Does anyone know the specific Irish patent laws? In the US you have a full year after a public demonstration/sale before you even have to apply for a patent.

I believe US patent are different from patents in the rest of the world. IIRC (and IANAL), everywhere except the US if you disclose before you file the patent, either someone else can patent it first or you can't patent it yourself. So that might be why Steorn is not telling anyone anything about their infinite energy thing.

Is This Related?

amm ok let's start...!

i dont know if this has to do something essential to the steorn case but when i run a general lookup on the steorn.com i have found that 33 different registered addresses (said to )belong to companies use this ip address hosted on the server NS1.LIQUIDWEB.COM domained by the Liquid Web Inc.

also i have found out that the technical contact of the steorn ltd is represented by a company dynaserve online..

there is no name mentioned. But an e-mail is said to be registered to the personal domain of dynaserve online.

dnsanminSPLATdynaserve.com
................................................................

i am really sorry that i do not analyse my speculations and foundings but i need to go before i can finish the reply post. please if there is something new to your research try to search it too.

the e-mail address is valid. and the dynaserve is registered. though i have not yet found to whom(it is registered)

By the way, liquidweb is a valid hosting company in Lansing, MI - I know, a friend of mind works there. He said he sits right next to the technical contact for that domain - not that that matters at all, I gather they don't know a thing about it.

Which sounds about right, really. *shrug*

Just FYI.

The CEO of Steorn was on FoxNews tonight and the video can be found in their video section (Video > Enless Energy Supply?)

It is an interesting video, but does not give away any more information than they've previously released.

[DrBunker]

Something similar might have been mentioned before but I think what's most interesting about the interview is that it supports the view that this isn't an ARG. It now seems that Steorn thinks they really are onto something - they wouldn't want this much publicity unless they were serious.

[atdt1991]

You know, I was skeptical before, but now that they've been on FOX NEWS, I know they must be legit! Clearly FOX is known for Fair and Balanced reporting!

Oops, sorry, left my Sarcasm Hat on.

That said... yeah. I have to agree that this is unlikely to be an ARG. I'm still going to dissect everything that comes of it until something definitive is known.

Points about the fox video:

First, it's a guy in a ruffled shirt in front of a monitor. Yeah, not very impressive appearance-wise. Not that all businesses are, mind you. I certainly would never look slick on TV - I prefer to be behind the camera, thank you.

Second, he seems to be pretty earnest. If he were, say, an actor, I'd be much impressed.

Third... american flag? That's not a graphic, is it? It looks like an actual american flag in the background (upper left corner). I only noticed it at the end, and this IS FOX, i wouldn't put it past them to put in a pointless american flag graphic.

Uhmmm... Did Sean travel to the US for the interview, but not so far as FOX Studios? Is he put up somewhere, which would explain the jury-rigged appearance of the location? ... or is this something suspicious? Hm.

And as an addendum - I would trust this company/product more if they spent any time at all addressing the idea that this may not break the laws of thermodynamics, it may simply be generating energy by grabbing it from some other source in a way we don't understand.

[DrBunker]

I take your point about Fox news. Even being English I've seen enough of it to realise that it's pretty sensationalistic. The Daily Show's main purpose seems to be to ridicule their reporting style. I'm more interested in the fact that Steorn would agree to go on there, not that Fox would give them the airtime.

One thing that keeps irking me is their insistence that this isn't world changing. SM seems so under whelmed and appeared genuinely surprised at the level of attention they've garnered yet they've still got a pdf (http://www.steorn.net/media/downloads/steorn_potential_uses.pdf) showing what the technology could be used for. Helpfully they point out that it could power a watch...or a super tanker. Pretty wide reaching.

[atdt1991]

That reminds me - I don't hear a damn thing about what kind of draw this thing can take. He says the magnetism is totally contained within the device - this device is clearly scalable, but what's the size-to-power ratio? What kind of amps/volts are we talking? I mean, a supertanker takes a f***load of energy to move - this is NOT the same as an energy-star appliance.
