Photos attached from February 11, 2008 demonstration given by Thane Heins at the University of Ottawa. I didn't take a lot of photos since everything that was there was the same as in the demonstration videos available online.

Steven,

Thank you for providing the information and images.

If the "o/u" transformer is only 100% effective (or less) then I see no need to continue reaserach on my replica.
Same old story, we are not quite there yet.

@LarryC,

Thank you for the information.

Groundloop.

@argona369 and @abassign,

An saturable reactor uses a DC current to switch a larger AC current.
My replica device uses no DC current to switch the output on or off.

The difference is that my circuit use NO power to do the switching.
So I do NOT agree that my replica circuit is an saturable reactor.

Groundloop.

your right i think,a second look and it is a bit different than a mag amp.
there are different configurations of mag amps but i don't think this is one of them
as all the power transfers through the control winding.
interesting idea to chop the control to stop feedback btw.

LarryC,
If the cores were ground down flat to about half their thickness, not their diameter but the thickness of the ring material, and then joined would that do?

Yes, that is what I trying to indicate, but you stated it clearer.

Thanks, LarryC

Hi Steve,
many thanks for the report and the pictures.
So how many people attended the demo ?

Was Prof Zahn also there ?
What did he say ?

So the claim of an already existing overunity transformer
was just an exxageration of an external blogger ?

So is it just impedance matching or do you still feel that there is more to it ?

Many thanks.

Regards, Stefan.

@gotoluc,

Thank you for providing the information. I will study it and see what to do next.
As I said before, the magnetic coupling effect is real and the switching of
this effect does not require any operator input of power. So if there is a way
to get around the Lentz law with this device then there could be some o/u.

I will study the information and report back on my progress.

Groundloop.

Hi Stefan,

So how many people attended the demo ?

Luc has already answered the first question. Regarding Prof Zahn, as of the demo Thane hadn't heard back from him yet.

So the claim of an already existing overunity transformer
was just an exxageration of an external blogger ?

So is it just impedance matching or do you still feel that there is more to it ?

I have nothing more on this than what was in my report. Though we do now have the more up-to-date schematic that Luc posted. I do remember that when I asked Thane about it he said that the little picture on the blogger's webpage was wrong, another case of the blogger posting too soon. So now we have the right one, a much better design too since the secondaries are entirely on the higher permeability core.

Two other things I forgot to report...
- I did bring a printout of the posts by blindsangar, DMBoss, and others re what they thought it might be with the intent of giving it to him so he could read them on his own, and since I'm not expert enough to convey them in my own words. However, Thane didn't want it since he is using this corporate partners, university contacts, ... for feedback and evaluation. He did volunteer, without my asking, that he had heard about the speculation that it was a hysteresis brake and he said he'd eliminated that possibility. I didn't ask how though.
- In the photos I posted you can see some green wrapped coils facing the wheel on an angle. These were attempts by Thane to put coils on both sides of the wheel. This caused too many cogging problems so he reoriented them so that they would not have any effect.

Incidentally, I did say in my report that the was wheel available at Lee Valley Hardware, a store in Ottawa. I purchased one today in case I want to replicate it some time. If anyone would like one then just send me a private message either through overunity.com's message system or to my email address in my profile. The cost is $30.00 CDN (which is also around $30.00 US) plus shipping. It is just the spoked wheel and does not include the rings that are welded on to hold the magnets.

gotoluc, please provide us the youtube Link to your video.
Thanks in advance...

@dani1 I have not yet uploaded the video's to my youtube account since it takes lots of time and bandwith to upload and I was waiting to see it there is a large enough interest to do so. Also my video is not showing anything diffrent than what you can see in Thane's video's. The only thing is it was done in the presence of 3 members of this forum and with my own video camera.

I will do it if Stefan requests for my video's to be posted or if 2 more members ask for it.

Thank you for your interest

Luc
