@ ALL,

just  some GOOD news about my B&L replication. I decided awhile back to use the 00 diagram from our site
since it MOST agreed with the patent specs and info and also information from Utopia Now on his Prezi site.
after implementing the 00 diagram in my build I did encounter several problems with the diagram that kept
it from working. after several days of thought and testing I was finally able to get the complete build working!
AND it DOES work JUST like B&L said it would !!!!!

Before I send any photos of it working (I dont and wont have any YOU TUBE videos - not my bag! all I do is photos!)
I have two small issues to tweak on the Ground Grid System. YES I said ground grid SYSTEM! which is the same thing
B&L said and PJK said in his explanation of their device on his site. fortunate for myself I REMEMBERD those words.
I have attached the corrected version of the 00 diagram (BTW many and great THANKS to him- he deserves it for all
of his help and efforts!) as it shows EXACTLY how I constructed that part of the working device.

just brief info of items in the build:

a Tripp Litte P-15 (rectificator) power supply 13.8V
4 ea 7AH 12v F1 batt as a battery bank
an AIMS 1000Wconstant/2000Wsurge inverter ( going to change to 2000W like B&L used)
2 ea 300D Toroid 120V-2A Primary ONLY (winding covers only 160 degrees area of toroid)
2 ea #4 AWG self wound coils on toroid as secondary (joined correctly as CAPTOR loop)
3 ea 1/2 inch copper ground rods
2 ea 50 ft rolls #6AWG ground wire
22 ft #2 AWG (household insulated stranded) for ground wire
50 ft #10 AWG tinned stranded for circuits and batt harness etc.
a few large sheilded terminal strips for circuit connections
4 ea #4 split bolt connectors

I tested so far with a 250 watt - 8.3 amp red heat lamp. plus it operated the rectificator and
the system batt array at a constant 12.4 v plus the Invertor and toroids of the Captor loop.
as long as the batt array was kept in the closed circuit the system DID maintain itself,
however when I switched the battery array out of the system the system did die. so far it is
not a self runner. I believe I know how to cure that, but that will part of my tweaks I will be
making.

cheers to all,
Clarence

By The Way: just click on the jpg shown and you can see a smaller view of the attachment.

I just had to correct the attachment points from the input toriod  to the  output toriod - the
#4 AWG wires cannot cross from one side of the toroid to other side of the next toriod.
sorry for the missdrawing! you can get dizzy just looking!

sorry all!

Hello Clarence!

I have a few questions if you could please answer:

1: do you mean you are running the setup isolated from the power grid, only on batteries?

2: is your system looped - batteries -> inverter -> 2 toroids and ground system -> power supply -> back to batteries?

3: what kind are those batteries VRLA?

4: for how long did you run the setup?

5: did you measure the voltage at the 250Wred heat lamp?

6: how big are your torroids?

7: could you please make a better scheme as I can't figure out where (and how) the load is connected, and the power supply also...

Sorry for so many questions, I just want to get it right (along with all the others on the forum) hopefully you will have the time to answer.
Can't wait for the pictures!

Wish you good luck and happy experimenting!

Hello madddann,

I will answer your questions by your numbers:

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. PowerSonic PS1270 12volt 7Amp hour - sealed lead acid, from E-Bay.
4. 1 hr.
5. Input voltage to the system from the inverter was 116.2 but the voltage back
    from the Ground Grid was lower at 90 + volts which is why my system is down right now
    so I can tweak the input wire size to the Ground System to match the return wire size of #6 AWG.
    I had used a #10 wire size on the input which I believe caused a resistive  difference and caused
    the difference in voltage. I intend to do whatever it takes to overcome the difference.
    However it did not really dim the light as far as I could tell nor the heat - was hot as hell and
    could not be touched.
    also the lower voltage did not affect the operation of the rectificator (power supply) as far as I could tell.
6. the toroids were termed 300D by the supplier. OD = 4 1/2", ID = 2 1/2", H = 1 1/2".
7. When I send the photos after tweaking you can see exactly how the system is wired and you
can easily draw your own schematic -  its very plain to see.

As I said before this system has NOTHING to do with a Commercial Utility Grid at all. It is totally
separate unto itself.

cheers,

Clarence

Hello @ ALL,

before I can send  photos of my replication I need to KNOW how to send the photos on this site
so that they don't show up as the Giant monsters  like in my previous B&L 00 diagram posting.why is the page so wide on this site also?
thanks.

Import your photos into windows paint. Remove any borders and save as a jpeg. Then you can attach these photos and upload them to this site. 
You can also alter the size of the photos in windows paint if necessary.  Try to keep the photos less than 200k.
You can check your new photos in windows photo gallery. If they look OK there then they will be fine on this site.


Good luck.
