BREAKING NEWS: Company claims to have invented a technology wich creates free energy

Steorn recently put an article in the Economist claiming to have invented free energy, this means energy without consuming anything, redefining our very way of understanding the universe. Until now there was no doubt that the principle stating "energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change form." was true. Steorn however comes with the following claims:
1. The technology has a coefficient of performance greater than 100%.
2. The operation of the technology (i.e. the creation of energy) is not derived from the degradation of its component parts.
3. There is no identifiable environmental source of the energy (as might be witnessed by a cooling of ambient air temperature). which very clearly would prove the previous principle wrong. Now they know that people will not believe until multiply third party scientists have proved them right; therefore Steorn decided to seek validation from the scientific community in a more public forum, and as a result have published the challenge in The Economist. The company is seeking a jury of twelve qualified experimental physicists to define the tests required, the test centres to be used, monitor the analysis and then publish the results.
If this comes out to be true the world economy would suffer big time; as there's a lot of money in the energy business.
But let's not panic till it's proven right, after all they probably just missed something..
