Open letter to Clickbank regarding Magniwork scam involvement -- Warning of
possible legal action - For the past year, Magniwork and others have been using
Clickbank to sell $49 DIY plans for a device alleged to cost less than $100 in
parts and which can power a house. Clickbank continues to allow this to go on,
despite our warnings that the plans are bogus and that we've received no
evidence to support the claim. (PESN; May 24, 2010)
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.]

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)

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, doe 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)

It looks very similar to the device currently under discussion in that it has a
ramp of magnets with a discontinuity at the full cycle.
Are they the same scam?
Where can one read about the "well known scam"?

The video at this site clearly shows accelleration.

That pretty much rules out the "low friction" argument.

According to standard physics, it is impossible to design a magnetic
motor that won't get stuck after a few turns. Therefore, questions
about how much was energy was needed to assemble the device distract
from the real significance of the demonstration. Either this is a hoax
OR the device is really able to overcome the sticking problem and turn
indefinitely.
