somehow survived pre and post demo edits... I think?  Unless you reposted this?  In any event. We MEASURE a negative wattage - essentially defined as more energy available on the circuit  than was ever MEASURED to be supplied by the battery supply source.  And we make NO categorical claims here.  We mention that this 'APPEARS' to enhance the circuit performance.

Audio in the clip above at 12:17 on:

I'm telling you this absolutely categorically: BPE issued the most comprehensive report and made us do the most stringent tests......

Where is this report? Nobody has ever seen it. What does Chris Hunter say about that, I wonder?

I submit this schematic for discussion.

The Gate of the mosfet is connected to an Earth Ground and the Negative Rail of the main battery supply. Will our Ickle Pickle be able to turn on the 24 volt light bulb by adjusting R1?

TK,

Here is a simplified re-drawn version of your 1st drawing, when the pot is adjusted fully "south" (ON).

I have similar drawings that I made in the distant past when trying to explain this, but I quickly did a new one to augment yours here. With floating supplies it is arbitrary where the earth ground is placed, and not necessary to show for the point I am trying to make. Note the BIAS supply (or FG) is in series with the RUN battery.

Good work on the recent vids.

Thanks, .99. I remember your efforts well.

I've drawn my version the way I did for a good reason, though. If one follows the progression from Part 1 to Part 4, you can see where I'm going, I'm sure. There isn't any place for some kind of "floating source" or magical current path through any mosfet gates in my evolution. (Nor was there in yours either of course.) If one understands parts 1 and 2, and follow lines well enough to compare the schematics I show, then by part 3 one must realize what I am testing and demonstrating, and by the Part 4 with its schematic and its result, surely an avalanche of reason must occur. (The Figure 3 waveforms and settings are shown in Part 4 of course.) Part 5 will of course add the second transistor, for completeness. But even more important than illustrating the features of the circuit, the videos illustrate a scientific approach to experimentation and demonstration that Ainslie should pay attention to. Of course I don't really expect her to, since she avoids watching my videos as if they challenge her very fundamental belief structures in uncomfortable ways.

But it is really hard for me to believe that someone could go through your logical argument, or mine, and fail to understand. Failing understanding, one must simply accept data that is valid and that others understand... I have to do that all the time. But making explanations up out of fantasies and dreams, and then filtering data so that it looks like it supports the fantasy.... that takes a special skill set.

Usually when someone is having trouble grasping some explanation or other, it's because somewhere deep in their "knowledge base" they have some misconception or misunderstanding, a brick that doesn't quite fit in the edifice of knowledge, and it causes a stumbling block, or lack of stability and strength in the courses above it. In Ainslie's case, unfortunately, the root misconceptions that she holds are tightly bound up in her "thesis" and so are not likely to be modifiable. The conceptions of charge, voltage, current that she is operating with are so twisted from the actual physical realities that there is no framework for her to understand, e.g., the idea of relative voltages, or even the idea of a linear operation region of a mosfet "switch".

So why, exactly, were the waveforms captured at the end of Ainslie's public demonstration?

I thought they were captured so that they could be used in discussions that explain what is going on, and I expected to hear explanations and discussions from "both sides" of the issues. It's lucky that there is a record of the public demo, because by now, a week after the event, my memory is starting to fade. Why, by next week it might be hard to recall that screen captures of critical data were even made, much less the circumstances of their making. And in a month..... the whole thing will be long past, won't it, and nobody will care. Just like the spreadsheet data she promised to Stefan and the rest of us two years ago.

In other words.... unless and until those captures are released for review and discussion .... even S.Weir's efforts to get them made were wasted, useless, like fishing for eels with a coarse net.

(I hate to get all Freudian and all, but the words "anal retentive" spring to mind. Ainslie gets attention by holding in, holding back, what she should be producing willingly and in copious amount.)
