Thread: Steorn - Free Energy

How did a company whos history is "History


For many years Steorn has developed technology to help combat counterfeiting and fraud in the plastic card and optical disc industries.

Steorn is a word translating as 'to guide, direct and manage'.

The company has been instrumental in the development of core technologies that address counterfeit crime in areas such as plastic card fraud and optical disc fraud. The company has also provided forensic and expert witness services to British, Irish and international law enforcement agencies."

Somehow learn how to create free energy?

And why won't any of the scientists who validated it go on record?

Seems too good to be true.

James Randi wrote about Steorn almost a week ago (hooray RSS).

Basically, Steorn asserts that it has three claims for its technology:

1. The technology has a coefficient of performance greater than 100%.

This says that it turns out more energy than is put into it, so the excess is usable to power washing machines, watches, or flashlights.

2. The operation of the technology (i.e. the creation of energy) is not derived from the degradation of its component parts.

Translation: the device/system doesn’t use up its own parts, including any fuel source. It just runs on and on, and on…

3. There is no identifiable environmental source of the energy (as might be witnessed by a cooling of ambient air temperature).

No natural processes such as flowing water, sunlight, or geothermal sources, are involved in providing the free energy. And Steorn adds:

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

And, Sean McCarthy, Steorn’s CEO, clearly and plainly says:

What we have developed is a way to construct magnetic fields so that when you travel round the magnetic fields, starting and stopping at the same position, you have gained energy. The energy isn't being converted from any other source such as the energy within the magnet. It's literally created. Once the technology operates it provides a constant stream of clean energy.

Yep, that's what it looks like! Folks, this is very easy, simple, straightforward, undemanding, and uncomplicated, to prove! Just perform step number one, showing that the device or system puts out more energy than it takes in, and the whole world will sit up in rapt admiration, and will invest! Hey, I'll invest! [/b]

The whole article is here (or right at the start, congratulations if you spotted that super secret easter egg&#33

I hope this is real.

Allthough it's probably not

This sounds pretty amitious, if it were as brilliant as the ad made out, wouldn't it have been done already? There must be a reson why the scientific community hasn't adopted this new idea.

Sorry, no way that is true. I've looked into the magnetic fields thing before. Even read a patent on it once. This is nothing new.

Any energy gained is at the expense of the magnetic fields. No energy created, just transferred. Thing is, you need some pretty intense magnetic fields, like those generated by strong rare-earth magnets to pull it off. Takes more energy to create the magnet than you can get back out of it. In that respect, it is more like a battery.

Maybe they can use this technology to create a battery for my laptop that lasts 20+ hours?
