We call this process of establishing balance entropy. For instance, if you bring a hot object in contact with a cold object, both objects will have the same temperature after some time. One object will be colder, while the other object will be warmer. The energy that the physicist refers to is electromagnetic in nature, of course. The average academic physicist of our days is still hostile to the concept of life energy.
Life force operates the opposite way.
If you bring an object with a high potential of life force in contact with an object that has a low potential, the object with the higher potential will draw from the object with the lower potential. He designed his orgone accumulators following these two principles. An orgone accumulator is a box that has alternating layers of organic and metallic materials. The outermost layer is organic while the innermost layer is metallic. As a consequence there will be a flow of orgone energy from the outside of the orgone box to the inside.
