Irish Company claims Free-Energy.

"Ya cannae change the laws of Physics Captain!". Well allegedly you can, if you believe claims from Irish Company Steorn that they've invented a clean free energy source involving magentic fields (well at least it's not di-lithium crystals). They've taken out an advert in the Economist challenging the world's academics to test their technology. Seems they invited academics in 2005 to validate their technology, but seeing as they are violating the Law of Conservation of Energy, many academics see this as essentially bad physics voodoo and refused to have anything to do with it (Cold Fusion anyone?). Steorn claims some did, validated the technology, but refused to go on record.

Not much more information on their website. Only registered academics/researchers can get access to the whitepaper - which seems a bit fishy. Not that I would probably have understood it anyway, but still.
