I'm not an expert on this, but to my view, THERE ARE NO CLOSED LOOPS!
We live in a pressurized universe (aether) which cascades downward
to Gravity. Both of these forces penetrate EVERYTHING, therefore, we
must (re)discover the methods that allow us to translate these forces
into other forms of energy (through the unified field) or make them do
useful work. We will use the 'wheelwork of nature' to quote Tesla.

The Laws of Thermodynamics;
The laws of thermodynamics are fundamental truths based on the study of
energy exchanges between a system and its surroundings. The first law of
thermodynamics states that energy can only be converted from one state to
another, but cannot be created or destroyed. Energy referred to here
is that of work, heat, and internal energy. Work is done when a force
acts through a distance and the transfer of energy from the system to its
surroundings results. Heat is an energy transfer which takes place when
two regions of different temperatures are connected by a thermal
conductor. Internal energy refers to the energy stored in a body, and is
therefore equal to the heat flow into the system minus the work done by
the system on its surroundings.
"The second law of thermodynamics states that heat, on its own accord,
flows from regions of high temperatures to regions of low temperatures".
When applying the law to heat engines, it can be stated that no heat
engine can be 100% efficient.
When looking at the two laws together, it is noted that energy is being
constantly degraded; in a thermodynamic process there is always less
energy available for doing work, not more. This leads to the definition
of entropy which always increases as energy becomes less available for
doing work.(Eblen and Eblen, 1994, p. 185)
