According to the Law of thermodynamics:

Therefore the energy will never exceed what was there in the first place.

2nd law: You can't break even. (No energy transfer is 100% efficient,
there will always be some loss) Therefore the energy produced will have to
be less than the energy input.


You've neglected the 3rd and 4th laws. (not that it changes anything....)
