Irish Company Claims Free Energy

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the and-a-robot-in-every-house dept.

raghus writes "An Irish company has thrown down the gauntlet to the worldwide scientific community to test a technology it has developed that it claims produces free energy. The company, Steorn, says its discovery is based on the interaction of magnetic fields and allows the production of clean, free and constant energy — a concept that challenges one of the basic rules of physics." I can't wait until I can use this free energy to power my flying car and heat my aquarium of mermaids.

    They talk in circles and can't provide any definite explanations as to how something like this would work.

    Duh. If they explained how it worked, then anybody who wanted to could build one. How are they supposed to make money?

    Hey, how about something that runs on gravity, since there's an unending supply of that, eh?

    There's no reason they shouldn't be able to. My uncle powered his farm on wind. A lot of people use the sun. The only reason people don't use gravity, or the earth's magnetic field, is just because of fud from the energy industry. After we run out of oil, *then* suddenly gravity-power or wind-power will be a good idea.

    It's people like you who have set back civilization by centuries.

    Next time you're going to post something, try posting something you wouldn't mock in the first place. That'd save me the 2.3 seconds. Thanks.
