by the end of January. This was at the Steorn forum a while ago.

Please reset your clocks to run out on February 01, and begin arguing whether or not the attempts at validation will take place, what the results will be, and whether or not Sean will hire testing labs that meet with your approval.

Edit to change 'replications' to 'validations'

I doubt it. Seans gift for obfuscation seems to have finally deserted him. The emperor's naked. Surely this is the beginning of the 'we made an honest mistake' attempted get out?

Hmm, this was the exchange:

Steorn:

iainduncansmith:Hello Mr Steorn,

Can we expect some independent, 3rd party, validation of your device as a part of the demo in January?

IDS

You sure can.

You sure can "expect"? Does not promise that they will ever do it. His usual vague as fuck answer.

He went away rather than answer the follow up question:

iainduncansmith:
Can you tell us what organisation will be conducting the tests and what the nature of their remit will be?

>>Sean has promised independent 3rd party validations

I'm tired of listening to lies. He could promise to give Maryugo a free unicorn, and I would still not care or believe him. Sean is a practised liar, and I have no time for his delays, smoke, mirrors and snake oil.

Hmm, here's an idea! Pull together a team of, ... I dunno, maybe 12 or so independent acknowledged experts in the fields of physics, engineering, electronics, etc, and have them evaluate it. I'm sure Steorn can find such a group willing to evaluate their claims, and I'm sure that because this is soooo important to Steorn that they will show them everything they got.

A positive report from this group would mean they won't need any more investors diluting the ownership of the existing shareholders, as they will get oodles of money from governments and international groups willing to exploit their discovery (not to mention the $1million they will get from James Randi, and the $1.4 million from the Nobel foundation).
