Steon Orbo's "Technology"

Take a look at an add by Steon's Orbo involving an impending breakthrough technology:



You can find a better explanation here

Now, I'm not one to judge too quickly. And honestly, I'm a quite gullible person. Yet this add has fraud written all over it... literally. Aside from debuting the concept with its barrage of "haters" I find a lack of true conceptual reasoning to be the heart of this ideas future failure. Do head of the company claims to have found a loophole in magnetism that makes this possible. Don't get me wrong, the idea of producing energy from nothing sounds pretty awesome, yet it defies the law of conservation of energy. Energy cannot be either created, nor destroyed, only transitioned into different states. This article claims to be producing something from nothing, which well, sound pretty friggin' outlandish.

Regardless, if we were to accept this idea as plausible or not, its resounding effects (if even possible make me worry even more.) As the ceo referenced on their website, the idea of creating this energy is offset by a constant dissipation of thermal energy.

Now if we were to produce energy from nothing, and likewise produce heat from nothing. Would this not overall add to the heat of the system - for these purposes let us claim our planet to be the solitary system. Now if heat were to increase would that not impart similar effects to that of global warming. Granted global warming is about trapped energy due to light radiation not exiting the atmosphere, but the overall effect is quite similar. Granted the sun is on a much greater scale, and well, this "technology" seems quite...questionable.

Ultimately, my point is this. Sure producing something from nothing sounds like an awesome concept - think about it, never having to charge your phone again! But as we know it, our very environment depends on this balance in energy (granted this balance as we know it is being pushed and pulled at this very moment from global warming... but that is a topic I will leave to discuss at another time).
