9. The math and physics geeks all left the room
when the first law of thermodynamics was ignored.

There is probably no more basic foundation for physics, chemistry and biology than the law of conservation of energy. Never, and I repeat, never have there been experiments which show violations of this law. There may be phenomena at the cosmological or subatomic level which are not completely understood, but conservation of energy will be the last thing tossed out the window.

Minato's work doesn't pass any reasonable smell test and has the same structure as many other, sometimes well-meaning hoaxes such as perpetual motion machines or magic carburetors which allow automobiles to run on water instead of gasoline.

My bet is on the millions of historical confirmatory experiments for conservation of energy as opposed to a clever stageshow. Minato's claims of greater than 100% efficiency and that no accepted laws of physics are violated are nonsense as any physicist will be able to tell you. He either does not understand how to properly measure power out/power in or he is deliberately falsifying his demonstrations.
