How Steorn Works

[PaulLowrance]

Absolutely incredible interview. Seems they got it, congrats to them.

They made it fool-proof in their demand of science to test their systems.

Now, lets see if they live or if the scientists will actually publish the results.....

After reading thier patent, it is EASY to see why the system will work...

I hope you're correct!  If Steorn turns out like all the others and just fade away then we cannot allow this to discourage any "free energy" research.

Publish.

As part of our formation of the new association, I have designed a toy that could be used as a proof of concept that relies on a low energy magnetic actuator (LEMA) to demonstrate the energy stored in magnets.  I would like to, before I continue, get some more feedback on Steorn's LEMA patent, like how much energy would be required to move the shield, as compared to moving the shield without the magnets present.  At the moment, I cannot find anything that presents test results of the low energy feature of this actuator.  I know that someone on the steorn forum posted their "LEMA" out of hard drive parts: http://www.steorn.net/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=13112&page=3#Item_25, but it's a bit different than Steorn's LEMA, and he said that a feather could move the shield.

I would like though, some actual test results.  I haven't found any references that have built specifically Steorn's LEMA nor any tests.  If I had the resources, I would have built one already and posted the test results.

The temporary website of the new association is here until the poll for the new name ends on Sept. 30, 2006.

Mechanical shielding or field mitigation at the sticky point is nothing new. The torbay motor is a similar concept, it moves the magnet itself instead of placing a shield in front of it.

Mumetal shields are widely used in hdd's and I have a fair amount of it in my garage, salvaged from hard drives. It does do a really good job of shielding, enough to get it past the sticky point for sure, but it's not light. Moving it with a feather would be a feat of engineering.

Hi gn0stik,
What part of the harddrive are you refering to as a shield? the casing?
Thanks

It's the piece of metal the Magnets are attached to...
