Magniwork
The US company Magniwork Inc. sells nonworking plans of a "magnetic generator" since early 2009 which allegedly creates energy to power the entire house out out nowhere. An energy source like oil, wind or sunlight is not required. They claim that a conspiracy of the big energy producing company keeps the general public from knowing about this technology. The plans of the alleged generator are distributed by a large number of websites and advertised using Google Adwords, Magniwork offers commisions for resellers.
However, it turns out that the device on the plans is nothing more than a so called Bedini circuit. This kind of Perpetuum Motion device was invented by the hustler John Bedini from Idaho(USA). Since a Perpetuum Motion device can never work according to the laws of thermodynamics[1] the claims are basically a scam.
Magniwork claims to have a 60-Days-Full-Money-Back-Guarantee, but ignores actual requests by customers to return the money[2]
After several websites started to warn about the Magniwork Scam, a number of alternative sites with different names like magnets4energy or magnet4power have appeared.[3][4]
The company "Magniwork Inc." has neither an address nor is it possible to determine the owners of the site. The website is registered anonymously and the domainholder is hidden. Payment for the worthless plans is handled through a company called Click Sales inc ("Clickbank") in Boise(Idaho).[5]
Rumors in the internet claim that a shady East European scientist and entrepreneur known as Igor Dobreski and his accomplice Vojdan Vrcakovski are the fraudsters behind Magniwork.[6]
The Plans
The plans can be ordered for 49 $ through several websites[7][8][9][10] (and more), and claim to allow the customer to build his own energy generator. After ordering the customer gets a 57 pages document, which contains a number of spelling errors. A thorough examination shows that the plans are based on the Perpetuum Motion designs of John Bedini and were copied without changes from the website of Jean-Louis Naudin[11].
The assembly instructions are difficult to follow and do not show how the device is set in motion. The rest of the document shows conventional tips for saving energy, which can be found on numerous websites and several books.
Magniwork claims that the device produces 24,5 Watt, which is (even if it did work) not sufficient to even power a single light bulb.[12]
Functional Principle
As functional principle a senseless pseudoscientific explanation is given:
- This power source is not predicated on a continuous flow of energy but predicated on the consistency of the transmutation process of the magnetic molecular structures within the Earth’s pressure flow.
