Steorn Announces Public Demonstration of Orbo Technology

It isn't possible to take more energy out of a system than you put in. It is a simple observation that is totally logical and true. Sorry guys, but the best chance for new energy technology is being able to convert a unit of matter to its equal counterpart unit of energy. 100% conversion to energy so that the mass/energy conservation law is satisfied.

I applaud your open-mindedness and willingness to consider that perhaps mankind (at least the ones who went to school a while ago), don't really understand everything after all.

I would suggest for all of us that we not be fooled into thinking that we understand the underlying physics well, for physics is changing all the time as new things are discovered.

"The good thing about going to school is that it teaches you what can and can't be done...the bad thing about school is that it teaches you what can and can't be done."

Here is a good article on Zero-Point Energy that might be worth reading:

Hope you find it helpful

I'll believe this when I see it work and the results can be replicated. Until then its BS

Clearly part of the peanut-gallery gawking crowd... once it works, make sure you don't go around saying "Oh, I knew it all the time that this would work!" Make sure you let people know how out of touch you were to what is possible.

Unfortunately, ATS seems to be dividing into two camps lately. On the one hand, we have the debunkers, who patently refuse to even entertain the idea of anything being real without a mountain of evidence being delivered to them on a silver platter.

A mountain of evidence, how about a shred of evidence instead?

Something that a 20$ electrical meter can accomplish.

See Bob, you are correct in your statement, but you are wrong in your assumption. Nobody is taking anything out of nothing, they are taking it from some place that you are obviously unaware of - the very "non-empty" and energy-filled space that is all around us... why not educate yourself about this, since you probably didn't learn much about it, then come back and discuss this from a new, more open-minded perspective. I doubt that you are an "old dog" who can't learn new tricks... right?

That's exactly what CONDEMNATION BEFORE INVESTIGATION means... read my signature if you want to know who that phrase is from. You would sound a lot more rational and intelligent if you said "until I see the proof, I will reserve judgment." There is no intelligence displayed, whatsoever, when people say something is BS until it is proven true. That presupposes false until proven true, guilty until proven innocent, and that is the very opposite of the scientific method. You are acting like a religious zealot, not a level-headed intelligent thinker. Really... it does you no harm and will win you more respect from people who really are scientifically minded and who have a solid grasp on what it means to actually find truth through a rigorous scientific approach.

Even science is fraught with people who start off with a prejudiced idea, either for or against, and this is always fueled by some other agenda other than finding truth.

As has been mentioned by several people in this thread, I seriously doubt there will ever be a device that creates energy were energy did not previously exist

... however...

It may be entirely possible to tap into energy that already exists and by some 'simple' and inexpensive process release vast amounts of energy. I'm not talking about exploding a nuke either ... lol ... I mean tapping into a source of energy and controlling, thereby using, that energy to power... err... whatever need powering.

One possibilty might be by applying the principle of harmonics, much as you do within sound, and have a small discharge of energy (perhaps released as a continuous oscillating wave at an appropiate 'frequency) stimulate your source of potential energy.

Think electric guitar feedback, how it's caused, and what happens when a magnetic pickup receives a small signal which is then amplified and picked up by the same pickup again. Eventually the process results in a continuous self-sustaining loop of sound. Yes, the amplifier is being powered by electricity, but the guitar is essentially playing itself.

Imagine then a source of potential energy... perhaps the basic soup of energy that we call the Universe, within which all matter and energy exists. That is one gigantic source of potential energy, it ALREADY EXISTS so you're not creating anything out of thin air, and perhaps by creating the right sort of 'harmonic' stimulation this energy soup (I believe some refer to it as the energy of the vacuum) could be be tapped into and used.

Just pure speculation.... I know, but who knows eh?

In reference to the OP, I believe that no one is claiming they are creating energy out of nothing. Unless I'm mistaken they are talking about tapping into a source of potential energy (magnetism) by applying a small (cheap) stimulus to get the process going. It may be possible, they might fail... but wouldn't it be wonderful if they are o to something here eh?

I think I'll stay on the fence with this one, for now

Huh?

Whilst a good idea it HAS been done before, there are lots and lots of sites all claiming to have 'free energy' devices of varying sorts and types.
'Steorn' do not have any videos or photos displaying their generators and therefore do not gauge my attention.
If there were truly onto something thats productive to Human life and to the environment I feel they would go out of their way to provide proof, and even to provide videos of their devices working.
But all I see from their website is printed words that even I can do.
I own the world but I won't show any signs of papers proving my ownership.
See?
No proof , no truth.

You must have not been to their website, they have streaming videos (link)of their tech and have opened their doors for public viewing of the technology.

tamale

I think the company is trying to market their stuff on here because they think we don't know anything about science.

Ok - then I will rephrase my statement: Until proven otherwise this is just another claim in a very long line of "free energy" machines. (see: cold fusion) In layman's terms, until its proven otherwise its BS..

Except in this case it has been proven to be BS - or did you forget this bit
In August 2006 the Irish company Steorn published an advertisement in the Economist announcing the development of “a technology that produces free, clean and constant energy”. Qualified experts were sought to form a “jury” to validate these claims.

Twenty-two independent scientists and engineers were selected by Steorn to form this jury. It has for the past two years examined evidence presented by the company. The unanimous verdict of the Jury is that Steorn's attempts to demonstrate the claim have not shown the production of energy. The jury is therefore ceasing work.

The jury consists of scientists and engineers in relevant fields from Europe and North America, from industry, universities and government laboratories. Information about individual members can be found at stjury.ning.com...

R.I.MacDonald
Chairman, Steorn Jury [i/]

So it has been shown not to do what it claims!
