Leaked unofficial test data proves Orbo is 110% real http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AvmrsddWJo

You decide if the video is fake or not.  In the meantime, we'll just have to wait for the official test data to be released.

Lols! 110% luvyawork.

Did anyone else besides PL try the metglass? I couldn't get mine to saturate.

Now, regarding replicating the eOrbo I'd like to ask those who already have experience in it, could you please recommend a place where one can get adequate toroid coils? Also, I'd like to use a pulse generator instead of a battery and a schematic to create the pulses. I guess it should be quite powerful pulse generator (providing ten or more volts and current on the order of amps isn't usual for a pulse generator, it seems). Would you recommend any? Thanks.

The Perminvar alloys have constant permeability and almost no hysteresis up to flux densities of 1,000 Gauss. Even at still higher flux densities, residual magnetization and coercive force remain practically zero.  The permeability of Perminar, however, remains constant only as long as high magnetization is avoided.  Other materials which have constant permeability are Conpernik and Isoperm.  These materials have a near 0 hysteresis loss.

The above information can be found on the 12th page of the "SURVEY, CHARACTERISTICS, AND EVALUATION OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE MAGNETIC CORE MATERIALS" by the United States Airforce, http://www.overunity.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=downfile&id=381

Concerning the Toroids for an Orbo:

I used  FERROXCUBE - TN23/14/7-3E25 - FERRITE KERN, TOROID, TL2/14/7-3E25
Hersteller:    FERROXCUBE
Farnell Best.Nr.:    3056971
Herst.Bez.:    TN23/14/7-3E25

10 meters of 0,4 mm wire on the Toroids.

But I also tried other Toroids of similar size and my little Orbo-Motor (without pick up coils) worked as well. You can see my best Orbo-Motor on the net (just two Toroids, no pickup coils):

I think that the Toroid material does not matter very much (as long as it is some Ferrite, could even be iron) when one only wants to build some sort of motor. To produce over unity the Toroid material might be the crucial point. But I do not know anything specific like everybody else because Steorn is very secretive.

I also found out that it does not matter very much how one orientates the Toroids in respect to the magnets as long as one allows for a a certain distance (about 8 mm) between the Toroid and the magnet. See the attached photo. What I call "radial" seems to be the best solution (but not overwhelmingly).

Attached you find the circuit I am using to drive my Orbo replications (which only function as motors). All components can be bought from Farnell (for a few Euros).

When I try to get some usefull energy out of these Orbo-Motors, I fail. Pick up coils deliver very little power. My Orbo motors have very little torque but spin quite nicely when the bearings are very good. I can drive the motor (you can see on Step-Load) with as little as 0,15 Watts on the two Toroids. I cannot put more than 4 Watts through a Toroid because it will become hot quickly.

I am just building one more Orbo-Motor with a dynamo that has the disk with the magnets attached to its shaft. I want to measure the output of the dynamo in comparison with the input to the Toroids. There will not be over unity but at least I will know the efficiency of my Orbo-Motors. That will be the end of my excursion into Orbo because I suspect that the Orbo-Effect is very small or cold even be an illusion.

Brushless motors ( e.g. http://www.hacker-motor-shop.com/e-vendo.php?shop=hacker&SessionId=&a=catalog&t=3&c=3&p=3) can be used as dynamos (three phases). But I do not know yet how efficient these brushless motors are as dynamos. As motors they are wonderful, having up to 80% efficiency.
