Does this type of energy generation require a residual flux be present from an exterior source such as leakage from the AC power network? Also, can the system be positioned in any direction that results in a null or change to the energy level generated?

Remarkable that there is so limited scientific discussion on the key principle of their patent: rapidly switching core permeability while a coil carries current. Since core permeability relates to inductor value and inductor value is proportional to the energy an inductor holds, while carrying current, rapidly switching coil core permeability rapidly changes the amount of energy a coil holds. Of course it takes energy to change core permeability but there may be a time related overshoot in permeability change that could be harvested. It may take significantly less energy to change core permeability than the delta energy the related coil undergoes. In the case of Orbo, according their patent, they use a Metglas toroid shaped core to rapidly change the permeability of the air gap between two ferrite cores. Metglas requires very little energy to saturate and has very little core losses. Core losses of ferrite cores are also quite low. The potential energy gains are small however, which could make a small battery charger the ideal target application. Larger power generation requires too much core material and copper to make it economical feasible at this stage. The Watts/Kilogram ratio is currently too low.
