Almost 30 years ago my dad teamed up with some crackpot inventor who claimed he is close to perfecting a perpetual motion machine that is based on the judicious placement of permanent magnets on a rotor and stator. He just needs to do a few more meticulous tests to arrive at the perfect configuration.
The inventor died without ever perfecting the devise (surprise!). And today my dad is sitting in jail. Not for the (spurious) perpetual motion machine but for some other fraud. It's that kind of person who touts perpetual motion machines.
They're all swindlers and flim-flam artists. Pay them no coin, pay them no heed.
