 ==Claims and assumptions about orgone energy==
-Reich believed to have detected microscopic structures in his experiments, „Energy bubbles, that represent the transition stages between inanimate and living matter“. They were to be created „all the time in nature through a process of dissolution of anorganic and organic matter that can be established experimentally.“<ref>Wilhelm Reich: ''Die Entdeckung des Orgons''. Band 1. Köln: Kiepenheuer & Witsch 1969, S. 346 (Glossar)</ref> He called these energy bubbles bions. As an interpretation of his measurements he finally postulated the existence of a specific biological energy which he called "orgone".

As an interpretation of his measurements he finally postulated the existence of a specific biological energy which he called "orgone".
-Reich believed that that he could detect electrical fields with an electroscope or electrometer in electrically non-conductive materials such as rubber, cotton wool or sand, that originate from a cosmical energy called orgone. In analogy to his observations about Sapa bions which should emit energy, he believed in the existence of inborn human orgone energy. Orgone believers define life as "orgone energy that pulsates in a membrane" an call the doctrine of orgone energy ''Orgonomy''.

Orgone believers define life as "orgone energy that pulsates in a membrane" and call the doctrine of orgone energy ''Orgonomy''.
-Orgone energy was also available in inexhaustible quantities in the atmosphere and in soil and detectable with electric meters. The amplitude of an electric meter (an obsolete instrument to measure high voltages), however, only shows the level of voltage, but not the available energy. While the opening of a plastic container or rubbing on carpet might yield voltages of several thousand volt and lead to a corresponding measurement on an electric meter, but considerable electrical energy cannot be produced by this since only a limited number of charge carriers are utilized and at best a very short, low-power pulse can be generated. In accordance, air electricity, which can have voltages in the kilovolt range, cannot be used for energy production.

-The orgone term is not scientifically recognized and is used only in the circles of the Reich- or orgone supporters. Some of them believe that orgone energy is identical with the phenomenon of the so called ''floaters'' (see: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floater floaters in Wikipedia]) or ''orgone energy waves'', brief flashes of light (flickering before the eyes) or the sensation of high-frequency noise from tinnitus or circulatory disorders and brief loss of consciousness.

-The first critic of the orgone concept was Albert Einstein, on whom Reich imposed his theories. Einstein took the trouble to verify the Reich's predictions, but could explain the test results with conventional physics without relying on abstruse hypotheses and wrote back to Reich: „I hope that you will develop your skepticism and won't let yourself be deceived by understandable illusions.“.<ref>The exchange of letters in facsimile form and related material was published by Reich in 1953 int the context of a biographical series: Wilhelm Reich: Biographical Material: The Einstein Affair.

-According to Reich, there is also a degenerate form of orgone energy called DOR (of "Deadly Orgone Energy"). DOR would cause darkening of sunlight. However, DOR was no smog nor dust, but a "negative energy" that would make it impossible for the atmosphere to transport sunlight. DOR would also damage [[orgone accumulator]]s. In recent times, [[electromagnetic radiation]] is often equated with DOR and it is said, that devices that emit electromagnetic radiation, also would radiate DOR.

 ==Orgone accumulators, orgone rays, orgone generators==
-Reichs assumptions about orgone energy led to orgone therapy and to the development of [[orgone accumulator]]s, booths that should be able to store orgone. The [[cloudbuster]], a structure made of copper pipes, whose ends are usually cast in a block of [[orgonite]] (a mix of resin and metal fragments) will according to Reich be able to discharge orgone from the atmosphere to the ground. Orgone accumulators and Cloudbuster are offered by esoteric dealers, but mainly Do-It-Yourself instructions are distributed. On a large scale [[orgone radiator]]s are are commercially offered. Orgone radiators, which are typically designed as a one-sided pointed rod of metal, will absorb orgone energy and it is claimed in advertising that it will return it "purified and refined" as a concentrated beam. Also, there are "orgone generators", also called "chi-generators", which would allow one not only to affect orgone energy but to produce it.
