There is also Steorn, with rather astonishing claims about their
Orbo technology:
"Orbo produces free, clean and constant energy - that is our
claim. By free we mean that the energy produced is done so
without recourse to external source. By clean we mean that during
operation the technology produces no emissions. By constant we
mean that with the exception of mechanical failure the technology
will continue to operate indefinitely.
The sum of these claims for our Orbo technology is a violation of
the principle of conservation of energy, perhaps the most
fundamental of scientific principles. The principle of the
conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created
or destroyed, it can only change form.
Because of the revolutionary nature of our claim, not only to the
world of science but to the world in general, Steorn issued a
challenge to the scientific community in August 2006 to test our
technology and report their findings. The process of validation
that has resulted from this challenge is currently underway, with
results expected by the end of 2007."

for a very disappointing non-event. CEO Sean McCarthy apologised
profusely and promised that they'll be back.

demonstration, or some industrial strength schadenfreude.
