Yes. The only problem is that we more and more realize that the second law of thermodynamics is applicable only to a sub-set of physical mechanisms.
More recent theories, backed up by factual observations, tend to show that these laws might not be "universal" but rather applicable to precice contexts". Even in the thirties and twenties, many papers were written questionning the universality of the laws of thermodynamics.
New "overunity" experiments, i.e. devices that produce significantly more energy than you put into are coming up all over the place. The only problem is that nobody understands why they work, but word they do. Devices having outputs in the tens of kilowatts are operating. Enough to heat a few houses in the worst of canadian winters! It all started with cold fusion and the corrupted pseudo-disproving of Pons and Fleishmann experiment. Nowadays, overunity devices are using different setups and operating principles than the original Pons and Fleishmann electro-chemical setup are producing free energy all over the world. Yet, the science establishment denies all of that. The whole of the conventional energy industry is concurrently trying to discredit the research about it and independently research it on it's own.
The underground scientific community is well and extremely alive.
