    Ha, brilliant - just a constant stream of bullshit.

    I'd love to hear how he thinks a bit of epoxy resin would stop anyone who knows what they are doing from reverse engineering it - especially at the Chinese factory where they make the fricken thing.

    And there are new restrictions on shipping Li batteries by air - and this applies to loose batteries, not ones shipped already installed in devices.

    Next: Ocubes can't be shipped due to global warming.

    But this is reasonable. Even prudent. They create energy in addition to the trapped solar energy. There should probably be a worldwide embargo on transporting, producing, or even thinking about them.

    It's OK, he will never get shipping clearance. There are strict new restrictions on time slicing technology, not to mention all sorts of other made up shit.

    It looks like s∞n transformed into t∞morrow. Actually t∞day, since it looks like that answer was posted yesterday:



    The question is though whether t∞morrow yesterday is t∞day today, or t∞morrow again.

    Yeah, it's time to reduce a 100% failure rate to just 25%. Nothing can go wrong.

    IIRC Arthur C Clarke actually feared that global warming would be caused by some overunity device.

    With Steorn it is a double whammy: messing with thermodynamics AND fucking with the space-time continuum.

    Since he was generally equipped to tell his arse from his elbow, I would doubt it, unless in jest.

    And here hangs my latent hope... And my hopeful dream... The universe is full of energy... ( I still remain very skeptical of the principle of "dark energy", although I'm coming around to dark matter ), I am deeply interested in alternative energy technologies, and I'm not convinced there is no way to draw energy from the general background of the universe... If we can use a little bit of of Jupiters gravity to speed up a space probe, then why can't we use SOMETHING from our current position in time/space to power our needs? There are a miriad of forces at work out there...
    ( just for the record.... I haven't seen one venture that meets its claims to date...)

    It depends what you mean. On the whole you can siphon off a little bit of energy from a stream that is naturally going from somewhere to somewhere else. That's why PJH's claims don't make sense - you need both a cold sink and a hot source to wangle power out of heat for your own use. But if you are just sitting in the middle of something, as a fish floats in water, it's pretty hard to see how you can pile it up for profit.

    From FB:

    So I had this company written off as delusional but they seem to have progressed pretty far. Can any engineers, physicists or material scientists give me some ideas of how bonkers this is?
    Can this be in any way possible without violating conservation of energy?
    If it's real it's frightening.

    Well, another week has gone by, and Steorn behaves as we expect Steorn to behave. Broken deadlines and broken promises all over again. The biggest fraud in the "free energy" community so far.

    But if you can damn the streams that supply the water ..... Of course I don't subscribe to PJH's claims, ( even though I like his style) ... But I don't discredit every concept of finding and more importantly utilising a source of energy ) in our "sphear of influence" .... The universe is large and wonderfull.... ( and I have been drinking ROBOT, so I can claim full denial tomorrow

    Fuck Steorn....it's the weekend... Have a drink, chill out, laugh with your friends and contemplate Monday without any free energy devices!!!

    That keypad really doesn't fit the case properly at all...big gaps at the top and bottom.

    Interesting how the fb page said it only came in red. It doesn't much look like the sort of phone they designed or promised.
