Today Steorn publicized the opening of the SKDB Lite and has invited anyone interested to join and participate in the learning community. You actually don’t have to join up to see what’s going on in there since non-members have read-only permission.
According to Steorn’s Web site:
SKDB LITE is a magnetics collaboration and development service from Steorn. You can understand, discuss and experiment in all fields of magnetics and permanent magnetic materials.
The SKDB Lite offers engineers and developers the opportunity to:
- review magnetics and engineering e-Learning content
- experience the power of the SKDB package as a development and collaboration platform
- expand and develop the community’s collective knowledge of magnetics
- create an environment where people with a common interest can share ideas
One thing conspicuously absent from the SKDB are any details of Steorn’s free energy Orbo technology. In one sense, the SKDB Lite is a “teaser” forum. You get to see the structure of the full SKDB, and see how it operates, but you don’t see any documents or e-learning modules about Orbo. To get technical details about Orbo, you would have to pay an annual membership fee of €419.00. Whether people’s experience in the SKDB Lite will cause people to transfer up to the Full SKDB remains to be seen.
Steorn CEO Sean McCarthy has been spending some time in the Lite forum welcoming members and answering some questions. Clearly, Steorn are making another effort to garner interest in their technology. I think it will be worth keeping an eye on what’s going on in the Lite forum, and over time it could be a place to get more news about the ongoing Steorn story.
