Cosmic Energy

On Friday 8th June I picked up a pair of Americans, one of whom wanted to book me for an airport run at 6.30 on Saturday morning. Never one to turn down a nice airport run, I agreed. Next morning she's coming out of her hotel laden with suitcases, and gets into the car. She's a slightly spaced-out Californian blonde, middle-aged, very attractive, and very intelligent, and I ask her if she was in Dublin for long.
-I was here for...ah.... quite a while...on a Science Project.
She talks like her mind is elsewhere, which it turns out it probably is.
-Oh yeah, what was the project?
-Well, an Irish guy has invented... something, and if it....works, it'll be pretty big, but it's pretty...far out so there was a whole lot of us from...ah...all over the world....meeting here to evaluate a......test for the invention to see if it 'll work.
At this point my mind is clicking and whirring as I search my archives, and ...yes, bingo
-Let me guess. It was an energy project...
-Yes.
-And it was about free energy...
Yes.
-And if it works it'll mean that we have to rewrite the Laws of Thermodynamics...
-That's right. STEORN. How did you know about that?
She sounds amazed, but it's hard to tell because she says everything like she's amazed. I'd read stuff about Steorn, this Irish company which claims to have found an energy source from Magnetic Field resonance, in which the return is greater than unity, which basically means that it releases more energy than it uses to work, with output between 285% and 400% and it has put patents on the various components of the machine as it can't put patents on the entire machine because you can't put a patent on a device that violates established physical and scientific principles. You can read about it :

Now this is pretty wild stuff because the First Law of Thermodynamics says you can't create energy from nothing, you can only transform it from one type of energy into another, and usually, in fact always, with an energy loss, and an increase in entropy, ie disorder.
Now I'm postulating: The second Law of Thermodynamics says that the entropy of a closed system increases with time, ie as time passes energy gradually dissipates evenly across the Universe. If this machine can do what Steorn says, then that would qualify as a decrease in entropy, which defies the second law, but what I really like is that if you reverse timeflow, the second law of Thermodynamics is preserved, so perhaps here's a time machine! Now THAT's cool!
Anyway, I'm thinking all this to myself as I'm driving and we're chatting. She can't and doesn't tell me much because it's all secret stuff at this stage and very sensitive, but she's curious about how I know about Steorn, and I tell her about my interest in science through my background, and how my father was involved in cosmic ray research on the Pique du Midi in the Pyrennees in the 1950's, and how he turned his back on it all to get into applied science and technology, specifically sustainable technology, and it turns out she's into this kind of alternative stuff too, so she's fairly open-minded, and then I tell her that I didn't go into science but into music. So at that point she gives me her card, which is actually a postcard, saying that she does media also. I look at the card, and Richard Feynmann is on the front (Feynmann was a theoretical physicist with an empirical approach, and an absolute genius. Goole him if you don't know). Actually it's an ad for Feynmann lectures on DVD, produced by her company, "sound photosynthesis". It turns out she worked with Feynmann at Caltech...At this stage we're at the 'port, so we part, and I promise to check out her website and I tell her to checkout mine which will be on the email I send her, and says she will, and that's that.
The thing is, I've never met anybody with such positive energy radiating from her. Visit the website
here
to see what else she's into. It's pretty...ah...out there.

I found you blog particularly interesting because I am Steorn Forum member. You mentioned that you picked up a pair of Americans. Can you describe the other American and his relationship with Faustin Bray. http://quantumtantra.com/reunion.html

Incidentally, I took the opportunity of going back through all your blogs. Fascinating. You should add to them and write a book, Tales of a Dublin Taxi-driver - though I suppose you might need a good lawyer to make sure you don't run foul of the libel laws. ;-)

I have bookmarked your blog and look forward to future instalments.

If Frank found your blog fascinating then that is saying something, as Frank if one of the most incredible and interesting members of the Steorn forums. I also found this posting on the button, as I'm a physicist and astronomer and Steorn forumite. I must peruse your blog at my leisure - but first that manoeuvre beckons,

First, Jomaxi, here's some inspiration regarding Frank's suggestion to write a book.

A lady New York City hack just published hers, and she has a blog too: New York Hack.

@blogtrotter re Grimer: Well, what can you say about a man who uses his own head to calibrate his stress gauges?

I'm surprised that no one has jumped on the McKenna or Lilly connections this lady has. I'm sure I've met very many people in her circle of acquaintances.

The other person on the first journey I can't remember anything about, except he worked for NASA.
Frank, as this is my last weekend driving a taxi (I return to musical pursuits) the blog will continue as I recount my experiences, but with a sense of imminent closure: like the Universe really: Finite, but Unbounded.
JIO thanks for the link.
Blogtrotter, which particular manoevre are you referring to?
