This came to my attention via the Guardian a week or so ago:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/story/0,,1858134,00.html
These guys claim to have invented a magnet based device which can generate apparently unlimited amounts of free, clean energy. Seems highly unlikey, and the way the whole thing is being sold makes it appear like some weird PR stunt on behalf of something else (there were theories about XBOX games and such about).
Here's some more links:
The company's own site: http://www.steorn.net/frontpage/default.aspx
James Randi's site: http://www.randi.org/jr/2006-08/082506yet.html#i1
Steorn Watch: http://www.steornwatch.com/
The guy who runs Steorn Watch seems to think that Steorn actually beleive they've got a real working device... which is frankly world-changing news if its true. But then why all the suffling around? Why don't they just publish a paper for everyone to see and test, instead of this somewhat clandestine selecting of a jury of 12 scientists...?
