Steorn's actions make business sense

[Foolmewunz]

I REALLY hope I don't catch too much flack for this, but I have done some research and made some diagrams and collected information which pretty much explains how "Orbo" was supposed to work and how it could have fooled those at Steorn and such.

I can't really post it all here easily, so I'm offering the following link: http://depletedcranium.com/?p=54


I'm not trying to spam anything. It seems like it should be relevant and worth reading.

No flack from here. Excellent stuff. Nice recap if their extrapolations are accurate.

Others: Recommended reading. Much based on speculation, but pretty decent speculation and from people who got as close to the source as possible (other than the anonymous jury, I guess).

Yes, I realize that there is some speculation, but bare in mind that the device was out in the open and relatively simple in design - it's not like you can speculate that much about what the design looks like. It's obviously a wheel and obviously surrounded by some sort of slots and mounted on a plate.

The only logical extrapolation (based on what they have said about it being magnetic and other things) is pretty much that those slats held magnets (where else could you put magnets?)

And if that is the case, it boils down to being Dejavu all over again, as it would be a classis perminant magnet motor

The thing about the slots is confusing, though. I agree that with everything else we've learned they're positions for the magnets. But, was Sean being disingenuous and/or trying to steer people away from what their real design was? He told the post-mortem crowd at Kinetica that those slots were for air. (Or something to that effect. I didn't listen to the interview, but read a second hand transcript.)

As to the extrapolations... I'm not criticizing them. By that I meant to say (and should've said) that I'm not technically qualified to judge whether or not they make sense. I follow the logic, but science and particularly physics tend to turn around and bite me in the butt when I assume too much.

ETA: As to the dejavu.... reminds me of my friend Marc Decker. He designed a brilliant device at the age of 9, living with his mom in Ecuador. She looked at the sketch and said, "Oh, you drew a washing machine." He'd never seen one. I think Sean and the boys stumbled upon something, didn't research it, and found out later that it'd been done to death, already.

If you watch the video of Sean's excuses, and go to the forum to read his excuses it all becomes very very clear that this is hoax.

Being deluded that something should work is very different than the obfuscation being spouted by this guy.

Kiss that investment bye bye investors!!

Do you have a link or a quote? It just seems to me like if it's a hoax "Where is the punchline???"

I mean, what is going on with this hoax? Isn't there supposed to be a gotcha or something? What a crappy hoax.
