Steorn Orbo free energy scam - they're Still at it!
(1/26) > >>
mikeselectricstuff:
These scamers are now trying to sell an everlasting USB charger, from a website that redirects to Facebook orbo.com

And there's someone crowdfunding to buy one to bust :

mikeselectricstuff:
OK, so 1200 Euro for a charger that gives "One tablet charge per day"
Assuming a 5Ah battery, let' say 25Wh per day. Give them the benefit of the doubt and say 50Wh

Typical UK mains electricity cost £0.10 per kWh, so £1 is equivalent to 20 days' Orbo charge
So payback time approx 20,000 days, about 50 years...
mikeselectricstuff:
So here's my guess in the unlikely event that they so actually ship something.
It's a box full of batteries, with a circuit to limit discharge to their "one tablet per day" rate.
And a warranty that's slightly shorter then the battery life.
And probably some weasel small print to somehow avoid criminal fraud charges.

Seems like they aren't so keen on actually taking real orders.....

--- Quote ---So far as I know from the experiences of three people who have attempted to place an order with Steorn (myself included), orders have not yet been accepted. In my case, after sending an e-mail to orders@orbo.com (as instructed in the second webinar video) on December 2, I first received an automated response:

    Thank you for your interest in Orbo technology. We will respond to your email within the next 24 hours.

I then received an e-mail the next day, stating:

    Hi xxxxxxx, thanks, as I'm sure you can appreciate there is a high level of interest and we are working our way through everyone. Could you please let us know your shipping address and we will revert tomorrow with estimated shipping and delivery details etc?

    Best regards,
    The Orbo Team

I replied with my shipping address, but did not hear back the next day as they indicated I would, and it has been the weekend since. We'll see whether the order process proceeds as the new week begins.

I know a couple of people who have spent about 2k euro on machines which raise the ph of drinking water.
Lightages:
Wow, after all this time, they are still at it? I guess they probably don't have any other choice as their reputation as some kind of engineering company was destroyed the first day they started this BS about a perpetual motion machine.
