Stirling D Allan: “This is Fraud” Internet fraudsters are raking in thousands of dollars a day with an elaborate scam selling magnetic perpetual motion machines that are claimed to produce infinite free energy.
Since spring this year an operation called Magniwork has been selling a $50 DIY guide to building a perpetual motion device at home. On their web-site the fraudsters claim the materials are available in any local hardware store for less than $100. One estimate puts sales of the guide as high as 5,000 copies a month, making the scam worth up to $3m a year.
The claims for Magniwork are advanced via an extensive Google advertising campaign, and a network of blogs, web-sites and reviews endorsing the product. They are given further credibility by a clip of film from Sky News Australia about plans for a similar product made by a legitimate if optimistic research company called Lutec. Lutec patented its technology in 19 countries in 1999, but the product has still not seen the light of day. Off-Grid has discovered that the clip is over 8 years old.
Perpetual motion machine
Magniwork which describes its product as ‘a magnetic power generator’ claims to have invented a revolutionary off-grid power source that uses magnets to “power itself and create energy by itself, without requiring solar energy, heat, water, coal or any kind of resource.” The web-site promises the device will generate perpetual energy which will “fully power your home for free.”
However even the idea of such a device is dismissed by trained physicists. “The little explanation they give on their website makes no sense to me,” said Gunnar Pruessner, a lecturer in physics at Imperial College London. “For starters it breaks with all we know about quantum physics since Dirac, which says that we cannot tap into zero point fluctuations or virtual particles.”
Priceless IP
He observed that if the claims were true, they would mark the biggest advance in science ever. “It would bring a world-wide socio-economic revolution with incalculable political consequences. So you have to ask why are they scuzzing around selling their priceless IP (intellectual property) for a few dollars?”
Made in Macedonia
The site gives no way of contacting Magniwork -other than to order the guide. But its legal disclaimer reveals that despite the .com web address which suggests a US-based company, Magniwork is in fact located in Macedonia, a tiny republic on the northern border of Greece in Europe. “This Agreement shall all be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of Macedonia applicable to agreements made and to be performed in Macedonia,” it reads. It has similarly proved difficult to identify the individuals behind the scheme. But one researcher claims to have written to the site’s web-master who referred in his reply to a man simply called “Igor”, the manual’s publisher.
Kernel of truth
Angry customers admit that the guide does contain kernels of truth. “Some of the suggestions in the e-book can reduce your home power consumption. For example, checking for air leaks, have better home insulation, servicing your air-conditioning unit or heate etc,”wrote one. But is it essentially amateurish and misleading, they say. “The whole “document” is 57 pages long and looks like something a kid in high school put together. The final “generator” is basically a magnet that is 2″ high sitting on a turntable that is 4″ high! They claim that its output is 24.5 Watts! That is 1/100th of what my house uses when the AC is on. It wouldn’t put out enough power to light up a standard light bulb,“ wrote another angry blogger. Fraudulent
Alternative energy expert Sterling D. Allan founder of The New Energy Congress has examined Magniwork’s claims. “Most of the 50+ page manual contains energy conservation tips that are based on well-established principles,” he said. But he points out that plans for the device are freely available elsewhere, they are based on other people’s work and he claims to have tried to contact people offering testimonials, without success. “The wording on their site still gives the reader the idea that the plans will result in a working free energy device but that is not the case. Such representation is fraud,” he concluded.
Although highly implausible, the idea of somehow harvesting magnetic power has intrigued scientists for over a century. It was first suggested by pioneering physicist Nicola Tesla in the nineteenth century. Australian company Lutec is still trying to perfect such a device. And U.S based based Magnetic Power Inc, headed by Mark Goldes, has claimed to be on the verge of launching a ‘Magnetic Power Module’ for at least six years. There is no suggestion that either Lutec or MPI are part of the scam.

For those who don’t believe in perpetual motion you may want to “look up” and behold the universe which seems to be in perpetual motion and delivering it’s energy freely to us: Solar radiation being one example. I have no doubt there are scams out there but try to keep an open mind…we haven’t discovered everything.
Howard Johnson received a patent by demonstrating a working model.

Can somebody just explain in simple words. Is magniwork a scam or not?
Here it is, in simple words, they are charging a lot of money for info you can find free on line, do a Google search and look on YouTube, you’ll find plenty of FREE info about this.

