The guy has applied for four perpetual motion patents, hydro, solar and two
air, all abandoned.

My favorite is the "Self powered solar generator";
http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=2puFAAAAEBAJ
"This device is designed to create brightness (wattage) in the most
efficient manner using electric light. This light is then converted into
electricity by the most efficient photovoltaic solar panels and or solar
cells available. The theory is you can generate more electric power than
what it takes to power the device."

The diagrams are priceless :-)
