The perpetual myth of free energy – Not so much a myth anymore…

Irish company Steorn made headlines around the world when it took out a full page advert in The Economist claiming to have developed a device that produced “free energy”.
Throughout early July, the company planned to display the device to the public for the first time.
Professor Sir Eric Ash, electrical engineer and former rector of Imperial College London, visited the demonstration for the BBC News website.

Marvelous things can happen in this world.

As an engineer, whenever I look at a new baby I say categorically that there can be no such thing – it’s far too complicated to work.

Yet we know this lack of faith in the marvelous is misplaced.

So, the fact that a device or an invention looks too marvelous to be true is not conclusive evidence that it isn’t.

I believe that it is thinking on such lines that encourages inventors – and there have been many since the 12th Century – to pursue what would be a true marvel: a perpetual motion machine.

The most recent attempt is from Mr Sean McCarthy, the Chief Executive Officer of an Irish company called Steorn.

His invention, known as the “Orbo”, is a mechanical device which uses powerful magnets on the rim of a rotor and further magnets on an outer shell.

Mr McCarthy is convinced that it is working. He took a full page advertisement in the Economist last year to say so, and to attract volunteer scientists to check the authenticity of his claims.

They are still in the process of doing so.

Constant universe

In the meantime Mr McCarthy was hoping to demonstrate the machine to the public at the London Kinetica Museum, which is devoted to displaying dynamic art, particularly of artefacts at the interface of science and art.

The demonstration was to run over 10 days starting on 6 July. Unfortunately, there was a technical defect, attributed by Mr McCarthy to the excessive heat produced by lights used to illuminate the device so that cameras could stream pictures of it in action across the web.

He hopes to be able to demonstrate the machine at a later date.

Mr McCarthy appreciates that if the device really works it is in contradiction of the law of conservation of energy, which he sees as a dogma of science.

There is an implied reference to religious dogmas, and it is just here that one can see the source of the misunderstanding.

Most religions feature a multiplicity of dogmas.

A person who is an adherent of that religion may not necessarily believe each and every one of the dogmas. Beliefs cannot of course be chosen a la carte – but there is a degree of flexibility which can accommodate quite significant differences.

The law of conservation of energy is not like this.

It states that the total amount of energy in an isolated system remains constant, although it may change forms, into heat or kinetic energy for example.

In short, law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Denying its validity would undermine not just little bits of science – the whole edifice would be no more. All of the technology on which we built the modern world would lie in ruins.

There is no flexibility in the acceptance of the law as true – at all times, and in all circumstances.

It is the failure to appreciate the difference between this scientific law and a law of religion or of society which is why we know – without having to examine details of a particular device – that Orbo cannot work.

Sole focus

So, last Friday a number of people turned up at the museum and were told that the demonstration would have to be postponed, indefinitely.

I was fortunate, however, in that Mr McCarthy kindly agreed to see me.

He is a very friendly person aged just over 40, trained originally as a mechanical engineer.

He has also worked in software engineering and on control systems for the oil industry.

He came across his invention by chance whilst developing an independent power system for CCTV cameras. The company, founded in 2000 and supported privately, is now wholly devoted to developing Orbo.

When asked about the conservation of energy Mr McCarthy says quite frankly that he does not know where the energy that provides perpetual motion comes from. He wonders whether he is somehow harnessing so-called “zero point” energy, a type of residual energy found in a system and first proposed by Einstein.

Zero point energy is the lowest possible energy a system can have and therefore cannot be removed.

He also points out that cosmologists believe in the presence of dark matter and dark energy. Might they somehow help his cause?

I believe that Mr McCarthy is truly convinced of the validity of his invention. It is, in my view, a case of prolonged self deception.

I ended our conversation by giving totally unsolicited advice: to drop Orbo and get back to software engineering.

It would not have been unreasonable had he then grabbed me by the collar and thrown me out of the window. He did none of these things and was totally genial.

Might I have convinced him? I do hope so.

There is a lot of mis-interpretation from Sir Ash here. This machine is not a perpetual motion machine. The law of conservation is respected. Do people really think that wind, light(Sun), water, nuclear, coal would be the only sources of energy this planet would see? People will have to realise that our scientific community haven’t discovered every sciences yet… we have made a long way for sure, but we still have some discoveries to make.

The energy Mr McCarthy was referring to is a new type, called zero-point. It is said to be virtually unlimited. Some work made by Tesla references this type of energy.

The journalists reporting the news will have, at some point, to get up to speed with all this, and stop calling these new machines what they are NOT: Perpetual Motion Machines.

Steorn demonstrates free energy technology in public forum

Demonstration at Kinetica Museum, London, UK is world’s first outing for Steorn’s Orbo technology and will be streamed live around the world

London, 4th July 2007. Steorn, an Irish technology development company, will publicly demonstrate a real-life application of its Orbo free energy technology for the first time. The demonstration will take place in the Kinetica Museum gallery, London UK on Wednesday 4th July. People around the world will be able to watch the exhibit via a live web stream.

The real-time streaming of the Orbo free energy technology demonstration can be accessed via steorn.com/orbo/demo from 6pm Eastern Time (ET) today. People logging onto the link can select different camera angles so they can see the exhibit from various positions. The Kinetica Museum exhibit will thereafter be open to members of the public from Thursday July 5th until Friday July 13th.

Steorn’s Orbo technology is based on the interaction of magnetic fields and allows the production of clean, free and constant energy. The exhibit on display will demonstrate work being done by the spinning of a clear polycarbonate wheel with no recourse to external energy. Orbo technology is fully scalable and can be applied to virtually all devices requiring energy, from cellular phones to cars.

On 18th August 2006, Steorn placed an advertisement in The Economist to attract the attention of the world’s leading scientists working in the field of experimental physics. The advertisement issued a challenge to the world’s scientific community to step forward and prove its claims wrong.

Several thousand scientists stepped forward to take the challenge, but only 22 were appointed to test Steorn’s claims. The review process began in January 2007 and is still ongoing. Steorn will publish the results of the process following its completion.

Sean McCarthy, CEO of Steorn, commented: “We’ve decided to demonstrate our Orbo technology in a global and public forum to raise greater awareness amongst the product development community. We want to give equal access to developers so they can use this technology to power products that will bring benefits to everyone. Ultimately, it’s also a reminder to the world that this free energy technology is being validated and will definitely happen.

“We expect the vast majority of our audience to view the exhibit online, but rather than just stream a demonstration of the technology from an undisclosed location, we purposely decided to have a tangible working device that people could come and physically see for themselves.”

The exhibition at the Kinetica Museum, in Spitalfields Market, East London, will be open for a private view only today but will be open to the public from every day from 11am to 7pm, Thursday 5th July until Friday 13th July inclusive, when the exhibition will close. Admission is free and the museum is based at SP2 Pavilion, Spitalfields Market, London E1 6AA.

Notes to the editor:

Steorn was founded in 2000 and has developed cutting edge technologies for third parties, including optical disc forensic analysis and plastic card fraud prevention technologies. It is now focused on the commercialisation of its Orbo free energy technology.

Update 4/7/07 23:30

Due to slight technical difficulties we will now be publishing the live stream as of Thursday 5th July.