OMG!!! We need to get these “scamers”, Any body recall what common sense is? Yeah let’s involve lawyers so they can make a few bucks off of this issue also.
Any person who has the education, knowledge skills and recources to attempt and believe he
will sucessfully achieve building machines like these. Won’t need to buy a $50.00 “set of plans” to construct it. Do you really think these are blueprints for fifty bucks?
Hey I got a bridge I’m trying to unload. Cheap!
If you spent more of your time educating yourselves ,and just look at what has been posted here and the time to do it, all over fifty bucks? that’s not even a half a tank of gas. Wow! now that’s a scam.
The scamers are the ones who have our government bail out multi-billion dollar companies after screwing you out of alot more than fifty bucks.
Talk about wasting energy!
And to be sure to not discredit the genius of inventive minds and what really showed me the “validity” (sarcasm intended) of all this rable rousing is there isn’t anybody posting that they built a device like this or anything similar and can prove that it will never work. Oh my ,this looks to hard to do!
Are you also the same people that bought “Sea Monkeys” buy mail order out of the back of comic books? Right next to the x-ray glasses. Any body here in the market for cases of dehydrated water? Why isn’t there any posts about your own DYI off the grid experiences? Good Grief ! I’m outta here and won’t be back.
Think first then get smart it really doesn’t hurt.
I was able to get my money back. It took a couple of weeks. I received an email from them that was very similar to Comment Number 3 by Lewis Jenkins.
I recently found another site that offers several plans such as a fuelless engine (uses a battery to run and is credited with Over Unity to run a house if you up size it from their plans, The plans say you can build a unit from 1-350 hp) The Price is $70. I found a site to down load it for free. The plans seem to be very informative but a lot of the information is beyond me. The original site is
https://www.fuellesspower.com/4_EngineFREE.htm
Anyone read this set of plans or tried to build them?
I am 63 and many years ago i watched a prog on BBC called Tomorrows world . Two experiments stuck in my mind . A pump that circulated used engine oil and cleaned it in the process and a man holding a wand with what looked like recording tape on it like a cheerleaders pompom, when this was shaken it generated an electrical current enough to power a small toy electric train. I have seen nothing of this amateur technology since. Did big business get scared and buy them out.
PS; The marketing for “Gas4Free” seems to be very similar in character to that of the MagniWork.
I searched that site; nice one, but nothing came up about generators of any but the standard types. Can you offer more specifics about what you saw?
Thanks for confirming my suspicions about the Magniwork scenario. As a teacher of college Physics, I, and probably most folks are aware that no has or ever will invent a perpetual motion machine. The presence of so many “reviewing” web sites which also provide links to the reviewed product should be a tipoff to potential fraud, anyway. And why would a credible reviewer violate the principles of unbiased and impartial reporting? They don’t.
The continually growing amount and variety of sleaze in the market place is mind blowing. I wonder where our species would and could be if the thieves and liars of the world channelled that energy constructively.
………..Nah!!!!!
Ahh…to bad you cannot do your homework properly and throughly investigate this matter. If you had of done your research properly, you would know that the 57 page e-book is a fraud that has been perpertrated to give the company and the product a bad name; with the genuine e-book from magniwork being 143 pages in length.
Stirling D Allan: “I am a foolâ€
and
Alexbenady: “I should be ashamed for putting out such a shoddy article containing misinformation and not thouroughly researching the material first”
Ah, folks, did you ever ask yourself the simple question — how does a sole inventor come up with this endless power source, as opposed to research universities around the world and R&D units of huge, billion-dollar companies?
The answer, simply, is that this is a scam. Not only does the genesis of this product strain credulity, it’s even more improbable that giant corporations would still be using fossil fuels to generate power if this device actually works!
Think, folks, think. It costs nothing to do so, and thinking and questioning may just save you quite a bit of money throughout your life.
I don’t think someone really build a magnetic power generator
In any case – the closest info I could found to build magnet generator was
this site: https://www.travelgood.com – can someone help here
and let me know if this is for real?
I wrote a review about magnet generator plans. they’re all crap. forget about never paying your electricity bill again. better save more energy to lower your bill and you will do our planet earth a favor, too.
hello:
I bought the plans from Magnets 4 energy, but I still have not been able to get the magnets through internet. I guess the only way to find out if this works is to try to build it. I saw a comment from gator that he built it. But it takes some effort to make the tools and parts. I am still very skeptical about it, I bought the plans for about $50 dollars (I think) with another friend, and he does not believe in it. If I ever see one running, I will place a new comment, but I doubt it, since if so, they would be selling it commercially already.
Infinity Turbine build your own ORC, yes this is a scam that you pay to attend a seminar to build an ORC using the infinity turbine. Just a scam
Infinity Turbine build your own ORC. This is the latest scam run by Infinity Turbines. Greg Giese certainly is a conman.
Infinity Turbine Scheme, watch out for this scam as well. Claims to have developed turbine for ORC. Just a fraud by Greg Giese.
As all of You agreed this 57 page pdf is a dreamers view of physics for starters, It mostly contains tips to reduce energy wastage. The real construction part is with zero advanced physics. If this is real why they do not have a proper publication or a patent for this. Is any thing like this if true, which will clearly change the worlds present economy is sold at few dollars?
C Al Brown – guess you sat on yr hands when u had an opp 2 do something – ppl r being screwed daily with bad science and bulls~~~ whats new
Honestly, I’ve read a lot about it and I have seen all the schemes they have as well. I’m not sure if you can call it a scam since yes their scheme is kinda out of this world thing for most people but its still offering the info needed to build the thing. Also, they do refund there product so it also shows that they stand behind it.
Sorry but I’ve just seen way to many people calling out scams on almost anything they stumble on the web. I’ve seen some very good stuff out there that are being called scams just because people aren’t satisfied with it since they can’t build it or work upon it.
@gator
Can you please post a video of the device you build to youtube. I have messed with building this type of generators before and I have NEVER seen one that would spin by the magnet power alone. I understand that the power produced would be minimal, but I am more curious to see a machine actually spin continuously by magnet power alone.
Thanks
Can any one who has ordered these plans send me just to see what are they selling.
Anybody can advice us about ebm technology. As per as my understanding, they are selling licenses since 2001. We haven’t seen any power project yet. We heard about big manufacturing company has taken over the production. We still don’t know the real picture. They even don’t like to talk over the phone. Allen may have better knowledge. We like to see any updates. Thanks.

