Exploring the Inductive Resistor Heater

[lancaIV]

Do what you want with your circuit Gmeast but there is a salient point that I am not sure you are getting:  No matter what kind of heater circuit you are building, when you look at it from the battery terminals onward, it will be a 100% efficient heater.  You can change the design, change your operating frequency or do whatever you fancy, you will always get a design that is 100% efficient in producing heat.  You may as well as buy a big ceramic resistor, some heat sink compound, and a heat sink.  Connect your battery to that, no switching or MOSFET required, and you will have a 100% efficient heater.

Probably you are right cause this is the common view and knowledge !
Probably not :

its funny how steorn is now fully concentrating on such heaters.@gmeast dont listen to milehigh,there is a gap in the thermodynamic cycles here for intake of ambient heat.just gotta polish it up..

Hi profitis,


WOW ... thanks, yes there is a breach of 'something' for sure. And yes ... it is interesting that Steorn is looking to a product of excessive and anomalous heat production. Something 'rings right' about this approach to COP>1 performance. Even I have a problem with Electrical Energy 'IN' to COP>1 Electrical Energy 'OUT' but not COP>1 Heat Energy 'OUT'.


Regards,


Greg

P.S.
I'm re-posting the link to my Video Slide Show which shows how I determined COP>1.25:

nice @gmeast. I just want to point out that if anyone is lucky enough to get their inductor circuits tailored just right to tap into that narrow thermodynamic gap that any ambient heat inflow is going to happen in the inductor core rod itself and the energy be spat out on the current in the resistor load coil or lightbulb or whatever it is that one uses to perform work,ontop of the battery source reciprical current of course(inductive piggyback riding).

Are you referring to Steorn's "HephaHeat" technology?
