I'm not sure why you are assuming free or practically free energy would bypass any law of nature.

Thermodynamics mate. The assumption I'm making is that unless a new principle is discovered the devices coming forward are claims of perpetual motion devices, which does contradict thermodynamics and do not work.

They said similar things before the discovery of flight. It was also assumed you couldn't go faster than the speed of sound

Those are fairly different cases, having to do with the hypothetical maximum possible exploitation of a known principle rather than discovering a new one.
Also, the the hypothesis about the speed of sound was for human technology specifically, it was known that things can travel beyond the speed of sound ie. light for yonks

Basically, don't get your hopes up for the Tesla cultists to come forward with anything worthwhile.
