Could this be the engine of 2012?

Free energy for everyone! And all through the miracle of old bike parts and windscreen washer motors...

A Wells-based inventor has BROKEN THE LAWS OF PHYSICS.

Yep, the anonymous architect of this contraption - called The Alpha Omega Galaxy Freefall Generator - claims it produces more power than it consumes. And that breaks the first law of thermodynamics, which states that energy can be changed from one form to another, but cannot be created or destroyed. Free power, y'all!

So, what's this ultramodern innovation built from? Carbon fibre? Titanium? Teflon? Err, no. It's made out of leftover bicycle parts, a windscreen-washer motor and a selection of magnets.

It works thusly. Wheels with magnets on spin around, apparently creating energy from gravity. A tiny amount of power's provided to the machine via said washer motor, which is transferred onto the weird spiny bits using a rubber band cut from a bicycle inner tube.

And, as you can see from the video, the flywheels keep turning, even though it would seem impossible for the motor to move the weight of the machine.

The mystery inventorizer claims a commercial version could produce enough power to run a house, virtually free of charge, and could be installed anywhere without the need for a power source.

He told This is Somerset: "The Alpha Omega Galaxy Freefall Generator (AOGFG) is a different eco-friendly way of producing electricity...

The world's changed forever, TopGear.commers. How do you feel?

Alpha Omega Galaxy Freefall Generator? I've said it once and I'll say it again, what kind of name is that?

Ahhhh fools and their perpetual motion machines- they NEVER work. It is impossible- it's like, I don't know! It's rubbish, utter rubbish. It might be very efficient, but it will sure as hell stop eventually...
