If you have spent much time looking at the internet chatter going on following Steorn’s latest (and final) demo, you will see that there are a number of observers who were underwhelmed. Many people it seems were hoping to see something with more of a “wow” factor than what Steorn displayed yesterday. (According to steorn.com the video of the event will be posted February 1)
So today on Steorn’s public forum CEO Sean McCarthy spent quite a bit of time responding to some of the criticisms and laying out the reasons why the demo was presented in the way it was. You can see his comments at this link – McCarthy posts under the name “Steorn”.
Here are some excerpts of his comments in that thread.
“Ok – a little entertaining to read some of the comments this morning. Let me state something very clearly here. The system demonstrated last night is clear evidence of over-unity, or clear evidence of fraud. We either rigged the scope or we did not – and we did not…
“Ok, we are not into showing magic tricks, so if you want flashing lights go some place else. The experiments shown are targeted at a specific audience, indeed the final nature of how to demonstrate the core effect came not from Steorn, but from the consensus opinion of those people who visited the waterways who expressed an interest in developing and had a capability to develop…
“I am not getting defensive at all – quite the opposite in fact – we have been ‘defending’ the technology for 3 years in the public arena. No more, we have shown the goods, there is no longer a question of ‘measurement’ error. Its real or fraud…
“The point about yesterday was how I started this thread (and how I will now leave it). We showed a significant energy result that can only be achived on the basis of the tech being real, or the experiment being rigged – a rigged experiment would be fraud and no doubt I would go to jail for that.”
There were a number of Q&A exchanges in this thread discussing particular details of the experiment , so I would recommend visiting the forum for detailed discussion. The quotes above provide the general position Steorn is taking.
On Steorn’s website there is now a place to sign up if you want to go in person to the Waterways centre in Dublin and test the Orbo devices in person. On the sign-up form, Steorn requests that potential testers provide their educational or professional background so it appears that they will be screening for testers they feel will be suitable candidates.
Did the demo provide conclusive proof of overunity? Apparently many are not convinced, but Sean McCarthy seems to be quite satisfied with what they showed and has said that this will be the extent of their public disclosure of the technology.
So it does appear that for many questions and doubts still linger and it remains to be seen how many have seen enough evidence to take the plunge and become paid up members of the SKDB. So while the waiting game for Steorn’s public revelations is over, the one for real-world useful Orbo powered products has just begun.
