“Essén and Professor Emeritus at Uppsala University”

Essen comes up, but it is a Women’s Study professor.

Emeritus is just another way of saying retired professor, convenient.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor
Professor emeritus (Prof. em.): just like in North America (see above); used both for the ordinarius and for the extraordinarius, although strictly speaking only the former is entitled to be addressed in this way. Although retired and being paid a pension instead of a salary, they may still teach and take exams and often still have an office.

Google: “Professor Emeritus Essén” +Uppsala

That is surprising for someone who is referred to as a Emeritus

I bet we will find that the Swedish Skeptical Society website is secretly registered and there isn’t any reason for someone to do this. I bet the registration dates correspond with this invention too.

I will look later if no one bets me to the punch.

We seem to be on opposite sides of this discussion so I will continue to play my part :) (Although I really could be wrong about everything I admit)

Let me ask you. If you invented a device that would transform the largest part of the world’s economy, would you announce every detail to the world? Would you do things to protect your invention? Would you invite people to study your device that you knew and trusted or others that were strangers?

This is just a question not in any way meant to be rude or sarcastic.

The true test will be the 1MW reactor in Greece. If that works it’s for real. Until then it’s still research.

Professor Essén's university web page lists him as associate professor, Theoretical Physics, Stockholm University

Well.... a Google search on plain old Hanno Essén yields this page, revealing him to be a professor of Theoretical Physics at Stockholm University.

You can check out his peer-reviewed papers here.

Heck, I could just be stupid, but this guy seems moderately respectable.
