I lived about 30 miles north of a small town in Mississippi named "Wiggins". Why do I mention this? Because a very educated physicist lived there, and he made national news more than once with his "perpetual motion machine". Which, as we all know is a machine that at _least_ breaks even in the energy used/energy produced. And most are trying to build such a gadget that more than breaks even. _and_ violates the conservation of matter/energy laws of physics. I don't believe it is possible to add eval at no cost. Some things might be addable at minimal cost, of course. But many things have a _huge_ cost if you want to know them.
