, has been a famous problem, quiexerce the Mathematicians for 2000 years. We have an infinity of intentions, figures, plans, machines, wheels, &c. which are the fruit of the efforts that one made to solve this problem. It seroit useless & moved to give the detail here of it; there are none of these projects which deserves that one makes mention of it, since all fell through. It is also rather an insult as a praise, of saying somebody whom it seeks the perpetual motion: the uselessness of the esforts which one made to find up to now it, give an unfavorable idea of those which apply to it. Indeed, it paroît that we should not hardly hope to find it. Among all the properties of the matter & movement, we let us connoissons any no who parish capacity being the principle of such an effect. It is agreed that the action & the reaction must to be equal, & that a body which gives movement to another, must lose movement as much than it communicates some. However in the state present of the things, the resistance of the air, the frottemens, must necessarily delay the movement unceasingly. See Résistance. Thus so that an unspecified movement could always remain, it faudroit, or that it was continuously maintained by an external cause; & it seroit then only one requires in the perpetual motion: or that any resistance was entirely destroyed; what is physically impossible. See Matiere & Frottement. By the second natural law (See Natural), the changemens which arrive in the movement of the bodies are always proportional to the driving force which are printed to them, & are in the same direction as this force: thus a machine can receive a more great movement only that which resides in the driving force which was printed to him. However on the ground that we live, all the mouvemens are done in a resistant fluid, & consequently they must be necessarily delayed: thus the medium must absorb a considerable part of the movement. See Milieu. Moreover, there is machine where one can avoid friction, because there is not in the nature of perfectly plain surfaces, so much because of the way in which the parts of the bodies are adherent between them, that because of nature of these parts, & little proportion that there is between the clean matter that the bodies contain, & the volume which they occupy. See Frottement. This friction must consequently decrease little-with-little the force printed or communicated to the machine: so that the perpetual motion sauroit to take place, with-less the communicated force is much the greater only generating force, & that it does not compensate for the reduction that all the other causes produce there: but as nothing gives what it does not have, the generating force can give to the machine a degree of movement more large only that which it has itself. Thus all the question of the perpetual motion in this case, is reduced to find a weight heavier than itself, or an elastic force larger than itself. Or finally, in third & last place, it faudroit to find a method to regain by the provision & the combination of the mechanic powers, a force equivalent to that which is lost. It is mainly at the latter point, that all those stick which want to solve this problem. But how, or by which means, can one regain such a force? It is certain that the multiplication of the forces or the powers is not useful of nothing for that: because what one gains in power, is lost in tems; so that the momentum remains always the same one. Mechanic the sauroit to never make that a small power is really equal to larger, for example that 25 pounds are equivalent to 100. If it us paroit that a less power is equivalent to larger, it is an error of our directions. Balance is not truly between 25 pounds & 100 pounds, but between 100 pounds which are driven or tended to be driven with a certain vitess, & 25 pounds which tend to be driven with four times more vitess than the 100 pounds. When one considere weights 25 & 100 like fixed & motionless, one can believe initially that the 25 pounds alone prevent a weight much larger from rising; but one will undeceive oneself soon if one considere one & the other weight moving, because it will be seen that the 25 pounds can raise the 100 pounds only by traversing in same the tems a space four times larger. Thus the virtual momentum of these two weights will be the same ones, & consequently there more nothing surprising in their balance. A power of 10 books being thus mûe, or tending to be driven with ten times more vitess than a power of 100 pounds, can make balance with this derniere power; & one can about it say as many all the products equal to 100. Lastly, the product of share & other must always be of 100, in some manner that one is caught there; if the mass is decreased, it is necessary to increase speed in same reason. This inviolable law of nature, leaves another thing be made with art only choose between the various combinations which can produce the same effect. See , with the Natural word. Chambers. (O) Mr. de Maupertuis, in one of his letters on différens prone of Philosophy, makes the following reflexions on the perpetual motion. Those which seek this movement exclude from the forces which must produce it non-seulement the air & water, but still some others agens natural that one y pourroit to employ. Thus they do not look like perpetual motion that which seroit produces by the vicissitudes of the atmosphere, or by those of the cold & the heat. They are limited to two agens, the inertia, see Inertie, & gravity, see Pesanteur; & they reduce the question to know if one can prolong the vitess of the movement, or by the first of these means, i.e. by transmitting the movement by shocks of a body to another; or by the second, while making go up bodies by the descent of other bodies, which then will go up themselves while the others go down. In this second case it is shown that the sum of the multiplied bodies each one by the height from where it can deseendre, is equal to the sum of these same bodies, multiplied each one by the height where he will be able to go up. It faudroit thus, to arrive at the perpetual motion by this means, that the bodies which fall & élevent absolutely preserved all the movement which gravity can give them, & did not lose of it anything by friction or resistance air, which is impossible. If one wants to employ the inertia, one will notice, 1°. that the movement is lost in the shock of the hard bodies; 2°. that if the bodies are elastic, the sharp force with the truth is preserved. See Conservation of the forces vives(1). But in addition to there are perfectly elastic bodies, abstraction still should be made here frottemens & resistance of the air. From where Mr. de Maupertuis concludes that one cannot hope to find the perpetual motion by the inertia, either that by gravity, & that thus this movement is impossible. Letter XXII.

"Nothing in this worldcan take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

Not knowing is not the problem. It is the knowing of what just isn't so.
It is our responsibilities, not ourselves,that we should take seriously.
