I suggested it could be a heat pump about a week ago, after someone (you, I think) said that the orbo generated more heat than its electrical energy consumption. If it's a high COP (>2) heat pump it can be quite useful for heating purposes, although totally useless for electrical power generation as we discussed a few years back ("loop closed?" thread).
It being a heat pump would imply that the surrounding air gets cooler of course. It would also imply that if the device with its surrounding air is enclosed in a calorimeter it will not be found to be overunity!
