The Steorn Challenge
Following three years of development, in August 2006 Steorn issued a challenge to the world's scientific community to test our technology and report the findings. The challenge was issued in a full page advert in the Economist magazine. Steorn took this unusual move after several third parties refused to allow private validation tests to be placed in the public domain.

The following video short explains our thinking behind "The Challenge."
Over 5000 people applied to become involved in the process of validation, including nearly 500 qualified scientists.
The validation process began in January 2007 and is expected to conclude by the end of this year. View a summary of the contract between Steorn and Jury members.
