Steorn announces plans for widespread deployment of its free energy technology post-validation
Dublin, 11th January 2007: Steorn, the Irish technology development company, has today announced that its free energy technology will be made widely available to the development community immediately after the independent scientific validation process that is currently underway.
Under the terms of a modified general purpose licence and for a nominal fee, Steorn’s intellectual property will be made available concurrently to all interested parties, from individual enthusiasts to larger research organisations. Steorn is taking this bold move to accelerate the deployment and acceptance of its technology for both humanitarian and commercial products.
Steorn’s technology is based on the interaction of magnetic fields and allows the production of clean, free and constant energy. The technology can be applied to virtually all devices requiring energy, from cellular phones to cars.
Steorn placed an advertisement in The Economist in August 2006 to attract the attention of the world’s leading scientists working in the field of experimental physics. It has now completed the selection of its jury of scientists who have embarked on the testing of the technology prior to publishing their results worldwide.
Sean McCarthy, CEO of Steorn, commented: “We have experienced enormous levels of interest in our free energy technology from the product development community.
“Experience tells us that opening up access to technology to all interested parties via the internet allows for rapid third party development. We believe that our technology can have a profound impact on people’s lives and are confident that the delivery of our intellectual property via this type of online development and engineering support environment will lead to the rapid deployment of all kinds of different products.”
My own questions: What the heck is with this “online development”? Why are they referring to the internet at all, as far as this goes? WHY IS THIS COMPANY SO INFURIATINGLY OBTUSE?!
Weren’t these guys examined for ARG-ness last year at some point over on UF? I don’t recall if they reached a consensus on serious/ARG/whackjobs.
Yeah, actually I have a pretty big presence in that thread on unfiction. The conclusion we came to, more or less, is that they’re highly suspicious for many reasons, but while they have a million and a half precursors for an ARG, they have no real motivation to be one, they advertised and didn’t capitalize on it for many months, and they involved some serious news organizations that would be pretty pissed off if they turned out to be a hoax of some sort.
Their incorporation details are a bit convoluted, as is the history of their domain name. The graphic design of the site is reminiscent of a certain game system… but the guy is real. The office is (apparently) real.
If it’s a genuine company with a genuine product and a straightforward mission… it’s the most bass-ackwards method of marketing themselves or accomplishing their scientific goals that anyone has ever attempted. It’s sensationalist without detail, and that is the part that sticks in the craw of everyone the most.
We have no external evidence to go on, no physical evidence, and the concept itself “defies the laws of physics”. Which doesn’t immediately discount it, but does make for 500 years of empirical evidence to contest their assertion.
