Steorn watchers may be wondering when Steorn’s next experiment will be happening. Actually it is going on right now. To see the excitement all you have to do is to go to camera 3 on Steorn’s website.

According to Sean McCarthy they are running a “soak test” on one of their Orbo devices  in which they are measuring the strength of the magnetic domains over time. I think the intention is to run this Orbo this for seven days and show that over an extended period of time there is the magnets do not lose strength in an orbo configuration.

Sean also remarked recently in Steorn’s forum that they are using “optics” (optical encoders) for the timing of the electronics instead of reed switches in these devices which apparently are much less likely to fail.

It might be fun to sit and watch the orbo for a few days to see if anyone replaces it – or at least changes the battery.

Today on Steorn’s forum on their web site, CEO Sean McCarthy made this request.

Here is the video of yesterday’s presentation by Steorn broken up ito five sections.  The first three clips comprise the demonstration/experiment section and the last two are of the very interesting question and answer session in which Sean McCarthy deals with quite a lot of probing and sometimes critical questions. McCarthy takes pains to try and explain what Steorn’s business model is and why the company is not creating generators, batteries or other commercial products.

In my opinion this was a much more complete and detailed presentation than the one Steorn carried out in December. In some ways this was a repeat of the earlier experiment with details added. Sean McCarthy said the company had gotten feedback with suggestions to improve on the first one.

We also seem to get to see the company in a more up-close-and-personal way – and are even introduced to Max, a key Steorn engineer (with a fascinating French/Irish accent!) who takes over at certain times during the experiment.

In a public experiment conducted in Dublin, Ireland today, Sean McCarthy, Steorn’s CEO compared an Orbo based device with a normal pulse motor. Each device looked similar in size and shape was hooked up to the same supply/switch connected to an oscilloscope.

In the demonstration McCarthy attempted to show by the traces on the scope  that in the normal pulse motor, CEMF (counter electromotive force) was detected and in the Orbo system there was no CEMF. In the Orbo device Steorn claims that kinetic energy in the rotor is produced by torque generated by magnetic attraction between rotor magnets and stator coils and is unhindered by the opposing force that CEMF usually generates in a pulse motor.

McCarthy also attempted to show by use of a thermal camera that all that input electrical energy in the Orbo based system was released as heat and the rotation of the rotor was performing work over and above the input in electrical power — thus Steorn’s claim of Orbo being an overunity technology.

The experiment was followed by a fairly lengthy Q&A session in which members of the audience asked McCarthy about such things as the need for the battery in the current demo devices, Steorn’s business model and the potential usefulness of Orbo technology.

The demonstration was filmed and should be available via Steorn’s website before too long.

Just announced on by Steorn:

Unfortunately, several key people are unable to attend this evening’s presentation due to the unusually severe weather conditions. As a result, the company has taken the decision to reschedule tonight’s Talk 2. Steorn will host the Talk “Orbo Electromagnetic Interaction COP> 1” next week and will issue an announcement concerning the appointed day and time on Monday.
