A team of researchers at Steorn in Dublin have constructed what appears to be a machine that produces more power than it takes to drive. It’s the stuff of physicists craziest, conservation-energy-defyingest dreams. If you’re even halfway geeky, this is going to excite you.
You can watch the video of the thing in action – it’s being demo’d right now, and you can view a live stream of it running if you’re quick enough. The video is going to do a better job of explaining the science than I could, even though it’s not exactly a high-tech set-up they’re running. If that little motor is still spinning in a weeks time, we have ample reason to be excited.
The apparent explanation is a magnetic anomaly – quite mysterious, and it would be great to see some actual stats behind what’s going on inside that machine, but we’re just going to have to wait.
Pretty neat though.
