I put a light bulb in water and ran some tests !

Can't see why this method Could not be modified to test Wesley's watt usage??

@verpies

Geez, you should change your @usename to @HawkEye or @PeregrineVision. Otherwise, whatever you ever do with your @usename, never change the V for an H. Just jokin around man.

Actually you are very right about the cap. So this morning on my way to the office I stopped off at the EE shop and got a few of the right one. Nice 0.68uF MKP style. I think I will remove the top part of the circuit and re-do it on a breadboard for now until this all works as planned.

Regarding power measurements, maybe we should stop bombarding the WNY group and give them some room to breath. Discussing about power measurements will always be an issue. Once we have one device working ourselves, we will be in a position to do most all of that so for now, let's just get the design working.

@stivep

Last night I sort of had a horrible thought but I think it is important or even the most important thing to take care of right now. What if the Flyback Transformer (FBT) the WNY group is now using burns up or gets an internal short for some reason or another. What happens to the only working device?

Also, since the WNY  group is the only one with a working device right now, it is even more important for them to try other FBTs on their known working unit to see if this can work with others. Technically speaking, about R&D or replication efforts, it would be more logical to have the WNY group test a good number of FBTs on their working system to determine if this can be done with any other flyback, Those that do not work can be identified and at least others would not waste time with them. For every hour you guys can put to this question of other FBTs, you will be saving others 1000s of hours of potentially useless time and effort.

As I had mentioned, I am in a constant state of trying to reconcile all the variables. Now when you look at the diagram @T-1000 made a few weeks ago where he shows the pulse circuit, the flyback transformer and the output stage, we can see that the flyback has no internal diode but that's not all. In the diagram, we see three coils in the FBT, the primary, a multi tap secondary (MTS) and the HV output. He shows that the negative of the HV is going one end of the MTS and the other end of the MTS goes to the center tap of the output bucking coil (OBC). He also shows a capacitor that is tapped into the MTS that is probably acting like an internal energy pump. Now if all these factors are required so the FBT can produce the right type of HV output to the CC, then we are all in deep trouble from the start. This is why it is of the utmost importance to see if the WNY group can successfully get another FBT to work, and hopefully an FBT that is widely available on the markets.

If none of the above is possible, then I have one major question about the FBT they are using.

Question: The negative of the HV is going to the MTS how? Is it hardwired inside the FBT or does it have a separate negative HV pin that they just connected to the MTS. This is very very important know as in order to reconcile all these difference, this is a major point to consider since we will be left with trying to cheat the with the available FBT windings to both create the MTS and the small capacitor across one of its winding sections.

Now I do not mean that because we do not know this, I will cross my arms and wait until we do. Not the least bit will I wait, but I think that if the WNY group needs a priority to accomplish at this stage, it is to find another FBT. Both for our sakes as well as your sake if that only one should blow. Now if this is a good plan, I am sure myself and others would not mind sending a few flybacks to the WNY guys if they have a generic address to send it to. What I mean is I am willing to put up some dollars to help answer this question from their end because at least they have the working set-up to know right away, whereas, with our build, if something does not work, it could be due to the FBT or many other issues. Please think about this.

I cannot understand what all the fuss is about!?
Is Wesley asking you to spend hundreds on equipment? NO
Is he asking you to spend weeks and weeks of your time? NO
Is he asking you to make expensive trips abroad?  NO
Is he asking for hours of theoretical analysis? NO
 
All he is asking is for a couple hours of your time to wind a special coil.
Most of you have your own spark gaps anyway, from Tesla stuff etc.
Just build it, THEN ASK QUESTIONS.
That's what I am doing.
SIMPLE WAY TO PROVE OVERUNITY:
Run the experiment from a 12v  car battery via inverter.
Instead of a lightbulb use a correctly rated diode to pulse charge the battery.
 
1 Measure starting voltage on battery with all equipment OFF!
2 Run experiment for 15 minutes.
3 Wait 5 minutes
4 Measure voltage on battery with all other equipment OFF.
No need for fancy equipment or scopes.
If battery voltage at the end is higher, then you have overunity. Or more appropriately C.O.P. > 1
SIMPLE.
Legal Note: This post is for information only. Do not perform this test unless you have the necessary permits.
I accept no responsibility whatsoever if you choose to do the experiment.
High voltage is dangerous and can kill.
Batteries may explode if pulse charged.
If you perform the experiment it is on the understanding that this information is for educational purposes only.
Do so at your own risk. My advice is DO NOT perform the experiment.
End of legal note.
So all the fancy equipment you need is a multimeter.

good day
Explain what this stuff?
mica, aluminum foil, broken capacitor?
thank you
Добрый день
кто знает
поясните какой это материал ?
слюда, алюминий фольга, разобранный конденсатор ?
спасибо

I changed the circuit, zener in series, uf4007s, irfp260npbs, I re-wound the two primaries with magwire to et more direct contact but i put a plastic transformer material on the core first, my diodes are working ok. I put the capacitor only on the breadboard to add or replace values. Now I go to sleep because it's 3am. Fun tomorrow.
