You absolutely can NOT violate the laws of physics.
A friend at work told me about someone who drove off the freeway and "removed himself from the gene pool" and said, "He violated the laws of physics." I reminded him that that person did NOT violate the laws of physics. He followed them to the letter! He only attempted to violate them.

And, as stated before, it's NOT possible to get 1 HP from 100 W. That would violate the laws of physics, and no one has ever been able to violate them.
