It appears I have a different perspective than at least some of you guys on this.

I think that the energy
source may at least possibly be the surrounding 'ambient environment' as Kapanadze has said,
meaning not specifically drawing the extra energy from the ground in some sort of classical way (not a
classical electrical energy 'receiver'). What the exact mysterious energy source might be is anyone's guess however.
My view about this possibility is based on some observations of these type of setups, but also based on some
things I have observed in my experiments in the last two to three years as well.
I have mentioned that I have been experimenting on a setup that is not related to Kapanadze setups or similar,
and up till now I have not seen anything in my tests that would really suggest 'OU', but in the last few days
I tried a new variation, and with some new adjustments last night I see something that I will say is 'potentially interesting'.
I have been at this type of experimenting for quite a few years so I don't jump to any conclusions at all when
I see something in my testing that is showing something potentially interesting, but my latest test setup
is at least showing some *possible* potential.

It is only very low power right now and I will need to investigate a lot
further to see if I can scale this 'effect' up with the eventual goal of trying to make the setup self-looped. The power
output is just too low right now to try to self loop it.
Basically I am testing with a 12V 5AH SLA battery and only powering a very small load that measures total
battery power draw of about 19mW (I know a very tiny load for 5AH battery

), but the voltage on the battery
has not dropped below 13.20V for about 12 hours of continuous running so far. I have been using this type
of SLA battery in my testing for several years and I know those batteries will normally quite quickly fall
below 12.9V even when powering such a small load, even with some energy feedback to the battery.
My current test setup has feedback back to the battery as well, but it is holding (so far) at 13.20V. I know
what specific changes I made to get this new type of result. It is way too early to say if my latest test setup is
really drawing in some 'extra energy' or not however, (and as we all know, chances are it isn't), but the results so
far are at least interesting.
The setup does not rely on any earth ground to work. I am making no assumptions here about OU whatsoever
as it is way too early to try to draw any conclusions, (I know better than that

), but the reason I am mentioning
all this is this setup is testing a specific type of approach to try to draw in extra energy into the system, and
it has nothing to do with drawing in extra energy from the ground. If by some small chance it really is drawing
in extra energy from outside my test setup, then it is not coming from the ground. It would have to
be coming from the 'ambient', whatever that might be.
Question for Hoppy or anyone else with an electronics background or experience with opto isolators: I am using opto isolated Mosfets (opto isolators driving the gates) to try to avoid any potential coupling
of energy from the Mosfet driving circuitry (energy coupling from the gate drivers to the drain/source).
In your experience/estimation, could any energy still couple from the gate drivers to the Mosfet
drain/source if I am using opto isolators to drive the gates of the Mosfets I am using? One possible source for
extra energy in my test setup might of course be the gate drivers if the opto isolators can still capacitively
couple energy from the driver circuitry through the opto isolators to the drain/source side of the Mosfets.
However, if energy could be coupled through an opto isolator that way, it would kind of defeat the
purpose of an opto isolator completely isolating the gate driving circuitry from the transistor itself, no?
The operating frequency for the mosfets in my test is below 100 Hz, so any coupling due to capacitance from the
gate driving circuitry to the mosfets should be small anyway at below 100 Hz, I would think anyway.
Any feedback on this from anyone with experience with opto isolators will be appreciated.
