Also they are not asking for any investment this side of verification by a Jury of 12 so they would need to somehow fool or rig the jury unless they want to be asking for investment after the jury of 12 have decleared it doesn't work.
Given these facts while I think the 'scientific verification' route is foolish I don't think scam really adds up.

But steorn has all the earmarks of a free-energy scam. Suppose the whole
thing is dishonest. In that case their mindset makes perfect sense.
Suppose they have nothing, but they want the investment dollars to flood
in. They certainly can't demonstrate their device openly (such as by
sending out replicas for independant testing. Or by just SELLING their
devices.) If it's a scam, then they're going about it in the same way
which has worked time and again. They must never take a simple, honest,
up-front approach. They must always keep us guessing. (They cannot do
otherwise!) We can wait forever yet never see any evidence that's simple,
solid, and trustworthy.
How many successful Dennis Lees does it take before lots other people
follow in Lees footsteps? And reap his same rewards?
And it's SO EASY to show that your'e not a scammer. Just build a bunch of
FE devices. Then sell them.
But maybe Jed is right, and these people are just incompetent. I vote for
fraud, since incompetence usually has different earmarks. Here's the
scam-detector list I put up on my site:
