The '''orgone accumulator''' (ORAC) is an invention of the Austrian psychiatrist [[Wilhelm Reich]] that he developed together with his [[orgone]]-hypothesis during his time in the United states approximately from 1939 on. The orgone accumulator is a device that will be used to collect a hypothetical orgone energy passively from the vicinity to concentrate it.

The orgone accumulator is a device which will be used to passively collect a hypothetical orgone energy from its environment and concentrate it.

One provider for orgone accumulators is a company "Jürgen Fischer Orgontechnik" in Bremervörde.<ref>Jürgen Fischer Orgontechnik, [http://www.orgon.de Website] Auestraße&nbsp;94, D-27432&nbsp;Bremervörde</ref> Jürgen Fischer offers orgone accumulators at four digit prices and claims that he had received the exact building instructions in interviews with Wilhelm Reich. The conversation with the deceased Reich was held through a medium and through close cooperation with angels in the afterlife Reich was able to greatly improve the accumulator. Essential is the correct arrangement of eight rose quartzes in the corners  - a construction, that Fischer claims to have protected as a utility model. In his book "Der Engel-Energie-Akkumulator nach Wilhelm Reich"(The Angel-Energy-Accumulator by Wilhelm Reich) not only the late Reich is cited, also the Archangel Raphael and Jesus Christ have their say.<ref>[http://www.heise.de/tp/artikel/20/20627/1.html Teure Lebensenergie: Von Orgon-Strahlern und anderen skurrilen Geräten], Uwe Post, Heise Verlag, 20.08.2005</ref>

The conversation with the deceased Reich was allegedly realized with the assistance of a medium and in close cooperation with angels. Since his demise, Reich allegedly has been able to vastly improve the accumulator. The correct arrangement of eight rose quartzes in every corner is said to be essential - a construction Fischer claims to have protected as a utility model. In his book "Der Engel-Energie-Akkumulator nach Wilhelm Reich" (The Angel-Energy-Accumulator by Wilhelm Reich) Fischer does not only quote the late Reich, but also Archangel Raphael and Jesus Christ have their say.<ref>[http://www.heise.de/tp/artikel/20/20627/1.html Teure Lebensenergie: Von Orgon-Strahlern und anderen skurrilen Geräten], Uwe Post, Heise Verlag, 20.08.2005</ref>

A Reichian orgone accumulator is a box made from a non-conductive material that is coated on the inside with conductive metal. In addition, an orgone accumulator is opaque. Orgone accumulators after Reich have been and are build big enough so that one or even several people find place in them. In addition to single layered versions Reich also used multi-layered versions to amplify the alleged effect.

Offered are also similarly structured "Orgone-copystation", with which it is supposedly possible to transfer "subtle medical information" from e.g. a [[Homeopathy|homeopathic]] substance to another substance.

There are also similarly structured "Orgone-copystation" on sale which allegedly allow the transfer of "subtle medical information" from e.g. a [[Homeopathy|homeopathic]] substance to another substance.

Reich sold or leased hundreds of these not properly licensed as medical devices orgone accumulators to patients with the promise of healing. This violated, according to the Food and Drug Administration FDA, current laws and led to an indictment against Reich.<ref>[http://inventors.about.com/od/qrstartinventors/a/orgone.htm Wilhelm Reich and the Orgone Accumulator], Mary Bellis, About.com Guide</ref>

==Efficiacy trials==

==Efficacy trials==

Several scientific studies could not prove the existence of orgone or efficacy of the orgone accumulator. It is therefore generally considered ineffective.
