chances of that happening?

0%

the conversion of the magnetic force to energy doesn't break any laws of physics. it's really easy actually. if you pick up a pin with a magnet, you've generated kinetic energy from the magnetic field.

the difficult thing is to tune the magnetic fields so that the amount of energy generated by the interaction of the magnetic fields is more than the amount of energy required to overcome the attraction.

It's not difficult, it's impossible.

Steorn will again be shown as frauds and so will the "thousands" who, like thousands before them, try and rewrite physics.

There's a lot of reasons to be extremely sceptical (enough for me top put my own money on the line even), but very little reason to be optimistic...

I have hope that someone will fundamentally change our understanding of science and nature, but I do not have faith.. and I certainly DO NOT BELIEVE that these jokers have done it.

Me too I made a promise to a little boy that his college fund will be that much bigger.. lmao

If Steorn makes free energy that $100 will be able to put him through college... well, maybe not in the US, but here in Europe, no probs.

impossible?

show me the math, just saying something is impossible is ridiculous.

I don't know , I see 2 live feed streams running that show a device of some sort that is working . Granted I do not know what the device is doing but it does work (as in it is operational) , also I see people walking around the device once in a while so I assume this is open to public. So what are they showing to the people and how are they doing it if the device is supposed not to work at all?

Using the oh so fun quote that is popular around here the Razor , the device is intended to generate power , it does run , it is open to public eye , this all leads me to believe the device is working as intended . Until I see counter arguments I have an open mind to the possibility that it does work.

And by counter argument I do not mean "your" opinion on why it does not work , I mean data that shows them feeding power somehow or some other counter argument that will lead me to believe it is a hoax. I do not care how smart "you" think you are , "your" opinion has as much credibility as any others that claim they have been on Venus or have babies with a blue alien from alpha centauri .

Disclaimer - Word "You" is used as a generalization .

It would be great if somebody from Dublin could take a walk and see that thing in person and maybe do some question asking and inspecting

Lmfao while rotfl!!! Watch there Advertisement!! I have all the faith in the world in these people I hope there thing works. HOWEVER, "Get real,Get Orbo"?? lmfao they need new advertisment people if they want this to go viral.

Nm I take that back somtimes companies use the worst possible advertisment and it hits millions!

What they really need to do is get a few of those Global Warming scientists backing.

Those guys believe anything!

Am I holding my breath?
No

Am I intrigued? Yes

Also...don't don't don't start calling global warming a fraud. The oil companies, coal companies, and all their little friends who block hydrogen, electric, wind, solar, tidal, and geothermal energy will love you.

Question: If energy can neither be created nor destroyed, then what are the implications of producing more energy than you use to produce it? It sounds like an excellent idea but what are the implications of using this technology (if it even works like they say it does)?

Any theorists care to take a stab?

it's a head scratcher.

as far as i can see, they're not creating energy, they're converting magnetic force, which is really strong, into kinetic energy. it's not free, it's just really, really cheap.

i believe it's something akin to using the gravity of a planet to sling shot a space craft.

The battery doesn't concern me. Your alternator requires a small amount of power from the battery to energize its field but still (with the torque provided by the motor) re-charges the battery that energizes it.

It should concern you. With a car, once it is running you can disconnect the battery and it will continue to run. If this device is producing more energy than it uses, then what is the battery for?

This device appears to get its torque from the magnetic interactions.

actually it gets its power from the battery!

perpetual motion machines like this do not work, and remember the scientists that tested it said just that as well!

Zero credibility, they boast about how nobody has been able to verify anything they have said. Why anybody is taking these guys seriously I have no idea.

Unless your car had a generator or magneto (as used in airplane engines) as opposed to an alternator it would not continue to run if the battery was disconnected. An alternator uses a small amount of current to energize the field. Some are 'self-exciting but usually only at high RPM.

I have clearly logged my skepticism of the Steorn device. However, the inclusion of a battery in and of itself does not prove jack. We need to see power draw from the battery (voltage x current) and power produced by the recharge circuit. Only having those two measurements can you say whether or not the device is running on the battery.
