Africa Race starts Portimão

The second edition of the biggest proof of all-terrain on the continent today's party in December towards Portugal to Dakar, now with the designation of Africa Eco Race.

The Eco Africa Race 2010, the greatest proof of all-terrain on African soil since the transfer of the legendary Dakar to South America, will from this year's Algarve, in this case from Lagos, where they will be made to the technical and administrative scrutineering . The choice of the beautiful Algarve town was due largely to the affinity with motor sport, very encouraged with the construction of the Algarve International Circuit, where this first year held several international events in particular motor sport. For the organization, the local fans are guaranteed an excellent reception to the teams and drivers participating in the Eco Africa Race 2010.

The technical and administrative scrutineering will commence on 27 December 2009 in Lagos, and the arrival in Dakar, Senegal's capital, is scheduled for January 10, 2010, on a test that promises to have lots of sand and emotion to the mix.

Upon completion of the development path of Africa Eco Race 2010 with the collaboration of Jose Maria Servia, René Metge, sporting director of competition, is back with a big smile on his face and a gleam in his eyes. The signs do not lie, "King René, who arrived as a rider to win the Dakar, drew a route rich in new features and challenges, where the driving skills and navigation can be decisive, and promises to stay in the memory of all competitors. The new route includes at least 65% of competition in the sand and decreases to a minimum the terrain.

Have you ever heard of Mrhimina, Greid lareich, or Tabrenkout Tenadi? Possibly not, but the Africa Race 2010 Eco transports you there, through the various stages of losing my breath. Despite thousands of miles it has traveled throughout his life, Rene Metge continues to surrender to the beauty of the African continent, being extremely pleased with preparations for next season's competition from all-terrain "I'm completely satisfied satisfied with the way we set. We got a good balance between navigation and driving on routes that are sometimes surprising. Our aim was to balance the scale and difficulty of steps, reducing the length of the connecting sections and arranging several special steps to camp directly in the camps.

In the sector of Morocco, more particularly in the north, we tried to reduce the most damaging sectors as much as possible. Along the way, about 65% of the steps will take place on sand dunes. I must confess that we have gone through some landscapes extraordinároas ... Africa continues to be Africa and will always be able to make you dream. Since Nador Dakar, once again, the competitors will be able to demonstrate that this is true. "

The broadcast will be provided by several European channels, which will feature daily updates of the race. In France, the channel Direct 8 Sport + and will be official partners of the Africa Eco Race 2010, broadcasting daily programs with the best moments and weekly summaries. Countries like Portugal, Spain, Italy, Poland and Belgium have also confirmed the transmission of similar programs on the competition.

Magniwork Energy internet scam



Internet fraudsters are raking in thousands of dollars a day with an elaborate scam selling magnetic perpetual motion machines that are claimed to produce infinite free energy.

Since spring this year an operation called Magniwork has been selling a $50 DIY guide to building a perpetual motion device at home. On their web-site the fraudsters claim the materials are available in any local hardware store for less than $100. One estimate puts sales of the guide as high as 5,000 copies a month, making the scam worth up to $3m a year.

The claims for Magniwork are advanced via an extensive Google advertising campaign, and a network of blogs, web-sites and reviews endorsing the product. They are given further credibility by a clip of film from Sky News Australia about plans for a similar product made by a legitimate if optimistic research company called Lutec. Lutec patented its technology in 19 countries in 1999, but the product has still not seen the light of day. Off-Grid has discovered that the clip is over 8 years old.

Perpetual motion machine

Magniwork which describes its product as ‘a magnetic power generator’ claims to have invented a revolutionary off-grid power source that uses magnets to “power itself and create energy by itself, without requiring solar energy, heat, water, coal or any kind of resource.” The web-site promises the device will generate perpetual energy which will “fully power your home for free.”

However even the idea of such a device is dismissed by trained physicists. “The little explanation they give on their website makes no sense to me,” said Gunnar Pruessner, a lecturer in physics at Imperial College London. “For starters it breaks with all we know about quantum physics since Dirac, which says that we cannot tap into zero point fluctuations or virtual particles.”

Priceless IP

He observed that if the claims were true, they would mark the biggest advance in science ever. “It would bring a world-wide socio-economic revolution with incalculable political consequences. So you have to ask why are they scuzzing around selling their priceless IP (intellectual property) for a few dollars?”

Made in Macedonia

The site gives no way of contacting Magniwork -other than to order the guide. But its legal disclaimer reveals that despite the .com web address which suggests a US-based company, Magniwork is in fact located in Macedonia, a tiny republic on the northern border of Greece in Europe. “This Agreement shall all be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of Macedonia applicable to agreements made and to be performed in Macedonia,” it reads. It has similarly proved difficult to identify the individuals behind the scheme. But one researcher claims to have written to the site’s web-master who referred in his reply to a man simply called “Igor”, the manual’s publisher.

Kernel of truth

Angry customers admit that the guide does contain kernels of truth. “Some of the suggestions in the e-book can reduce your home power consumption. For example, checking for air leaks, have better home insulation, servicing your air-conditioning unit or heate etc,”wrote one. But is it essentially amateurish and misleading, they say. “The whole “document” is 57 pages long and looks like something a kid in high school put together. The final “generator” is basically a magnet that is 2″ high sitting on a turntable that is 4″ high! They claim that its output is 24.5 Watts! That is 1/100th of what my house uses when the AC is on. It wouldn’t put out enough power to light up a standard light bulb,“ wrote another angry blogger. Fraudulent

Alternative energy expert Sterling D. Allan founder of The New Energy Congress has examined Magniwork’s claims. “Most of the 50+ page manual contains energy conservation tips that are based on well-established principles,” he said. But he points out that plans for the device are freely available elsewhere, they are based on other people’s work and he claims to have tried to contact people offering testimonials, without success. “The wording on their site still gives the reader the idea that the plans will result in a working free energy device but that is not the case. Such representation is fraud,” he concluded.

Although highly implausible, the idea of somehow harvesting magnetic power has intrigued scientists for over a century. It was first suggested by pioneering physicist Nicola Tesla in the nineteenth century. Australian company Lutec is still trying to perfect such a device. And U.S based based Magnetic Power Inc, headed by Mark Goldes, has claimed to be on the verge of launching a ‘Magnetic Power Module’ for at least six years. There is no suggestion that either Lutec or MPI are part of the scam.
