[Amps] [Moon-net] Major breakthrough with regenerative yagi.

[Robert Groh]

Well, your idea certainly hit home for me!  Way, way back in the olden days (probably 1950'ish when I was about 8 or 9 years old), I had exactly the same idea.  I was very excited about the idea, drew up a sketch and tried to convince my father to help me build it.  Perpetual motion!  Why not!  Well, he was a bit more pragmatic and the idea died a quiet death after a couple of weeks.  Don't remember when I had learned enough physics to figure out it was a non-starter but I sure do remember the excitement of the idea!

For what it is worth, when I was a lot younger I had this idea to make 
free electricity. One had a motor and dynamo (generator) connected via a 
belt. One powered the motor up, which turned the generator, which made 
enough power to power the motor and some extra you could use. Once it 
was started, it kept going.

I was convinced it would work! I'm not sure how old I was when I had 
this idea, but I know I would have known it was fundamentally flawed by 
the age of 16. Antennas are a lot more complex to understand properly 
than the simple generator/motor idea of mine.
