Christie's will be accepting bids for an original Apple 1 computer made by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in 1976.

The auction begins June 24th and is online only. Christie's expects the final bid to be between $300,000 and $500,000.

Among the many highlights is an original Apple-1 computer produced by the fledgling Apple Computer Company starting in 1976. Designed by Steve Wozniak and hand-built in Steve Jobs's parents' garage, the Apple-1 was the first step in Apple's long-term success in the personal computing world. Additional highlights include an Apple Lisa computer, released in 1983, and a prototype of the first truly portable Macintosh laptop.

The computer is signed by Steve Wozniak.

Chronicles of Mark Goldes, Aesop Institutes's Perpetual Scam Machine 1976: Goldes seeks investors with fraudulent claims to have developed a production-ready wind-propelled, wind-rechargeable motorcycle that can reach 60 mph: 1998: Goldes fools the witless US Air Force with his "room temperature superconductor" scam, receiving over four hundred thousand dollars in "Innovative Research" grants. Goldes has never produced any superconductor. 2005: Goldes seeks investors with fraudulent claims that his company, MPI, is developing "Magnetic Power Modules": 2008: Goldes seeks investors with fraudulent claims that "MPI is also developing breakthrough magnetic energy technologies including POWERGENIE (Power Generation of Electricity by Nondestructive Interference of Energy)." Goldes claims to have "run an electric car for more than 4,800 miles with no need to plug-in." According to Goldes, "[MPI] Revenues from licenses and Joint Ventures are conservatively projected to exceed $1 billion annually by 2012." 2009: Goldes seeks investors with fraudulent claims that his latest scamporation, Chava Energy, "has been developing enhanced theoretical and practical paths that lead towards commercialization of energy conversion systems that utilize hydrinos." He now claims to be "developing a Self Powered Internal Combustion Engine – SPICE(tm) powered by hydrinos." "For over 20 years Mark Goldes has claimed his company MPI has been developing machines that generate energy for free. In over 20 years his company has not presented one shred of evidence that they can build such machines... "For the past five years Mark Goldes has been promising generators 'next year.' He has never delivered. Like 'Alice in Wonderland' there will always be jam tomorrow, but never jam today." - Penny Gruber, December 2008 - Gruber's comment was written almost five years ago - but it's just as true today - except that MPI, Goldes' corporation that he claimed would bring in one billion dollars in revenue from his imaginary generator in 2012, is now defunct, having never produced any "Magnetic Power Modules" - just as his company called "Room Temperature Superconductors Inc" is also now defunct, having never produced any "room temperature superconductors." Evidently there's a limit to how many years in a row the same company can claim it will finally have something to demonstrate "next year." Now Goldes has a new scamporation, Chava Energy.

Engines have been invented that run on atmospheric heat, a form of solar energy. These engines will need no fuel. First pointed out as possible by Jacob Wainwright in 1903, several of his papers beginning with one entitled: PERPETUAL MOTION of the SECOND KIND or Heat from the Atmosphere a Substitute for Fuel are available as a free book download from google. The theory behind modern engines that substitute atmospheric heat for fuel can be found in a paper, also available on the internet, entitled: The Proell Effect: A Macroscopic Maxwell's Demon A prototype piston engine will likely spin a generator and light an LED. Next, desk-top, plastic engines will recharge cell phones and hand-held devices. Examples will be validated at independent laboratories. Engines that need no fuel can be scaled to power homes and replace diesel/electric generators. They will be one of a few 24-7 technologies likely to replace rooftop solar panels. Others are expected to provide an on-board recharge for electric cars, giving them unlimited range and the potential to become power plants when parked. Learn more under: NO FUEL ENGINE on the AESOP Institute website. Following independent laboratory validation, a numbered production run of 999 desktop plastic engines will be auctioned. Perpetual commotion, anyone?
