Take this for what it is worth...
For this device (orgone generator):

The resin component is supposed to take in a subtle energy not measured by modern science. It concentrates this energy statically, which creates the vital force allegedly found in all organic materials. With the embedded metal particles, the energy is not static but pushed around due to repulsion to metal. Then a gradient is generated that causes the device to imbibe more subtle energy. From this point, I have have to agree with the original inventor, Karl Welz, that the device only acts an orgone accumulator and not an orgone generator. Those peddling the device claim that an embedded quartz will take the energy absorbed by the device and suddenly make it good due to the crystal's piezoelectric qualities. I have yet to see satisfactory experimentation that proves this. Just know that this assertion is what spawned the whole "gifting" movement.
