There's an interesting story on the news right now. An Irish company has claimed to have invented a free energy device although many people are saying it must be a scam, a hoax or they're mistaken.

Anyway, it should be interesting to see how this develops.

Company claims to have developed new technology that provides unlimited free energy

August 20, 2006 Steorn, an Irish company, claims to have produced a groundbreaking (we do not use this word lightly) technology which is based on the interaction of magnetic fields and produces free, clean and constant energy. If the claims are true, the new technology will enable a significant range of benefits, from the convenience of never having to refuel your car or recharge your mobile phone, to a genuine solution to the need for zero emission energy production. It will also provide a secure supply of energy, since the components of the technology are readily available. Steorn’s technology appears to violate the ‘Principle of the Conservation of Energy’, (energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change form) considered by many to be the most fundamental principle in our current understanding of the universe. Fully aware that its claims will be considered bunkum by anyone who has graduated kindergarten, Steorn today issued a challenge to the global scientific community to test its free energy technology. Steorn has placed an advertisement in The Economist to attract the attention of the world’s leading scientists working in the field of experimental physics. From all the scientists who accept the challenge, twelve will be invited to take part in a rigorous testing exercise to prove that Steorn’s technology creates free energy. The results will be published worldwide.

We had a free energy device over 100 hundred years ago, when Nicola Tesla first figured out how to utilize the zero point energy field for providing a limitless source of energy. I think that people are only so skeptical and amazed by this idea because their minds are programmed into believing the commonly accepted falsehood that there's a limited amount of energy available in the world (and/or the universe as a whole), and that it requires some degree of effort to generate i.e. burning of fossil fuels. I'm not saying that this Steorn device is the real deal, but we shouldn't scoff until there's proof one way or another to either validate or invalidate their claims in this matter. It'll be interesting to see where this all goes.

Well! I have replied to Steorn, to offer my interest and support. We sure do need some new thinking in the energy area. I do wonder tho, how can it, be, to put more energy into a system (the world/universe) if it did not come from that system...what happens???

The basic premise is that physical reality manifests out of an infinite, limitless 'sea' of energy at the quantum level. What free energy systems do is extract some of this energy out of this zero point energy field, as it's known. So you aren't creating energy - that's impossible - just accessing the infinite sea of energy that is already all around us and making use of it.

Can't wait for the outcome of the validation process!!

Hi, I like this topic, as I see it energy isn't limited that's a well planned idea that people have been encouraged to adopt. It enhances the concept of limitation, which will be serving an agenda of lack or something similar.
Free energy devices have been around for decades. I feel as the consciousness of humanity as a whole raises itself we will get to experience many awesome new technologies in our lifetime, which in reality have probably been here for many eons of time.

Hi Andy
Have been searching around but haven't found anything to say how the challenge went. Have you heard anything more?

Aside from the obvious benefits, it would also open up possibilities of new thinking in terms of sharing. If a limited and increasingly expensive commodity like energy can suddenly be limitless and free to all, imagine that mindset being applied to less challenging aspects of sharing our planet.

Hi,
Well imagine the furore it could cause if energy is freely available and the implications for money making it could have.Obviously one will need to have the technology in place first and that wont be free will it?There have been several 'free' or more efficient energies over the years which have been either dismissed or bought by the oil companies never to be heard of again.Only a few years ago a professor from Liverpool university in the UK ran a car for 1 week on a sump full of coca-cola and his super duper ingredient with no problem at all.Result, bought by the oil companies and petrol is still an obscene cost in the UK.Going back some years earlier there was a petrol alternative which resulted in a well documented court case when two guys tried to rip off the inventor.I believe they were jailed and we never heard of the fuel again.To be honest the implications to world economy might be disastrous.Suddenly we might be telling the arab nations to stick their oil with serious implications for them and us if they withdrew their assets from foreign companies.
Without passing judgement I believe the USA is stockpiling their oil while importing from others. Is this so they can be the last nation on earth to have any oil supplies?Would this give them a grip on the world economy?

Big Oil is not interested in sharing anything, they want MONEY and lots of it. Sorry to be skeptical, but I believe that Big Oil will keep the lid on other sources of energy until the oil runs out.
