I am facinated with Steorn's technology and sincerely hope their technology is legitimate and is quickly commercialized. What I really hope is that at some point they will release enough information about their technology so it can be replicated by amateurs and scientists around the world. One thing Sean has said over and over again is that the technology is VERY SIMPLE. I hope at some point they release more information.

Sean McCarthy, the CEO of Steorn, has said, on the Steorn forum, www.steorn.net, that the OU device they claim to have uses two rotors with permanent magnets on them that are at right-angles to one another.

He also said that there is no fixed magnet.

I know there are a lot of builders here and I was wondering if that is enough of a hint to get any of you thinking about possibilities. I don't think I have seen any attempts here that used that right-angle, two-rotor configuration.

Canam,

I have done a LOT of reading on Steorn's website, their forum, and elsewhere but I do not remember that statement by Sean McCarthy. Could you provide a reference? From what has been said recently it seemed to me their technology was as simple as a rotor with magnets on it and then fixed magnets on the outside creating a magnetic field that the magnets on the rotor move through. Honestly, I am almost certain that I have recently read that it uses fixed magnets. But then again, I could be wrong or they may have made contradictory statements or might have more than one version of their technology.

If you could, please provide a reference.

I really, really hope they start releasing more information soon. I would love to figure out exactly how they are doing what they claim.

Here is a clue to Steorn's technology. At least it tells us how many magnets they are using and a little bit about their positions relative to one another.

"So, as they prepare to demonstrate this wonder of science to me at their modest offices in Dublin near the Liffey, I feel all the excitement of Christmas Day. There is a test rig with wheels and cogs and four magnets meticulously aligned so as to create the maximum tension between their fields and one other magnet fixed to a point opposite. A motor rotates the wheel bearing the magnets and a computer takes 28,000 measurements a second. The magnets, naturally, act upon one another. And when it is all over, the computer tells us that almost three times the amount of energy has come out of the system as went in. In fact, this piece of equipment is 285% efficient."

The important information from that is basically there are four magnets on the rotor and one magnet on the stator. Also, it tells us that the individual are stationary and in place (not being moved aroud mechanically at key moments). Of course from what Sean has said in the past this last part was to be expected.

Hey, it's a little more information! We now know at least one version of their technology uses for stator magnets and one rotor magnet.
