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.

I think they are pulling a fast on, people are focused on the product/value of the supposed energy technology and are missing the product value inherent in the proposal and subsequent furor about it.

I prepose that the product they are building is a risk analysis model of international scientific and internet feedback regarding significantly challenging claims for any product. The company is listed in the Dublin tech School as a "Technology Risk Management Firm", which would mean if they built significant analytical data from the blogoshpere, the web traffic and the forum traffic on their website that has come in response to the claim that it could be leveraged in the product risk management consulting business.

So basically the "SCAM" is the product, they never have to produce a product or pay anyone, their scientific accolades dont matter because their business is based on marketing statistics and probabilities.
