Here's an interview with Steorn, done by the "Steornwatch" website guy

A few highlights:

- They already tried to do it quietly.  Several scientists in Europe, UK,
  and Ireland have already fully analyzed the invention.  But they all
  refused to go on record withtheir results or their names.

- They've used it to directly lift weights.  But they haven't hooked up
  the device to a generator because "it doesn't mean anything."

- They're *certain* that the route they've taken is the only way that the
  technology could get out; that professional physicsts *have* to test
  it and track down the energy source, or at least validate that it works.
  (Hmm.  They don't think that direct empirical evidence does anything?
  That they could make a bunch of working models and give them away?  Or
  start selling kits and DVDs, like the "Levitron" toy?"  But then, in
  the UK if you make your discovery public before the patent is issued,
  the patent is ruined.  In the USA you have a 1-year grace period.)

- They think that when it's validated, lots of other companies will
  jump in with much better patents:  that it's not the discoverer who
  makes the big bucks, it's the "second guy."   So they just want to
  make some bucks from their own patents and step aside.

- They think the easiest application will be phones and laptops (!!!) and
  they intend to patent and sell licences for those apps., and not charge
  fees for other applications (like generators in villiages for 3rd-world
  countries.)   It's because major power plants take 6 years from the dr

- Someone published their home addresses online.  Someone (blogger?) was
  hanging around outside and scared Sean's family, and when approached the
  person ran off.
