I was wondering when they were finally going to debunk the fundamental laws of physics and develop something like this:

| I remember this company making the front page of Slashdot last year. They still haven't told anyone how their stuff works, which shouldn't be hard to do, while continuing to receive VC funding. Call me a skeptic. |

| If it were real then the oil companies would have either bought it from them or killed them all by now. |

Phase I Current Phase
Confirm that the Steorn technology has a coefficient of performance greater than 100%.
Phase II Current Phase
Confirm that the operation of the Steorn technology does not affect the component parts of the technology.
Phase III Current Phase
Carry out a full thermodynamic analysis of the technology.

Seems like a load of scheiss. |

Yeah, seen them before. I'd love to see the list of "scientists" who volunteered to examine their claim. |

Oh. What's wrong with that? I mean, if it really pisses you off, why don't you volunteer to be one of the "scientists" to examine the claim? |

From their site, at http://www.steorn.net/en/technology.aspx?p=5
| Quote: |
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. |
I'm just saying I don't think any reputable scientists will waste time evaluating just another quack claim that the laws of physics have been overturned. |

| I'd sign up. I'm curious to see how (and if) it works. I think that most good scientists feel the same way. Time and money permitting, of course. |

Sounds like a group of people saying "Uh huh... yeah..." |

| Why do they even want independent verification? Why not just go straight to world domination first, and get the verification later? |
