hello to everyone, first of all I apologies for my bad english
the idea is - i will use 2 KW motor to spin a 50 KW alternator or generator.
the cost to buy electricity is 17 p/kWh and to sell it to the grid is 5.1 p/kWh
so my motor will use 48 kW in 24h with a cost of 8.16 pounds in 24 hours of electricity and the generator will produce 1200 kW in 24 hours, maybe less around 1000 kW which means 50 pounds a day. so the profit will be around 40 pounds a day
what do you say about that?????
will it work????

Your English is better than your science.
Dream on. No it won't work.
If this actually worked we could be running a huge series of these generators to power an entire city, the entire country.... and it could all be back tracked down the daisy chain to one person in a garage with a hamster running in a wheel.
But don't let me hold you back.

I believe the first law of thermodynamics says that energy is neither created nor destroyed, it can change form. You're proposing a perpetual motion machine, one that creates more energy than it consumes. Also, with all of our machines much energy is "wasted" or converted to the form of heat, this is generally lost energy to our purposes. On a good day you'll get closer to 1kw of power from a 2kw motor/generator setup with frictional/heat losses.

You can't generate 1200KW with 48KW. Your motor wont be able to run the generator.

no no. it will work. on fairy dust and unicorn horn.  which to british pounds converts as Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg, and howlet's wing.
If I've done my math right.

What about using multiple hamsters? Should they run in parallel or series?

Hamsters are not intelligent enough to run in parallel, so they'll have to run in series.

Careful, somewhere under a set of bleachers in Detroit hamzilla is now waiting for that special spark. 7 billion people dragging their feet across the astroturf ought to do it. Oh no, there goes Tokyo.
