Well so far I haven’t heard of any skullduggery going on around Steorn.

The presentation of a working prototype was scheduled in 2007, then the event got mysteriously cancelled. Steorn announced that scientists and engineers would be able to review the technology, that also hasn't materialized. If that isn't the textbook definition of skullduggery, I don't know what is.

But if Orbo is demonstrated to be real and useful it will generate lots of attention. If it starts threatening economic or political interests it could stir up opposition.

That's like saying: If flying pigs were demonstrated to be real, they would revolutionize both the pork and poultry industry. Or in other words: If the premise is never gonna happen, the result is pretty much irrelevant.

Sorry - bad choice of words. What I mean is I haven’t heard of nefarious activities directed at Steorn. They seem to have been able to carry out their plans without external forces trying to shut them down.

Apparently that will be taking place over the next few weeks. They have a public experiment scheduled for tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. GMT
