Is joule thief circuit gets overunity?

[conradelektro]

I late last year attended with a friend a demonstration of some of the "boards" in California. Itseung888 was online via Skype. None showed any signs of over unity and when the batteries were removed the caps ran down. I was going to order one to test in our lab for the purposes of showing the results on some high end equipment with people who know what they are doing when it comes to measurement. What followed was even more astonishing. We were sent an email where it stated I and my friend were so impressed we were to fly to Asia to form a business relationship. I let my friend deal with that (I am not using his name). I did not bother to proceed with any testing after that.
This may not be of any use to anyone but I felt since you were asking.
PS I love these little circuits and all the fun experimenters have with them, I am even testing a few in our water battery technologies. Bottom line...no over-unity.
Kind Regards

@Mark:

You must have looked many "self declared OU-inventors" into the eyes? What is driving them? (It is obvious what is driving a fraudster, I am interested in the not so straight forward fraudster.)

Is it "craving for recognition"? Is it good old "psychosis" in all its variety? Is it "bipolar disorder"?

@Conrad: congratulations on your sidewalk hobby! You (and Mark D.) might be interested to read the latest manifestation of the psychosis you are looking at, here:

Wow, if I had written these posts (http://www.energy-shiftingparadigms.com/index.php/topic,2313.msg4180.html from a Flower blooming on the tip of Africa) I would self-diagnose as in need of strong medication.

It's the three Sherrys before lunch that does it, I'm afraid.

Lawrence, I have been trying to find out more about your REX Dual Timer.

The REX brand is well-known in the timer and temperature-regulation industry. They make many different timing relay devices and controllers. But I can't find your exact model in any of the on-line literature from them. Similar models are shown but perhaps your Dual Timer is only available in your area.

Can you at least open it up and take a couple of good photographs of both sides of its circuit board, so that we can get an idea of how it is operating, whether it uses relays or mosfets, whether it has a switchmode or transformer-style power supply, etc?

Thanks in advance.
