Here is groundloop's analysis of the photograph

Feynman,

It is hard to say not knowing the scale but if we assume that each toroid is capable of approx 2KWatt then the size of the torroid is too small. If I compared the torroid size with the mains fuse size(says 125 so I guess 125 Ampere at 230VAC) then I whould estimate the torroid size to be a 200 Watt core. If the torroid cores is made of Ferrite then it is possible for 2KWatt pt. each core.
The wires to the MA125 main fuse switch IS thick enough to support the current needed for a 20KWatt unit. I can see no special support for any graphite or other materials in the center of the torroids. It looks to me that a standard bolt is used to mount the torroids. This consists of a 4 mm x 100 mm bolt with two plates and some rubber insulation at both ends. The coils on the torroids seems to be made by manual winding. Each torroid has four wires connected. Two thick wires and two thin wires. This is consistent with a voltage step up or voltage step down sheme.

Truth Weight table:

For:                                                Against:
Cables is thick enough.                    Cores too small.             
Fuses are big enough                     
There are a circuit on each               Oversized breakers.         
torroid.
                                                      Can't see any graphite rods.
There seems to be a control
board for the unit.                             Looks like a temp. control board.

Part Conclution:

FOR:
If we assume the big thick wires are output from the unit and each torroid is a Ferrite core home made wire wound coil, then each torroid is big enough to support approx. 2KWatt/h of power. If we assume that each circuit on each torroid is synced from a control board (oscillator) then it IS possible to parallel couple the output from all 10 torroid circuits into one main AC bus going via a master fuse breaker designed for > 20KWatt/h to the output.

AGAINST:
The torroids seems to be mounted in a normal fasion by using the two prefabricated metal plates with two rubber insulators and a 5 mm bolt to two metal fastners. I see no evidence for any aditional material in the toroids. If we assume that the torroid cores is laminated Iron the each torroid will support approx. 200 Watt/h. There is NO heatsink (which must be big) for each circuit boards if transistor switching has been used.

Main conclution:
My best guess is that the unit take mains power FROM the mains via the thick cables into the main fuze breaker. Then there is a distrubution of mains to each transformer. Each transformer steps DOWN the mains to a suitable power level for lead acid battery charging. So each pcb has a diode bridge. From the unit there is fuze brakers protecting the unit for over current. The two circuit control board is used to monitor the temprature on two seperate battery banks. In case of over temprature the control board swith off the fuzes.

My best guess is that this is a home made lead acid battery charger for two seperate battery banks. Instead of using ONE big transformer the inventor has used 10 smaller transformers for ease of construction and lower cost.

I guess I should have mentioned honeywell makes the controller board for my oil fired furnace, as well as the air conditioner system and propane fired heater in my parent's home.

They're ubiquitous.

Those could easily be honeywell boards, since the logo looks familiar.

Also, at the bottom of the left hand toroid stack are two black boxes.

These are automotive relays. Decoupled with tiny electrolytic capacitors.

There be DC.

I think Juan is full of crap.

Either that, or he's not full of crap, and put up a photo of something that isn't a nuclear reactor.

He did, however, say that the whole thing provided AC and DC.

I think it's possible that the beta could be converted into a shower of low energy electrons in the core itself.

This is all very confusing to me, but I feel foggy, like someone is trying to deceive me.

I do, however, trust UF - he's not a moron.

He's a bit of a goof (as am I on occasion) but quite intelligent and capable. He also seems honest, but could probably do with a class in lab safety and proper laboratory procedure.

So could the rest of us.

Without Juan, and without his device, we have dick squat for evidence one way or the other.

I do, however, seriously doubt that the photo is of anything like what we're working on.

Thought this was interesting...

These low energy beta particle tracks emanated from a Carbon-14 source (included with chamber) placed at a chamber port located to the right of photograph field. Trajectories were bent by the 1000 Gauss magnetic field produced by our Rare Earth Magnet Assembly. Note the frequent scattering, as well as the increase in curvature and ionization per unit length as each particle is slowed. The maximum particle energy was 156 keV.

@All
@Those that send me some PEM.

I am underwhelmed, sorry! I looked over what was sent me and what was implied and I do not see the currents possible as exampled in some photo's using cheap HK clip leads that are press fit and not even soldered. I do want to help where I can, but I can not commit my time to what seems to be questionable. I am sorry for taking up bandwidth and not offering anything of substance, yet I wish you all well and if in some way my lab can help is specific ways, please let me know.

Hope you all find the answer..............

Thanks Tagor, I am glad you speak French 

but I can not commit my time to what seems to be questionable.

He he he. It seems you can "commit" to megawatt biz only. Well, it's to be expected.

If your lab is so fine you could at least try to discharge (short) a capacitor via a thin wire (different metals, including carbon rod) in controllable conditions ("in the box") and measure released heat energy with a precise calorimeter. This would be really helpful.

I see the picture groundloop analysed a little differently
--There 125A main is correct
--On the left are 16 breakers with red jumper wires and white ones it should be apparent that every 2 toroids are wired in parallel, all of these toroid pairs are then joined in series, 10 toroids total
--Each circuit board on the lower left have caps, resistors, transistors and a small black relay---everything you need for a timing circuit,there is no indication whatsoever as to what it does for a fact.
--There are green circuit boards with hidden components? small white wires to green circuit board could be series control wires from the relay circuit board below, large wires feed breakers, small black wires could power input circuit(mosfet, relay etc).
If you look carefully this circuit has every one of the components needed, every component I would use if I was building this device. There is more going on in this picture, but I don't want to let the cat out of the bag until I know for a fact what is happening.

Consider my contributions to this thread terminated.

Any further research will be conducted on my own.

I find the most "promising" posts to be made by the least "promising" individuals.

My sincere thanks to Dr. Stiffler for having elucidated this fact.

OK, I see.
