I looked at their site and saw nothing but an attempt to collect email addresses.
TRUST ME ON THIS ONE, you don't have to worry about the world vs Steorn. They are flat out liars. The very first statement on their site makes all conventional science and engineering a pile of doo-doo. How likely IS THAT?

First let me suggest that if the Steorn folks go for a patent on their technology, it will not be produced and distributed to you "for free." You will not be able to buy it for "free." It cannot be manufactured and distributed "for free."
Second: Their drawings suggest that magnets will somehow be moved back and forth under a shield under the influence of an electrical force. Useful power is proposedly obtained through this movement. Movement, as you might already be aware, is always accompanied by friction loss, however great or small. Friction loss is a penalty which deducts from efficiency and must be replaced somehow. That replacement is usually managed by the addition of energy in some form; say burning gasoline, propane, tapping into commercial power mains, etc. Possibly the rotating portion of the free energy device is suspended in a vacuum to reduce the inevitable friction factor. Oh yes, a vacuum you might say. So, each of us will need to purchase and maintain a vacuum pump contraption which must be powered by leg power or muscle power, a nuclear reactor, or the commercial power mains.
My advice is to give it up for another attempt at a huge farce.

There is no free lunch and no free energy. But if it were true, it would change the world so completely that nobody could even begin to describe what it would really be like.

As cool as it would be, its simply not possible. The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy is always increasing. It has taken plants millions of years to become 2% efficient. Is it logical that humans can create something with 100% efficiency when the best scientist of all (nature) can't even do it?
No. This company is trying to make money off of peoples' hope.

The world will collaps...and maybe we should revise our thermodynamics law *LoL*
Personally, I think only God that can create energy..
