Clean, Free, Endless Energy?

Imagine emission free, cost free, and endless energy. Never having to recharge your cell phone or gas up your car. The actual creation of energy in defiance of what we hold to be one of the fundamental tenets of physics, that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Sounds like science fiction, but that is exactly what one Irish based company is promising on it's website, www.steorn.net. Steorn recently placed an add in the Economist calling on physicists to verify their research.

Steorn is making three claims for its technology:

  1. The technology has a coefficient of performance greater than 100%.
  2. The operation of the technology (i.e. the creation of energy) is not derived from the degradation of its component parts.
  3. There is no identifiable environmental source of the energy (as might be witnessed by a cooling of ambient air temperature).
Still think it's science fiction? Check out their website and decide for yourself.

It is not Science Fiction, it is Irish Fiction. These claims are boasted every so often when the Irish scientists stumble out of the pub, having consumed many a Guiness, and remember there follies when they wake a wee bit earlier than normal in the morn.

Having the Irish stubborness (which this Irish man knows much about), they must defend their rants.

Another pint here Boniface (a name meaning bartender or tavern keeper)!
