Project is right. What you are describing is perpetual motion, which thanks to a lot of factors that can't in reality be altered, is impossible.
The best example I can think of right now is if you take a tennisball and throw it at a wall. It bounces off that wall and goes to a wall parallel to the first wall. It will not just go back and forth continually, friction from the air, the wall absorbing force, gravity, and eventually the ground creating more friction will all slow the ball down.
If putting 95% of energy back into things recharged them to 100%, do you think we'd be having gas priced at 5$ to the gallon?
