*Bedini has invented the "Audio Spectral Enhancer", a device that allegedly improves low-frequency signals in electro-acustic systems. He filed several patents for this technology.<ref>US5,748,745 (1998-05-05) Bedini, John C., Analog vector processor and method for producing a binaural signal</ref><ref>US5,487,057 (PDF version) (1996-01-23) Bedini, John C., Apparatus and method for reducing electronic relaxation noise present information recording medium</ref><ref>US5,464,442 (PDF version) (1987-02-17) Bedini, John C., Anti-copy system</ref><ref>US5,455,785 (PDF version) (1985-11-26) Bedini, John C., Monaural to binaural audio processor</ref>

*The "Compact disc clarifier" is a further invention, which is sold through his company. He claims that the CD clarifier improves the quality of sound and videos on DVD by bathing it in an electromagnetic field. The concept of this clarifier is physically unsound. The CD clarifier was criticized by experts because of that.<ref>[http://www.randi.org/jr/082704gluton.html#4 Commentary: A Murky Clarification]</ref> Bedini Electronics Inc. changed their marketing claims, the CD clarifier allegedly removes electrostatic charges since then. This is bogus too, since a DVD is an optical device.
*The "Compact Disc Clarifier" is a further Bedini invention sold through his company. He claims that the CD clarifier improves the quality of sound and videos on DVD by bathing it in an "electromagnetic field". The device, however, lacks a physically comprehensible concept and thus came under criticism by experts.<ref>[http://www.randi.org/jr/082704gluton.html#4 Commentary: A Murky Clarification]</ref> Bedini Electronics Inc. later on proclaimed the device allegedly removed electrostatic charges jamming the rendition. This happens to be irrelevant since CDs and DVDs are scanned optically.
*Bedini also invented battery chargers which consume less energy then they charge into a battery or refresh battery life. Both claims are unsound and violate laws of physics.
*Bedini also invented miracle battery chargers which allegedly consume less energy then they charge into a battery. He also sells battery refreshers. High pulsed currents are said to counter sulphation often occuring in spent lead acid accumulators.

On his private website <ref>[http://www.johnbedini.net Private Website John Bedini]</ref> construction plans for various kinds of [[Perpetuum Motion]] devices can be found which are claimed to create energie out of thin air.

Expires December 21, 2021</ref> "Patented" only means that it's been given a number by the US government, nothing more. It doesn't in any way endorse the product or idea, nor does it indicate that it works — at all.

Bedini's Free Energy Generators were e.g. promoted by German language [[Secret TV]] and by RAFÖG, a development fund for space energy.
