[edit] Looking for ads
Did someone find the published advertisement in Nature? In my search I cannot find it as published, and I have the impression that Marinov's intended publication in Nature has been rejected. Is it so? Can someone provide a copy from Nature with the exact advertisement? Danko Georgiev MD 11:12, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
This guy was hysterical! Bonus points for anyone who can find which issue of Nature his advertisements were in! brain 07:59, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

(writing, "An unusual electric motor designed by Stefan Marinov seems to show some deficiencies in current electromagnetic theory. The motor, which is made up of a magnetic rectangular torus inside a metal ring, was found to rotate even if traditional electromagnetic theory predicts that it would not.")

(writing, "A man named Stefan Marinov tried to design and construct a motor that reportedly self-accelerated and violated the law of energy conservation. The motor, which integrated a reversed motor and a torus, supported a number of inadequacies regarding electromagnetic theory.")
- isn't it interesting that these two references have very similar articles, on the same page, on the same issue, of two separate volumes? Maybe they are actually the same issue with a typo or something? Can you remember where these came from so I can check? brain 06:26, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
- There is a Mexican Olympic diving coach named Stefan Marinov.

[edit] Trying to help
Hello I am trying to help to clear up the mess in the article. The biography can be recovered by Bulgarian sources, which are reliable, and so I have just filled the correct birth date, etc. Also I have seen some bias as if Marinov is without whatsoever contributions to physics, yet I have full access to reasonable papers publsihed by the "early Marinov" that appeared in reputable journals. Possibly my guess is there is "late Marinov" where all these works on free energy appeared, but they have not been published in peer-reviewed journals. So I would like to suggest to divide the article into two halfes - early vs. late Marinov. As it happens in science many other scientists have such periods of good contributions to science, and late in life due to some disease to claim exactly the opposite of their early science, or push to the extreme their theories etx. One such example is Rudolf Virchow who has brilliant contributions to medicine, yet never believed in Darwinian evolution of humans from monkeys, and did a lot of things to stop/oppose/rebut the evolutionists.
