Isn't that gravity?
Don't think that's a power source though, be nice if it was!

Lets think of it this way....
What is the energy that makes the universe work perpetually?
What is the energy that drives the motion of the planets, stars and galaxies?
What is the energy that created life on earth?
Obviously, the Steorn`s proclaimed new technology doesn't seem to follow the physics and science we have known till now. But how stupid it is for us to even think that the science we already knew is all what we can understand and live with forever. This new technology seems to be having the potential to add new chapters to science. Or perhaps even explain the principle of how the universe works..

free energy is to uptopic, so impossible. it would change the balans of power in the world in a positive way.
right now sientist know one way for a long time of unlimited power, but its to dangerus and advanced for mankind.
so right now i think we are stuck with what we have. i just hope oil runs out much faster then expected so they finally switch over to green engergy

You know, the big problem is that when we run out of oil, we will go back to coal. And that's a hell of a problem for pollution. Coal mines are already being reopenened now. So, no chance for green energy.
Bart, as you are a belgian, do you know that putting solar cells all over Belgium would only produce 15% of the energy we consume at the present time? And that making these solar cells is highly polluting.
Same thing with wind turbines. Only ~10% of what we need.
The only solution, for the time being, is unfortunately nuclear power plants. It will remain the only solution a long time after oil has all been consumed, and it is the least polluting way we now know. That's a fact, we can't do anything about it.

If it is until u hit something hard, I would not call it perpetual. In fact, I have a feeling it won't last very long at all.

I don't think many power stations run on oil. Mostly coal and nuclear power. If... I mean when we run out of oil everybody is gonna come running to South Africa to find out how Sasol makes petrol from coal.
Personaly(without any data) i think oil has about 50yrs left and coal has about 100yrs. But by then, if we still alive, the ice caps would have melted, the world flooded and we'd be living on the abandoned oil rigs

it's a joke. No news articles. No real info, not even a hint, in the technology section.
It's a spoof for sure.

If this is true, expect the leaders of the project to disappear soon...

Well as a Scientist, I'd be inclined to be very sceptical, like it says it goes against fundamental principles of physics and undermines even our basic understanding of the universe as we know it, but as previously posted, if we never try to discover the impossible, then we can never advance...
I hope it turns out true, for the sake of not only the planet, but our evolution as a spieces..
Cheers

Looks like the production of the electricity will be over 100% efficient however you still need to store that energy to power a mobile device like a phone, foiled again!!!
I am waiting for the scientists to produce a miniature methane to electricity device, as you may or may not know the average man produces enough methane a week to power a light bulb for a month (don't believe everything you read as it's not always as it seems).
