If this is a ARG, I will seriously eat my hat.

Review the registration information and the history of the site. If this is an ARG I'll provide the BBQ sauce for that hat.

They say on their site that they canceled their Christmas party and donated the funds to the "Brian Rhatigan Junior Memorial Chernobyl Hope Project." Interestingly, every one of the 209 results that Google returns for "Chernobyl Hope Project" is a Steorn reference (either to their site or the video of the Steorn team shaving their heads for the cause.) Seems strange that they don't even link the "Project." Indeed, the project doesn't seem to have any website or basis in reality other than a government filing threatening to revoke the business name: [URL]http://www.cro.ie/_uploads/Croga/Involuntary_First_Iris/Invol1_2006sep15.pdf[/URL]

Given, if this is an ARG, it's one for which the creators aren't shy about registering bona fide businesses (or commandeering existing, failing ones.) Maybe this will come to be seen as the quintessential "next-generation" ARG - ARG 2.0, if you will, with an unprecedented degree of real-world credibility.

I'm relatively new to the whole ARG concept (having just recently gotten on the boat with YZ), but even my first impressions of Steorn last year were definitively "viral."

Orbo to be put on display in London...

Ever since this started, part of me wants it to work. Can you imagine how quickly and drastically the world would change?

Camera 4 of their web stream seems to be live, but nothing's happening yet... freeenergytracker says the demo will be 6pm London time (GMT/BST), so likely around 1pm EDT

Wouldn't it be awesome if they turned on the cameras a moment too soon and we all saw the chimp in a treadmill running afer a banana?

So, you can watch the live feed right now. Nothing happening, except some guy standing at a computer typing. Something plexiglass in the center. 4 camera angles to choose from.
