Perhaps the only thing more impressive than claimed possession of an "
infinite free energy" machine is the refusal to give-in under the weight of the world's skepticism-turned ire. "We screwed up," admitted
Steorn's CEO Sean McCarthy yesterday after their
failed demonstration, but "if we were here to rig a demo, we'd all be here watching a wheel spin." As shyster-Sean explains, Steorn brought three systems to London, one of which they got working for "about 4-hours" on Tuesday night. As we all know by now, it mysteriously ceased to function after it was moved to the display room. At that point, there was a breakdown of the watchmaker-quality bearings causing friction to "go to hell." Sean no longer attributes the failings to the lamp heat, lamenting only that his team doesn't know the cause. Moving forward Sean alluded to a less "covert and cryptic" Steorn as they attempt to regain the confidence (they had it?) of the public and more importantly, their shareholders who are more than likely discussing matters with legal counsel at this very moment. Still, he promised to return. Next time, however, the system will already be up and running before the demonstration is announced. While we seriously doubt they've circumvented the laws of our physical world, half the fun of any good scam (and this is a good'n) is picking apart the components to reveal the truth.

I think if you look at the big picture, method, opportunity, and motive in this scam become very clear. A company with experience in credit card fraud looks through it's files and finds the best scam it ever came across. It then reproduces this scam under the guise of legit company, produces a failure and in the end says, "Well we're an IT fraud company, not an engineering firm. Sorry." If all goes well, they get out of jail in 6 months and retire on the "lost" investment monies.
The anatomy of a good scam.
If YOU were going to unveil something like this wouldn't you at least put the 'nice t-shirt' on and tuck it in?!
This guy just oozes "I'm lying" all the way through this video... especially the answer in the last minute to 'Where are the other machines?"
Ha.
I agree . . . to much makes sense on the side of Tesla once you start investigating. I watched a clip last night of Einstein supporting Tesla's theories in regard to the 'ether' in a vacuum.
Galileo has launched!
Oh wait, I forgot, the Earth is flat.
I believe such a stunt is perhaps designed to discourage many of the garden variety researchers who are observed to be close enough to real (and therefore dangerous) discoveries, into abandoning their research. Perhaps resulting in an appreciable reduction in monitoring/containment efforts. At this point, only those maverick researchers emboldened by the fiasco into redoubling their efforts would require constant monitoring.
Separating the 'Men' from the 'boys' as it were, and enabling more efficient deployment of 'assets' among the intelligence community.
I mean, something or someone's got to give sooner....or later.
The illusion of control managed by TPTB is much like a cloud....the correct humidity level is critical to avoid keeping that cloud from condensing or evaporating. A job, which relevancy fluctuates with increasing rapidity these days....

I saw this little "meeting" live on their webcam feeds (no audio though). After they talked for a while, as seen here, Sean allowed the cover to be removed from the center table and appeared to be talking more with several people about the technology. (I saw lots of gesturing towards the circular part of the frame.) I'm wondering what happened to *that* footage?
It seems to me that all of us should be breaking our ----- to find some alternate fuel supply and be able to use it NOW, instead of making fun of someone who is actually trying to DO something. Big money better step up because if something isn't done soon our EARTH is GONE. The oceans motor is slowing down due to melted poles and big money burys it's head. It's ashame.
I'm sorry to be so negative but someone has to say something worth thinking about.

Rhonda, don't worry, Earth won't be gone. That's virtually impossible unless we literally devise a humongous a-bomb and literally blow it to pieces.
Now, sure, big chunk of the population may die, terrible environmental crisis, unheard of before economic crisis, health disasters. But, we'll survive.
And maybe we'll learn something in the process. Who knows, maybe this will make us smarter in the future regarding environment handling.
Regarding both sides of the fence:
Society needs both pessimists and optimists, the optimist invents the airplane, the pessimist invents the parachute.
Certainly the "laws of thermodynamics" are simply man's interpretation of his relative understanding of the universe, not immutable actualitites. As one of you stated, the "laws" are subject to change as our understanding evolves. Although some of you more pragmatic posters seem to believe that 150 years of scientific scrutiny is enough to "categorically" prove the law, I'm less sure about humanity's overall knowledge at this point.
There does seem to be a disconnect in the scientific community regarding energies and their behaviour. Hence the lack of a unified theory. Rummy was right, "we can't know what we don't know" :D
I vote for optimism, after all, if the world were only comprised of pessimists, we'd only have nice, light sofa coverings and never get off the ground.
