Free energy device (Steorn) to be revealed

Re: Free energy' device to be revealed

Do a Google or AAM search for previous discussion of Steorn and their magical mystery device.

So they say. I remember seeing an article on RTE news (Six One actually) about this over a year ago. It was not a shelf filler acticle either and was a serious report. Time will tell.
 
Steorn?

So, almost a year after they announced their "free-energy" to the world and placed an [broken link removed] in the Economist to challenge the global scientific community to step forward and test their invention Steorn have put it on display at the Kinetica experimental art museum (is this the giveaway that it's all hot air?) in London today and quell surprise there are technical difficulties.

What's the story with these guys? Is it all an elaborate scam or do the really believe they have circumnavigated the laws of thermodynamics and delivered the holy grail to our energy needs? Either way they seem to be leaving themselves open to inevitable ridicule unless they do in fact pull off the impossible.
 
Re: Steorn?

It's a scam. It works but eventually you need to re-Gauss the magnets. This takes more energy than is output. Such devices have already been patented, operate well within the laws of thermodynamics and are certainly not overunity generators.

Some good comments on although it does get hijacked by an Iranian madman half way through.

The main hint is that they themselves keep thinking and talking so small. If you have a genuine overunity generator (400% they claim) why would you be talking about long life batteries - why not power the entire national grid? The "zero point energy" scam, as it was called in its previous incarnation, simply does not scale.
