bits of it, an overall idea, involving heated water rising to

lower portion of the contraption. Wish I had the labratory I
have always desired to test and invent based on ideas.

The big enemy of perpetual motion machines is friction. In
theory, if you could make a pendulum that could move without any
friction, it would swing back and forth forever. Energy lost
through friction means some of the energy in the system has been
lost. In your device, you would also have to prevent any heat
loss from the system.

Ah now there, I don't happen to believe in time. I think it's an
illusion. Spirit can move "back and forth" in time -- but
that's in the imagination. I think science is still a bit on
the wrong track with its ideas about time.
Time is created by us, I think. We chant it into being. Yes,
again the "voice" is making something happen. We tend to think
it's always and only the Voice of God that brings things into
being; but I think we are all singing along and creating this
illusion we call time.
Notice in Genesis, the "first day" commences when God speaks.
What does that mean? Even more perplexing is this passage --
what does it mean?
Revelation 10:5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and
upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created
heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the
things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are
therein, that there should be time no longer:
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he
shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as
he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
Does this mean "time" for people to do something runs out -- or
does it mean time ceases to exist? Could it be that time
itself is somehow tied to this "mystery of God" John mentions?
Of course, I relate this seventh trump to what Paul calls the
"last trump." I also believe that some of God's servants have
already heard this last and seventh trump and have escaped the
illusion of time -- and are "now" comfortably in what we refer
to as "eternity" but which Jesus often called the "world to
come."

Yes, friction does slow things down, not even worrying about
that, you would have to clean it from time to time to keep
biological matter and other such stuff from building up in the
channels and the flywheel. And of course the generator and
electrical connections replace once in a while. But it should
produce more energy than it needs to keep going, and the water
serves to keep things cool, and the natural convection current
of nature does the work (heat likes to rise). The time travel
thing involves electrical magnetic fields of immense power being
focused in certain ways to create a portal of broken universal
laws, where the physical may be able to step through into other
time frames. Of course, it would take much dangerous testing,
not knowing where the items would end up, and whether flesh
could go through and survive.

How could it produce more energy than it had originally? Where
would the extra energy come from?

From the upward movement of hot water that naturally rises.
They already have machines close to my thoughts that ride in the
waves creating energy from the movement of water.

But you have to put energy into making the water hot, and
there's the problem. You would probably wind up putting more
energy into it than you got out.
However I could see inventing such a device; and perhaps it
could be used with solar power. On sunny days when you're
making lots of electricity, you heat water and send it
underground the way heat pumps do. You can heat rocks with hot
water to a pretty high temperature. As you probably know, heat
pumps do something like that and then on cold days, they reverse
the flow of water and send it through a building; and I saw a
house on tv once in New England that used almost no outside
electricity in the coldest winters since it had stored up so
much heat underground in the summer. I don't know how
feasible it would be to use that stored heat to manufacture
electricity. Theoretically I'd think it should be possible.

Heat pumps are popular out here where we live. We first heard
of them when we moved here.
