Some time ago, I became engrosed in the Steorn fiasco (not financially). I joined the "official" forum and merely watched aghast as a detached observer as millions were raised for R&D. Free power for all was the claim.
And I watched as all the "believers" made excuse after excuse for the no-show. And I watched as people saw the whole thing evaporate taking their savings with it.
At one point, Steorn took out a full page add in the Times for a public demo. When the demo wheeled around, the device utterly failed to work. Immediately, the fanatics brewed up all manner of excuses for why it didn't work including, and I kid not, the spotlights used at the London Museum where the demo was held were the wrong type.
The sad part? Well, besides investors getting royally stuffed, many of them small investors who really shouldn't have taken such a hit, is that I see the BLP supporters trotting out exactly the same stupid arguments all over again. The arguments are so similar that it is somewhat disturbing that those get recycled.
