My expectation is that they're applying anomolous voltage, since all previous versions of Orbo depended upon tricking magnetic force into performing free work, and they're claiming that the current tech works in fundamentally the same way.
I've had no contact with them since the SKDB closed, but have personally validated their permanent magnet and solenoid-based systems (along with multiple more qualified experts). In both cases, the input workload is either substantially or wholly attenuated, while harnessing a full and uncompromised output workload - analogous to dropping a mass when it's heavy and picking it up when it's light. The permanent magnet tech exploited slow rise times of induced B for a given H, akin to climbing the stairs on a kid's slide while gravity's still getting its act together, then sliding down under its full influence. The e-Orbo is an effective N3 violation, causing concurrent equal and opposite back EMFs to mutually self-cancel, resulting in a Lenzless motor - the rotor attracts to the deactivated stator solenoid driven only by the rotor-mounted passive permanent magnets, then coasts away from the active stator solenoid under zero force (ie. not interacting with it at all). Hence the input workload is resistance heating, which is inherently decoupled from and incidental to the entirely passive output workload of accelerating the rotor. As such, rotor KE evolves following the usual half-square of angular inertia times angular velocity, while input energy sums linearly per cycle, hence there's a threshold RPM beyond which output < input. So while i've considered interpretations that would invoke free electrons from nowhere, i think free EMF of some kind is the more consistent likelihood.
