I doubt it though =p

ean McCarthy believes his small Irish high-tech company has overturned one of physics' most fundamental laws.

It happened by accident, he says. His company Steorn was looking for an efficient way to power closed-circuit TVs that spy on ATMs, and instead stumbled on a technique they think produces more energy than it consumes.

It obviously has not been acheived if they're just like "oh we believe it works" and the entire scientific community is like "no it doesn't lol prove it" and they can't.

All these perpetual motion machines were "achieved" too. So where's my flying car?

I call bullshit. If it's reproduceable and is indeed perpetual motion, it would be a major breakthrough....but I don't think it is.
