Well, they are a part of a company, which might have an interrest in hoaxing so their stock prices goes up - then sell.

Im not even willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Announcing something considered impossible by the community and not showing it around is hardly something that will drive stock-prices up.

Also, stock prices do not really affect a company. Stocks are a way of gaining the initial pool of money necessary to start up a business. Once they are sold, it doesn't really matter, apart from the fact that the stock-holders get some say in the company and get a portion of the profits if they so opt.

How much are the emails of 40,000 scientifically minded wishful thinkers worth?

Nah, they'll just buy up all the rights and sink it, like all the other perpetual motion machines and water-powered cars that never made it to market

Well, they at least deserve their jury to judge whether or not they produced anything interesting.

Reminds me of another inventor who had invented a similar engine, he claimed it worked because of the gravitational fields of celestial objects. Never heard anything about it again

Probably a case of potential energy, like in a spring, stored in the mountings, being released. I dunno, I'm an old sceptic I suppose...

It does seem kind of odd in that I think something like this would normally take place in a vacuum. What I read seems to imply that it doesn't require one.
