From the e-catworld.com: Another Potential Energy Breakthrough (Steorn’s Orbo) – Synergy or Siphon? (Greg Daigle)
This article asks the question: “If a similar ‘OU’ energy product is successfully introduced to the market before a LENR product is it likely to create synergy with, or detract from, any of Rossi’s Cats?”
E-Cat World has several times this year cited the ongoing efforts by Irish company Steorn to reintroduce their “Orbo” product. There was the release of a video in March showing a rotating armature that was said to self-sustain. In April there was the posting from Steorn’s CEO that they were demoing their “never-die battery” on the road. In May
a limited field test held in Slattery’s Pub in Dublin was reported.
In review, Orbo has never been demoed in public without suffering
significant valid criticism or outright failure. A scientific panel to
evaluate the technology quit due to what they said was lack of
sufficient data to do their analysis. Unlike LENR there are no publicly
reported replications being conducted and Steorn currently posts no
publicly available explanations about the physics behind the
engineering. And despite Steorn’s claims that the power output is due to
“asymmetric magnetism”, which Dr. Brian Ahern has suggested is an
underlying mechanism for LENR, there is very little objective evidence
available to the public on which to base the claims of Steorn.
In contrast to the public view of Orbo, members of the now defunct
Steorn Knowledge Database (of which I was under an NDA for several
years) were given extensive background information on Orbo including
interactive e-learning courses on the physics behind the phenomenon,
third-party engineering reports and engaged in discussions and postings
in numbers in excess of these E-Cat discussion boards. Postings in the
thousands by individuals was not at all uncommon. Steorn supplied a
stream of documentation covering components, circuits designs, materials
and captures from scopes. So to say that Steorn is likely fraudulent
because of its lack of publicly providing substantive material on its
technology would be like saying that Rossi is likely fraudulent for the
same reasons. Rossi has his cadres of knowledgeable individuals and
Steorn had its. Still, similar to LENR, Orbo is notably difficult to
reproduce.
Nevertheless, Steorn is preparing another release of its technology –
this time for wide distribution. Prototype case designs and packaging
designs have been reported. When it is released do not expect to see
another demo of the technology since Steorn has been down that road
before. Steorn’s CEO has also discounted the release of peer reviewed
research papers or independent testing results from professional labs.
Do expect to see people making their own evaluations based upon their
personal experiences with the technology...
