Re: Why do you believe in orgonite / orgone generators ?

In your video you say that there is voltage but no current. That can not be. A voltage (*any* voltage) can not be measured without current flowing into the test device. In your case, the input impedance of your meter is around 10 million ohms (10 megohms). With your stated average output of 0.2 volts and Ohm's law, this works out to 0.02 microamps, or 20 nanoamps. Using Watt's Law, the power delivered by your generator is 0.004 microwatts, or 4 nanowatts. So where is this free energy coming from? From the water. How do we know this? Because the voltage reading did not increase until you added the water.

The classic "voltaic pile" of grade school Science class is a stack of nickels, pennies, and small patches of paper towel soaked in salt water. You recreated this in your video. Copper has an electrode potential of +0.34 volts. Nickel (the plating on your voltmeter probes) has an electrode potential of -0.24 volts. This does *not* mean that anything with these two metals is an instant battery of 0.58 volts; it's way more complicated than that. But you do have two dissimilar metals, each with mobile electrons, and an electrolyte (tap water has lots of ions suspended in it). That's all it takes for *any* battery. Yours isn't very big, since 4 nanowatts is less than the energy of a falling eyelash.

If it's any consolation, Alessandro Volta made the same mistake. He, also, thought his cells were an inexhaustible source of energy, and did not appreciate that the voltage was due to chemical oxidation-reduction reactions.
