It says its invention smashes one of the basic laws of physics by producing free energy. The company, called Steorn, has placed an advertisement in the Economist seeking 12 top scientists to examine its invention, based on magnetic fields, and publish their results. It says the energy eliminates the need to recharge mobile phones or refuel cars.
Sean McCarthy, Steorn's chief executive officer, said the company had issued the challenge for 12 physicists to rigorously test the technology so it could be developed.
'What we have developed is a way to construct magnetic fields so that when you travel round the magnetic fields, starting and stopping at the same position, you have gained energy,' Mr McCarthy said.
'The energy isn't being converted from any other source such as the energy within the magnet. It's literally created. Once the technology operates it provides a constant stream of clean energy,' he told RTE radio.
Mr McCarthy said Steorn had not set out to develop the technology, but 'it actually fell out of another project we were working on'.
One of the basic principles of physics is that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change form.

I think they are pulling a fast one, people are focused on the product/value of the supposed energy technology and are missing the product value inherent in the proposal and subsequent reaction to it.
I propose that the product they are building is a risk analysis model of international scientific and internet feedback regarding significantly challenging claims for any product. The company is listed in the Dublin tech School as a "Technology Risk Management Firm", which would mean if they built significant analytical data from the blogoshpere, the web traffic and the forum traffic on their website that has come in response to the claim that it could be leveraged in the product risk management consulting business.
So basically the "SCAM" is the product, they never have to produce a product or pay anyone, their scientific accolades dont matter because their business is based on marketing statistics and probabilities.
I believe I have to agree with that speculation. To claim 'free energy' is to also claim perpetual motion, matter from nothing, etc.
Its true i tells ya.. true
