So, are dozens of us busily grabbing the nearest DC motor, a few batteries, and testing this?  ;D As far as theory and construction goes it doesn't get much easier than this.  I don't have any free time for another week, but I challenge all of you to have this tested/proven/disproven/improved before then.

It ain't no TPU or SMOT.  ;) , so just go do it!  :D

Do it for Hans.

I thought I'd check out what people had to say about what I came up with. Those of you who think I'm keeping this secret because I am greedy are so wrong. Yes, I would like to get a patent in place so I can make some money, but once the patent goes through, it becomes public knowledge, and if the patent DOESN'T go through, well, all my notes have been given to a number of people and one of them might accidentally leak it out on the internet. What a shame. This weekend I'm running the tests that a physicist and an electrical engineer advised me to run for proof of concept for my patent. I also want empirical data so I don't keep having doubts in my own mind every time I talk to the people who are a whole lot smarter than me about this stuff and keep causing me to doubt what I have seen with my own eyes as some error in my calculations. By Sunday night I will have all the proof I will ever need, and no oner will ever be able to put a doubt in my mind again. The provisional has already been filed, so I am safe from all of you who want to post your ideas about what I came up with. All I'm looking for is the chance to cut a deal with a major investor and a little head start, and I agree that this info needs to be out there. We have to stop the use of fossil fuels NOW. I truly hope this is the answer, and if my data proves out by Sunday, I will be back here talking about it. Oh, and I know what the "right thing" is....it's making sure I can PROVE what I say so I don't become the laughing stock of the internet.  Have a little faith!

@ DBowling

Hi David, thanks for coming by.

Welcome and congratulations!  I look forward to hearing from you as soon as you are able to join us in full disclosure in order for us to replicate and validate your setup.

Don't be disheartened by the lack of trust and faith from the previous posts, I myself am getting frustrated with many hopeful FE devices disappearing down the annals of the patent office along with their inventors,  I still hope you'll come through in the end :)

With respect,

Paul

Very well said David! I asked for results in a week, and you give hope for it to happen in days  :)

Thank you for your expression of sincerity, and I hope your tests this weekend give you all the empirical data you need to go forward with your plans.

@ DBowling
Before you sell your house, I suggest you do the following experiment. Three 18 AH 12 volt batteries contain over 600 watt-hours of energy (200 watt-hours each) and therefore should light a 100 watt bulb for 6 hours or a 50 watt bulb for 12 hours. If your system is continuously generating power then it should be able to light the 100 watt bulb for 12 hours or a 50 watt bulb for 24 hours. If it can do that, then you can sell your house. Good luck, I hope it works.

I guess maybe that means I won't have all the data I wanted by Sunday night, but I should have some. I will post what I get, and continue to run the test until I have recharged the batteries five times. Since I am charging four with two, it would mean I got 10 times the energy output of the two batteries if I am able to charge them and then run the 100 watt lightbulb for eight hours or so on each charge.  That should be enough proof for anyone, especially if I just keep doing it and keep records of it. I know I will have to get my data independently verified, but I have a sceptical electrical engineer friend who has already talked to me about the second law of thermodynamics and how this couldn't work. I intend to let him duplicate the experiment himself. Looks like I will be spending the night in my shop again tonight and probably tomorrow night as well!

P.S: Did I now prevent him to get a patent by openly explaining it how it works ?

Sorry David...

Now that I have listened to the full interview,
it is clear that it is working this way.

David admitted in the interview, that he did not yet understand it himself, how it works,
so at least he now knows. ;) ;D

So David, what do you think of hartiberlin's comments, is he correct?

Good luck with the testing David - hard empirical facts are hard to dispute, either way - sounds like you're getting together a robust testing strategy.

Dear Mr. Bowling,

I listened to the audio interview, but I still have a question.

If a friend or neighbor came to you with a half discharged 12V battery, could you place that 1 battery ALL BY ITSELF on your Widget & recharge that 1 battery?

If not, what is the minimum number of batteries that you would need to charge that half dead battery?


Thank you in advance for your reply sir.

So what's new David, are you off the grid yet?

How did last night's testing go?

Please give us an update.

@ DBowling
I hope you are not fooling yourself into thinking a battery is charged just because it has a voltage of 12 volts. I have attached a plot for a 17 AH 12 volt battery. Notice that it takes 20 hours to discharge at a rate of almost 1 amp. While it is delivering 0.85 amps to a load, the battery voltage is over 12 volts until the battery is only 25% charged (at 15 hours). If the load was less than 0.85 amps this voltage would be even higher when it was only 25% charged. Also notice that even when only 25% charged, the battery will deliver 0.85 amps for over 5 hours. Thus one fully charged battery can charge 3 other batteries to 25% and the charged batteries will each measure 12 volts and deliver almost an amp of power for over 5 hours. BUT, all that was done was to move charge from one battery to 3 other batteries, no new energy was created.

The guard dog barks at John Galt_USA - keep watching your back Mr. Bowling and two huge thumbs up  :D
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characters_in_Atlas_Shrugged

The enigmatic John Galt is the male hero of Atlas Shrugged, and typifies the Randian hero. By trade, he is an engineer, and has developed a revolutionary new motor powered by ambient static electricity that has the potential to change the world. However, in disgust at the collectivization forced upon him at his workplace at the Twentieth Century Motor Company, he goes on strike, depriving the world of his invaluable invention.
John Galt's name is enshrined in the question "Who is John Galt?" The phrase is used popularly as an expression of helplessness and despair at the sorry state of the world. The answer is expressed in a range of legends: none of which is entirely true, but all of which reflect an aspect of his achievements and labours.

"Those of you who think I'm keeping this secret because I am greedy are so wrong. Yes, I would like to get a patent in place so I can make some money."

Let's hope your patent doesn't become one of the thousands that have been officially classified by the US military.  And let's hope that secrecy in pursuit of fortune and glory doesn't earn you the same fate as that of Mr. Stanley Meyer.
