Perpetual-Motion and Free-Energy devices are really fairly straight­forward to design and construct. The proper arrangement of counterweights, pulleys, frictionless gears and magnets will allow [almost] any machine to operate in perpetuity without additional energy inputs. Free energy is easily obtained with the proper phasing of magnetic fields and circuitry.

However, designing and constructing such devices is quite hazardous because producing these severely threatens the evil energy monopolies that rule the world. Inventors of such devices find themselves up against a vast conspiracy of energy firms, manufacturers and governments, the Power-Industrial-Government (P.I.G.) complex, who will stop at nothing, NOTHING, to disrupt, impede or even assassinate the inventor.

Thus, after you have designed and/or produced your perpetual-motion or free-energy device, you should carefully observe the following guidelines:

•   Do not try to patent your device. Patent offices (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20) routinely deny all such applications on the patently bogus grounds that such devices are impossible. And patent clerks will inform their corporate co-conspirators of your work, so that the corporate assassins know who to target.
•   As a matter of personal security, never let your real name or address be associated with the device. Always publish any information about your devise under an assumed name, and conduct all communications about such devices through several cut-outs.
•   Publish technical details about your device(s) on anonymous websites and in sensationalistic paranormal journals that are not take seriously by the powers-that-be. The Edison Electric Institute probably does not review every issue of FATE magazine for dangerous disclosures. Probably.
•   If you decide to publicly display a working model of you device, you should hire one or more actors to present the demonstration. You should remove the real core components of your device and replace them with a motor and wires. These wire should be not-too-carefully concealed, so that any skeptic investigating the device will find the wires, determine that your device is an obvious fraud, and expose your fakery.
    Again, this a measure to protect you - if the powers-that-be thought that you had a device that actually worked, even if you operate through cut-outs and hired personnel, they can still trace you and kill you.
•   For the same reason, when publishing technical details of your device, always withhold critical information, so that no-one could actually duplicate your working device. Remember - if it works, you're in grave danger.
•   Keep in mind that the people in the public eye who claim to have invented free-energy or perpetual-motion devices ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) are actually disinformation agents of the Power-Industrial-Government (P.I.G.) complex. They are only in the public eye in order to give free-energy and perpetual-motion a bad name, to discredit all workers in the field, and to discourage workers from researching such devices.
•   Best yet: If you DO build such a device, KEEP IT A SECRET. Tell NO ONE. Keep it in your basement. Use it to power your own house. Do NOT cut yourself off from the power grid, though - you'll be conspicuous if you do so. You should at least put solar cells on your roof so that you APPEAR to be dependent on external energy sources.

True energy independence cannot be tolerated by the P.I.G. complex. Remember, their motto is: "Get'em by the sockets, and their hearts and minds will follow." By challenging their energy monopoly, you are a threat to their control regime. Keep a VERY low profile, and you may survive your discovery. Maybe.

How to Harness VRIL ENERGY and/or Other Alien/Future Energies Without Being Scorched

We're running out of energy. Well, I am, anyway. Whew. But I digress. We're running out of energy. Unless we can develop cold fusion or zero-point or some other form of power generation, or put a slew of solar-cell satellites up into LEO (Low Earth Orbit), we seem to be in a pretty pickle: increasing energy demands leading to increasing pollution from hydrocarbon and nuclear generators, or covering vast stretches of real-estate with humungeous windmills. But wait, there's more! We can tap into Vril energy! Here's how:

1. Locate the Vril, Muans, or other energetic aliens / spirits / superdudes.
2. Be very nice to them (offer valuables, information, life, oral sex, etc.)
3. Always wear non-conductive soles; don't grab energy sources with both hands.
4. Absorb all the energy you can; store the excess in humungous batteries.
5. Supply/rule the known world. Punish those who don't adequately submit.
6. Establish subterranean colonies. Send all your enemies there. Gloat.
7. Be careful that material gain, and the accumulation and exercise of power, don't imperil your soul. As if you really give a shit.
8. Eventually, become an energetic alien / spirit / superhuman race yourself. Be persuaded to divulge the secrets of your power to your inferiors, who will then undergo the same process as you have. Observe their development, chuckling in amusement.
