Free energy? Prove it

Steorm, an Irish company, has claimed to create a technology that under certain conditions is greater than 100% efficient i.e. free energy! They've set a challenge to the scientific community to test their technology and validate their claims. There's not much information on the site about how the technology is supposed to work so naturally I sceptical as we've heard the free energy clam many times before but the fact that they're being so open about the validation process, allowing anyone to apply to be part of it, makes me think that they may have an ace up their sleeve.
