Steorn?s upcoming demo in London , Uk !?

[MeggerMan]

@Mramos,
I was about to post the Q&A link but you beat me to it.   

@Honk,
I have seen your name on the Steorn forum, I wonder if the forum members there are experimenting with re-creating the Steorn Orbo device from the scant info available?
Do you know if they have?

@All,
After watching the Steorn Q&A I think that Sean is genuine and that he pushed for a demo ahead of when he should have.
So it looks like it will be some day next week.
I wonder if they were using jewel bearings?
Ahh well, roll on next week and lets see this device run.

Regards
Rob

 ;)Explication of  the steorn  disaster  demonstration: Steorm make a prototype device of orbo with  plexiglass transparent to the kinetic show, in order to  demonstrate that did not had motors or hidden cables, and that model failure. I can not imagine that is the sense of to organize this show if they  dont have some device working, in addition to the expenses of the disaster.

   Just remembr, the thing did have to come through customs. I have had three incounters with customs and none were good. I was harrassed all three times.  I worked at an airport and was amazed at what
some people had to deal with. No love for them here.

Considering the money available Steorn could have patented the whole thing, publish the theory together with repeatable experiments and everybody could check out the thingy without Steorn's interests being jeopardized.

Any positive outcome out of an early expert assessment (under NDA) would have an investor pull his wallet to fund the initial costs for patenting and further R&D.

There would be no risk for Steorn and parties could license the technology in an early stage and optimize it.

If I were Sean I would have ordered DHL to fetch a working unit from Steorn HQ the very next day after the demo unit fell apart. As far as I know there is free trade traffic between UK and Ireland and I haven't seen magnets and wheels on the dangerous goods list. If i were Sean I would prefer that the demonstration would take place with a non-transparent, ugly piece of junk rather than me having to cancel the entire show, taking the total embarassment and having to put up excuse after excuse.

So there are two possibilities: Either Sean is completely nuts, or he has no working technology.

If one is interested in the practical side, however, probably the brute force approach of Paul Sprain would be the
successful engineering solution since the tune-up problem doesn?t seem to be so severe there.
The question with Paul Sprain?s motor is how to really confirm it?s really overunity.

The one and only way to really prove overunity is to make a self runner.
Rectify the output from a generator connected to the shaft of the motor.
Then use electronic switching to fit the voltage to the needs of the motor and controller.
Let the controller run the motor on the output from the generator only.
Connect extra loads to the generator output to do some work besides running the motor.
Let this setup run forever or at least several month to prove the overunity capacity.
Invite professionals to investigate the machine. Call in the press. Be openminded.
Most important. No hidden cables or such shit. Mount it in a clear view from all angles.

Unless Paul Sprain does this and show it publicly and also let people examine his setup closely
he doesn't have any overunity machine. It's just not enough to talk about mechanical output.
We want a self runner. Nothing else matters.
