free energy. In 1997 he self-published experimental results that confirmed classical electromagnetism and disproved that a machine constructed by Marinov himself could be a source of perpetual motion.[1][2] Devastated by the negative results, he committed suicide[3] in Graz, Austria
on 15 July 1997.

Life and education

Marinov was born on 1 February 1931 in

communists.[4]
In 1948 he finished Soviet College in Prague, then studied physics at the Czech Technical University in Prague and Sofia University. He was an Assistant Professor of Physics from 1960 to 1974 at Sofia University. In 1966–67, 1974, and 1977 he was subject to compulsory psychiatric treatment in Sofia because of his political dissent. In September 1977 Marinov received a passport and he successfully emigrated out of the country, moving to Brussels. In 1978, Marinov moved to Washington, D.C. Later he lived in Italy and Austria. In his later years, Marinov earned a living as a groom for horses.

On 15 July 1997, Marinov jumped to his death from a staircase at a library at the

vice-Minister of Industry of Bulgaria
.

Work

One of Marinov's interests was the quest for

German parliament
if Kohl was not willing to intervene in favour of Marinov's associates.

Research

Marinov attempted to find experimental disproof of the theory of relativity by testing the speed of light in different directions using an arrangement of coupled mirrors and coupled shutters.

peer-reviewed journals.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]

Marinov was involved publicly with many quarrels with

advertisement in Nature expressing his frustration with what he regarded as the dogmatic attitude of the establishment.[22]
Marinov himself published a journal, Deutsche Physik, of which he was editor-in-chief and which discussed mainly his ideas on physics.

Stefan Marinov was interested in experiments alleged to violate known physical laws.[23][24] Marinov claimed to have seen in operation and learned the secret of the so-called "Swiss ML converter" or Testatika electrical generator, another alleged perpetual motion machine, at a religious commune in Switzerland called Methernitha.[3] According to Marinov's account, this 500-member commune, led by religious leader Paul Baumann, met all its energy needs using this device.[3]

Marinov has been editor of a five-volume encyclopaedic series called "Classical Physics".

Ampere's law in electromagnetism is correct.[1][2] Most of Marinov's friends think these negative results on constructing a source of free energy (in order to solve the global energy needs of humanity) might have pushed him to commit a suicide.[3][31]
