A lot of people are trying to build mechanical perpetual motion engines, and have failed for thousands of years. Failure doesn't always signal you're doing some

A lot of people are trying to build mechanical perpetual motion engines, and have failed for thousands of years. Failure doesn't always signal you're doing something right.
- easytiger 12y agoThese guys, whom i believe to be an investment scam, are the most recent: http://www.steorn.com/ http://www.steorn.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steorn http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steorn They've erased some of the history from their website and interest hasn't been high enough for full exposure of their nonsense. Yet a decade of failure hasn't shut them down. I feel sorry for the people who poured €11 million into them. Never seeing that back.
- swatkat 12y agoI had followed Steorn Orbo pretty closely back then, and eagerly awaited for their demo at Kinetica Museum, UK. As expected, they chickened out at the last moment :) This website has chronicled the whole Steorn Orbo saga: http://dispatchesfromthefuture.com/ http://dispatchesfromthefuture.com/
- easytiger 12y agoAhh somehow i missed that blog over the years. Its the kind of things Jon Ronson should do a piece on. I found his public facebook feed recently. Whole thing is madness. People/friends/family seem to think he really is some kind of big shot. He posts pictures of T-shirts with CEO written on them etc. To me it is and always has been an investment scam.
