Here is one for all the scientists and conspiracists.

IMO, I dont see how it could be possible, but what is just as interesting is peoples reactions to it.

Well, Steorn, the company involved seems to be a one-trick pony. This is their one contribution to the scientific world, and it breaks the laws of physics. Hell of an entry act if you ask me 
They also claim that they are as confused as everyone else when it comes how in hell it works. Can't say I'm buying it.
Still, it would be interesting to see if they go through their plan of getting well reputed scientists involved to back it up, and how that one turns up.
Of course, most scientists won't touch anything tagged as perpetual motion with a bargepole, so we'll see.

Probably not, in this case; we already know everything there is to know about how magnets interact with each other, and we KNOW this doesn't happen. ________________________________________________

I don't buy it either but, hey.. big hoaxes have made people very rich in the past so their motives are pretty clear to me.

Quote: we already know everything there is to know about how magnets interact with each other
We will never know everything there is. We think we know everything there is to know about magnets, but the thing is we have discovered strange stuff before, take it when we super cool some things to get them close to 0 degrees Kelvin. Strange stuff happens, superconductivity and various other things.
And there is always someone who comes along and finds a original twist on some idea. Lots of things in life come about because we were looking for something else and end up finding something new.
This "unlimited energy" thing though, its probably 99.9% bunk though.

They have actively refused any investment, sale of licensing of their technology until it has been publicly verified by scientists. Whatever their plan is, I don't think it's profit.

Energy has to come from somewhere.. even if you burn something enery went into makeing the fuel. The law of preservation of energy prevents an infinite energy source.

So far as we know. There's always the possibility that current knowledge will turn out to be wrong, but after three THOUSAND years of playing with magnets, we can be utterly confident that it won't be done this way. ________________________________________________

Actually, if history is any guide, then the current scientific knowledge will most assuredly turn out to be wrong.
Each time science assumed it had the answers and a correct view of physics, something came along and showed it was wrong.

They did say it broke the laws of physics...
Also, something tells me that it's not CREATING energy... it's simply converting it. And, in the conversion... it gets multiplied. That doesn't sound too off the wall to me. We do it with car stereos all the time. Though, to a much lesser extent. --- --- --- ---

No, we don't do it with car stereos.
A car stereo takes a low power audio-containing power stream and a high-power plain power stream and maps the low-power stream onto the high power stream, amplifying it. Thus, the output is a much-amplified version of the low-power stream.
It does not create power at any point: it in fact dissipates it.

You missed what I said...
I said we've been converting energy for a long time. Car stereos are an example. Do I need to break it down any farther, or has it been cleared up? The only difference is car stereos don't output more than they receive. --- --- --- ---

Well that's a big difference.
That's like saying "we've been making machines that get within 1 trillionth of absolute zero: why can't we go negative?" or "my car can go very slow: 0 miles per hour! can't it go negative? it isn't much farther! (not referring to going backwards)" or "we can make monitors that use less and less energy, and some that use nearly none: can we make a computer monitor that magically makes energy?" etc

this isnt the first time ive seen this "story" reported. there are apparently people in america that also claim to have done this task, however they claim they are forced to stay quiet because oil tycoons and various patent holders are a bit griped that if an energy source such as were to exist, it would effectivley mean that they are going to go out of business rather quickly.
as much as i doubt theyve built a physics-defying machine capable of ridding the world entirley of oil tycoons and pollution, id like to see it happen.

n00b question:
What happens to energy that is sucked inside a black hole? Does it get out eventually? I heard it doesn't. Since blackholes eventually cease to exist, doesn't that mean that they permanently destroyed energy? Doesn't that simple fact contradict this physics rule that no energy is created nor lost?

Various theories abound on what happens to energy once it's gone into a black hole; Hawking has suggested that it can "evaporate" over time. Since there's no convenient black hole nearby that we can run tests on, it's kinda hard to know for sure. ________________________________________________

The black hole gains mass from the energy (E=MC^2).

Give me one example of a phenomenon in the entire universe where energy is destroyed.

This is most likely a Viral ad campaign. From what I have been able to find out it is most likely to be for Halo 3. Altho both parties have denied this it is remarkebly similar to the viral campaign for halo 2 which was also denied at the time.
The complete lack of info given out by the website and the fact that 5 years ago Streon was a company that advised buisnesses on e-commerce also add weight to the viral ad theory.

I think the whole concept is quite interesting 
There's only one thing worse then scientists arguing about stuff that they believe in; and that's programmers arguing about code layout 
They say they've filed 7 Patents, can anyone find the link ?

I don't need to. I just feel like there are forces in the universe, energies, that are not used. If we use them / exploit them, infinite energy is possible. This "breaktrough", true or fake, is one out of several done in the last 10 or 20 years. Eventually, perhaps by the time we start running out oil and other stuff currently used for energy, one we'll be recognized as "not fake". You'll see!
I bet 5mill isk we're going to have free energy in the future. By the time I'm really old, we'll see if I'm right or not... If EVE is still Online by then
