Since the end of Steorn’s public demonstration in Dublin last month there has not been too much in the way of news from Steorn.

They announced at the last live experiment that during the month of February independent testers would be able to come to the Waterways Centre and test Orbo devices for themselves. Apparently that is what is going on at the moment.

Last week Steorn issued a press release which stated:

On 30th January 2010 Steorn announced that it would make Orbo technology available for testing at the Waterways Visitor Centre.

Since then Steorn has been hosting third-party testing and finalising calorimetry tests.  This third-party testing will continue until the end of February.

Steorn will make the results of the calorimetry tests available alongside other test data in the coming weeks. These results will be pivotal to a widespread uptake of Developer (and ultimately, Commercial) Licenses. Steorn will open the SKDB to the general engineering community after these test results have been released.

Developers wishing to come and test Orbo technology at the Waterways should make a booking at http://www.steorn.com/demo/bookings/

The opening of the SKDB to developer has been delayed then until the release of independent testing results. Until then I am expecting that public information from Steorn will be limited.
