Finally! Independent Testing Of Rossi's E-Cat Cold Fusion Device. Success?

[TinselKoala]

@tk..does the altoid circuit keep the led flashing longer than if you just hooked the cap to the led?

That depends on how you "hook up" the LED: the cap is charged to 5 or 5.5 volts initially so some kind of dropping circuitry would have to be used... but yes. But allow me to rephrase your question slightly. "Does the altoid circuit put out the same total light energy as a direct hookup of the LED to the capacitor would?" And the answer to that is "no, it puts out less", because some power is dissipated in the circuit elements.

you managed to charge external bats with the orbette circuit? You mean you managed to power with one bat and charge another?

Yes. I've removed most of my Orbette videos from YT, but here's one that is still up:

It's not hard to do. Here's the same sort of thing with the Ainslie "Quantum" circuit:

tell me something,ive got a question related to overunity but offtopic:is it possible to partialy bias/rectify a.c. current(equal magnitude both directions) into one direction using just a magnet?do you know?perhaps tilting the magnet at certain angle over a coil?

I don't know. Probably it is, with the right coil and frequency combination. I don't know if you can get full rectification, but it should be possible to use a magnet to bias a coil core, so that current in one direction encounters a different total impedance value than current in the other direction would.
Some of the coils that I pull out of CRT-based TV chassis do have biasing magnets attached to them; I don't know why exactly but maybe some directional effect is the reason. I do know that these coils work especially well in JouleThief circuits, with the addition of a "primary" wrapped around the outside of them.
Also, for high currents, Tesla used magnets in various places around spark gaps and even actually built into the electrodes of spark gaps. This produced more rapid quenching, probably due to half-wave rectification and cut-off of the currents thru the gap. I think.

Tell me if I am wrong, but here is why I'm NOT excited over this.

The best Cold Fusion device still has to BOIL WATER TO MAKE steam.
Then the STEAM has to drive a High Speed TURBINE.
Then the Spinning Turbine Shaft has to drive a GENERATOR (with a Gear Reduction TRANSMISSION) to make Electricity.

It seems A LOT BETTER if we can find a device that makes electricity DIRECTLY, WITHOUT Boiling Water, Steam, Turbine, Transmission, and Generator.

thanks tk,the reason why i ask is because im wondering if the dark current/noise rectification(without power source) on a wire with a biasing magnetic field passing thru it might be larger than the dark current of a typical diode.as you know the dark currents of typical pn diodes are tiny(fractions of a microamp).

Hi Profitis,
here is a bone or two for you to play with.
1. Take a high spin nuclear material (the type they use from Scanners) and place it in a magnetic field.
Then place a piezoelectric material onto that. What will happen?
It will run for ever but it is not free energy.
2. Take two material and using a deposition method place them on say a silicon wafer so they form small over lapping links (size of a match head.  If you choose the right materials they will act as micro thermocouples and put out power in an ambient environment? Why ?
3. I am two generous with the clues above.....so this one is a challenge...how can you manufacture an electret put out a decent amount of power?


I hope these all serve as a brain teaser for you
Kind Regards

Americium?

I have read of others using this for energy generation.  It was obtained from smoke detectors.
