To Paul Almond:

In order to "extract energy from the random motion of air molecules in my room" you could use an array of smaller wind driven turbines. Auger or screw shaped turbines pointing upward are more efficient because they are driven to spin the same direction no matter which direction the wind moves, as long as it moves past the spiral.

"If one molecule nudges my windmill one way, shortly afterwards, another molecule will hit it from a different direction and nudge it a different way." Most electrical generators produce AC or alternating current, and you can do that from an oscillating or vibrating motion almost as well as from a spinning motion. Electro-Magnetic generators are all about the number or magnetic lines, number of wires and velocity.
"random motion" the common interpretations of "Random" and "Perfect" are not actually possible. Randomness is not possible because every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and because an object in motion remains in motion until acted upon by an outside force. This means the same as conservation of energy, it means energy cannot be destroyed or created, and most of all, it means that there is a cause for every effect. That means that nothing is truly random. There is only too complex for us to determine, but nothing is actually random. We know we can only see some of the existing dimensions. We simply cannot see all of the causes, or therefore determine all of the future outcomes, and that creates an illusion of unpredictability we call "Random". Anything is possible if you have no limits, but we have limits. These laws of physics are those limits. To change that is to change our reality.


"you would need to scale up the random motion in the microscopic world to produce some macroscopic effect" The idea above of producing many small wind-powered generators, and connecting them all into one circuit, with one electrical output, is scaling up microscopic motion of air into macroscopic effects when that output is used to say light a bulb or turn a larger motor.

"although it is better described in terms of thermodynamics." Thermodynamics is a macroscopic scaled terminology and field of study, which (like everything else physical), is a manifestation of a more microscopic cause which is: physics, the most basic laws of nature; motion, magnetism, and charge (-&+). Therefore, matters of physics are certainly not better described in the less accurate terms of thermodynamics.

"your issue is that "free energy" would need to violate the second law of thermodynamics". To clarify, I define "Free Energy" as any energy obtained without the continuous input of energy like fuel or human muscle power. By this definition, if you can build a device, and it will output energy as long as it does not break, with no further input, fuel, or maintenance, then you have a "Free Energy" device. Anything which operates "Over-Unity" is not creating energy, but deriving it from the surrounding environment. Every wise physicist throughout history has recognized that the universe is teaming with energy which could be limitless if harnessed. That abundant energy is any and all of the fluctuations occurring at all scales of existence...all forms of energy. Solar, Wind, and Hydro-Electric Generators are therefore "Free Energy", but even these get there energy from the fuel burnt in the Fusion of the Sun. The difference is that we don't have to supply the fuel, we are simply utilizing the free energy that nature is providing us. There are many other examples like: the Motionless Electromagnetic Generator (MEG), Robert Adams Motors, Howard Johnson's Motors, Edwin Grey's Cold Electrical Generator, Floyd Sweets VTA, and many others. These all get their energies from magnetic fluctuations which extract heat (or momentum of electrons) from the surrounding environment.

"how this problem can be resolved"
"the second law of thermodynamics is what needs an answer, suggests that you have no understanding of what you are talking about."
"Second law of thermodynamics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The second law of thermodynamics is an expression of the tendency that over time, differences in temperature, pressure, and chemical potential equilibrate in an isolated physical system. From the state of thermodynamic equilibrium, the law deduced the principle of the increase of entropy and explains the phenomenon of irreversibility in nature. The second law declares the impossibility of machines that generate usable energy from the abundant internal energy of nature by processes called perpetual motion of the second kind."

First: There is no such thing as: "an isolated physical system", that is not actually possible in our universe, because of our physics, because everything is a curvature, or distortion of space itself. Call it space, ether, etherons, virtual particles, pure energy, the medium, spirit, zero-point, relative-angular-motion of nothing, or whatever you want, it is simply pressure in motion. What is pressurized and in motion smaller than Electrons, Protons, Neutrons, and Photons does not matter because it is not matter. Those only appear as matter for a brief time, but are not entities or forms which can self-sustain or self-perpetuate by resonating with all the other matter in our universe. All these other supposed particles created by smashing the real ones together are just short lived, ephemeral forms of energy. Because everything is an extension of one thing, everything can share momentum, to find balance, and that is why there are no isolated systems in the universe.

Second: How could any one know the universe has a finite life span? To know that you would have to know what caused the Big Bang. The Genesis of Relativity explains just that, but it is not finite, it is growing in complexity. Actual observations show the universe is growing AND accelerating. How can that be if Entropy rules? There is a paper called: Negentropy or Negative Entropy by Thomas Bearden you may wish to read. In order to understand the balance between forces of entropy (destruction of matter into energy) and forces of neg-entropy (creation or matter from energy), you must understand how matter formed to begin with. The Genesis of Relativity also explains that, and how it continues to happen today, and forever, in a repeating cycle.

I would like to see an accepted mainstream explanation of why the universe seems to be expanding AND accelerating. To me this is obvious evidence that energy is turning into matter. Entropy does not rule, there are no closed systems, and any "Free Energy" or "Over-Unity" device is actually an open system, receiving energy from the environment. Energy is only changed in form.

To apply this theory to every day life simply use it to figure out anything you ever need to figure out. This gives you deep insight to not only understanding how nature works, but how to predict the future, and choose your fate. It gives you the ability to construct anything you can imagine when you understand the origin of matter and the forces of nature.

Soon I may even get help to construct proof. Tesla already did most of the work from the 1880s to 1920s and up to his death in 1943 as I recall, and he patented and spoke publicly about his work.

Do you wish to discuss the specifics of: "perpetual motion of the second kind"?

If "The Genesis of Relativity" is correct, than we can manipulate objects according to Faraday's law: Send a magnetic pulse past the target object -the target must be within a high-voltage potential which is at90-degrees to the direction and polarity of magnetic pulses-, and that target object should react. John Hutchison has recorded such effects, and Faraday's law is the key to repeating them. If the pulses are resonant with the target object the reaction will be maximized. Levitation at a distance is the key technology to replicators, transporters, impulse drive, inertial control&dampening, warp-drive, and every other technology you can imagine. The trick is to use interferometry, and different wave forms (like Tesla's 'Radiant' longitudinal waves instead of just the common 'Hertzian' transverse waves). We need to understand Electronics and Myron Evan's math to achieve these goals.
