Putting on my tin foil hat I will say the reason for this is obvious. Various entities are directing some sort of energetic beam weapon to disrupt the workings of their device.

Could This be the device?

Please explain the difference between dark energy and zero point energy.
As far as I can tell, they are both unseen forces that apparently describe one and the same with respect to pulling energy out of thin air for use with a mechanical device.
I'm not an expert on either so maybe you can enlighten me.

Of course, eventually they'll inspect their magnets and realize we swapped out three for slugs...

Turned out that the gizmo was tapping into overhead high voltage lines for it's power...
Sorry, can't find the link to this story...
Now THAT is interesting!!! So that device was syphoning power from the electromagnetic field surrounding the power lines... with the power lines at least 20 feet away? And not connected by wires?
There was a farmer somewhere who ran a long line parallel to a HV distribution line that ran through his property. There was enough electromagnetic coupling to the line that he could run quite a bit of his farm off the parallel line. IIRC he was eventually prosecuted for stealing electricity even though there was no physical tap. I thought it was pretty clever, but apparently the judge wasn't convinced.

And no one finds this interesting?

If you want to get something more immediately useful out of a high-tension power line, you can use the E-field it puts out to light fluorescent tubes underneath it. Creepy, yet compelling.

Wait let's not all jump to conclusions on the idea that this is caused by stray electromagnetic energy powering the steorn device just yet.
