another small breakthrough on our NERD technology.

[Rosemary Ainslie]

Rosemary,

I see at the beginning of this thread that some tests were performed using three drained batteries and a single MOSFET in only the Q2 position.

I have a few questions regarding those tests.

1.  Do you know what the bulb number was that was used to discharge the batteries?

2.  When you say the batteries were discharged until the bulbs went out, was this completely out as in cup your hands around them or observe in the dark "out" or until they were just too dim to observe in a normally lit room?

3.  Was the somewhere around 10.06 volts figure given the voltage of the batteries with the bulbs still connected or was this the open circuit voltage taken after disconnecting the bulbs?

4.  If the answer to 3 above is the open circuit voltage, was the voltage measured fairly soon after the bulbs were disconnected?

Thanks,
PW

Hello Picowatt
These are not my experiments to comment on.  Unfortunately.  It belongs wholly to my colleagues.  And they're not prepared to engage in a discussion of this on these utterly corrupted forums where the agenda to deny is based on anything but professional or sensible scientific argument.

Regards,
Rosemary

TK,

It got pretty late last night, possibly I misunderstood which schematic is the correct one.  I thought it was decided that the schematic in the first paper is the correct one.

Rosemary, if you would, please let us know which schematic is the correct one, the first (Exp Evidence..) or second paper?

Probe skew, Rosemary. Why do you think the scopes have an adjustment for probe skew?

@PW:
I would be very happy to stipulate that the first schematic is the "correct" one. Then, when she does her "high heat" test with a positive gate drive signal and 6 x 12 volt batteries...  and the mosfet on that cute little heatsink as shown in the video... I want to see the scope traces, one at the very beginning of the test, switch-on time.... and another after, say, ten minutes of operation at 72 volts into 14 Ohms total resistance. You might have missed the as-yet unexplained (by Rosemary) removal of a battery-- to make a 48 volt battery instead of 60 volts-- for the "high heat" portion of the video... which certainly used the first schematic (even though it showed a different one) and a positive gate pulse with clear evidence of good current in the CVR trace. Why was a battery removed for this test? I think I know. I think you might know too.

PW, guys,

I've already stated my interpretation of Rosemary's reply to me, and that is paper 1 has the correct diagram.

Hi Poynty.   It makes not a blind bit of difference as it comes to the same thing.  But the Q2 on the right of the schematic has been corrected and replaced on the left on a corrected paper submitted for review.  This was pointed out by the editor and corrected.  But either way - as TK has shown - it gives precisely the same result.

Thanks Poynty - if you can correct the copy on your published - then do so.  If not - it really doesn't matter.  It doesn't constitute a misrepresentation - but an erroneous transposition - as picowatt explained.

Kindest regards,
Rosie
