For the longest time I have always wondered why they say self contained generation isn't possible.
Has to do with perpetual motion I guess but I still don't understand it.
It seems to me that in theory you could connect the output shaft of a motor to the input shaft of a generator, connect the output wires from the gen. to the input of the motor, give it a good healthy spin and it would go on forever feeding itself.
Why is this impossible?
