Garabed T. K. Giragossian

Garabed T. K. Giragossian was an Armenian living in Boston who is remembered for developing a perpetual motion device shortly after the turn of the 19th century. He immigrated to America in 1891. In 1917, Giragossian is claimed, reportedly fraudulently, to have developed a "free energy machine". Supposedly involved in a conspiracy, Woodrow Wilson signed a resolution offering him protection. The device was a giant flywheel that was charged up with energy slowly and put out a lot of energy for just a second.
