With technology come cords. With cords comes dependence on electricity and the utility companies that monopolize our energy supply. It has been this way since the dawn of the modern electric utility in the 1880's. To the modern brain the concept of free energy, on a large scale, is ludicrous if not highly improbable. An Irish company called Steorn has claimed to have designed a way to create energy. This has provoked this resurgence in thought on this matter. This is not energy conversion, per se, as in solar power or wind power. They claim to have broken one of the core law's of physics, the law of conservation of energy. The thought of creating energy out of thin air is not a new claim however. The roots can be traced all the way back to the very days of Edison, with the revolutionary intellectual, Nicola Tesla.
