All they did was to make an inefficient pulse motor which converted most of the power fed to it to heat. It was powered with a large, 10 Amp hour battery -- the largest D cell it is possible to buy and that was recharged regularly by the guy who observers nicknamed derisively "Tachoman". They called him that because he was usually seen checking for the deceleration of the supposed overunity devices using a tachometer. Sean McCarthy hilariously tried and failed to convince anyone that this awkward contraption was "overunity". Everything they have shown consisted of errors, inappropriate instrumentation choices, mis-measurements, bad calculations, incomplete data and data reduction, inappropriate conclusions and downright deception. Or perhaps you didn't see the video (since removed and censored by Steorn) of the questions and answers after their so-called demo at the Waterways Museum? Or the aftersession they held at the upstairs rooms at the Kinetica Museum? Or maybe you missed the replication (only better running and faster and it charges its own battery) of Steorn's device by the critic who calls himself Alsetalokin and calls his device the Orbette? Sorry, I didn't mean to get into a discussion of Steorn but hey, there was the opportunity. I know of no properly demonstrated violation of Lenz law. Such a violation would also violate COE and Newton 3. That's rather unlikely, at least on any macro scale for any appreciable time period -- or the universe would not be the way we see it.