“ClickBank review every product that they sell, and it is dissapointing that, even though it seems to be generating a ton of money, they allow it on their market place.”
The clue is in the “generating a ton of money” bit. The fact is that ClickBank is promoting quite a number of schemes, which at best are unethical. They simply don’t care.
I approached them about it and they simply responded with instructions on how to find products to promote.
Use ClickBank with care, or avoid it altogether.
I would like to know why Clickbank doesn’t do anything about this. They must be asked of a lot of refund for this product and I’ve never seen so much negative and angry comments about a product online. There have been loads of people who have complaint about this magniwork product. I myself am pretty pissed off. I’m affiliate marketer and very new to it. I was told by another affiliate company that is pretty big, to promote this product. They gave me a lot of info I needed and I paid good money for it. I started a website and thought it was a good product without ever buying it myself. Silly me to trust others to do these researches. I’ve spent money on trying to promote a product that is clearly a scam and rubbish. What I don’t understand is how popular this product is within Clickbank and how many sales there has been. The refund rate got to be a lot for this.
I will never again trust anyone but myself to do these researches. I just want to say to anyone who bought this, to get your refund at Clickbank, it is no problem at all.
@Thomas…thats how most clickbank fraudsters work, they hope that you will get information overload and think that its your fault its not working. Although this particular product is a scam, i urge all readers not to dismiss magnetic generators, or free energy devices. there are working examples, do a search on youtube and you will find tons of videos documenting this stuff, some work, some dont, but its not all ‘scam’. cheers
Magniwork.com is the 15712:th largest site within .COM – which is quite a result. ClickBank review every product that they sell, and it is dissapointing that, even though it seems to be generating a ton of money, they allow it on their market place. What is difficult to understand is that with the ClickBank refund policy – how is it that anyone fails to ask for a refund. Must be the embarassment factor – eg people still believe that it works, but they just did not have the skills to build it correctly.
I was almost in to it! Thanks to all of you guys who had shared your thoughts and opinions about this so called “Magniworks”

THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT MAGNIWORK IS A SCAM SAVE YOUR MONEY AND CHECK IT OUT ON THE FREE POSTINGS OF THE BOGUS PLANS
BUT IF YOU REALLY INTERESTED LOOK UP TROY REED THIS GUY REALLY RATES https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNbJ1aew-BQ&feature=related
Too bad this link was removed for “terms of use violation,” meanwhie the internet is awash with this fraud. Too bad, I would have liked to have seen them for myself, but I’m not surprised the whistle blowers are censored while the crooks are protected.
Hi
I live in Ukraine where my wife and I run a small holding near the border with Romania.
As a small holder living in this neck of the woods, the biggest problem we’ve encountered has been in securing a consistent energy supply for our needs. The grid in these parts is not what it should be. We therefore suffer blackouts more frequently than most other regions. This can have a devastating effect on our poultry breeding program. So when I came across Magniworks on Click Bank, I was tempted to buy a copy of the manual. However, with limited resources to invest in new projects, I was obliged to carry out due diligence before making my purchase, and thank God I did.
Thanks to the review and comments on this site, I have decided not to purchase the Magniworks manual. I would sooner suffer the inconvenience of blackouts than lose money to a scam.
Thank you.
Thanks fellas, you just saved me £35. I was taken in for a little then…Glad I found this site !
