PhysicsProf Steven E. Jones circuit shows 8x overunity ?

Use whatever conventional oscillator you want but compare.
it is equivalent energy, light output. The current limiting resistor is used on both so having same current
It will show if the Jones oscillator gives more light for a given V and I then conventional oscillator circuit
such as a hartley, colpitts, clapp, blocking  ect. It should not take 70 pages.

Even with the resistor inline, how can you compare brightness between an led that is driven with dc or a pulse/AC/on and off   on and off for periods of time?
Will the light meter being used average out when the led is lit and not lit during the pulse/AC cycle?

So I would say that if the pulsed/oscillated led is reading the same brightness, then I would also say that there is more energy sent through the pulsed led than the continuous dc led, to achieve the same brightness levels.

Either way, if using the current resistors, measuring the resistor for power out would be the best bet.

Agreed, Mags.  And I like to see more than one method used to measure power out, as a check.

Dear Professor,

I apologise for imposing on your thread.  Please address my post on my thread so that we can finalise the question related to our qualification for your prize.  Or do you not know how to evaluate our paper?  Mags has proposed a test that may answer your concerns. 

Kindest regards
Rosemary
