Energy from the Ground - Self powered generator by Barbosa and Leal

Farmhand:

Cool story, just about the time when Mad Max was all the rage also.

Now to get more serious, about a page back I linked to and copied that report about the guy that did the single-wire-ground-return system and the grounding rod testing.

This guy:

Performance of 4 rods yielded 114 volts to bulb
Performance of 3 rods dropped voltage to 108
Performance of 2 rods dropped voltage to 82
Performance of 1 rod dropped voltage to 47.

I want to highlight a very important point about that story.  The guy generated some good data, some real data.  He gave you a full description of what he did, annotated it with pictures, etc.

Almost everything that has been presented here in terms of experimental data during Clarence's four month residency, and since he has moved over to EF, pales by comparison.  Why can't Clarence generate any decent data?

And the back-story is all about the specifics of the individual components, and you know that drives me crazy.  Let me cite one example.  I am not an expert in transformers and ferrite cores when it comes to the nitty-gritty details about the choices for components.  However, I think I can state this with a fair amount of confidence.  All of the exotic ferrite core formulations are for performance at high and very high frequency (think switching power supplies).  For 60 Hz operation, you have basic laminated iron cores to prevent eddy currents, or you have some kind of non-conductive ferrite core compound to prevent eddy currents.  That's it.  I may not be perfect in my assumptions but I think I am on the right track.  Just use an ordinary core for 60 Hz operation.  That would be the same damn core for 50 Hz operation.  Between BroMiley and others you probably wrote a small-sized book on the size and selection of the core material for the infamous captor.  It's all bullshit.

Almost no discussions at all about how the captor itself may or may not work, and what it actually does.  Almost no discussions at all about how to do experimental tests and measurements on the captor itself, to figure out what makes it tick.  Just a ton of silly discussion on how to build the captor, and mass confusion about how to wire the captor when all that you need are four dots to solve that mystery.

Clarence should take inspiration and try to emulate the SWER testing guy.  Almost all of you should.  You guys are supposed to be talking about building and testing an allegedly over unity machine with the emphasis on the testing.

So that's the prelude posting out of the way.

What should Clarence do?  If we were in the driver's seat and we were in project management, what should we have him do?

For me the answer is very obvious.  He is in North America, he has 120 VAC mains.  All that he needs to do is connect one 100-watt incandescent light bulb to the output and run a one-month test.  I have already mentioned this before.   He can record basic data while he runs the test.  His experience and skill level is low, so just have him record some simple stuff.  The battery voltage, the AC voltage across the light bulb, the date and time, etc.  Take pictures of the setup, and the setup in operation.  Take pictures of the grounding rod array.

Make it very clear to Clarence that he has to emulate the SWER testing guy and present clear, credible, and legitimate data.  None of his bullshit rambling paragraphs where you have to piece together three disparate sentences and try to figure out what he is saying.  He has to make definitive clear statements and present coherent data in tabular form, and so on and so on.  One of his sentences when he was pressed for answers was just ridiculous.  It went something like, "I DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO bla bla ba."  None of that crap.

So, we all figure that Clarence is not in it for the money.  He is ostensibly an "honourable claimant."  Then let him make a claim.

If he can't do something simple like a 100-watt light bulb test, and he is not in it for the money, then what are we supposed to conclude?

MH
EXACTLY
See these days you would never be able to bring a such a wonderful  product like that to market...
safety this and safety that.. heck most of the products I grew up
with would be out lawed today...[I even think their trying to outlaw Bazooka Bubble gum...

SOooo
did you field test it yet ?
does it come with a remote control [I'll press the button for yah... ...]
incase your Chicken..

I triple Dog dare yah

Ha ha...good one Chet.  If I were drinking something while reading this...it would have been all over my keyboard.
I'll bet MH laughed a bit as well.

MH:

He can't do that.  His battery will not even last more than a few days, much less a month.  You can't expect an O.U. device to run for a month without having to recharge the batteries....right?

Oh wait....

@MH: I think your switch is in backwards. Hint: When switch is ON, bulb should be LIT.

Try plugging the cord into one of the outlets, maybe it'll work right then.
