This article concerns electrical power generation (is 100%) www.rte.ie/business/2006/0818/steorn.html Its what a small Irish company has discovered and they posted a full page article in the Press to tell scientists to disprove this new principle of energy Here is the companies website page with the same info www.steorn.net/en/technology.aspx?p=5 Apparently they have been testing this for 3 years (they were working on another project) when they came across this "side effect"
There are 2 interviews with RTE (Irish TV network) with the Company chief on this Link and I "hope" this turns out well and really perplexes the scientists (and messes up their "ideas") Shall keep a close eye on this
Ps There is a Forum on that site (Some idiots posting ) Is plenty of activity

"Interesting" is one way of putting it. Other than having enough money to buy an ad, what distinguishes these guys from all the others making the same claim?
we'll have to see what transpires..if they have made a breakthrough then they will go into the history books if not they'll be going through the rest of their lives rather red faced Look at the First integrated circuit and what its evolved into thats only over 40 years ago,60 if you go back to the transistor (and I recall they called those in a web article somehere an impossiblity) .They( the sceptics) thought it was a fluke or magic at first! The developers themselves even thought that too
quote:
In fact the device worked as if there was no oxide layer at all. And as Brattain poked the gold contact in again and again, he realized that's because there wasn't an oxide layer. He had washed it off by accident. Brattain was furious with himself, but decided to fiddle with the point contact anyway. To his surprise, he actually got some voltage amplification -- and more importantly he could get it at all frequencies! The gold contact was putting holes into the germanium and these holes canceled out the effect of the electrons at the surface, the same way the water had. But this was much better than the version that used water, because now, the device was increasing the current at all frequencies.
I'm not sure what the transistor story is supposed to demonstrate. Science is all about discovering the unexpected, but that doesn't answer my question:
Other than having enough money to buy an ad, what distinguishes these guys from all the others making the same claim?
People have been making this claim for ages. You've never posted one before. What's so much more convincing about this one?
