That's a risk worth taking

Magnetic Fields as Energy Technology
A 'dark horse' in the search for carbon-neutral power, some believe it's just a hoax
by Gregory Daigle / OhmyNews - Science & Technology
The recently signed "Next Generation Energy Act of 2007 is a Minnesota state initiative stepping-up the state's commitment to renewables in the form of bioenergy, hydrogen, hybrids, solar energy and other alternative technologies currently under development. One such technology alternative under development is a controversial "dark horse" candidate yet to be verified, but if proven true could open the way to accelerating our state's standing in renewable electrical power production.
You may have heard about "Steorn Ltd.", the small Irish technology management firm behind Orbo,
a magnetic "free-energy" technology. Steorn claims that it has the
potential to reduce dependence upon fossil fuels by making possible
carbon-neutral power generated from the interaction of magnetic fields.
If true it could change how we power our mobile electronics,
vehicles... even our homes.
Steorn won't be developing products themselves but will be licensing
their technology to all interested parties. Generators would be
produced by third parties under a modified "general public license". Steorn is also preparing an online instructional Knowledge Base to assist early adopters in understanding their technology.
This is my fourth story on Steorn since last August. Steorn first drew my attention after they placed an ad in The Economist
challenging the scientific and engineering communities to join a "jury"
to prove their technology false. Steorn has continued to work with
their jury and promises a demonstration next month in London.
A demonstration is a necessary-but-not-sufficient step that may
generate more questions than answers. Claims of free-energy and
"over-unity" motors are quite common on the Internet, though no such
technology has ever been independently confirmed.
The blogosphere is replete with discussions about Steorn's claims.
Opinions range from it being a hoax or an "alternative reality game",
to those who compare it to the "social mechanics and goals of utopias".
If the science behind Orbo is verified and its implementation found
economically viable for the production of electricity, it could lead to
electric vehicles that never need recharging from the existing power
grid and homes that generate much of their energy needs.
If Orbo-based generators are successfully put into production how could
Minnesota and its communities take advantage of this technology?
State Energy Goals
The Next Generation Energy Act propels Minnesota as one of two top
states (with California) in the U.S. leading the way towards reducing
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It includes overhauling the state's
Community-Based Energy Development statutes and creating incentives for
communities that invest in renewable power. It gives greater weight to
local energy cooperatives and will help the state reach its Renewable
Energy Objective (REO) goal of providing 25% of all electricity through
renewables by 2025. Orbo could play a part in achieving those goals.
Orbo's renewable technology reportedly scales from use in mobile
consumer electronics up to generation of power for industrial
applications. In its "mid range" of capabilities it has the potential
to replace automotive powerplants and provide electrical power
generation in the home. Though renewable energy is available for urban
residents, home generation would eliminate long distance transmission
issues encountered when powering urban homes with rurally produced wind
farm energy.
The energy output from Orbo technology is reportedly constant, unlike
the intermittent outputs typical of solar or wind generation. This
means less need for storing that energy and more opportunity to sell
excess power back to existing utilities. Orbo generators could even be
employed to create local neighborhood electricity cooperatives. With
generators of sufficient capacity local cooperatives could form the
basis for "hyperlocal" neighborhood power grids.

(User Info | Send a Message) http://web.ukonline.co.uk/mripley | What I like about Steorn is their approach and the effect it must have on other developers in this field. They don't behave like scammers, far from it, they behave like people who genuinely believe they have something and are being very cautious about releasing it. So cautious and careful that if they are scammers then there is no way in hell that they can claim "mysterious forces closed us down" and without scamming a penny from the public!
So genuine in their approach that other developers in the field have to take note. Whoever is first to market with such a device will capture that market. So the likes of Mark Goldes and MPI have about 1 month to publicly demo a working device as Steorn intend to do in London next month. The approach of Steorn more than likely guarantees publicity even from an ultra skeptical press. The internet chatter on this topic is that high it can't be ignored. |

(User Info | Send a Message) http://www.magneticpowerinc.com | MPI welcomes the Steorn demonstration. We believe it will help bring credibility to the entire field of magnetic energy conversion.
However, being first to market, as the history of Silicon Valley demonstrattes, often only confirms the cliche that pioneers get hit by arrows. It is often the second company that captures major market share.
Our work, unlike Steorn, includes both solid-state and rotary generators. We had offered to present at the O'Reilly Energy Conference in August, but not surprisingly, there was no desire to have technology that has not yet been generally accepted by the scientific community featured at that event. However, we are considering our own public demonstration, perhaps later this summer.
With solid-state devices that produce AC directly under development, we are happy to welcome competitors. The world needs every practical alternative, should it prove correct that human survival requires a dramatic reduction in the use of fossil fuels within 8-10 years.

(User Info | Send a Message) | Contrary to what many here say, from my own studies of Magnetic Power, Inc., Mark Goldes and associates seem to be well-intentioned, and, genuine. Steorn and MPI both make use of the ASSYMETRICAL MAGNETIC FIELD, as does the Motionless Electromagnetic Generator of Thomas Bearden and associates, and ultimately the energy from the magnetic gradient comes from the quantum ether/vacuum plenum as its source, the source of electric charge, continually gushing forth energy into every dipole in the universe.
I thank you, Mark Goldes, for continuing in spite of attacks and put-downs from people. At the same time, I am eager to see a demonstrated model, and, I want to see more about the polymer based ultraconductors. Instead of wasting billions of dollars on war and other things, our civilization should fully fund you guys and open the floodgates for overunity technology!

(User Info | Send a Message) | Don't suck up to Mark Goldes - he's an Illuminati frontman. Every corporation in the world today is run by the Illuminati and their ilk, and Magnetic Power Inc is NO EXCEPTION. The only reason why this highly suppressed 100 year old technology is starting to debut now, is because these Illuminati scumbags have found a way to charge for it -- by using the totalitarian tiptoe method. The New World Order can't exist without 'free energy' in the equation, and the Illuminati know this better than anyone...which is why we are seeing a deluge of these technologies now.
Mark Goldes is, and will forever be, a fraud and a traitor to this world. Do not trust him.

(User Info | Send a Message) | What needs to be done is for these technologies to be open sourced and made freely available to the masses - this is the only way to beat the Illuminati at their own game. Just to use an example, Tesla tried playing the Illuminati game of filing patents and going through the proper channels -- and this how they ultimately broke him. The only way to defeat the Illuminati is to not play their game -- give the technology to the world for FREE and the Illuminati house of cards will be come tumbling down. This is why Tesla's reputation was destroyed, and why the technology is so suppressed.
If people would stop playing the game, and actually lived their own lives by their own rules, this manipulation would be over.

(User Info | Send a Message) http://www.suppressedscience.net | | You keep making these kinds of statements about Mr. Goldes but just what is your evidence except that he's not giving away his research freely to the world?
I find it likely that the same powers that have been suppressing free energy for the past 100 years - corporations that buy technologies and then shelve them, governments that classify them as national security secrets - would continue to do so until and unless the Earth is in such dire condition that human civilization is threatened by imminent collapse. So the conventional development path - filing patents, seeking investment, etc. - is likely to fail in bringing free energy to the world. Open-sourcing it seems the most likely path to success.
Nevertheless, this doesn't prove that Mr. Goldes is a fraud and a front-man for special interests that intend to discredit free energy. It doesn't prove that he isn't well-intentioned.
Seriously Kadamose, give him the benefit of the doubt. How do we know that you're not an "Illuminati frontman" who's posting here to discredit a promising free energy development company? |
