Perendev-Power Website Downgraded
Touting an all-magnet magnet motor near market readiness (for 3 years
now), downgraded website now claims they are working in association with the
European space agency. PerenTech mothballed.

MUNICH GERMANY -- Mike Brady's claim to a working
magnet motor, capable of putting out enough torque to run a 30kW generator
continuously, has been a topic of interest for several years.
He has gone as far as releasing a video
of the motor in operation, but has not followed up with a skeptic-proof video
that shows a walk-around during acceleration, rather than just during
deceleration. He was going to do a big debut
on German television last Fall, but a series of Murphy's law type of problems
compounded, and that public launch never materialized.
Though the "30kW" capability is a more recent claim, surpassing
earlier claims of 5kW and then 10kW, Brady has been touting near-market
readiness for at least three years.
Around the time of the claim to a pending debut on German television, Brady had
come upon a sizeable amount of funding. Part of that was manifest in the
improved professional look of the Perendev-Power website.

The site also featured a fancy animated version of the motor in action.
Perhaps because these public demonstrations did not materialize, Brady felt he
had to show at least something. In the past few months, he has also been
touting several new lines of technology, as if they are in-house and in the bag,
from an energy spark plug to water treatment. In in reality, however, at
least one of them is held by a company out of Australia that had only discussed
a possible arrangement with Brady, and had not actually solidified anything in
contract form.
Presently, the Perendev-Power.com
website seems to have taken a step backward. (Click here for archive.org's
snapshots of perendev-power
as well as the previous domain, perendev.co.za,
over time.)
Perhaps another unpaid bill.
Another modification of note on the website is the
addition of the statement: "In Association with EADS
Space Transportation". In a telephone conversation, a
representative of EADS said they have not heard of Perendev. Perhaps the
word has just not gotten around within EADS yet. I've submitted and email
asking about this, and am awaiting their response.

Like so many other inventors, Mike Brady tends to talk far ahead of
himself. Part of that future vision in Brady's case includes dreams of
dripping wealth. Though my first encounters with him gave me the
impression of a person with an altruistic drive to help the planet, since that
time it seems more apparent to me that for him, money and fame have become the
primary driving factors. He expects to be paid today as if his device
actually performs like he says it does, when in fact he has proven time and
again to be misrepresenting just how far along he is.
He somehow seems to continue his work despite the clashes that inevitably occur
when the optimism of the inventor disconnects with the rubber-hits-the-road
practical nature of the investors and business partners. The further a
technology is from the mainstream, the more pronounced this phenomenon seems to
become. Those that are far enough away from the mainstream hardly get any
money in the first place. Because of his prototype claims, Mike has been
able to bridge that gap. That does not mean, necessarily, that he really
is just months away from market readiness. Anyone investing or considering
investing there should be aware of this.
I wish him well. Meanwhile, I've mothballed PerenTech.com,
to which Perendev.com points. However,
just because the team I pulled together three years ago to manufacture and
market Brady's device in North America wilted away a good many months ago due to
delays and broken promises from Brady, does not mean that Brady's device will
never materialize. It merely serves as a point of advice for any person or
party intending to engage.
Subsequent Developments
April 30, 2005
Mike Brady is taking the webmaster role himself at Perendev-Power.com, and is
in process of revising the site. Here are some new/revised pages of note:
- History
of Perendev - Mentions that Mike built a low-power magnet motor
using a wood frame back in 1969.
- Nitrogen
Motor - Claims to be capable of 60kW with unit 60" x
70". Says that this work is being done in conjunction with
European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company (EADS).
- Statement
of Motive - Mike explains why they are doing what they are
doing. "When you use our inventions we want you to have a good
feeling."
- Future
of Perendev - (Bear in mind that "being approached" in a
scouting probe, and "under contract" are two very different
things. A girl winking at you does not make her your wife.)
- Perendev
Team - Names & photos of Perendev principals.

Magnetic Motor Analogue Winds Down - Kieth Anderson says he saw the
Perendev motor running, and that his group has built two different working
magnetic motor designs, including one that is analogous to the Perendev, but

that he knows of no such test in the states, and that his tests have shown
no diminishing of the magnets. (FreeEnergyNews; Oct. 18, 2004)
