Irish company challenges scientists to test 'free

energy' technology

DUBLIN (AFP) - 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.
