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

[MileHigh]

Any chance those are laptop battery packs acting as the bases for the three Orbos?

Ha! Ha!  I collect my Brownie Points!

I did see something about the magnetic field configuration.

Here someone replicated the Steorn Toy, but called it the "90 Degree Magnet Rule".

To me it looks like a gate.

Anything change? Looks like it's still spinning at least. 

The problem here is that Steorn is still being very secretive. I here some people, insiders, have proof. We'll have to see.

Is it running anything? Anything at all?

Not even an LED!?!

Man! Pirate's Earthbattery does better than this.

Today was the day? Right!?

Was the real demonstration postponed again?

Steorn claims it also keeps the battery charged. If you look at the diagram it shows the pickup coils that goes to a diode, which charges the battery. So there's more than just friction, due to the pickup coils, but that's recycling the energy.

All of that other stuff on the device is more than likely a diversion and is not necessary for it to spin like it is.  They say the battery is re-charging without offering any proof.

I'm almost sure if the battery and all input connections were cut that it would spin for a long time before coming to a halt.  There is probably no current flowing through those coils to recharge the battery.

They have the entire orbo caged in plexiglas to minimize outside interferences such as air friction and pressure from people entering and exiting the building.  The entire design is based on minimizing friction and is only given a pulse of current from time to time with the battery to maintain it's RPM.

1)  Powered by a battery instead of a cap
2)  Caged in Plexiglas
3)  No External load
4)  No measurements showing the battery is being charged.
5)  More than likely has a near frictionless bearing.
6)  All they need are a few new gullible investors from this demo to pay off their previous and current investors to keep everyone happy so they can continue the cycle all over again.
7)  If they fail to obtain new investors, then this will more than likely end up in court.
8.)  A public failure like this will more than likely make any legit device in the future not to get the support it needs from the public.
9)  The powers that be, could be the cause and allowing this public failure to happen to limit public research, interest, and efforts in free alternative energy so they can stay in power.  This demo is giving us a bad reputation, which is their goal.  They know we are getting close, and this could be a big strike against us.

I'm not impressed and I have very low standards.  I want this orbo to be the real thing just like the rest of you, but I am really disappointed in this demo.

Maybe tomorrow will be a different presentation to convince me otherwise.  I want to be wrong, I really do.
