I guess the "on-line demonstration" is supposed to start at 6:00 tonight.
I'll have to take a look at that.

If this is the real deal, the next few years will be very interesting.
That's a real big "if", though.

that looks interesting. I have thought about how to make one of these many a times. Would benefit everyone but.. allot of people would lose money and it could cause chaos.

RockSolidBrain, solid job following up on this story. Keep me posted, I'm on a Mac, and thus can't watch the stream.

The ramifications of this device is ground breaking. If its perpetual output can be validated by not only observers in the Kinetica museum in London but the entire world...that's like an alien spaceship landing directly on the front lawn of the white house, knocking at the door. Remember where you are when this happens folks, it could be the dissolution of many fossil fuel based companies and the true start of a more earth conscious one.

This has just appeared on the www.steorn.com site:

"Due to technical difficulties we will now be live from the 5th July."

Looks like they are having difficulties with the web-stream.

So, do you think it's a technical difficulty or is it a "dog ate my homework" in the making?

"The government agents showed up and took the model"

"We had it but it vanished from the museum before the demo"

"The secret plans were swiped by men in black"

I'll be really quite disappointed if it's TDAMH. I'd rather it just not work if it's going to be a publicity stunt.

Technical difficulties = Suddenly realizing that what they're doing is impossible.

Yeah, I had the VLC player for Mac for a while, but I guess the version I was using was pretty buggy because it'd lock up and on occasion cause a kernel panic.

However, that was over a year ago and I hear the newer version is miles ahead.

I really feel for the Steorn mob though.

I've done a lot of technical demos, from Comdex to arms shows, and they never, ever go the way you think.

We used to say that you can't start "demonstration" without "demons".

Somewhere in the heart of London, some guy is chowing down on Pepcid and sweating buckets while he tries to figure out why it worked back at the lab but won't work in the museum.

What he doesn't know is, the CIA swapped out some of the magnets for slugs, so the demonstration would fail.

Ok no use then, but I edited the above post with a link to VLC for mac while you were posting.
I'll try to record some of the feed and post it here, IF it happens. (Ya, thats a big if. )

If this is true, then yeah a lot of people in the oil industry will loose their jobs. but to offset that, the standard of living will be much higher. people in poverty will be living rich with free energy. Imagine using free energy for agriculture to increase the world's food supply to feed all 6.5 billion of us. It will change our lives if this is true and I think it will change our lives in a good way.

True, but think of the flip side.

We've got twenty patents we'll be writing for military applications before the museum closes, if it actually turns out to look like it's working.

Not to mention all the new jobs created by a brand new industry. Sure, oil and gas will see a hit, but it's not like that will be over night. If the energy companies are smart, they'll bid that butts off to get the rights to license this thing and diversify their portfolio. I

mean, there is no reason for fossil fuels to go out overnight, as I'm sure it would take a few decades before this stuff could be used everywhere. Fossil fuels will still have their place.

However, imagine if electric cars could get their green charges from this? Seriously...man, infinite torque vehicles everywhere!

So, do you think it's a technical difficulty or is it a "dog ate my homework" in the making?

"The government agents showed up and took the model"

"We had it but it vanished from the museum before the demo"

"The secret plans were swiped by men in black"

I'll be really quite disappointed if it's TDAMH. I'd rather it just not work if it's going to be a publicity stunt.

Or " one of our engineering staff is responsible for misleading us and has been perpetuating a hoax "

Is there anyone that will be in the area to witness the demonstration if or when the it actually takes place?

Edit: by "anyone" I mean anyone that post here on ATS
