it’s made of layers of dissimilar conductive metals, with layers of a non-conductive “electret” material sandwiched between them
Sounds familiar…

Nah. Trump would have a subscription scheme. Bernie is the one promising cheap/free stuff.
The sensible thing to do would have been to run it as a kickstarter

“a directory of mostly wonderful things”, ‘mostly’ in this case is the ‘impossible’ part : )

Way to go BB, link back to these shills so they get even more attention.
Attention is what they thrive on so you’re just feeding their machine (which doesn’t produce energy, free or otherwise. it just produces money for them).

It’s not free if there’s tax increases along with it, although given how the American healthcare system is, switching to single payer and increasing taxes a bit would probably still end up saving the average person money overall.
I think that is the tool used to verify that the Orbo is, in fact, running on perpetual motion.

Wow, that Facebook page is remarkably friendly, I thought. Well, if you are wondering, the number of skeptical posts it takes to get banned is apparently “2”.

I think it’s important to publicly call out stuff like this. Being ignored by skeptics won’t make them go away.
Ideally, if a naive consumer googles “Steorn” or “Orbo” or “Free Energy” the top results should be a list of articles describing those con artists for what they are rather than just a bunch of gushing press releases promising the impossible.

They are being pretty aggressive about deleting unfriendly posts.
Now I’m starting to think that this is just an investor lead generator. They’re directing all inquiries to an email address, so when they are done they’ll have a list of rich idiots. No need to actually ship one of these devices.
