Hello Everyone,
What do you think about the claimed overunity efficiency of Steorn's E-Orbo pulse motor?
Basically, it is a brushless DC pulse motor that is claimed to be over 100% efficient and does not experience back EMF. Back EMF is what limits the efficiency of all motors to under 100%. Steorn is launching the E-Orbo technology as we speak. They will be having a public demo this month at the Waterways Center in Dublin Ireland. Also, they have posted a talk about their technology. In the following video they perform a couple experiments on an E-Orbo.
Introduction to an Orbo Electromagnetic Interaction - Part 1
In the video they show that the voltage/current of the motor does not change if the system is loaded or accelerates.
Do you think this motor could be over 100% efficient?
Later in the month they are supposed to have live experiments where they measure the energy going into and out of an E-Orbo.
Also, they are supposed to be inviting anyone who wants to do so to come in and take measurements themselves.
What do all of you think?
If this technology turns out to be legitimate it could be used to power electric vehicles.
