"It was the German Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz during 1676-1689 who first attempted a mathematical formulation of the kind of energy which is connected with motion (kinetic energy). Leibniz noticed that in many mechanical systems (of several masses, mi each with velocity vi ),
∑mivi was conserved so long as the masses did not interact."

The correct finding is Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. One form of energy can be converted to other form. My comment is this we use some mechanism to convert the form of energy from mechanical to electrical or viseversa. We lose some energy due to friction. Therefore input will never be equal to output.
