Some of this info is almost a month old, but still... First I've ever heard about it.
It would appear STEORN may soon be getting ready to market a cordless charger for your cellphone. Gets its energy from... who knows. http://www.zpenergy.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=3650 http://www.e-catworld.com/2015/08/18/another-potential-energy-breakthrough-s teorns-orbo-synergy-or-siphon-greg-daigle/ or http://tinyurl.com/ptsx9qs (There's a short video clip here. More on that later.) There's a photo of a red device that can fit rather awkwardly in your hand. One gets the impression the device is pretty close to being ready to be boxed and sold commercially to the public. Personally, I don't like the design layout, the aesthetics. It's red and (to me) appears to be in the shape of a hockey goalie mask. Looks to me like a bloody skull with a USB inlet in the middle where the nostrils would be placed. Circled are "+" and "-" characters where the eyes would be, and the word "ORBO" is where the teeth would be. Personally, I would have sent the ghastly design back to the rapid prototype department for another redo. And perhaps it has. As-is, the contraption gives me the impression that it would take up a lot of unnecessary real-estate on my already cluttered desk. There is also an interesting video of what I presume is a pre-commercial prototype demo ORBO power box designed to charge cell phones. The prototype has reportedly been extensively test driven is at Slattery's Pub in Dublin, which is "...well known to be the favorite social establishment of Steorn's CEO Shaun McCarthy." Slattery's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/slatterys.pub/posts/778493042246379 Ending on a humorous note, in the video at Slattery's someone with a voice that sounds like Shaun McCarthy explains how to ORBO device works. Someone off camera asks how the box is powered? "Powered by Guinness", the Shaun-like voice quips. Whether the voice is really Shaun or not is pure speculation on my part. ORBO or not, I think I would like to visit Slattery's just for a Guinness! That's product placement for you. The saga continues...
