STEORN DEMO LIVE & STREAM in Dublin, December 15th, 10 AM

Let's not forget to giggle.
My 1st circuit board.

I like the smile on your face and your enthusiasm!  Keep it up and keep messing up those cutting boards!

it's a flawed argument... the big bang theory is arguably the most extraordinary claim ever. 'at first there was nothing, then it exploded'. this violates numerous laws of physics, yet there is no extraordinary evidence for it and it is taught as gospel by nasa and institutions of higher learning around the world. why is steorn to be held to a standard that popular science is not?

good point !

Ideas that have successfully challenged the status quo have typically followed three steps:

1. Rote denial, based on "The Laws of Science".
2. Assail of the inventor's character.
3. Acceptance as though the idea is self-evident.

At one time, the earth was flat.  Not because scientists used to be stupid, but because there is stability for the cultural elite in the status quo.

Back in 2007, Sean gave a presentation To University College Dublin (UCD)

At the very end of the first video (last 10 seconds), http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqoZWaK4AtY , Sean says it's not really an engineering problem, but is a problem with "tape price".

I'm not sure if he said "tape price" or something else.  If I understood him correctly, then what could he be referring to as "tape price".  Could he be referring to a tape wound core?

The tape wound core approaches the perfect magnetic circuit configuration.  The tape wound core configuration also provides a good degree of self-shielding from external magnetic fields. The single, uniform, magnetic path causes any entering magnetic field to split into two and induce equal but opposite voltages in the two halves of a uniformly distributed winding. Thus, there tends to be no voltage apparently induced in the total winding.

Here's a few interesting links about "Tape Wound Cores":

Could Steorn's cores be tape wound?

... 'at first there was nothing...

If we do not see anything and can't detect it - doesn't mean "nothing"

...this violates numerous laws of physics

you forget to put "today’s laws of physics" - and laws exists to be broken. 
and also that can be reason for:

...no extraordinary evidence for it ...

but lot of people around the glob working on it. 

Thanks,
