Didn't even know this existed, thanks Jones for making me look more learned than I am! No, I was just saying that IF it is a heat pump, THEN of course the surrounding air should get cooler, I had no mechanism in mind, I don't even know what the Orbo is made of. Your magnetocaloric effect could be

Yes, good point William, that's the way to make a capacitor both large and fast. However, if their claim is that they produce more heat than they consume electrical power as Harry said (some form of heat pump maybe?), then the capacitor voltage could drop even if their claim was valid couldn't
