Do we have the technology to transform mechanical energy, like that of a bouncing ball, into electricity? If so, would bouncing an incredibly large/dense “bouncy ball”, between two such surfaces, with a high initial rate of speed, in space, work to generate more energy than was used to start the ball movement.
I figured the two “pads” for converting the energy would be across from each other within a ring, as to prevent a loss of the ball’s inertia when bouncing
The ball would bounce between the two surfaces for an incredibly long time creating energy everytime it does so.
I know its obviously not a perpetual motion machine for a number of reasons, but could it potentially work for long enough to create more energy in the end than it took to run it.
Im no scientist but thought it was a cool idea. Please lmk if i missed something

I dont understand why all of the energy is lost to heat and sound?
Again forgive me if im off base, but this guy sounds like hes saying the bounce of ball loses no momentum in space. So, why in my idea would the ball not bounce between the two surfaces and continually convert more energy into electricity. Also, it doesnt take a lot of energy to fire a small object at high rates of speed.
