One thing that is striking about Steorn is the confidence they display when discussing their technology. They never qualify their claims with words like, “perhaps”, “maybe”, or “possibly”. They make their extremely bold and (to many) impossible claims in a straightforward way, and with a straight face.
Here are just a few examples.
“Orbo technology represents a revolution in energy production and use. It offers a convenient, clean and constant supply of energy at the point of use” ( www.steorn.com)
“Orbo is an overunity technology . . . you can put a certain amount of energy into a device and take more energy out of it. It defies one of the most basic scientific principles . . . What we are offering is not just some new cool technology, it is a real opportunity for us as a species and us as a community to change everything” (Sean McCarthy, Steorn Launch Video)
“Orbo is a technology that creates energy from magnetic interactions.” (http://www.steorn.com/orbo/what/)
“Perhaps one of the most misunderstood part of Orbo is power output. In an Orbo system the power output is simply a function of the rotational speed of the system. Hence power output is scalable. There are no theoretical limits to the power output that can be produced, however there will be a significant amount of engineering work . . . The availability of free energy will change everything, the availability of free energy in the form of Orbo is even more significant since it can be engineered directly into devices, i.e. no grid connections are required. So Orbo will impact every aspect of our lives.” (http://www.freeenergytimes.com/?p=46)
Some people have concluded that such extrordinary claims are proof that Steorn are either lying, deluded, or involved in some elaborate spoof — that no one could seriously say these kinds of things.
But so far, the company is acting very much like they mean what they say and are perfectly serious about their claims. The way the current demonstration is set up — and especially what they say they will be doing in the coming few weeks — indicate that they are going to demonstrate in as reasonable way as is practical that they have a world changing technology. Certainly an extraordinary claim like Steorn’s needs to be backed up by an extraordinary level of evidence for people to pay attention. From all appearances it seems to me that the confidence of Steorn can be attributed to fact that they are one hundred per cent convinced that they have what they say they have.
