It's a scam. The purpose is to get investors.

The Challenge
Sean McCarthy, CEO of Steorn, has said that he posted this challenge
in the pages of The Economist to catch the attention of
academicians, scientists and researchers. However, his choice of
this eminent and widely read business publication is clearly gauged
to catch the eye of business institutions and potentially - funders.
It is rare that such a "throwing down the gauntlet" occurs in so
public a forum. But Steorn knows that its claims will encounter
substantial cynicism as it goes against a basic principle of
physics: the conservation of energy. So its defense is to begin with
a bold offense.
Patents filed by Steorn could also encounter the skepticism of
various patent offices, which will not grant patents for "perpetual
motion" machines. So Steorn has not patented their core technology.
Rather, they have filed a sequence of patents which describe various
aspects of the technology but not its overall effects. One such
patent suggests an arrangement of magnets and a magnetic shield on a
linear slide to act as a low-energy actuator switch turning the
magnetic fields on and off.
If verified then this device would be a remarkable achievement. If
not, it joins a long list of failed or delayed free-energy devices
including other magnetic shield devices and the Motionless
Electromagnetic Generator (MEG), reportedly still in "engineering
development" after many years of burning through funding capital.

Follow the links at the end of the article for other sites that show how
these devices can't work. Stuff like this has been going on for decades.
Investors will lose every penny.

Testing such a claim is simple.
'Close the loop' - that is, start up the machine and then remove its
power source taking only power from its output. Any *significant* excess
siphoned off over a period of hours should be sufficient to prove the
claim. Allow the scientists to check the machine for hidden batteries or
inductively couple power.
Every claim of 'free energy' that I've come across fails to do this, for
very good reasons.

I would suggest that the inventors of this device take a look at the
following web page:
http://www.randi.org/research/challenge.html
If their device really works, then they should have no problem walking away
with $1 million.

If their device really worked I would have no problem raising
$100million for them.
