You cannot create energy. You can simply convert energy from one form to another, for example potential energy to kinetic energy - dropping a ball, when the ball is released it has potential energy which is converted into kinetic energy as it falls (plus some heat energy). The total energy of a system has to remain constant, this principle, the conservation of energy, was first postulated in the early 19th century, and applies to any isolated system.
