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

Is it just me, or are they over doing it with all the thick acrylic? ..maybe to keep the lights from effecting it?

Bleh, is this another Rube Goldberg attempt at overunity?

These are the batteries they used.
I think one of these, in my giant wall clock, would run about 5 years!

That battery cannot keep that orbo going more than 2 months. Probably more like 1 month.

The real issue here Paul is not to speculate about the number of months, it's to remember that you told everyone to be sure to start recording the Steorn live feeds because something big was about to happen.

Well, it didn't happen and Sean was not kidnapped by the MIB.

I can assure you that you can continue testing supercapacitors without any government agents watching over you.  You can always burn CDs and give them to your friends and stay underground if you feel a compelling need.  Sneakernet still works pretty well and you can always wear some Groucho Marx glasses to hide your Sneakernet packets.

Steorn, why use a rechargeable D-cell battery, why not use a aaa cell or aa? They are all 1.2 volt battery's, a 900 mah aaa battery would be more believable for the duration of this demo.

"and then again I repeat myself, you have to convert one form of energy into another to do work and each time you convert energy into another you lose efficiency in each transaction... Period!  does anybody think they can break facts with their bare mind, you will hurt your head if you think you can. it is like somebody violently banging their head against an unbreakable wall for no apparent reason."

Your reasoning is flawed on various levels, you make the assumption that the system must lose energy because it is a closed system when of course this is simply not the case. Quantum mechanics wave/particle theory dictates motion is inherent in all matter as absorbtion/emission therefore there are no closed systems. As well you have assumed that energy lost in conversion cannot be compensated for by energy gains from external sources due to tha fact that conversion is in itself a disturbance of ambient conditions. Consider why a signal can be heard on almost every frequency from a simple crysatal radio, the static noise between man-made stations is in fact a signal and it constitutes energy recieved from an external source. This signal was "converted" and losses were incurred yet the signal remains and no energy was required by the operator to perform work on the speaker coil. It would seem a simple crystal radio  contradicts your "theory" that a conversion process must always imply losses in an absolute sense.

The real issue is one of perception, you may think any battery can be slapped on this motor for the same reason milehigh believes any old capacitor could be used, while others believe they should just throw in a load of some sort. All these views make no consideration for the properties or qualities of the components in relation to the operation of the circuit, does it seem reasonable that we can just throw in any old components and expect the circuit to operate in exactly the same way? If you look at the history of the people who supposedly had free energy devices you will find all of them, 1)were observant of everything around them--every little detail, 2)meticulous in the craftmanship of their devices, 3)had an insatiable curiosity. The devil is in the details:)
