Bearden on Naudin's MEG builds (claim 3)

"Twenty years after Tom Bearden's MEG", posted 2021-01-01 by Anthony Craddock (web administrator of Bearden's site) [web] https://zpenergy.com/modules.php?name=News&file=print&sid=3918 . It reprints a Bearden e-mail to Jed Rothwell and Hal Fox dated 2000-12-02: - "The researcher who replicated the MEG was Jean-Louis Naudin in France. He obtained COP = 7.3 in his later (third) build-up after an initial success of COP = 1.3." (Bearden's figure; the folder's Naudin pages give 1.75 and the 9 W lamp run, and Bishop analyses a MEG v3.0 test.) - Bearden's own claims: COP 17 to 20, and one unit pushed to COP > 100 before the output coil arced over. - An unnamed university team, "under U.S. Department of Defense auspices", was to replicate it independently from scratch, and an unnamed "government-certified private testing laboratory" was to test it; the names were withheld. - Craddock (2021): the MEG was "replicated by a number of researchers"; its details were once listed on a Department of Energy website and later removed; he links http://cheniere.org/megstatus.htm. Stake: Bearden is a named inventor and Magnetic Energy Ltd holds the patent (see the Espacenet note). Absence of evidence: the promised university/DoD replication and certified-laboratory test (announced 2000) are not found in any record read so far. Competing explanations: the tests never took place; they took place and were negative; they took place and were kept confidential (the e-mail itself cites patent attorneys' requests). Records that would decide it: DTIC or university reports naming the MEG; Bearden's cheniere.org "Correspondence" pages after 2001 (the megstatus page, read via Wayback 2022 capture, is only an index with a "Status report updates - see Correspondence Section" link and "Naudin's complete replication results and readings").

Steorn's statement on Naudin's Orbo replication (claim 7)

Article 3156 (2009-12-28, Leslie Pastor, "STEORN 'Overunity' DEVICE - Verified (Jean-Louis Naudin)") with comments [web] https://www.zpenergy.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&thold=-1&mode=flat&order=0&sid=3156 . A comment (2010-01-05) copies from PESN a message by Steorn's CEO, dated 2010-01-04: "Our engineers went through the JLN 'replication' today - both the information on his website and the his youtube channel. We have to advise that this is in no way a valid replication of Orbo. It is very clear to us that the arrangement that he has set up has a significant amount of [Counter]EMF in the system. While not quite a normal pulse motor, it certainly is not Orbo and is almost certainly not OU." Sterling Allan (PESN) replied that Naudin should be thanked for openness. Stake: Steorn was selling licences for Orbo at the time. This bears on claim 7: the inventor's own company rejected Naudin's build as a replication, separate from the question of whether Orbo itself worked. (Google results also show Steorn's 2009 jury verdict that the claim was not demonstrated and the firm's liquidation, announced 2016 and completed 2024: Irish Independent 2024-05-13 and Wikipedia "Steorn", seen as search snippets only, not opened.)
