 * redirect to appropriate section of history of perpetual motion machines, from which nearly all the text of this article comes. I could not find any meaningful content beyond what that article states. Mangoe (talk) 18:01, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect. This seems like he might have been notable at the time, (demonstration before congress) and notability doesn't have an expiration date.  However, I am not sure there is enough information available to keep the article as stand alone, so it should be redirected and merged to history of perpetual motion machines with no prejudice against recreating the article if more specific information can be added.

 * Keep or redirect. Here are a couple of book sources and it seems that he was later noted as a fraud suspect. This web site is probably not a reliable source in itself, as it appears to be self-published, but it contains what it claims to be copies of newspaper articles about the subject. As the article stands at the moment it might as well be a redirect to history of perpetual motion machines, but if is expanded it would be better as a standalone article.
