The other two alchemy and perpetual motion are scams.

Nope.

Any idiot with a reactor can transmute elements.

People are working on 'zero point' energy to extract usable power from quantum mechanical vacuum fluctuations. Also there are several commercially products that do 'energy harvesting' to power flea watt electronics...

...commercially available products...

Damm non-clairvoyant spell check.

Really? Someone has a reactor that transmutes lead into gold or another base metal. Got a link?

How are these perpetual motion machines?

Wasn’t that tried at Chernobyl?

Was under the impression that zero point energy was the lowest energy level (hence 'zero point'). Energy is freed up for use when the energy is taken from a higher state to a lower state. Since zero point energy is already at the lowest state (since pure vacuum at absolute zero is supposed to have zero point [or vacuum] energy) extracting the energy for use is still a big question.

At least the NASA article on zero point energy read that way.

You sound like that auto mechanic that explained my large bill by saying he had to replace a fluctuating framish in the vulture clevis and replace my muffler bearings.
