Take for instance putting the large hadron collider in space at a near absolute zero where you never have to put energy in to cool down the system. The LHC takes 10 GJ to run and the total energy of the two beams is 724 MJ. [1] Since the power to run the system never experiances resistence, would you have to pump power in to keep the system going. If not, doesn't it defy the conservation of energy?
