Oh, yes. The Correas did claim to be replicating Orgone energy. See: http://www.aetherometry.com/Aetherometry_Intro/Orgone_Motor_Intro.php I did not like them, their attitude or their work. They claimed the energy comes from the sun and goes through the earth at night, sort of like neutrinos. I figured if it go through the earth, it should pass through a detector or collector without imparting significant energy. I suggested they try it underground in a basement, at night. They didn't try that. I do not understand why someone would make that claim and then refuse to do the obvious test of it. I seem to recall they did it in sunlight with a solar cell as part of the gadget. Maybe that was a bad dream? However, as I recall, Gene worked with someone else who claimed to replicate Orgone energy. The device was basically a wooden box. It did not seem convincing but I paid little attention to it, so I cannot judge. - Jed
