The Energy Project (Irish Company Claims It Can Produce Clean Free Energy---Blarney or Reality?)
Steorn ^

REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY

Steorn’s technology produces free, clean and constant energy. This provides a significant range of benefits, from the convenience of never having to refuel your car or recharge your mobile phone, to a genuine solution to the need for zero emission energy production.

The Energy Project


In 2003 Steorn undertook a project to develop more efficient micro generators. Early into this project the company developed certain generator configurations that appeared to be over 100% efficient. Further investigation and development has led to the company’s current technology, a technology that produces free energy. The technology is patent pending.

Our Technology and the Laws of Physics


Steorn’s technology produces free, clean and constant energy. This provides a significant range of benefits, from the convenience of never having to refuel your car or recharge your mobile phone, to a genuine solution to the need for zero emission energy production. It also provides a secure supply of energy, since the components of the technology are readily available.

The technology is in a constant state of development. The company has focused for the past three years on increasing power output and the development of test systems that allow detailed analysis to be performed.

Steorn’s technology appears to violate the ‘Principle of the Conservation of Energy’, considered by many to be the most fundamental principle in our current understanding of the universe. This principle is stated simply as ‘energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change form’.

Steorn is making three claims for its technology:

  1. The technology has a coefficient of performance greater than 100%.
  2. The operation of the technology (i.e. the creation of energy) is not derived from the degradation of its component parts.
  3. There is no identifiable environmental source of the energy (as might be witnessed by a cooling of ambient air temperature).

The sum of these claims is that our technology creates free energy.

This represents a significant challenge to our current understanding of the universe and clearly such claims require independent validation from credible third parties. During 2005 Steorn embarked on a process of independent validation and approached a wide selection of academic institutions. The vast majority of these institutions refused to even look at the technology, however several did. Those who were prepared to complete testing have all confirmed our claims; however none will publicly go on record.

In early 2006 Steorn decided to seek validation from the scientific community in a more public forum, and as a result have published the challenge in The Economist. The company is seeking a jury of twelve qualified experimental physicists to define the tests required, the test centres to be used, monitor the analysis and then publish the results.

Steorn has decided to publish its challenge in The Economist because of the breadth of its readership. "We chose it over a purely scientific magazine simply because we want to make the general public aware that this process is about to commence and to generate public support, awareness, interest etc for what we are doing."

What is your opinion? Is this for real or just a bunch of blarney?

Ether Energy?

Sounds like baloney to me. There was a thread about it a few days ago, but it seems to me that this bears resemblances to the cold fusion fiasco of a few years back.

Keep in mind I'm no quantum physicist; I have a spectator's amateur understanding of it. That said, the only thing I can think of that would make this appear to be free energy is if these guys have somehow tapped the zero-point energy. Zero-point energy isn't exactly 'free' but it is a different animal, as far as we know, and assuming it even exists. As far as I know, it's never been observed directly. There are probably some large brain pans here on FR that could give you a much better explanation.

I think the more likely explanation is that these guys are full of crap. However, there's nothing wrong with a peer review of their technology. At least once they're proven wrong, they'll go away and we won't have to listen to their empty promises anymore.

Some would have you believe that tin can be turned into gold.

A web search on "overunity" will turn up lots of hits for stuff like this.

It's easy. You just build an antenna with itty-bitty hooks on it that extends into one or more of those extra dimensions, and catch a bunch of those loopy little strings that pervade our space, and you have all the energy you need.

Of course we have to build that antenna in 3 dimensions, in THIS space. But I am working on it in my garage, and just need a few million dollars to complete my research. Just deposit it in my pay-pal account, and I'll send you a stock certificate, suitable for framing....

No matter how many threads this generates, it generates no power.
