Free Energy?! Perpetual Motion Machine!?

So, Funga got me back in and here is one thing for your consideration.

Steorn, an Irish company, announced with a full page ad in The Economist that they have successfully developed a machine that outputs more energy than you put into it with no degradation of the component parts. The stated purpose of the Economist ad was to get everyone's attention in order to put together teams of engineers and scientists to do independent tests of 'the gadget.' Of course, if true, the first law of thermodynamics is out the window. Thus, by modus tolens, it is not true? Might also check out SteornWatch or the Wikipedia entry.
