Steorn calls time on application process for scientists to test free energy technology
Company will stop taking applications on Sept. 8, to serve on 12-member jury to review magnet motor free energy device, which science has hitherto said is impossible. Expects jury-designed testing to begin by end of the year.
DUBLIN, IRELAND -- Steorn, a technology development company, has today announced a cut-off date for scientists to respond to its challenge to take part in a public validation of its free energy technology. The deadline has been set for 12 midnight, September 8th.
Steorn placed an advertisement in the Economist on August 18th inviting 'the most qualified and the most cynical' scientists to step forward. More than 3,000 scientists have responded thus far.
Steorn's technology is based on the interaction of magnetic fields and allows the production of clean, free and constant energy. The company says the technology can be applied to virtually all devices requiring energy, from cellular phones to cars.
From all the scientists who accept Steorn's challenge, 12 will be invited to take part in a rigorous testing exercise to prove that Steorn's technology creates free energy. The results will be published worldwide.
Sean McCarthy, CEO of Steorn, said: "We expected a good response to our advertisement because of its potential and its implications for the scientific world. Our technology goes far beyond scientific curiosity and addresses many urgent global needs including security of energy supply and zero emission energy production. In order for these benefits to be achieved, we need the public validation and endorsement of the scientific community."
"The next stage is to go through the applications and validate the information that we have been presented with. That will enable us to select a jury of 12 of the world's best-qualified scientists who are prepared to test the technology and publish their findings to the world, whatever those findings turn out to be."
Steorn will contact all of the scientists who have applied to investigate its technology so that it can validate their educational background and areas of research.
It anticipates that testing will begin before the New Year. The length of time that the testing will take will be determined by the 12 scientists, as will the location and format of the test process.
Steorn was founded in 2000 and has developed cutting edge technologies for third parties, including optical disc forensic analysis and plastic card fraud prevention technologies. It is now focused on the commercialization of its free energy technology, after the validation has been complete -- if validation indeed results from the testing..
Here's his ad in The Economist: http://www.steorn.net/media/downloads/steorn_ad01_screen.pdf
Should be amusing to watch, and good grist for the tin foil hat wearers.
Please Freep Mail me if you'd like on/off
Gotta give some kind of credit for taking it this far. When you think about it, in a way they already are generating free energy.

Fun site to peruse among the fringes of renewable energy, from the promising to the impossible to the fraudulent.
Even if possible, it will never be available to us peasants until someone figures out how to put a meter on it.
Is this the tenth thread or are we way past that?
How much you wanna bet the scientists are gonna drop kick this one?
They are humoring the lowest element on this one.
That's it?! OK, how big a version do I need to power my home?
I don't think he's gonna find 12 real scientist who will waste their time, that is, unless there is federal funding involved.
You need magnets the size of Rosie O'Donnell.
True indeed! Either they've discovered, stumbled upon, worked hard to find the discovery of the millenium. Or they are incredibly good grifters. We'll need plenty of popcorn for this show...
Perhaps the discoverers have seen this movie and been inspired to discover - or delude?
...I still say it's a potato gun.
This total BS!! It is just hype to help sell an IPO stock issue, just like the "It!' several years ago (a glorified scooter vastly inferior to most other 2 wheel scooters.)
Yipeeee! Free lunch, pink Bubble-up, hard rock candy mountain! -how much does it cost to make this "free" energy?
