Gentlemen, I believe I've solved unlimited energy. I'll take the Nobel through mail.
Inertia. Once something is in a non-accelerating state, it will remain in that state (moving or still) until a force acts upon it.

My pot is really big
Joe - Did I tell you that I've trapped ten Lions the other day?
Jack - Wow, what did you catch them in?
Joe - Africa!
Jack - No, I mean in what kind of trap, not where!
Joe - Yes, yes, in Africa. I cunningly waited till they found themselves in there and - BAM, they were caught.
Jack - You didn't catch them, you didn't do anything, that doesn't count.
Joe - Why not? And it's secure, too! I reckon that they won't ever be able to escape because the continent is so big!
Jack - Go away.
Thus endeth the parable.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

After doing extensive research, I find that is true. Please do your own peer review.
