the energy released by the spring is definitely greater than the energy required to wind the spring, if you take the rotational energy slowly...

It is a mere spring that is the perpetual device, along with two motors or generators. The following is the reason why: When the spring is all "cranked" and has become tight, the energy output to a motor or generator is extremely high, rotating at nearly 1000 to 3000 RPM's, depending on how it is geared. So, the tight and constant pressure from the cranked spring is essentially creating abundant energy by rotating a motor or generator while slowly unraveling the spring. Once the spring has become lax and weak, which may take quite some time after all the energy the spring has contributed, we have a second motor, whose job is to crank the spring back to it's small and tightened state. Now this second motor, if you can tell, takes very little energy in tightening the spring all the way back to it's small and tightened state. Given that the first motor or generator has spun for quite a long time and has created quite a lot more energy than it takes to wind it back from a lax state to a small and tightened state, this would mean that the spring is capable of creating more rotational energy (or just energy for that matter), than it requires for the second motor to crank the spring from a lax state to a small and tightened state. Therefore, there is an output of more energy from this system than it's input of energy. Quite a simple perpetual motion device, capable of providing free and everlasting energy, with virtually no smog or pollution. Now, I am not in it for the "money" here, but I would like to be eligible to win the nobel prize for such a discovery. Free energy without pollutants, and perpetual motion elegantly solved, sounds like a big deal, and I hope that it helps the world and all humanity for all the years to come (by that I mean I hope humanity benefits from my perpetual motion energy device forever), and that this is why I am interested in winning the nobel prize. If you are interested in this idea for monetary reasons or philanthropic reasons, and would like to help me achieve my goal of the nobel prize, please contace me in a way that doesn't put you at risk, and we may discuss this further. Thanks. Only serious and professional replies please.
