Power Companies Hate This!

  • Featured: Buyer Beware >
    "Power Companies Hate This!" = Scam - It seems we are seeing these ads nearly everywhere you go on the web nowadays. They show an image of a good-looking, off-the shelf, legitimate device that has nothing to do with what is being sold in the plans you are to download for a fee in the region of $49 to $99 USD.

Magniwork

  • Electromagnetic > Magniwork >
    Magniwork Energy internet scam - Internet fraudsters are raking in thousands of dollars a day with a scam selling plans for what alleges to be an electromagnetic free energy machine capable of powering a house. One estimate puts sales of the guide as high as 5,000 copies a month, making the scam worth up to $3m a year. (Off-Grid; Oct. 8, 2009) [We've not yet received a scrap of evidence supporting the claims.]
  • Featured: Buyer Beware > Electromagnetic > Magniwork >
    ACTION: Report Magniwork (Scam) Ads to Google and Clickbank - Easy steps presented for you to be able to lodge a complaint about the fraudsters who are selling plans for what alleges to be an inexpensive electromagnetic free energy machine capable of powering a house, though no supporting evidence has been given. Let's stop these hucksters who prey on the free energy believers and give the field a bad name. (PESWiki; Nov. 5, 2009)
  • Buyer Beware > Electromagnetic > Magniwork >
    Lutec Disavows Magniwork - Lutec posted the following notice on their home page in a marquee text: [all caps] "Be Warned - 'Magniwork' is not related in any way to Lutec Australia, does not sell plans for our equipment and is not authorized to use our videos on their site!" (PESWiki; Nov. 10, 2009)
  • Featured: Electromagnetic > Bedini SG >
    Magniwork free energy plans = bogus claim; say they'll remedy that - Magniwork has been selling a set of plans for a free energy device they say could be scaled to power an entire house. However, it turns out that the device is nothing more than the Bedini SG circuit, which, though interesting, has never been embodied in a self-looped system with energy left over for practical use. They've apologized and removed the Bedini stuff. (PESWiki; June 2, 2009)

Tesla's Secret

  • Featured: Tesla > Buyer Beware >
    "Tesla's Secret" - A fool and 47 dollars are soon parted! - An online affiliate program called, "Tesla's Secret" is selling plans for a device they claim can free you from the power grid. Their technology has nothing to do with Tesla's work, and is basically no better than a crystal radio set. It works, but is nothing to get excited about, and is certainly not going to power your home. (PESWiki; April 4, 2011)

Other Alt. Energy Plans

  • Electromagnetic >
    LEGO electromagnetic motor hoax by Tom A - In February of 2009, Tom Altman(?) posted a video on YouTube showing magnets around a wheel with an inductive coil supposedly firing from the incoming magnetic flux to kick the magnet along. It turns out, though, that a hidden capacitor, pre-charged-was assisting the kick. (PESWiki; Sept. 19, 2009)
  • Calloway Magnet Motor - Says that after two decades of finding out what won't work, he is ready to divulge how to build an operational all-magnet motor. Ends up being an intentional wild goose chase. (PESN; Feb. 10, 2006)
  • MXLO Magnetic Motor Plans - Of 14 known independent replications from the MXLO plans, not one working device has been produced yet. Plans are neither easy nor adequate as claimed on the site.

Inteligentry / Plasmerg

  • Noble Gas Engines > Plasmerg >
    Blog: Inteligentry Raided by FBI - On March 6, 2013, more than a dozen FBI agents raided John Rohner's Inteligentry office complex in Vegas, taking documents, equipment, machines and freezing their bank account. Rohner claims his group was ready to give the long-awaited demonstration of a working engine [highly improbable] at the Stockholder's meeting this month, but now, thanks to the raid, their company is closed until further notice. (PESWiki / PureEnergyBlog; March 7, 2013)
  • Featured / Buyer Beware: Noble Gas Engines > PlasmERG >
    Part I: My Concerns About Inteligentry - Here I enumerate several concerns, including the perpetual postponement of manufacturers being shown how to run their engines; encouraging people to buy stock to get their license so the money doesn't go in escrow; John's ignoring great suggestions for the technology and the company; a timeline that evinces a lack of understanding of the steps involved in taking something to market. (PESN; August 21, 2012)
  • Featured / Buyer Beware: Noble Gas Engines > PlasmERG >
    Inteligentry Poised for Egg-on-the-Face at PowerGen - While no one would be more pleased to see a successful demonstration of a noble gas engine at the Power-Gen conference in Florida from Dec. 11-13 than I would, I predict no such demo, with John Rohner giving some kind of excuse, which maybe half of his followers will accept and remain supportive. (PESN; December 10, 2012)
  • Featured / Buyer Beware: Noble Gas Engines > PlasmERG >
    Psychic Reading of John Rohner — Physical Danger - Q. has he ever had one of these engines running? A. He has, but has had a lot of setbacks; things didn’t go right; has to re-do, breaking down, re-do, seeing what went wrong... Lets ego get in the way of admitting where he's at. In discussing, he jumps ahead of where he's actually at. Certainly not ready to go into production. The configuration as it is could be emitting dangerous fields...

  • Featured: Buyer Beware / Suppression > Electrolysis > Boyce >
    Boyce chip implanter suspect identified - Bob Boyce first noticed what turned out to be the VeriChip implant that caused his malignant tumor when he was working with former associate, Bob Potchen.
