This is true, the term "Free Energy" is a misnomer. One must pay the piper to get started, the system must be set up to harvest the Energy of the Universe. Same energies that power atoms and all living things. We are immersed in a sea of energy, that sustains everything around us. The proper term is "Over-Unity" because we can extract more than we contribute by our own efforts. Some day it will be seen like Solar and Wind Power, we just "harvest" the excess energy that surrounds us... ;)
