Jury reports that Steon's Orbo does not produce free energy

drop another ziploc of frogs in the hail cannon.

What amazes me is that the verdict was "delusional" rather than "fraud". How sad is that?

In other news, water is wet and fire is hot.

They could be mistaken and NOT delusional.

Speaking of perpetual motion, I have seen cell phones that now collect all freqs of radio waves and converts them into energy charging your batt.
Sounds good to me, now we just need to build one to power houses and other large equip.

They could have different departments that collaborate. Fraud Division, the Mistaken unit which has under it's jurisdiction the Department of Delusion. As suggested, everyone in Delusion is part of the Mistaken, but some in Mistaken are not under Delusion.

Steorn: 0 - first law of thermodynamics: 1

It looks like Homer Simpson's household rule still stands.

Given the amount of venture capital that some quasi-credible cold fusion "pioneers" seem to generate, it seems like a potentially viable business model to me. The Cold Fusion Con is just the physicist/scientist/engineer's version of cashing in on their name. Just like what happens when celebrities give up and start endorsing timeshares, instructional tapes, or exercise products.

Aah, if only one could capture the energy generated by people's outpouring of negativity. How the masses love others to fail...

Where does the energy content of the self-righteous factor in? :P

"The law that entropy always increases holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of Nature. If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equations — then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation — well, these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation." — Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington

What gets me is the comments on the article basically saying "Your jury made these conclusions based on outdated data. Your results are wrong!" As though something has changed to make this stuff actually work.

There is more to this story. It took 2 years for them to reach a conclusion. It only takes 2 seconds to say "Laws of Thermodynamics". While from a science and engineering perspective, free energy is impossible; from an economic perspective, free energy machines, in the form of waterwheels, have existed for thousands of years. If it took 2 whole years for a group of smart people to figure this thing out, than maybe it is not so cut and dry as thermodynamics
