This is for the wild and wacky files.

Here's his ad in The Economist: http://www.steorn.net/media/downloads/steorn_ad01_screen.pdf

Should be amusing to watch, and good grist for the tin foil hat wearers.

Gotta give some kind of credit for taking it this far. When you think about it, in a way they already are generating free energy.

Is this the tenth thread or are we way past that?

How much you wanna bet the scientists are gonna drop kick this one?

They are humoring the lowest element on this one.

[ASOC]

The heck with a jury of 12 *scientists* - weld a couple of motor mounts on it, I'll pull my Chevy 350 and see if it runs my pickup truck.

If it can't pull on hills, who would buy the technology anyway?

True indeed! Either they've discovered, stumbled upon, worked hard to find the discovery of the millenium. Or they are incredibly good grifters. We'll need plenty of popcorn for this show...

Perhaps the discoverers have seen this movie and been inspired to discover - or delude?

Yipeeee! Free lunch, pink Bubble-up, hard rock candy mountain! -how much does it cost to make this "free" energy?

Steorn's technology is based on the interaction of magnetic fields and allows the production of clean, free and constant energy. The company says the technology can be applied to virtually all devices requiring energy, from cellular phones to cars.

Too bad he can't make one work in any of these applications.

Funny article on Steorn here.

Okay, where do I send the check?

I call shenanigans.

After reading several articles on this, seeing this guy on Cavuto, and then thinking on this a bit, perhaps this is not all that outlandish if looked at from a macroscopic perspective as opposed to the typical microscopic perspective.

So, to begin with, where does magnetism ultimately come from? If I am not mistaken, a substance becomes magnetized (if it has the ability to become magnetized)as it passes through an electromagnetic field. The last time I looked, the earth is surrounded by a rather large field. And the earth both rotates as well as precesses through our little piece of solar system at a pretty fair pace, and this is through the sun's fields. Our movement through these fields could then potentially be the energy source from which this magnet engine derives the apparent limitless energy effect.

Perhaps this is naive thinking, but then again perhaps not.

So. How is my logic faulty? Flame on - I'm wearing my body armor.

From other articles on FR on this subject, you can walk around their magnet and get energy for your electronic devices. Basically, by moving around a magnet, you can generate electricity. Simple, age-old principle. In this case, the energy from walking around or moving about in a magnetic field is transferred to electrical energy, and can power devices. The fraud is in saying it's free energy. It's not.

It's The PerpetualMotionMachine Hour!

Next up is ... Steorn.

Again.

Way too much fanfare to be legit.

Neil Cavuto had a story about this subject on his program on Aug.28th.It seems interesting to me,Let's see if it can actually be done.
