I am clearly not starting from scratch. You maybe starting from scratch, but I know how just about everything in the modern world works. not an expert.. just have a general idea.
I looked up design parameters by defining the machine. then put 20 years of design to work thinking of all the different was to create a self contained system that creates as much or more energy than it takes to propel the machine. first thing that came to mind was solar, but that uses the sun for fuel then geothermal which uses water trapped beneath the earth for fuel.
then I had the idea of treating a geo thermal like a nuclear power plant IE making a closed loop system but I also know that water trapped will accumulate and need to be vented which at this point is waste other wise the plant could blow, because the water helps stabilize the fissure temp or magma coming to the surface.. (cut off the water it will run hotter like a melt down situation)
then thought if it where further down.. then remembered seeing a video on the deepest hole ever dug. and remember they had to stop drilling because the water/mud they where using to keep the drill cool was turning to steam and at that level the rock is more like soft clay. temp is that hot 7.5 miles down and if we cut water in the closed loop nothing will happen that has not already happened. meaning it is safe to operate indefinitely.
So I purposed that finding out a day later that the earth's temp by this new definition I found would be considered fuel just like the sun is considered fuel for the solar array as a solar plant can not produce electricity with out the sun my hybrid plant can not produce electricity with out the heat of the earth.
I don't believe for a second you are an engineer Drich. Here is what you have to do: you need to use proper words. Exempli gratia: you can have an idea that is more efficient harnessing geothermal energy, like the machine you propose. Build one, show that it is more efficient than normal geothermal stations (don't forget to register a patent) and collect the moneys and laurels of your invention. Do not claim it a a perpetual motion machine, because it is impossible. The most efficient machine humans make is the electric transformer, has no moving parts, that is in the 95% efficiency, still there is a loss of energy via conductor resistance and the heat loss from that (ever wondered why those heat up , e.g. your phone charger). An internal combustion engine like most cars, is in 35-40% efficiency range.
You are talking out of your ass. Take a course on physics please, it would do wonders about your understanding of these things.
