Today I received the following from Said Salim Hamdan Al-Abri, the head of the IEEE engineering society at Sultan Qaboos University, who graciously responded to my question of whether he was present at Sean’s talk and if an Orbo device was demonstrated: Yes Sir I was there and he talked about some kind of motors […]

Last Wednesday, February 18th, Steorn’s Sean McCarthy was scheduled to give a talk at Qatar University. Thus far, no word has been heard about how this talk went, whether an Orbo was demonstrated, or even if the talk took place at all. Another event is scheduled for this Wednesday, February 25th — this time at […]

After tomorrow’s planned talk in Qatar, Steorn will continue the Middle East leg of its Orbo world tour next week, with a stop at Oman‘s Sultan Qaboos University next Wednesday, February 25th, according to an article in the paper Zawya. What’s most intriguing is the specific wording of the article; according to Zawya, “[Steorn] will […]

With last week’s introduction of Steorn’s revamped site, we learned some more specifics about the series of talks that Steorn plans to hold, around the globe, over the course of this year. The first stop is the small Arab nation of Qatar. The talk, to be held February 18th, has been reported by at least […]

Today Steorn unveiled their updated web site, and there’s a lot that’s new. The video on the home page sums up the biggest news: Steorn is about to release Orbo, its claimed ‘free energy’ technology, to developers. They are calling for 300 qualified engineers to sign up for free, non-commercial development licenses. These engineers will […]

The front page of Steorn’s web site has changed in the past 24 hours — all the previous content is gone, replaced with a blue curtain and the date “4 February 2009”. According to Sean McCarthy’s December talk at the Dublin Institute of Technology, February is when Steorn will begin the process of going public […]

On December 17th, Steorn CEO Sean McCarthy did give a lecture and take questions at the Dublin Institute of Technology, as promised. Audio recordings of the talk can be found here (downloadable) and here (streaming). First off, once again no Orbo was demonstrated. Most of the talk consisted of information that we’ve heard before: Steorn’s […]

Steorn has added a new page to their web site, advertising a series of talks they’ll be giving, beginning this month: Our ‘talk’ initiative is designed to give people within the technology development community an opportunity to understand the Orbo proposition and ask questions in a direct, face-to-face format. The programme of talks starts in […]

In an interview that appeared in Ireland’s Sunday Tribune newspaper August 10th, Steorn CEO Sean McCarthy asserts that development of their Orbo technology, as well as its testing by a jury of 22 scientists, is still on track — and that Steorn expects to launch Orbo and demonstrate it publicly before next summer. According to […]

July 4th, 2007: The day that a small Irish company dumbfounded the scientific community and changed the world by paving the way to complete independence from fossil fuels. That’s the way Steorn would have liked to have seen history written, anyhow. Instead, the day produced just another in a long line of failed demonstrations of […]
