PhysicsProf Steven E. Jones circuit shows 8x overunity ?

This patented generator of Nicoli Zaev proves the principle that the discharge always exceeds the input power when tested from a non-linear capacitor:
The non linear capacitor has off set egg shaped condenser plates. The capacitor may produce a magnetic field that's unique to it's particular design. Woopy has several videos of him snapping up a charge in a regular capacitor.

First:  do not confuse power for energy.  Do you mean to say that the output energy exceeds the input energy?  The plots that you show demonstrate faster discharge than charge which is obviously higher power, but for a shorter time.  There isn't anything in those plots that suggests excess energy.

A non-linear capacitor is one where E does not change at a constant rate with Q.  Non-linearity is a property of the dielectric, not the shape of the plates per-se.  Ceramic capacitors using Type III dielectrics are very non-linear, film capacitors that use polyester or even better polypropylene are extremely linear.  In a high voltage capacitor the shape of the plates: particularly the shape near the edges, affects the lowest voltage where the capacitor begins to leak significantly due to dielectric breakdown.

Quote from Zaev:

"It was indicated the direct generation of energy by a nonlinear condenser with capacity C and dC/dV>0, with the efficiency (COP) up to 1.35 due to conversion of the internal thermal energy of the used dielectrics".

Synchro1, it is all fine and well that Zaev asserts those claims.  What matters is what actual evidence he did or did not provide to support them.  Did he measure energy in and out?  How did he go about that if he did?  Did he establish that his method was valid and that his instruments were up to the task?  Ditto for his claim of extracting heat from the the device.

It is all fine and well that someone asserts an extraordinary claim.  Once in a great while some unusual claims turn out to be true.  What matters is the quality of any evidence that supports their claim.  In this case you have posted a circuit simulation by JLN.  Circuit simulators are all built upon an assumption of CoE.  Any OU result from a circuit simulation is therefore an error due to things like finite quantization in time and amplitude.

Positioning these kinds of Crystals where the iron core is in the above schematic, would power a Sterling motor with the temperature differential. A gas filled diaphragm would expand and contract if placed over the Crystals! It should run at around one Hertz. Propane would work very well.


We can eliminate the Mu metal if we simply reverse the current through the switch coils.


A Lever arm from the diaphragm might be enough to spin the crystals in the PM field to heat and cool the diaphragm. Voila, perpetual motion!
