Well, as others have pointed out, this would require rewriting several 
laws of physics (that, one should point out, never have been proven - 
they're just laws of physics, based on observations and never refuted 
either).

But as the comments say, you can't create energy. You can convert one 
type of energy into another one: for instance, if you explode gunpowder, 
you convert chemical energy into kinetic energy.

Then there are forces, like gravity and magnetism, but even a force on 
it's own doesn't do much. You can create electricity from a dam, so you 
convert kinetic energy (the flowing water) into electric energy. But how 
did the water get there in the first place? Well, it rained. But why did 
it rain? Well, it evaporated from the sea. So what made the water 
evaporate? The sun. In other words, a hydro-electric dam is in fact a 
very complex way of using solar energy.

But there's no such thing as free energy. Magnetism on its own doesn't 
do a thing. You need to move a magnet about, and then you can generate 
electricity. But moving the magnet requires energy.

It always comes down to the same thing, and anything that claims to 
'create energy, goes against those very laws that nobody have been able 
to refute.
