forum [2]”

In keeping with the woo-woo technology [3], I present you with Steorn [4], a
company premoting free energy, only they seem to be having difficulties … 

Hmmmmm …. 

Update on Thursday, July 5^th, 2007

> We are experiencing some technical difficulties with the demo unit in
> London. Our initial assessment indicates that this is probably due to the
> intense heat from the camera lighting. We have commenced a technical
> assessment and will provide an update later today. As a consequence,
> Kinetica will not be open to the public today (5th July). We apologise for
> this delay and appreciate your patience.

Giggle.


Update on Friday, July 6^th, 2007

> Further to Steorn's announcement yesterday (5th July) regarding the
> technical difficulties experienced during the installation of its “Orbo”
> technology at the Kinentica Museum in London, Steorn has decided to
> postpone the demonstration until further notice.
> 
> Sean McCarthy CEO (Chief Executive Officer) stated that “technical problems
> arose during the installation of the demonstration unit in the display case
> on Wednesday evening. These problems were primarily due to excessive heat
> from the lighting in the main display area. Attempts to replace those parts
> affected by the heat led to further failures and as a result we have to
> postpone the public demonstration until a future date.”
> 
> He continued that “we apologise for the inconvenience caused to all the
> people who had made arrangements to visit the demonstration or were
> planning on viewing the demonstration online.”
> 
> Over the next few weeks the company will explore alternative dates for the
