For those who don’t remember or didn’t hear, in 2006 an Irish company made a big splash by taking out an expensive ad in the Economist announcing they’d made a perpetual motion machine called Orbo. They then appointed a jury of scientists and engineers to review it.
The jury’s announcement itself is here and the confirmation on Steorn’s own website from which we can take it that the announcement is real is here.
Why surprising? I am amazed that such a bunch of obvious scam artistes didn’t rig their jury more effectively.
