Irish Company Stumbles Upon Free Energy?
August 22, 2006 (One Response)
THIS IS GOING TO SOUND completely mad, insane even, but I’ve been reading about an Irish company who claim to have developed a form of clean (and efficient) energy which has the potential to change our world, literally. There are of course many skeptics, but if this is proven to be true, the world as you know it is about to change, for the better.
The company is Steorn, and their invention is based upon using magnets to generate kinetic / mechanical energy. This means it’s clean, it’s repeatable and most importantly it’s not based on degrading parts which will need replacement. To explain this I’ve lifted some text from their website as follows:-
Steorn’s technology appears to violate the ‘Principle of the Conservation of Energy’, considered by many to be the most fundamental principle in our current understanding of the universe. This principle is stated simply as ‘energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change form’.
Steorn is making three claims for its technology:
- The technology has a coefficient of performance greater than 100%.
- The operation of the technology (i.e. the creation of energy) is not derived from the degradation of its component parts.
- There is no identifiable environmental source of the energy (as might be witnessed by a cooling of ambient air temperature).
The sum of these claims is that our technology creates free energy.
Just think of the applications for such an energy source. In fact – why bother when you can look at the nice chart below which shows just some of the many ways this type of energy could be applied to our world.
Steorn have decided to announce their presence to the world in a unique way too. They have actually issued a challenge (in the Economist Magazine) to any scientists who are interested to come and test their technology. The only caveat is that anyone who tests must agree to publish their findings to the public when complete. That’s it. Otherwise the scientific community is free to do whatever tests, in whatever way they want to verify the authenticity of this development. Members of the public can also register for updates. Go check it out if you are interested.
If it’s a publicity stunt, it’s a good one. If it all turns out to be a load of shite and just some PR campaign for the company, then I forsee a major negative backlash (we don’t take kindly to such crap in Ireland). If on the other hand it proves to be true, if the scientific community uphold the claims then within years the entire world could be facing into a very unexpected future. A future of clean, repeatable, free energy which would vastly reduce our dependency on fossil fuels and the mad drive for nuclear fusion/fission based sources.
Fingers crossed! At time of writing this article their website claims their challenge is 4 days old, 2453 scientists have signed up for testing and 30118 public have registered for updates. I’m generally an auld cynic, but this time, just this once I’d loved to be proved wrong.
I’d absolutely love to be able to say an Irish team changed the face of the planet, for the better 
Open your mind and your heart, my friend. As long as you keep considering yourself an “auld cynic,” that’s what you’ll resign yourself to be. Such bravado on the part of your compatriots must either hint at the fact that they know they have an ace up their sleeves, or that this is a con of worldwide proportions. The latter would eventually fall like a house of cards, but the former? There’s the rub, my friend.
Please learn the lessons from across the pond. The Supreme Court installed President of the United States of America, His Superfluous Excellency George Walker Bush will never admit that he is wrong, and all the time rely on the excuse that doing so would only strengthen the resolve of the enemy. In the meantime, a war that began pre-emptively under false premises rages on, taking the lives of innocent civilans and the men and women of our Armed Forces. And all because the Village-Idiot-Would-Be-Elected-King refuses to cave in.
The advantage the scientific community has at this crossroads in human history is that we’re no longer in the dark ages, and that it does not have an almighty Church establisment to contend with. As Galileo found out, to suggest that science was right and religion was wrong was heresy, and his life was truly at risk. But something tells me that the likelihood of Benedict XVI coming all the way to Dublin with his Swiss Guard posse strictly for the purpose of popping a cap in some scientist’s arse is extremely remote at best.
To disprove theory is the most sacred thing a scientist can do. For if we finally find a way to break away from the chains of fossil-fuel technology can we ever hope to have a chance at leveling the playing field with the oil cartel. Only in that matter can we move forward from the morass we find ourselves in…
Keep an open mind and keep an open heart.
