Sebby (self biasing thermal energy converter)
« on: January 12, 2014, 04:07:18 AM »
This page is set up for posts about the coming replications of the Sebby device.


It is not a page for debates, I will not post replies to such posts, I will provide help and assistance to those doing replication experiments based on the sebby.

www.quentron.com

So far there have been over 100 successful experiments carried out but only a few have been in any way public, however over the next month(s) I believe there will be a number of people prepared to have their names included, one of the first will be Prof Steven E Jones, hopefully followed by a very senior physicist from an English university, and maybe one from an Australian and a Canadian University.


The simple reality is that as each one is prepared to come forward, so the avalanche will begin.


The production of 100 10W sebby will put into the hands of many a high powered device that can easily show that 2lot is no longer a barrier, and that logically quenco will power our phones, cars, homes and industry.


The quenco technology I am working on is protected IP, however the Sebby is open to all to use, build, or sell, it is public domain technology and so free of royalties. Think about that, you can be an active part in this technological advance, you can produce your own Sebby for solar farms etc. Sebby devices can generate power by using gas as a fuel and extracting up to 90% of the energy contained therein, ie 3x better economy that an ic engine.

To all the skeptics out there, put your money where your mouths are, order a 10W Sebby, or do the $10 experiment, it is a lot more rewarding than just shooting off your mouth year after year with your negativity borne of the status quo, of course people should be wary of claims of free energy, but skeptics claims of knowledge based upon other past failures is to deny the one thing we all know happens, "Breakthrough discoveries".

It would probably be helpful if you would publish for each the $10. device experiments and the 10W device experiments that you have done:

1. The exact experiment set-up for the experiments you have conducted.
2. The methods that you used to verify that your instrument readings were sufficiently accurate for the purposes of each experiment.
3. The error bars that you established for your measurements.
4. The exact experiment set-up for the null experiments that you defined.
5. The measurement results from your null experiments.
6. The measurement results from your live device experiments.
7. The methods you used to interpret your measurements.
8. The conclusions that you reached.

I think it would also be helpful if you would clarify your statements that together I find unclear:

" I warrant that the device will therefore convert 100% of thermal energy inflow into electrical energy output.

Note: Thermal losses due to unintended thermal flux through insulators or conductors to ambient are not considered part of the thermal energy to electrical energy efficiency conversion calculation."

Together they seem to mean:  "I warrant that the device will therefore convert 100% of thermal energy inflow (that is not thermal loss) into electrical energy output."  If the thermal loss is most of the thermal energy inflow then that wouldn't be very special.  Please clarify what you mean.

If you don't already include them under item 1) above, it would also be helpful if you would put some numbers to the:

A. Input thermal power.
B. Input temperature.

that you have used to obtain 10W output electrical power.

@MarkE


I would be very happy to post on quentron.com experimental notes, but not here.


I am extremely busy this week so it may not be until next weekend or so, but I will attend to your suggestions.


My motivations in not providing lots of experimental details was to encourage others to do it their way and to hope that people like yourself would do it to prove me wrong, and in so trying to prove me wrong you would create all sorts of attempts to support your opposed views. However to date few people of note have wished to engage me so it seems now like a poor strategy, accordingly your suggestion to provide minute detail has merit.


For now I will simply say that we (numerous scientists) are all confident we are not measuring phantoms, or plucking tiny signals out of noise.

Philip thank you.  That will greatly help to better understand what you claim and what you have done.  If you could answer one question now I would appreciate that.  Have you ever produced 10W give or take 50% from your 10W devices?  I am curious to know if these are things that you've already tested.

$5,000 for an unproven, untested device that predicts to have 10% energy losses?
Are you kidding me?  In reality, the losses will probably be higher.  What exactly are you selling here then?  I hope that folks are smart enough to see through this "deal".

Pirate, where did you see mention of 10% losses?  I haven't found any mention of specific losses by Philip.

Copied and pasted from his first post here:

"Sebby devices can generate power by using gas as a fuel and extracting up to 90% of the energy contained therein, ie 3x better economy that an ic engine. "

90% efficient means 10% losses no?

these guys are doing something intensely similar news.stanford.edu/news/2010/august/new-solar-method-080210.html .excessively high efficiencies

Pirate, thanks.  Somehow I read right past that line.  If his machine actually converts 90% of the HHV or even the LHV of a combustion fuel to electricity, then that would be an incredible watershed achievement. 

I am anxious to see what Philip has really done to test his ideas.

Profitis, thanks for the link.  That is very interesting stuff.  The headline is ahead of the actual results.  They say that they have proven that the basic thermionic process works but that they tested with much less than optimal materials.  They express confidence that they will be able to identify more suitable materials that will get them solar radiation to electricity conversion efficiencies of between 30% and 50% in concentrator applications.  They say that they can then reclaim waste heat to get a total of about 60% efficiency.  Those are really good numbers.  The best experimental III-V solar cells would be hard pressed to compete with 50%.

Pirate points to where Philip says that he can get an astonishing 90% efficiency.  If he can really do that, then he puts these guys to shame.

yes @markE..what would be interesting is to find out what effect a strong magnetic field would have on their device or phillips future device at room temperature because then we may have some biasing of equilibrium electrostatic fields.in other words,taking various MIM diodes and shoving a magnet on them and then testing to see if any ambient temperature current occurs due to interference of electrostatic equilibria.

Profitis, I think possible alterations or enhancements should wait to see what Philip has first.

why wait markE? Lets say we take a handful regular MIM diodes of various types and we get say,16 micro-amps constant nonstop in the dark on one of them by putting a magnet over it,it would not only support evidence for phillips quenco but for sebbithenco too.this experiment is best suited to people with access to variety of mim diodes of course.

Profitis, the reason that I want to hold back is to limit the number of unknowns.  I don't know what Philip has tested or how.  It is for example possible that his tests already involve strong magnets.

Let me add that if you have ideas that you want to test with devices of your own, then please go ahead and perform those tests.

im unable to perform such tests markE,no access to variety mim diodes thats why im throwing it here for anybody who does have access to these diodes who might want to experiment and then comment over here.i think its an important experiment to do,much like a one professor Fu of china did a few years back succesfully.in Fu,s experiment there was a massive distance between the electrodes of his diode compared to mim diodes of today and im thinking that that reduced distance may be grossly beneficial for power output.
