Steorn's

Posted July 05, 2007 4:17 PM

From Boing Boing:

Orbo, a "free energy" machine, is being unveiled today at the Kinetica Museum in London. Steorn, the company that developed it, says it creates energy by exploiting the power of magnetism. Orbo is based upon the principle of time variant magneto-mechanical interactions. The core output from our Orbo technology is mechanical. This mechanical energy can be converted into electrical energy using standard generator technology either by integrating such technology directly with Orbo or by connecting the mechanical output from Orbo to the generation technology. The efficiency of such mechanical/electrical conversions is highly dependent on the components used and is also a function of size. Why do people still fall for this stuff?

No unveiling... the lights were too bright and hot, man behind curtain with dog nipping at heals had to go home.

"Steorn" is just another word for "scam". The only magneto mechanical machine that can create energy is a wind-turbine that uses the PMA to generate power, using the mechanical rotation of a wind mill. All other claims are either outright fraud or having so little output, it is inconsequential.

I dont understand why the scientific community does not roll these guys over burning coals.

"...Why do people still fall for this stuff?..."

Because they have a little voice inside their head, telling them so many other variants of bull, just to keep them from getting ahead, with the business of feeling alive.

Why feel when you can think, preferably of things which will never lead to anything at all?
