OK, Mike.

1. The United States Patent Office does not issue patents for perpetual motion machines. These do exactly what the patent claims, otherwise they would not be issued. Part of the patent process is proving that the device or process does what is claimed.

2. To make such a statement about the information provided indicates that you cannot accept that coefficient of performance can exceed efficiency. Would you tell the man with a sailboat to pull his sails down and row because it is "perpetual motion" to use the sails? Another obvious example is the common heat pump which produces far more heat than the electricity used to run the compressor. <100% efficiency, yes. >100% of energy (heat) output to energy used to run the compressor, yes.

Perhaps if you were to actually research the physics and processes of these with an open mind, you would perhaps be able to better understand it, and perhaps improve upon it. I would hate to think you were the kind of person who operates along the lines of the physicists who advised the US Patent Office to deny the Wright Brother's airplane patent application because they stated that, "...heavier than air flight is impossible".

Wish you well Mike.
