Jury Rules On Steorn’s Free Energy Machine: Guilty (Of Not Working)

12:40AM John Herrman | Remember how Steorn, the company who built, hyped, then failed to demonstrate the Orb free energy machine, convened a hand-selected “jury” to evaluate the technology? No? Well, anyway, they’ve disbanded, unanimously unconvinced. More »

Here’s One Magnetic Free Energy Machine That Actually Works

7:40AM Seamus Byrne | OK, so it isn’t the finest week for free-energy machines, but perhaps the boys at Steorn are just giving this category a bad name. Some seemingly free-energy concepts make sense, because they are powered not by mystical cosmic vibrations, but actual earthly ones. Scientists at the University of Southampton have created a generator that is fueled by the tremors of everyday life. It makes a trace amount of electrical current, but it’s enough to power sensors and, eventually, small machines. More »

The Rise and Fall of the Steorn Orbo Free Energy Machine

11:00AM Seamus Byrne | They said it couldn’t be done. And it probably can’t. A year after an Irish company called Steorn promised a perpetual energy source that required only magnetism, not fuel, the device called Orbo was set up for a 10-day public demonstration. Yesterday, at the Kinetica Museum in London, was to be the scheduled unveiling and although the lead scientist was not named Dr. Octavius or Dr. von Doom, something about the “time variant magneto-mechanical interaction” at the center of this process seemed ominous. Nevertheless, the public was invited to watch. Using Internet Explorer, you could even check out four different cameras in the Orbo’s chamber. As you may have guessed, the demonstration did not go according to plan. More »
