Mark:

To answer your question, no, there is no anomaly or anything worth investigating here.  I have always found it strange in this case how some people will speculate how this setup might make for a more "efficient" heater.  Arguably, all heaters are 100% efficient.  It's somewhat similar to all of the pulse motor builders talking about how their setups are "efficient" when their devices are 0% efficient because they just spin and don't do anything useful.

What this really became was a test of principle.  Should claims of over unity or getting more energy out of your batteries or "COP infinity" be accepted just because someone says so and and believes that they have valid data to back up their claim?

As we have clearly seen from this example, the principle of properly vetting claims is of utmost importance for the entire community.

P.S.:  I think of the claims made by that group in South America that Sterling is so enamoured with that sells the equivalent of a $19.95 Walmart fan for $250.  In my opinion everything about that story is so wrong.  Sterling believes that they are making efficient fans and there is a new version being worked on that "might demonstrate over unity" or something like that.  What a croc that whole story is, the whole deal and its quasi cult-like aspects give me the heebie-jeebies.  That's another example of a case where the claims should be properly vetted.

@markdansie..a circuit has to violate the 2lot to be  overunity.it has no choice but to violate 2lot to get overunity.there is no vehicle in this circuit for this to happen,no ferrite or iron core inductor,its lights-out for this particular circuit in my opinion.

Not to mention that you are confusing the changes in temperature in a ferrite or iron core in an inductor as a possible second law of thermodynamics violation when in fact what they are is a demonstration of the law of conservation of energy.  Where you think there might be a vehicle there is none.

@milehigh... the law of conservation of energy? Why do you confuse this law with the 2nd law.did i say anything about the law of conservation of energy.who is confused now mr mileyourhighness.

You are the one that's confused.  Did I say you said anything about the law of conservation of energy?  Please go back and look a my posting.

A core inside a coil will heat up if there is AC current flowing through the coil.  That's because of the hysteresis loop associated with the BH curve for the core material.  That's a manifestation of the conservation of energy.

If I recall correctly from a good read a long time ago, a core can also cool down under certain conditions.  When large magnetic domains spontaneously break down into a random set of domains, small amounts of thermal energy are drawn from the mass of the core to flip the domains as they randomize.  That's another manifestation of the conservation of energy.

All that you have to do is some searching and you will find the information for the mechanism for magnetic core material to "self cool."  I am under the impression that that's what you are talking about.

To repeat for the sake of completeness:  You are alleging that a coil with some kind of core material can act as a transformer transforming external thermal energy into electrical output energy and that simply is not true.
