Temperature measurements of the Orbo effect
The setup consist of a toroid with coil winding and a dremel motor. On the end of the dremel is a round piece that allowed me to attached 4 NdFeB magnets, two on each side (180 degrees apart). If we look at one side (two magnets) we’ll see one magnet that is facing us is south and the other magnet is north. The toroid coil is not loaded and there’s no current flowing through the coil. A bunch of people at overunity dot com have been discussing how the Steorn eOrbo might be working, and I’ve been doing similar magnetic simulations in FEMM for years. So I decided to slap together a quick experiment to see if I saw a particular effect. While running the machine, I kept noticing how cold it appeared, but thought that was due to air circulation. So I grabbed the non-contact IR gun and to my surprise the machine was colder than ambient temperature. So I mounted everything, the dremel motor, the IR gun, and took this footage. The ambient temperature is over 67F. The dremel had been running for while earlier, but the dremel and everything was resting unused for ~ 1/2 hour prior to taking this video. So IMO the temperature of the dremel was not that high during this footage. The wires connected to the toroid are connect to a volt meter, the oscilloscope, and a power supply, all of which were off (except the scope) during this footage. One thing that seems odd is that the dremel rpm will suddenly change by a lot. I’ve used this dremel a lot, and it never varies like by itself. It …
