Steorn has launched

[MikeHedge]

everyone who has been following Sean and the team at Steorn. they have launched. Orbo is live at www.steorn.com

Anyone live in Dublin? can you check out their demo? http://www.steorn.com/demo/

Mike thats a great link
thank you

 

[Danish P.V.]

Hahaha...a new hope... ;-) I`m curious (again)!

 

[Karl Gustav H.]

In this house we obay the laws of thermodynamics.

 

[MikeHedge]

not sure what your comment is about. research what happened in 1892. Newton's First Law of Motion is pretty neat too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

I like the way they use quotes from their critics in their promotional video. It's a different approach and instantly arouses interest.

The second law of thermodynamics establishes that perpetual motion devices are impossible.

You must play the game, you can't win, you can't break even, and you can't quit the game.

Any plausible explanation of where the "extra" energy is coming from?

I'm thinking an Amplifier...

 

[Ace]

Ive been watching it live spinning for a while now... It aint slowing down. What the hell have they got here...

 

[Jim Hoffman]

These people are great at getting attention

Since we're not perpetual beings... We only need a "perpetual enough" device.

Right? :biggrin5:

But the question is: Can I plug a RED Volt in it and power my Scarlet forever?

In this house we obay the laws of thermodynamics.

In his book on the development of physics "The Road to Reality" Roger Penrose noted that the principals of thermodynamics, while useful, did not rise to the level of proven physical law. Thermodynamics only apply in full to thermal processes, not relativistic or resonance based processes.

That's what I'm waiting for... And I find the 3:1 energy ratio to be rather hard to swallow.

Watching a video of a spinning motor doesn't exactly inspire me to believe.

 

[Gavin Greenwalt]

It could be a rare earth magnet generator. We'll find out in a few day/weeks if it is when it becomes a common-earth-stone paperweight.

 

[MikeHedge]

thank you David. true true.

"Any plausible explanation of where the "extra" energy is coming from?"

There's this vortex in Norway...

No. I want to believe!

It's just, they could easily sell a few thousand "generators" immediately, and have a real product with a real technical support department -- but these "companies" never do. Not holding my breath.

You want energy -- look into tide generation. Powerful stuff.

Tough to get tidal power out to a weather station in the middle of nowhere in Alaska. Not saying this thing works and isn't just a fancy and inefficient magnetic battery but if it did work and even if it's output wasn't industrialized to scale it still would be useful in a lot of places where perhaps solar isn't practical.
