no because of the law of conservation of energy

You can't , according to the thermodynamics theory (I don't know what number)ya so what was I talking about? Yes , According to the some law no. of the thermodynamics you can't multiply any type of energy , and the energy produced is always lesser than the energy used. It is a law of nature man you can't change. Perhaps you can if you supress or break space-time, but other wise you just can't.

Like the others said, "Conservation of energy"

Enter Einstein with his famous E=mc2, where E is is enery or work in Joules (J)
and mass is in kg. Speed of light is 3x10^8 m/s. So c^2=9x10^16 m2/s2.
This means every kg of mass *completely* converted to energy beocmes 9x10^16 kg(m2)/s2 or 9x10^16 J. This is an extremely enormous amount of energy equal to 25 billion kWh!

So the old law of physics, "conservation of energy" was spiffed up to read "Conservation of mass/energy" because when the sun or a nuclear reactor changes mass to energy, it dosen't violate that physical law.

Many people have tried, unsucessfully, to construct perpetual motion machines which put out more energy than they consume.
Heat always seeks to get out, and is very "clever" at doing so.
Energy, or "work" in physics is basically heat. Thermodynamics (thats "fancy" for "heat movements") describes this. Entropy (disorder) is always seeking to increase. So keeping energy in a useful conduit is harder than keeping bees in a hive.

There are all kinds of ways to get clean, "free" power, but in every case, you will find that the energy does not just appear. You can always trace it to some source.

Transformers multiply or divide voltage and current, but they can't multiply power, only transform it from low voltage/high current to high voltage/low current and back. Every time this happens, there is a small, but substantial (2-10%) loss in the amout of power left over. It still is worthwhile, because transmitting power over long distances is more efficient at low current (low amps, high voltage). The higher the current in a wire, the more energy is lost to heating that wire.

It is hoped by many people that we will be able to create fusion reactors which are commercially feasible. If that can be done, especially fusing heavy hydrogen (deuterium) with itself, we will have a practically inexhaustible, clean source of energy. Some people speculate that efforts to do so are deliberately sabotaged or covered-up by the oil/coal industry. This is a conspiracy theory for better or worse. What is certain, is that all the oil and coal could be put to better use in creating plastics. Chemists have often said that oil is "too valuable to burn."

before the answer, let me tell u , Power is never generated.

power is the rate of flow of energy. energy also can not be generated, but can be trasformed from one from to another.( ofcourse with some loss).

well, accepting that u mean to sam the electrical energy generated, it cannot be multiplied. or increased in the middle of its journey from generator to load. the rate of energy transfer that is power can definitely be multiplied as u like it with the requisite arrangements. such as increasing the area of the conductor and so on.

We can store it (at a loss), we can generate more efficiently (use less fuel), or we can conserve it. We cannot multiply it. You may be thinking of electrical transformers which can change the voltage up or down but even these have a loss associated with them.

we can amplify the power to a small extent
but this cant be done commercially

No.

But we should always conserve it.

Unfortunately it is not possible.
