Simple to build isolation transformer that consumes less power than it gives out

Penno,
Wattsup and itsu are invaluable replicators and it is just stupid to assume they are after money..

Hi T,

You misunderstand.

Here, Australia, when someone is totally correct, our expression used is, they are ON THE MONEY.

Sorry, I should resist from using slang.

Btw Jack, thanks for helping to try and get this going with MOTs.


I have also at my disposal, several 240v - 9v (.5A) and 15v (1.1A) identical transformers that I could
pull apart is you feel they maybe usefull.

Let me know, Penno

As requested -

Changed bulb to 40w - as expected, begins to glow at lower voltage (I am using a 240 Variac for testing)

Wattmeter pre variac - 240v 0.07A and 10.2W

Inline digital ampmeter shows (in place of safety bulb) - .06 to .07A AC of course.

Begining to feel Wattsup was on the money. Maybe the coils 170ohms is to high for this exercise.

Let me know what you think. Thanks, Penno.

0.07 A is 70 mA which is enough to light up 40 watt bulb almost to half brightness. This means the coils are now 'leaking', is this 70 mA now measured with two coils ? My fat nano used less than one watt when two coils were connected. How does this compare to your system when you have two coils without load ?

Did you test what is the idle power in L-coil-amp meter-N circuit without variac ? Coil in my iron trafo has 165 ohms of resistance so it is close to yours. I dont have variac so we cannot compare. I used watt meter in the wall and when I put load watt meter did not see it.

How does one rectify DC and get a sine wave, anyway? Curious Koalas want to know.

I was talking about rectified sine wave, meaning if the negative cycle is folded back to positive at output in the circuit. So output waveform looks like sine wave pulses, when frequency is high enough then it 'looks' like DC in scope if you look at it 'far' enough'.

I want to remoind you again that high impedance is what is needed for this to work, idle power when using just one coil should be as low as possible, below 0.01 A. Only then you can squeeze power out.

Anyway, it is good to find out why MOTs don't seem to work at grid frequency. They would be usefull at higher frequency but I know it is difficult to get variable frequency AC source that has some power behind it. Fixed high frequency drive would work too, but then you have to experiment with wire lengths which is time consuming. Seems that MOTs require tuning caps, but first L of one coil needs to be measured accurately with a meter that measures L at the frequency coil is going to be used. This could be a difficult problem, or you can try if you are lucky as I was:

I know what you are thinking, have I spent 600 hours on the bench searching for FE or only 500 ? This could be the most powerfull free energy device in the world that could blow the competition CLEAN off. So the question you are going to have to ask yourself, "Do I feel lucky ?"

In case you did not recognize it, that was from the first Dirty Harry movie with some minor adaptation to current situation lol.
