Michael Brady claimed to have developed a permanent magnet motor called the Perendev motor. The author struck up a business relationship with Brady in 2002 to help launch the technology. While the author saw a video of the motor running, they were never able to get their own replica to work. Brady was later arrested for fraud after taking money from customers but not delivering products. The author is now sharing details about the Perendev motor design in hopes it may help others attempting to replicate it.

1. Revealing what I know about building the Perendev magnet
motor - National Breakthrough Energy
Having honored the NDA long after the term expired, given new unsettling developments I now
reveal blueprints, photos, and other insider information in hopes that it might help the many people
out there trying to replicate Michael Brady's all-magnet motor.
My Experiences with Mike Brady
Back in May of 2002, when I first began posting material online about free energy, one of the first
emails I received was from Michael J. Brady, then in Johannesburg, telling me about his all-magnet
motor. I struck up a friendship and business relationship with him that lasted off and on since then,
starting out very serious.
He was going to fly to the U.S. to demonstrate his motor across the country, and I was helping to
both schedule those appearances and establish various business connections to launch the
technology into the marketplace. At least three different times he had plane tickets then had to
cancel, the last time being because the magnets were degaussing due to the aluminum material in
the rotor and stator creating eddy currents. So he changed out the material to polypropylene
(plastic), keeping the same aluminum frame.
In December of 2002, a couple of associates and I traveled to Johannesburg to see his motor, but we
couldn't get it operational in the week we were there. Two months later, on Feb. 21, 2003, he sent
us a video showing the unit rotating. It wasn't skeptic proof inasmuch as he doesn't do his walk-
around during acceleration, but it does have attributes of legitimacy, such as the rocking motion
during start-up and stopping as the magnets cog. I've always maintained that I believe that the video
was genuine, though I certainly understand why some would be skeptical about the possibility of a
cheater device behind the motor during acceleration.
We were poised to handle manufacturing and sales in the U.S., but his high price tag and lack of
producing evidence of operation and patent information chilled our negotiations, though I did come
back to the negotiations-discussion table with him a few times thereafter. We purchased
http://Perendev.com, which we still own, forwarding to our coverage at PESWiki.com We even tried
to do a 1/4-scale replication of the motor, with his permission, based on his blueprints, but couldn't
get it to run.
On June 29, 2004, he gave me permission to post that video, which has now been seen by millions
around the planet. The one I uploaded to YouTube is the most-watched video of the 128 videos I've
posted at PESNetwork so far.
Since that time, the Perendev motor has become perhaps the best-known magnet motor technology,
though thousands of people are chasing the objective of getting a working magnet motor to market.
In 2005, Brady moved to Germany and shifted his focus from the magnet motor to an
electromagnetic version he allegedly came up with, announcing in Feb. of 2006 that a 300 kW
electromagnetic motor was available for sale.
On Feb. 17, 2007, in a one-hour interview with him on our Free Energy Now radio show, he said that
he had been in production since July of 2006, and that they were manufacturing around 20 to 30

2. units per month. He also said he would open source the magnet motor technology that gave rise to
the electromagnetic variation. That never happened. Nor were we able to find anyone who had
received a manufactured unit. Brady didn't even have a photo on his hard drive that he could send
us when we asked for one.
He took a lot of people's money (half down for purchase), but I don't know of anyone who actually
received a unit.
Why I'm Telling All, After All These Years
Now, in July of 2010, given that
Brady has been arrested for embezzling at least 60 German customers (not to mention the many
other paying customers from other countries); while Brady was living the posh life in
Switzerland;Perendev, the company, has closed its doors;The design was most likely pirated from a
Brazilian patent from 1989, now expired;The NDA I signed has long expired;I keep getting inquiries
about details on the motor;
I have therefore decided to go ahead and publish as much key information as I have about the motor
that might not already be available from other sources. The third point above is the primary reason
that I no longer feel the need to keep a lid on what I know.
I don't think replicating it exactly as I describe will result in a working unit, but there may be some
info that may help those of you who are giving it a try no matter what.
I know of at least one person (not yet verified, but circumstantial evidence is strong) who has been
able to replicate a variation of the Perendev motor and has been powering a modern house with it
for nearly 9 months now with no problems.

I'd love to see this technology validated and introduced to the public for practical use. I wouldn't
mind being part of that endeavor, but nor would I mind if someone did it without me. I primarily
want to see it make a difference on the planet. I hope this info helps.
