We are the Einstein Collective behind the Micro Orbital Gravity (MOG) System — an open-access, defensively patented, community-led engineering movement focused on energy sovereignty and practical prototyping.
From a rediscovered 1939 vision to a modern engineering roadmap, we advance the mechanics of tilted orbital planes, free-running hinges, and spiral gravity to explore new frontiers in power generation.
Mission and principles
Energy sovereignty: Our goal is to enable local economies — starting in Africa — with a buildable blueprint using accessible industrial components for 1000W generation at 3000 RPM.
Open-access pact: We share core information freely and invite participation, with a commitment to intellectual sovereignty and the use of breakthroughs for human betterment.
Defensive patenting: We use defensive patents to keep the technology open, preventing suppression or monopolization.
Origins and leadership
Engineering stewardship: The current roadmap is led by Herman Dormehl and the Einstein Collective, transitioning the concept from “impossible” to solvable engineering challenges.
From analogy to mechanics: We move beyond myth, documenting the principles of tilted orbital planes, asymmetric decoupling, and continuous torque harvesting — and inviting rigorous critique and validation.
Johannesburg base: Our project status is anchored in Johannesburg, South Africa, with global collaboration across disciplines.
How we work
Collective intelligence: We steel-man critiques, share findings transparently (including failures), and cross-pollinate ideas across telecommunications, mechanical, electrical, and legal perspectives.
From theory to iron: The ultimate arbiter is the physical prototype. We move fast to build, test, measure, and refine — including red-team analysis and endurance validation.
Open forums: We facilitate WhatsApp groups, blog topic clusters, and online meeting rooms with polls, minutes, and attachments to keep progress visible and accountable.

Join the collective
Participate: Whether you’re a thermodynamics PhD or a master mechanic, your input fuels the build: challenge logic, optimize materials, test sub-assemblies, and help monetize a supportive ecosystem around open core IP.
Access: Core information remains free; finer details (CAD, hinge algorithms, deep research) are shared under an open-access pact honoring intellectual sovereignty and human-first principles.
Where we operate: Pretoria, South Africa — with global collaboration and online meeting rooms supporting attachments, polls, live minutes, and project timelines.
Meeting rooms: Open by invite-only sessions are supported, with transparent documentation and downloadable assets to keep progress accountable. Sign Up above to have access to our Online Meeting Room.
