Steorn?s upcoming demo in London , Uk !?

[hartiberlin]

Here is another camera 4 angle view , so there you can see some spot lights
probably heating the plexiglas too much,
so there was too much friction from this plexiglas wheel,
as CEO Sean said in their forum.

Hmm, didn?t they think about when they had planned the exhibition ?
They should have used better bearings...

If the device won't work inside with that small amount of lightning, it will work even worse if placed outside in the sun.
There appear to be around 13 spotlights. I presume they are rated at a maximum of 60W each. Most are pointed at the walls, and only a few at the center of the room.
Even if all of the lights were pointed directly at the device, which appears to take up 1m^2, the Watts/m^2 is:
13*60 = 780Watts/m^2  (This is assuming that 100% of the energy is directed at the device, which it isn't)
- The sun gives off well over 1kW/m^2 outside on a blue sky day.

I'm not buying it

its not related to the light, I am sure its another thing they don't want to talk about it

Is this a demonstration of the final product or some ad-hoc toy to showcase the perpetual motion? I was under the impression it was the later on display as just a weight is being lifted. I'm curious if the weight return will buffer the force of gravity?

@TheOne

They use intense light as an excuse. 


But I agree with you - the reason may be that it isn't OU, but just a commercial stunt.
