The return of Steorn & Orbo launch

[hartiberlin]

Well,
I made already 3 Videos about the new Orbo cells here:

and now STeorn posted this update themself:

And now one guy having got his Orbo Cube charger is doing tests here:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuaWFTUIBHtmuztuIw-Tjcg/videos?flow=grid&view=57
but it seems he got a defective unit, that must be replaced now, as the inside
of the OCube is potted to prevent copying...

Also there are 2 x 9 Volt batteries as a "theshold voltage" supply, so these cells
can charge better...
These are wired in series with a 1 MegaOhm resistor, so they will not draw much
power for the batteries, but these will then just only last for about 3 to 5 years it was
said...
As these batteries are also potted inside the device, after 3 to5 years you can through
away the OCube, if these batteries are discharged... NOT GOOD !
Especially at this price level...
Hope this helps...

Regards, Stefan.

Here on this page, there are also now circuit diagrams in the comments and the
guy describes, how he tested his OCube charger:

Here are the latest tests from Frank with his OCube.
Also the comments are very helpful at the end of the page:

Also Steorn has posted some videos of their Photo model OGirl Rachel getting her OPhone Mobile Phone
fixed, as the loudspeaker connection was broken:

The whole thing is a poor joke.

e-catworld is testing a defective unit and as always with such jokes, the really good unit will come later a few technical issues have to be resolved.

The testimony of the pretty girls with the silly cellular phones is just silly.

Come on Orbo-Hoaxers, you can do better than this.

Greetings, Conrad

@Conrad, I still think it is a valid technology, but Murphys law
has again hit as the only one shipped device for Ecatworld seems
to be defective...
Also Shaun saying 40 % shipped products are now defective is
really a bad reputation... Seems they just shipped Alpha Hardware,
which was not fully tested yet...

So hopefully they will learn from these mistakes and soon
ship a working replacement to Ecatworld...

Regards, Stefan.
