That probably will not happen, but then we have Steorn.... This company is an enigma to me, as their approach is so... how shall I say it? 'brain-dead' is a bit crude (Steve Jobs' favorite repartee) but not inaccurate from everything which has appeared in print. ... but anyway... although I am more skeptical of Steorn than of the Newman machine, both may well demonstrate glimpses of OU at times, with repeatability being the salient issue. Nevertheless, it would be ridiculously easy for Steorn (assuming that they even have a well-equipped laboratory, which is not a given) to take and datalog these measurements, and then to report the results without giving up a scintilla of proprietary information. The forum intro states that their device does not interact with the environment for its power. And the CEO has explicitly said that there is not a temperature change in the environment of the device, aside from heat generated by friction. They've done the experiment. You may be disappointed that they don't give out the numbers, but considering how much money they could lose if the cat is let out of the bag before they are ready, I can't say I blame them. Then the question would remain (assuming a temperature drop)... can you trust anyone who chooses this kind of strategy to introduce an earth-shaking transformative technology - which supposedly is already patented, and which is instantly marketable by any number of large and cash-loaded corporate partners, if it did not come with heavy 'baggage'? ...unless, of course Steorn suspects that they a sooo-close to success, yet that the technology is not quite(?)= repeatable? reliable? robust? or whatever... and are praying to St. Patrick for some kind of Irish-luck miracle of insight, to be derived from the assorted experts who have been enticed by the hype, and who are, in effect, giving them free consulting services which they could never otherwise afford. That gambit is the only scenario which makes any sense to me. Jones --------------------------------- The fish are biting. Get more visitors on your site using Yahoo! Search Marketing.
