Only Steorn's people know what the plans are, but many of us think that their activities are carefully orchestrated and they're keeping to the plan, as bizarre as it seems ( but I sure wish it had been a whole helluva lot faster ).
Steorn is definitely keeping a low, sometimes misleading profile. Speculation: Imagine that fortuitously (which it was) you discover that magnetic fields really aren't conservative in spite of what you learned in college ( or due to Noether's theorm ( conservation laws don't apply in time varying systems )), and Sv ( Magnetic viscosity ) ( Time delay between an applied H field to a ferromagnetic material, and the material's domain response to it ). I look at the anomalies as emergent properties of highly non-linear time varying systems that are effectively unanalyzeable. There would be an infinite number of embodyments that could make use of that knowledge. So how does a company make a profit with such a basic piece of knowledge? If it was just summarily proved, the Chinese et al. would immediately start producing products making use of the knowledge, and it would be the end of the game for Steorn ( Once something is shown to be possible, everyone and their relatives get involved e.g. nuclear devices ). In any case, I have seen numerous configurations of their permanent magnet motor designs, but Steorn has never actually shown one working to us except for the Knapen Kinetron video, but they have been hand holding ( hand waving ) us through the theory. The NDA does not permit revealing the contents of the NDA ( It's a meta-NDA :-) ), however I feel free to discuss anything I've already seen publicly revealed. They'll let you sign one too if you want, they'll let anyone have one ( unless you have a particularly unsavory past :-) ). I'll just be patient, as hard as it is to do that. -----Original Message----- From: OrionWorks - Steven V Johnson [mailto:[email protected]]
