Hi all,
This from Atlantis Rising Mag:

Free Energy is in the news again, but this time with a twist. Steorn, a Dublin, Ireland based hi-tech company has run an ad in Britain’s Economist magazine challenging the world’s top scientists to come and disprove its new free-energy technology. The ad seeks 12 top physicists to serve as a kind of jury to investigate their claim, which essentially disputes one of the stated basic laws of physics— that you can’t get more energy out of a system than you put in—and report to the world. The ad has made a big splash. “We expected a good response,” says Sean McCarthy, Steorn’s chief executive officer, “because of its potential and its implications for the scientific world. Our technology goes far beyond scientific curiosity and addresses many urgent global needs.” McCarthy says he started out as a skeptic himself, but that he has become convinced this is the real deal. He told Reuters the discovery came as researchers tried magnets to devise more efficient wind generators. Now more than three years have been spent developing it. Somehow, says McCarthy, the interaction of magnetic fields produces a constant stream of free energy more than five times the amount of energy in a mobile phone battery of the same size, but it does not require recharging. The technology is reported to be applicable to virtually all devices requiring energy, from cellular phones to cars. Steorn intends, reports Technology News Daily, to allow its discovery to be used for certain purposes, including water and rural electrification projects in third world countries, royalty-free.
Not surprisingly, the announcement was greeted with derision. Martin Sevior, associate professor at Melborne University, told The Age, an Australian newspaper, “It flies in the face of 2000-yearsplus of physics. It’s an incredibly big claim.” Sevior said he was willing to investigate the technology but he “would want to see what is behind the curtains.” The news comes as no surprise, though, to many alternative energy investigators who have long believed it is possible to tap into the limitless sea of energy from which all existence emerges. Many of their efforts have been reported in Atlantis Rising by Jeane Manning, the late Dr. Eugene Mallove and others. It remains to be seen if this development represents the long-sought breakthrough, but there are hopeful signs. Within seven days of the publication of Steorn’s ad in the Economist, 3313 scientists in Europe, America and Australia had asked to be included in the jury and another 39,722 had registered to be sent the results. The headline in the Steorn ad in the Economist and the featured text on the company’s web site (Steorn.net) is a quote from George Bernard Shaw, “All great truths begin as blasphemies.”
...and a slightly diferent slant on the same story:

Irish company challenges scientists to test 'free energy' technology
An Irish company has thrown down the gauntlet to the worldwide scientific community to test a technology it has developed that it claims produces free energy.
The company, Steorn, says its discovery is based on the interaction of magnetic fields and allows the production of clean, free and constant energy -- a concept that challenges one of the basic rules of physics.
It claims the technology can be used to supply energy for virtually all devices, from mobile phones to cars.
Steorn issued its challenge through an advertisement in the Economist magazine this week quoting Ireland's Nobel prize-winning author George Bernard Shaw who said that "all great truths begin as blasphemies".
Sean McCarthy, Steorn's chief executive officer, said they had issued the challenge for 12 physicists to rigorously test the technology so it can be developed.
"What we have developed is a way to construct magnetic fields so that when you travel round the magnetic fields, starting and stopping at the same position, you have gained energy," McCarthy said.
"The energy isn't being converted from any other source such as the energy within the magnet. It's literally created. Once the technology operates it provides a constant stream of clean energy," he told Ireland's RTE radio.
McCarthy said Steorn had not set out to develop the technology, but "it actually fell out of another project we were working on".
One of the basic principles of physics is that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change form.
McCarthy said a big obstacle to overcome was the disbelief that what they had developed was even possible.
"For the first six months that we looked at it we literally didn't believe it ourselves. Over the last three years it had been rigorously tested in our own laboratories, in independent laboratories and so on," he said.
"But we have been unable to get significant scientific interest in it. We have had scientists come in, test it and, off the record, they are quite happy to admit that it works.
"But for us to be able to commercialise this and put this into peoples' lives we need credible, academic validation in the public domain and hence the challenge," McCarthy said
