So, not only are the batteries running down (obvious from the slowing
of the motors discussed in another thread) but the units seem to be
failing. The cameras also go off line at convenient times. What in
heck are they up to? Too much Irish whiskey?
Conclusions:
1) They're not slick, after all. (I was certainly wrong about that.) I
guess we should have guessed that from the earlier fiasco.
2) They're not all that bright, it appears. This isn't going to
convince anyone of anything good, and they should have at least had a
good idea of how long their batteries would last. Did they even test
this design before they set up the demo?
3) There's no hidden power source.
4) Their demo is obviously totally phony.
5) This is too blatant to be self-deception. Nobody capable of building
a motor of any sort could be so totally retarded as these guys would
need to be to continue believing their own nonsense with stuff like this
going on.
6) When I said things would still be murky come the end of January, I
was wrong.
Didn't someone have a theory that they were doing all this just to show
how good they are at running a PR campaign?
If Steorn really does have investors, they may get into rather deep
trouble over this -- they are surely in violation of a number of
securities laws. Madoff's team had no exit strategy, which I found
nearly inexplicable. Perhaps these folks have the same disease
(whatever it is).
A "perpmo machine" built from existing novelty toys would work better
than their demo.
