Perpetual motion—for real?

Today's Wired News features an article about Steorn, a company that claims to have created a perpetual motion device. Steorn says its technology "provides a significant range of benefits, from the convenience of never having to refuel your car or recharge your mobile phone, to a genuine solution to the need for zero emission energy production." It seems weird to me that a company claiming to have overturned one of the CENTRAL LAWS OF PHYSICS sees recharging a cell phone as a primary application.

BTW, for our new readers—in our film, the drama starts when our protagonist accidentally creates a perpetual motion device.
