By contrast, the "orgonite" and "generator" gadgets are feeble imitators. Maybe if one has absolutely zero knowledge or prior experience on the subject, the very weak orgone radiation from the metallic components of an orgonite-generator gadget might introduce someone to the subjective aspects of the radiation, and give them some limited subjective sensations or even unusual biological reactions. But the whole context of Reich's discovery then gets mystified and distorted way beyond rationality. For example, one can feel the life-energy radiation even more strongly as it radiates off a plain old plastic bag filled with steel wool pads, as found in any hardware store. Allow such a bag of steel wool to gently rest on your open palms and the radiant field is nearly always present and sensible. The orgone life-energy is everywhere, and interacts with all kinds of materials, but only Reich's original orgone accumulator or orgone blanket with their layered construction makes optimal use of this discovery.
The undocumented nonsense spread by the "orgone lump" junk promoters drags Reich's findings into a mystical swamp. Worst of all are the "chembuster" people, claiming to "end chemtrails" (jet contrails, composed of humidity and some air pollution) using Reich's words and terms in abusive and inaccurate ways. The orgonite-generator-chemtrail gadgeteers make fantastic claims, complete with references to mystical "shadow worlds" and "dark forces", speaking about "shape shifting reptillians" who are "repulsed by chembusters" or by "Holy Hand Grenade" pyramids made from "orgonite". Or they claim that serious health problems from exposure to cell phone and tower radiation, or "smart meters" is going to be "neutralized" by putting some orgonite lumps in your back yard. This is madhouse folly creating an overall public denigration and ridicule of Reich's work among more serious-minded people, maligning his important and objectively demonstrated findings. If you are serious, please consult Reich's original writings on the subject of the orgone energy and accumulator.

ADDENDUM: In case people don't believe what I am saying above, here is a prime example of the horrible distortions of Reich's name and terms, in the Orgonite/Orgone-Generator insanity.
" * ATTRACT NEW LOVERS LIKE ANTS TO SUGAR
* BRING BACK A LOST LOVE LIKE A BOOMERANG
* MAGNETIZE MONEY SO IT STICKS TO YOU LIKE GLUE AND MULTIPLIES LIKE RABBITS
* BECOME A POWERFUL LEADER AND FORCE OF NATURE IN YOUR WORKPLACE
* RADIATE CONFIDENCE AND CHARISMA LIKE A MOVIE STAR
* INFLUENCE OTHERS TO DO YOUR BIDDING AND HAVE THEM BEGGING TO SERVE YOU
* INSTIGATE LUST IN THE OPPOSITE SEX TO THE POINT THAT THEY LOSE CONTROL AND MUST HAVE YOU
* ATTRACT FRIENDS AND FOLLOWERS WITH THE GRAVITATIONAL FORCE OF A STAR
* ENHANCE OR INFLUENCE ANYTHING BY INCREASING THE PROBABILITY OF ANY OUTCOME
* MANIFEST YOUR DEEPEST DESIRES AND TAKE CONTROL OF THE LAW OF ATTRACTION "
The above appeared as a promotional on the website of Carl Weltz, selling "orgone-radionics" gadgets for thousands of dollars. This not only gives Reich and orgone energy an undeserved black eye, but the scientific pioneers of authentic radionics, such as Ruth Drown and Albert Abrams, must be spinning in their graves.
* Also see the fully-referenced version of this article, "Orgone Flapdoodle", within: In Defense of Wilhelm Reich: Opposing the 80-Years' War of Mainstream Defamatory Slander Against One of the 20th Century's Most Brilliant Physicians and Natural Scientists, by James DeMeo, Natural Energy Works, Ashland 2013. Available at Amazon and other on-line bookstores, also also from here.
** On Ebay one can find people selling products such as "chembusters", "holy hand grenades", "orgonite", "orgone generators", "orgone converters", "orgone zappers", "orgone pyramids" and a host of similar things. Notably, they all claim (without evidence) to have made great "advancements", going "beyond Reich", in a manner which makes a mockery of Reich's original solid and authentic natural-scientific findings. There are "orgone crystal power accumulators", "orgone pendants" and "pendant-beamers", "orgone manifestors", "orgone chalice transmuters", "tachyon orgone Reiki massage throw blankets", "biophoton orgone resonators", "therapeutic orgone wealth prosperity and money pillows", "orgone generators [for] love and sex" or for "weight loss" or "...career, business and prosperity", "radionics rife orgone tesla HHG zappers", and even "orgone-powered ouija spirit boards" all sold with Reich's name and terms stuck to them like so much glitter sprinkled on glue. Today they openly call their fake orgonite junk pyramids "Orgone Accumulators", fully deceiving the public by stealing his name and terms. None of these things bear any resemblance whatsoever to Reich's original orgone accumulator, nor can one find anything within Reich's large body of work to support them.
