The Russian energy and anti-gravity device, the Magnetic Energy Converter (MEC), was claimed to produce magnetic anomalies, lower the temperature of its surroundings, self-sustain without input, and even produce anti-gravity effects. Its partial replication will be announced at the Space, Propulsion & Energy Sciences International Forum (SPESIF) on March 15-17, 2011 at the University of Maryland, College Park.
There are many claims of devices that produce energy or thrust without a conventional source. However, it is not very common to come across a device that claims to produce both. The Magnetic Energy Converter designed by V. V. Roshchin and S. M. Godin is such a device. It is claimed to produce energy without input, self-sustain, and produce anti-gravitational effects when a load is applied. In addition, it is claimed to produce a temperature drop in its surroundings and produce magnetic anomalies up to 15 meters away.

This device is claimed to replicate at least some aspects of the "MEC." For example, they have detected a drop of temperature in its surroundings, magnetic anomalies, and a reduction in the weight of the device. However, they claim, "unfortunately self-accelerated motion has yet to be obtained." The "MEC" was claimed to self sustain and be able to power a 7 kilowatt load while losing 35% of its weight
