I was thinking of a kind of teleporter common in science fiction: the door that when you enter, you pop out somewhere else. This kind of teleporter violates the first law of thermodynamics!
Energy cannot be destroyed or created. If we put two teleporting doors like this:
and arrange them so that a ball falling through the lower teleporter will go back up and continue to fall, the ball will fall faster and faster without bound, violating the 1st Law.
Another violation of the 1st Law:
If we put two doors like this between vertical walls:
and drop the top door down, the air in between the doors will be compressed. As there is no conceivable way the air can do work on the teleporters, eventually the pressure will approach infinity, an act obviously requiring more than the gravitational potential energy of the top door.
P.S. if anyone knows about it violating some other law, please reply to this post!
