John Bedini
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Bedini of the Bedini Electronics company is an electrical engineer most widely known for the creation of the Bedini Audio Spectral Enhancer, an audio signal processor.[citation needed] He has filed patents for a number of audio technologies.[1][2][3][4] Additionally, on his personal Web site, Bedini has self-published a number of articles related to experimental methods for generating and transmitting electrical energy.

[edit] History
Bedini is one of many engineers[5] who claim to have designed or co-designed[6] machines that do not adhere to the first or second laws of thermodynamics, which relate to conservation of energy. Such inventions are generally considered perpetual motion machines and in principle impossible. Bedini has registered several patents for such a device.[7][8][9][10]
[edit] Products
[edit] Compact disc clarifier
Bedini's electronics company markets a compact disc "clarifier" which is purported to improve the audio and video of CDs and DVDs by spinning the discs whilst bathing them with "electromagnetic beams" prior to being played. CDs and DVDs are optical discs- they do not store information using electromagnetic effects. These claims have been controversial amongst audiophiles and were criticised by popular skeptic James Randi.[11][12]
[edit] Battery chargers/rejuvenators
In 2007, Bedini's Energenx company began distributing a line of battery charger/"rejuvenator" products,[13] which he claims do two things: 1. charge batteries using much less energy than traditional chargers, and 2. restore sulfated batteries to near-new condition. In November 2008, he began more heavily promoting these devices, claiming they have performed well.
