New Rosemary Ainslie Demonstration Scheduled for Sunday, 4 August 2013

They don't want to disturb the build of the apparatus, that's why they are ordering extra CSRs rather than robbing from the array. I am OK with that.

Last thing we want is to have Rose crying that we made her butcher her precious apparatus and now the mojo is gone.

Regarding your quiz, perhaps you picked that idea up from my video #11 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1ytR1uu8TM)? Anyway, the M2 meter should read very much the same regardless if the SW is open or closed. And M2 should read about 1/2 when you disconnect the Q1-D (and SW is open).

Did I win something?

I know, I  know, I don't want them to disturb their apparatus  needlessly either. It's just too bad they can't seem to follow directions or understand simple explanations. Or Ohm's Law, apparently.

Have we gotten a clear statement of Ainslie's claims, what she -- or rather Donovan Martin -- will be demonstrating, and what data from the demonstration will either support or fail to support her claims? Should we not have such a document, before the demonstration proceeds?

I remember a few days ago she was claiming that the power dissipated at the load will be at least an order of magnitude greater than the total power delivered by the battery and Function Generator.
In her recent posts she seems to be backing down from this position. Did someone finally explain to her what "an order of magnitude" really means?

I really want to see her dissipate 7 watts at the load while only drawing  250 mA from the power supplies.
(7 Watts == I²R, so solving for I, we have I = sqrt(7/R) = sqrt(0.63) == 0.79 A required by "conventional" electronics, so an order of magnitude less from the power source would be 0.7 Watts == I²R, so I = sqrt(0.7/11.11) = sqrt(0.063) == about 250 mA.
(But what is the actual impedance of the Ainslie load at the oscillation frequency of 1.5-2 MHz?)

And where are the scopeshots that SWeir had them make at the previous demonstration? Are these considered irrelevant now that Ainslie has publicly admitted that she was utterly and completely WRONG about her claims referring to that Figure 3 scopeshot? They are not irrelevant to me: the very fact that she has withheld them, instead of publishing them immediately, indicates her further mendacity. We can't discuss data that the claimant refuses to publish! But at least we can see that her former excuse about not wanting to bother Donny... is bogus, since they have been in constant and repeated communication for the past two weeks.

I am ROLLING on the floor laughing. Ainslie is now claiming even more strongly that the battery is completely disconnected during the Q2 oscillations.

Effectively the circuit exploits that voltage imbalance albeit that it does not NEED the current discharge from that battery supply source.  INDEED.  We argue that it cannot discharge current.  IT'S DISCONNECTED.

This is so easy to disprove it is laughable. Simply establish a 100 percent Q2 oscillation with no Q1 on time at all, or use Ainslie's "Figure 3" fantasy but assure that there is in fact NO current showing on the scope during Q1 Gate HI times by using less than 3.6 volts (4 volts is too much, it does turn on Q1 partially). Then stand back and let the device run.

DO THE BATTERIES RUN DOWN? Of course they do. But according to Ainslie, they are DISCONNECTED. So how can they possibly run down?

In fact it is not only completely deluded of her to make this claim, it is an insult to the intelligence of anyone reading her nonsense. If the battery is completely disconnected as she pretends.... then why does the behaviour of the circuit change when you unhook the cable to the Positive battery terminal? It's already DISCONNECTED according to Ainslie, so how can disconnecting it again, or more, possibly have any effect on anything?


On anything except her silly "thesis" and claims, of course.

It will all be resolved this weekend (hopefully), assuming the testing actually goes ahead, and it doesn't get botched in any way.
