New Orbo video and going on sale in Dec.

[Jimboot]

I looked at their Facebook page and a posting they made about a week ago had only 75 shares or thereabouts.  That's "incredibly dead" as far as activity goes.  Their dead website now redirects to the Facebook page?  No money for renewing their website registration?  Note their website was there but inactive for the past six months.

1200 Euros?  It almost seems like a joke, they are pricing it so that nobody will buy one.  Nobody buys, nobody knows.

Steorn has fallen long and hard.

With all due respect this IS something I know or thing or two about. Your conclusions are obviously silly and I suspect you did that deliberately. You don't renew website registrations, you renew your domain name, which you can see expires in two years.

I don't know who advised to 301 the website to FB but IMHO not a smart move. Usually its done naively because there is more activity at FB so why run a website as well. They should share the message & own the destination.
75 shares is not "incredibly dead" I could go and buy 20K shares from robots.... Unless you do an analysis of the 75 ppl that did the shares you cannot make that claim. On the other hand their FB page has had nearly 1200 likes in a week. I think their launch could have be handled better but your "analysis" is flawed. No disrespect.
I thought their video was excellent, warts and all.

Maybe this new orbo is like an antenna, harvesting RF for charging the lithium battery.....

[crazycut06]

Like what magnetman shared....

The below link will show my schematic diagram of a setup that can possibly produce 150 volts at 500 milliamps.
That's 75 watts of power if the antenna is large/long and high with an excellent ground. Location near a radiant energy source very desirable also.
I decided to OPEN SOURCE this info for anyone deciding to build it.  Al parts are inexpensive and available on
Ebay. I am presently constructing it. 

The C1 to C8 caps are 0.22uf Mylar.  The C9 to C 16 caps are electrolytic 33uf.  Working voltage of all caps must be over 150 volts.  The small signal diodes are rated at 150 volts 500 milliamps.  All diodes are Fairchild 1N458A
