THOUGHT EXPERIMENT TO PROVE VIOLATION OF THE LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY

The following paper attempts to prove violation of the law of conservation of energy, or in other words is a theoretical proof of over unity efficiency. Here, a thought experiment is demonstrated which mathematically proves over unity efficiency of a flywheel energy storage system under specific conditions . In the experiment , a flywheel system is considered such that , the entire mass of the flywheel consists of two masses which are free to move under the influence of centrifugal forces. The enclosing body of the flywheel should essentially be of negligible mass. When the flywheel is given input energy, it starts rotating and the movable masses of the piston move radially outwards due to centrifugal force, in the process, storing energy in an energy storing mechanism . The rotational kinetic energy of the flywheel is harnessed ( typically like the conventional flywheel energy storage systems ) . When the flywheel stops rotating and its entire rotational kinetic energy is harnessed, the additional energy stored by the masses in the energy storing mechanism is released and harnessed. This additional release of energy essentially violates the law of conservation of energy as the net output energy is greater than the net input energy . This is mathematically proven in the present paper.
