Yeah, see it doesn’t surprise me in the least that Steorn is tied up with spammers too.

Irish Joke – Not-so-friendly reaction to Steorn’s free energy claims, including a particularly cutting reaction to Steorn’s marketing manager saying in the promotional video that the most exciting thing about the technology would be not having to charge your cell phone or stop for gas.

[...] It occurs to me that there is a scientific equation that can be solved here. Madonna is rich and, with very little acumen about just how it might be done, wants to solve all the world’s problems. On the other side of the plus sign, the Steorn crackpots are looking for gullible air-heads with plenty of spare cash. If only someone would put them together – then they might amuse one another for years and leave the rest of us alone. [...]

Cissy Strutt: Yes, it is a curious choice of words. One is reminded of the old wisdom not to suffer fools gladly.

Joey: Nearly as long as they’ve known that concentrations of magnets and money cause mental instability.

I’d be tempted to invest if Sean hadn’t said I would “suffer a net gain of energy”. I don’t like suffering. Unless it’s pre-dated by whisky.

Hmm. The old lodestone, eh? Now that's a natural form of magnetism, isn't it? I like the way you're thinking young lad. A kind of organic magnetism, if you like. So we could promote a much better class of energy than Steorn; they might have Free Energy, but we could have Wholistic Free Range Biodynamic Organic Energy. There ought to be some increasing returns from that...

It was not I who mentioned Hills sans Lodestone, I merely used their example

hewhohears: Well, that’s just the kind of blinkered Philistine attitude I’ve come to expect from you non-creative garbage…

See, where you go completely wrong is that there are no magnets involved in your example. Magnets, my friend, magnets. If you spent a little less time walking up and down hills and more time sticking things to your fridge you’d undertand where we’re at here.

I remember from my high school physics that when I walk up a hill I expend energy but gain Kinetic energy but when I walk down the hill I lose the Kinetic Energy that I gained (thus energy is conserved) If I went to a hill with a cliff, (where I would naturally encounter a sign with Simple Graphics Man) and walked off the cliff my kinetic energy would be converted instantly into a gravitational attraction until I encountered a resting energy (at the foot of the cliff) again energy is conserved. So really the example is terribly non scientific and I doubt whether I will be investing my hard earned dollars in their venture.

RaJ: Yes, please send money. Then I will send you another equally vague illustration, that will cost me less than you pay me for it. Then we do it again. Pretty quickly I get to see more coming out of this exchange than I put into it. See how it works? Oh what's that? You want to get something out of it too? jmf: Dubya is pretty stupid, but he is never going to believe in this, even if by some miracle the science is proven (one could speculate especially if the science is proven...) "What FREE ENERGY? FREE? Are you mad?"

I’m sorry I don’t think I can bring myself to believe this until Dubya announces that he believes in it, too. (Then it’s okay.)

I’m confused. The pictured magnet with the little lightning bolts will both – I believe the scientific terms are “pull” and “push” – the (radioactive? cool!) green thing, yes? To achieve a net gain, one of these must exceed the other, yes? But no matter how much I stare at the picture, the two bolts stay the same size. Hence my confusion.

Unless… hmm. If I send money, will the bolts then differentiate?
