Is Amplification of Energy a Valid Concept in Ecology and Green Energy?

AI Thread Summary
The concept of "amplification of energy" is questioned as it appears to contradict the law of conservation of energy, which is a fundamental principle in science. The discussion highlights concerns about the reliability of user-generated content on wikis, particularly regarding topics in ecology and green energy. Many contributions on the referenced site are deemed to promote pseudoscientific ideas, including perpetual motion. The community emphasizes the importance of avoiding detailed debunking of such materials to prevent overwhelming discussions with misinformation. Overall, the validity of amplifying energy in ecological contexts is dismissed as lacking scientific merit.

I'm reading as a science hobbyist this site:
[crackpot link deleted]

It has many hyper links so there is further reading and the theme is ecology, green energy, inventions and stuff. What makes me feel revolting is this:

Did anyone ever heard, anywhere in any context of such a thing as "amplification of energy" or for that mater amplification of anything?

"Amplification of energy" would seem to be a violation of conservation of energy and it isn't something that has real meaning to scientists. The page is a wiki, which means all the content is generated by the users and some will be good and some bad. In this case, most looks bad. There is an awful lot of perpetual motion crackpottery being pushed there.

Also, please be advised, we don't do one-by-one debunkings of crackpot materials here. It is a waste of time and we would quickly become inundated by crackpots. So I need to remove the link to keep them from finding the thread.
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
