		<description>From an engineering perspective, the major advantage of a &#039;sonic&#039; vibrator would be its speed. A Hitachi Magic Wand tops out at about 6,000 RPM, whereas a high-end sonic toothbrush (which tech the Orb is presumably based on) tops out at around 40,000 RPM.

When you hit that kind of frequency, the vibrations start to cause interesting interactions in any fluids (or soft tissue) that they are in contact with. Sonic toothbrushes use these secondary wave effects to create waves and shear forces in the actual gums, which acts to dislodge plaque. In a vibrator, I can only imagine that those wave/shear effects would be very effective on tender bits...</description>

		<description>Greetings everyone from Seattle. Long time no see.  

Beyond the fact that Revel could obviously really use someone decent on the PR team to craft a better message, I can give you a first hand account that I have seen the orb. Hallelujah. I HAVE BEEN TOUCHED BY THE ORB. Hallelujah!   Well maybe not the cool levitating orb but a orb prototype, nonetheless.  

Daddy Likes.  

I bet the toothbrush comparison came up because the Seattle investment community is so familiar David Giuliani&#039;s sonic sensations and made the &#039;uncomfortable&#039; comfortable with some kind of analogy.  Building up that &#039;yes ladder.&#039;

I am actually a bit excited by the possibilities of using these motors in my own machine work. Not only is the tech customizable to nail certain frequency spreads to make vibrators more effective functionally; it also enables another stage of broader product innovation with great flexibility in form factor.  Lower power consumption.  The motor is stupid quiet.  Betcha you could use it on a plane and no one would notice.  Not that I would recommend such use, that would be just wrong, right? 

Bottom line, it felt pretty damn good.  Daddy likes.   

You know that is the second time I have said, &quot;Daddy likes.&quot;  Kind of creeps me out.  No more.

That said, they have cool IP (you can read the patent with an easy web search) and a lot of hard work ahead of them bringing it to market but I am confident that the very capable Robin will give it all he&#039;s got.  I love seeing cool projects get funded.  Congrats!  

Which reminds me, one other thing that sticks out in my mind that should not go unrecognized is the investment groups that stepped up and came in on this deal.  It is great to see such forward thinking in the investment community.   I know what it is like to pitch businesses that have to do with your naughty bits.   It is actually quite a challenge.  Thank you ladies and gentlemen.  Lead by example.  There is still opportunity in &#039;the biz.&#039;   Keep your eyes open for new opportunities.</description>

		<description>Interesting! I&#039;m not and electrical engineer, but as for the &quot;revolutionary resonant motor&quot;, my guess is that they&#039;re planning to use some kind of piezo actuator - something like the cell phone vibrator demo&#039;d in this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GarBZhZnFQs 

Their toothbrush meets sextoy PR angle is hilarious since the toy itself seems to bear absolutely no resemblance to a toothbrush. I wonder if it levitates off the base like that too? Usually product images that imply levitation are a sure indicator of vaporware.
