Gee, that's convincing. A practically opaque box that could be hiding almost any power source you care to name, with a tiny window showing a wheel. Sorry, lads, are we supposed to be impressed? Um, make it TRANSPARENT? Have several webcams covering it from multiple angles? Suspend it from the roof so we can see it's not connected to anything?! These are just some ideas. I can't believe this, it's an insult to our intelligence.
Update: OK, I see there are multiple cam links from the Steorn website home page, and the box is actually mostly transparent. I take back half of what I said about Steorn. :-)
I've already mentioned this, but a web feed will not convince everyone, so perhaps it's best if you sit it out and forget about it until they go on sale.
What's the difference between this and a battery powered motor?
What has the demo actually shown other than something I could do with a motor or a battery? It's not like it doesn't even look like a motor and a battery.
I know they *claiming* it's not that simple but a claim is a claim.
Where's the proof FE Truth?...or is that "coming soon".
So, perhaps someone could estimate the time it would take to run out of energy? Preferably a D-sized-battery-expert ofcourse. (my expertise extends only to R-to-Y-sized batteries, so I haven't a clue...)
Btw, my humble guess is that unless someone would really want the joy of having 'epic fail' tattooed on his forehead because he went public with a fake device with some battery hidden in the only non-transparent part of the machine, he would either have made sure his device works, or he would have been paid such an amount of money that he would never have to worry about his forehead again.

It's powered by a D sized battery! Doesn't that tip you off that Steorn are frauds???
You really haven't got a clue have you? You have not understood the premise at all.
It's not only powering the motor, but it's recharging the battery and yet still most of the input energy is being dissipated as heat also.
This thing is way overunity.
I still don't get it.

So why have the battery? Replace it with a bulb and see what happens then.
