What's up with Steorn's "Orbo" (free-energy perpetual-motion promises)?

Great Debates

I think they’re live, I saw two guys talking on camera 4, and on camera 3 I saw the head of one of them and the same color shirt, and it made sense based on the diagram showing the positions.

There’s gotta be a doper that can go to the museum and check it out for us when it’s open.

Try opening multiple browser windows. Then you don’t have to switch, you can watch all of the cameras simultaneously.

Something is screwy with the declared layout of the cameras anyway. From camera 4, I can see a cameras 2 and 3 to the left of the display, not the right (as the diagram shows them).

For whoever might be interested, apparently you can find a pic of the mysterious device here.
It’s also nice to read the updates to the original article and witness the ever-so-slight degradation of enthusiasm…

:smack:

Next time I’ll try to credit the person who originally posts the link (Colophon in this case)

As I said, this place is only a couple of miles from my office. If it had been open today as planned I’d have gone over. Unfortunately (well, not unfortunately, as it’s the weekend!) I won’t be back in London till Monday, but I’ll have a look then. By which time it will hopefully either be “working” or they’ll have given up and gone home.

I think it’s actually a new hanwavium-unobtanium allow.

Hmmm.. big hollow tubes, eh? Not the sort of place you could hide… batteries?

I was just watching the “Live” video feeds, and I noticed that there was a person near the clear box that contains the device on camera 1, but not on camera 3 or 4. I switched back and forth a few times to make sure. The cameras cannot all be live and directed at the same location. They’re either in different rooms or playing back a recording.–FCOD

If you see a girl in a U.KY. shirt, start thinking “loop-tape.” :slight_smile:

Nothing appears to be happening at Kinetica. Official opening time was about an hour ago, but there’s no sign of life - the device is still missing and the doors appear locked.

136

Oh, wait! A woman just walked about in the room - she was using a phone (“OK, where the hell is it?”), then she spent a while peering at the empty display case.

A bloke tried the door, but couldn’t open it.

137

Latest news, colour me shocked :wink:

138

Yeah, there are a few people walking around outside the locked door - I suppose it’s getting towards lunchtime. No sign that they might be about to unlock the doors to either the room or a free-energy future though.

On camera 4, you can see the reflections of what might be the people walking around behind the doors in camera 3 - can’t be sure they synchronise though. You can’t tell anything from camera 1.

And really, say I see a wheel spinning on the Internet. So what?

139

Wow. I suppose it had to fail in some way or other, but what a damp squib that was.

Dern tootin’. Would have been much more exciting if aliens had clouded their minds and made off with the world’s only “working” model.
