You mentioned here only the experiment of hooking two
clocks to the wheels of a car and thereby driving the
engine by the difference in their rates; and that is
the experiment to which I directed my comments. If you
are confused by your own post, that is hardly my problem.
Is there something I can do to make *my* point clearer
to you?

Stop winking and acknowledge a simple point, please:
there is *no* problem with conservation of energy in the
one experiment that you mention in this thread.
