Will this be the start of world peace or will George Bush start a war cause his perpetual motion machine is smaller than Vladimir Putins?

Probably is, loads of companies like that.
Would mean that law no longer holds if it was real though.

Doesn't someone 'crack it' every day and then nothing comes of it?

things get proved wrong all the time though as technology increases. So it could well be real. Will be interesting to see though, as the company will ruin all its credability if its just a PR stunt.
Wasnt it recently shown that one of Eintein's theorys was wrong due to the fact that light travelled faster at the beginning of the big bang so therefore its not always a constant?

Thats great but its only useful if the energy can be increased, harnessed for using effectively.
People have made dosens of free energy devices, problem is it doesnt create sufficiant energy to power anything useful.

I've had the idea of making a site as in the style of a company investigating this or time travel or something...
and showing a video of a 'prototype' etc and asking for public funding
Obviously i'll never release anything, but will take the money to the bank.

Who's going to give you money. At my uni we have about 5 people a year wanting funding off of us because they think they have cracked perpetual motion. They get told to piss off

The difference between fusion and perpetual motion is that fusion is technically viable. In fact, a fusion power station is being built at the moment.
