Steorn: “If This Is All Some Mad Ploy It Is Quickly Running Out Of Road”
February 1st, 2016Several years after their humiliating failure to demonstrate anything at all resembling free energy technology, Steorn now has a couple of Orbo products for sale. There’s a mobile device USB charger and a basic mobile phone. No external power needed, according to Steorn.
After watching this latest chapter in the bizarre story of Steorn unfold over the last couple of months, I think it boils down to this:
Either Steorn is selling free energy devices, or Shaun McCarthy will likely be headed to prison for fraud.
Now that they’re taking money from the public, there are real world implications for McCarthy and the gang, one way or the other.
Not long to wait now.
What do you think?

When he bribes the golden-ticket winning children in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Arthur Slugworth wants just one thing: the ever-lasting gobstopper. Wonka predicts it will revolutionise the confectionery business and Slugworth determines to unearth its secrets from the bowels of a factory he himself could never hope to enter.
Penetrating the inner-sanctum of Shaun McCarthy’s “Steorn” headquarters in Dublin’s docklands is a lot easier and yet it still has the feel of entering the chocolate factory.
After years of speculation, mystery and controversy, the public are finally getting their teeth into Steorn’s gobstopper – the everlasting (or self-charging) battery. Whether or not they will swallow it is another matter.
I’ve been following Seorn for about 10 years and as usual there’s a suspicious lack of info regarding their new products. ‘Never die’ sounds more like a hidden qualifier than a technology feature.
There’s zero info about how the OCube works, how it’s used, etc. The lack of details is an immediate red flag for me.
That said, I would be surprised if they were selling something bogus. I think it’s more likely that there’s an undisclosed caveat that the user won’t discover until they receive the device. Maybe it charges itself from movement or something.
I’m certainly skeptical and will wait for product reviews before even considering a purchase.
No moving parts. If you go on the Orbo Facebook page and look over some of their older videos, he assembles one of the cells on camera. It’s somewhat like a capacitor in physical construction, but there’s a continuous voltage.
The original Orbo was going to be some sort of spinning magnet thing. These are different. Definitely no moving parts.
