Solid State Orbo System

I'll just say this, knowing I will not purchase an SDK, or developer license from them.  If they can produce OU, it will be from the discovery (and exploitation) of a new physical law of our universe.  They didnt create the law.  The universe did.  That law does not belong to them.  And the mere understanding of this law will allow many different methods of extracting useful power.  All hypothetical.

If I had access to this kit.  And I was able to verify that it does indeed result in more power out than in, the first thing I would do is plaster the details of the principle all over the web, as long and as often as I could, until someone stopped me.

Such a discovery is so important to HUMANITY (read: screw your bank account), to not divulge everything immediately is sick and twisted.  How many millions of people have died due to wars over energy control, or due to not having energy to heat their homes, or to <fill in the blank>.

Sometimes(possibly all the time) I hate our commercialized world.  I have to believe that SOMEONE who has access to this information feels the same way.  I would give my life in order for the world to be free of our energy dependence.  I'm so tired of hearing about "people should be compensated", and patent this, non-disclosure that.  People need to think bigger, this is much bigger than our own individual lives.

Here! Here! Unfortunately the pyschopaths controlling this world don't share your view point. It's about money, power and control to them. Nothing more, nothing less.

Speaking of the principal behind the Steorn OU claim, does anyone even know exactly how it works?
I was doing some testing on toroidal coils, and they have very high inductance. If they are cut in half the inductance drops severely and is not even close to the same inductance as a full toroid even with twice the windings.

So saturating a small area of the core achieves the same drop in inductance as cutting the core.
The energy required to saturate a small area of the core to reduce the inductance of the entire core may be far less than the energy returned if a small current was applied to the windings just before releasing the small saturated area.
The increased total inductance would return far more than the initial spot saturation energy and the initial full core winding pumping.

The spot saturation could be supplied from another winding or a small moving neodymium magnet.
I'm totally not sure if this is Steorn's concept, it's the only thing I can see working at this point.

Anyone have other ideas?

Perhaps sometime in the future, someone will post the schematic.

Brilliant marketing by Steorn btw. They know only those that believe (or are optimistic about its potential) will join and/or pay for the development kit. They also know that these folks are less likely to openly question the claims. The prior quasi-public demo/release of the Orbo motor tests was a resounding failure, and it would appear they've learned not to repeat that fiasco. It was a damage-control nightmare for them, so they are now keeping things "under wraps" so to speak. Not a single bit of info publicly-released on the SS Orbo that I am aware of.

They talk about input and output measurements in this new brochure, yet anyone that followed the last Orbo motor debacle knows Steorn is prone to setup and measurement errors. It would not be unreasonable to presume that they have repeated these errors with this new SS Orbo and the associated development kit.

Out of curiosity, does one have to be a member and sign the NDA in order to buy the kit? (I would presume so, but I did not investigate this).

The fee for the kit includes SKDB membership. This would also entail the requisite NDA. This sort of begs the question that for those who paid the full, higher fee previously will they be able to acquire the kits gratis or at some reduced price to compensate.
