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:
The technology has a coefficient of performance greater than 100%. The operation of the technology (i.e. the creation of energy) is not derived from the degradation of its component parts. 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."

Previously posted, haven't heard about any progress though.
Are they indirectly saying Einstein lied?
:)
I don't care how they do it, if it's FREE I want me some! :-)

FWIW, if it turns out to work, it could be combined with the technique developed by the Indian guy that stares into the sun and living only on sunlight and a little water. This will make all the Greens happy.
I'll invest!
Uhhhh??? Why don't you just build some stuff and sell it? When was the last time Ford designed a new car and sought "...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"?
Build me a stinking battery charger! If I can charge my batteries without plugging the stupid thing in, it must work.....
I'd rather short-sell them.
Their Forum is sort of fun

Dear Steorn.net:
First Law of Thermodynamics: Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed.
Don't let the Romulans get their hands on that.
I only have one question...who do I make the check out to?
Ah, the old perpetual-motion-machine scam.
The only thing perpetual about it is the dishonesty of the promoters, and the gullibility of the investors.
Think of it as a tax on stupidity.

Steorn is an anagram for Sterno. I think someone's been drinking it.
