Mike Brady (behind) and Adolf Schneider

Michael James Brady (probably born 1949; also Mike Brady) is a South African businessman. Brady became known through his business activities, marketing allegedly working "magnet motors" through his company Perendev-Group (Perendev Power Developments Pty Ltd.).[1] This was supported by Adolf Schneider, publisher of the [[NET-Journal][2] as well as cheering articles in the esoteric-journal Raum & Zeit and on websites dedicated to "incredible things" of a Klaus Kasper, Johnsonville/Wellington in Neuseeland. Sterling Allan, founder of Pure Energy Systems Network Inc. (PESN) was also among Brady's supporters, he organized an USA trip for Brady to advertise his nonworking Perendev-Generators, was webmaster of "perendev.co.za" and domain holder of "perendev.com".

Brady worked 17 years for a secret police unit in South Africa before he called himself inventor and founded a company in Johannesburg with branches in Russia, Germany, Switzerland and Netherlands. A lawyer Hans Badenhorst is mentioned in connection with the company Perendev Power in Munich. According to the homepage of Perendev Power, Brady has invented a waterjet propulsion system, a positioning system for stolen cars and a battery charging system, but was duped by a competitor. Eventually he invented a magnet motor that used gravity to produce energy.

In 2004 Brady moved to Munich, to the exclusive residential area Grünwald. In 2007 he relocated to Switzerland, to the noble Wollerau at Lake Zurich[3], where he attracted attention in the neighbourhood of tennis professional Roger Federer due to his excessive lifestyle with a Maserati and several Ranger Rovers.

Accusations of fraud and arrest

Article in "Blick" April 14, 2010
Scamproduct "EMM-Motor" and uncritical description in NET-Journal[4]
Cheerful article in NET-Journal[4]

Norwegian citizen Torbjørn Homelien, of Aqua GEN AS, ordered a "free energy generator" from Perendev which was said to be able to produce an output of 6 kilowatts for an indefinite period of time. He transferred the amount of 6.000 US-Dollars and was advised the generator was going to be delivered two months later. Delivery did not materialize and no explanation was offered. Mr. Homelien managed to contact Mike Brady by phone, only to be put off several times. One excuse mentioned were alleged improvements currently implemented. Eventually, the client attempted to sue Perendev. He also reported to have received threatening phone-calls from Brady.[5]

There are also several persons in Germany who think that they were scammed by Brady/Perendev. A usergroup of Perendev-victims can be found at Yahoo, where they share their experiences.[6][7] According to German newspaper "Münchner Abendblatt", a total of 41 persons were cheated out of an overall amount of one million Euro by effecting payments to Perendev Power without receiving „free energy“ generators in return.[8] According to TZ-Munich 61 persons were scammed.[9]

The Munich Perendev Group subsidiary is not available by phone any longer. Brady defected to Wollerau, Switzerland (canton Schwyz) where he was arrested in his home on March 29, 2010 due to a warrant issued by Munich public prosecution (Munich I) for continued fraud and extradited to Germany. He was convicted to 5 years and 9 months in November 2010 for fraud in 36 cases and attempted fraud in 19 cases.[10]

Patents

Brady tried to patent his magnet-motor and got a temporary patent number for a "Permanent Magnet Machine". No patent was granted since the patent application had several flaws and the working principle was considered to be perpetual motion. According to the patent application repelling forces of magnets should power the motor.[11][12]

Mindful readers of the "patent" will find strong semblance to a patent of an undisclosed South American inventor, which was registered in 1990 and used "keramic magnets" but was not followed through since it came to loses due to degaussing. This inventor reported calls from an interested party from South Africa.

Brady offered it for 500.000 US-Dollar to investors in spite that the patent was not granted, so that they could market the claimed applications in USA.
