Steorn's claims are up there with perpetual motion machines. Remember "cold fusion"? Folks with a lot better credentials in that area were claiming they'd achieved it, but no one was able to reproduce their results, which made their claims highly questionable.
Steorn isn't willing to release enough info for anyone to attempt to independantly reproduce their results, but their failure in their first demo savaged their credibility, too.
They may honestly believe they've found a loophole in the laws of thermodynamics, but personally, I'll start taking it seriously when they have a working prototype that is independently confirmed to behave as they state.
Right now, I'd have to call it blarney. (Unless they've found a way to tap into the Other World of Robert A. Heinlein's "Waldo"...
