Intellect isn't the issue. Rather, evidence is. We do have good reasons to think that magic energy machines won't work, but I for one am certainly willing to change my mind if good evidence is provided. Good evidence means an experiment that can be independently tested and inspected, and does actually show true energy generation that continues for some reasonable time. For something that would necessarily overturn physics if it worked, nothing less would be acceptable.
