Hi Norman,

I agree with you that getting 3W output without increasing the input draw is a big achievement but if the input power draw is a continuous 9W, then according to accepted rules it is not OU. 
Yes, the diverted backemf is a big deal, this is where the ball is to be carried and played with further on...

Thane has a unique and individual interpretation of defining his achievement, he surely has every right to define it as he wishes,  maybe you have noticed his long post just today here:

Re on the induction cooker: if I got it correctly, Naudin measured about 1733W input and about 1596W output power as his latest tests showed:  http://jnaudin.free.fr/gegene/gegene22en.htm  This is his input power to the cooker from the link: http://jnaudin.free.fr/gegene/images/heaterPwdInp.jpg  and this is his output: http://jnaudin.free.fr/gegene/images/GegeneT18Res.jpg

Thane Heins remembers me to Don Smith in some of his theories.
It should be a way to use electricity in transformers to get a lot of energy in the output.
I think reactive power can be amplified several times without affecting the power factor of the source.
If the power factor of the source is 0 then the current and the voltage are 90º out of phase and no watts are consumed, just virtual power.

I've also check a way to extract electrical power from a transformer while don't changing the power factor.
