Just take 2 cardboard boxes, some tinfoil, a sheet of plastic and some sunlight...
Voila... An oven for about €5

Inventor turns cardboard boxes into eco-friendly oven

The Steorn Challenge

The process of testing Steorn's technology shall consist of three test phases. The process shall commence with the scientific jury appointing its own chairman. Steorn shall then provide an in-depth explanation of the operation of its technology and shall present the tests and test data conducted on the technology to date.

Steorn will cover all direct costs relating to the validation process.

Pre-Phase I : Current Phase Analyse list of scientists, contact and verify interest, choose twelve and negotiate terms.

Phase I : Confirm that the Steorn technology has a coefficient of performance greater than 100%.

Phase II : Confirm that the operation of the Steorn technology does not affect the component parts of the technology.

Phase III : Carry out a full thermodynamic analysis of the technology.

[Environment] Could Steorn have broken the law...

It appears that Steorn ( an Irish based company ) may have broken the first law of physics, the 'Principle of the Conservation of Energy' - basically 'energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change form'.

In the attempt to develop a more efficient micro generator, They may have created a generator that is over 100% efficient in effect "Free Energy".

"We have developed a technology that can replace traditional energy sources" :
Steorn

Steorn has challenged the scientific community to either validate or refute it's findings.
