Rosemary Ainslie Quantum Magazine Circuit COP > 17 Claims

[TinselKoala]

Ainslie has never engaged in the kind of back-and-forth discussion involving actual points, evidence pro and con. She simply asserts. The notable exceptions being the past two demonstrations, where the Ainslie team was (just barely) responsive to suggestions that they perform particular manipulations of the apparatus and instrumentation. And we know what happened then!

Meanwhile, since she is emitting another of her trademark Blue Rants, shouting her false claims and ridiculous assertions once again, I thought I might provide a slight gloss for my playlist.

#1 Shows how the mosfet can be biased ON by applying a negative voltage to the _Source_ pin while the Gate remains at zero voltage. Also illustrates linear operation: the mosfet behaves perfectly normally, just as it should, even though the Gate is pinned to the negative rail and grounded.

#2 Shows how the Function Generator exactly replaces the biasing battery in the simple circuit. Note that the _Source_ pin of the mosfet is COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED PHYSICALLY from everything except the Function Generator and the scope probe. This is the condition Ainslie refers to as "floating". She believes that there is no current path in this condition so it is impossible, in her mind, for the load to be receiving power from the battery. However.... we know, and this video shows UNEQUIVOCALLY, that the FG completes the current path for the main circuit and the load is energized completely normally, just as before, when the _Source_ of the mosfet is lowered to at least 4 volts _below_ the zero voltage level at the negative pole of the battery.

#3 Demonstrates the previous but using the IRFPG50 mosfet with longer wires and some additional inductance in the battery supply jumpers. Then I demonstrate the effects of the FG's Amplitude and Offset knobs on scope traces and circuit behaviour. The result may surprise you... Depending on the settings of the two knobs, scope traces that appear identical can produce different or even _exactly opposite_ circuit behaviour. This is one reason why the open-circuit voltages that the FG is producing, must be known for any particular data point, if the circuit's settings are to be replicated. This information is totally  missing in all of Ainslie's reportage. Nobody has any idea how Ainslie's FG was set, since the Amplitude and Offset settings interact and she never measured the open-circuit voltages. At the end of the video a little low-amplitude parasitic oscillation can be seen on the traces.

#4 Here I remove the non-linear light bulb load and put in a 10 ohm wirewound resistive load, along with a Current Viewing Resistor. Now we have the Q2 portion of the Ainslie circuit complete. Note that around 4:00 in the video I reproduce the Figure 3 scopeshot's essential features: Substantial gate drive at or near 12 volts, with no current in the "Q1 ON" portions (since there is no Q1!) and plentiful high amplitude oscillations in the Q1 OFF portions of the duty cycle. All the while, the _Source_ of the mosfet is "floating" according to Ainslie: the only current path to complete the circuit is through the Function Generator. The Function Generator is acting like a battery in series with the negative side of the main battery. Further, I demonstrate determining the frequency of the oscillation, quickly and easily, using the analog scope, and I demonstrate yet again that the common English word "Per" indicates a mathematical division operation.

#4a&b Here I once again remove the FG and substitute a battery and a light bulb in series. (In all these demonstrations the Source of the mosfet is "floating" according to Ainslie, since it is disconnected from everything except the Function Generator.) This arrangement produces constant "Q2" oscillations, and the fact that the light bulb glows, proves unequivocally that current flows in this part of the circuit. The relationship to Ainslie's circuit should be abundantly clear since I use portions of the "standard" Ainslie schematic to show the exact arrangement I am using. Again, at around 3:45 I demonstrate the Figure 3 critical features... easy to do, since there is no Q1 to turn on, it is possible to get the full +12 volts Gate drive without allowing any current to flow. The edges of the oscillation bursts are examined at high resolution on the scope to show that they appear just exactly like the scope traces that Ainslie has provided at similar resolution. Then I once again show the FG removed and the bias battery inserted instead, with a bulb showing current flow.

#4c Here I demonstrate that the circuit, when oscillating, radiates significant power in the RF, contrary to Ainslie's claim. This radiation can interfere with the proper operation of sensitive equipment like digital thermometers. At the end of the video I switch the FG to produce a triangle ramp waveform to drive the mosfet... and we see scope traces very like some of the "weird" ones Ainslie didn't put in the daft manuscripts, but which can be viewed in the archive.

#5 Finally in this part I reassemble the complete circuit (but with a single Q2 instead of 4.) The current flows in the entire circuit are illustrated using DMMs and the oscilloscope. Now, with an operating Q1 in place and the instruments correctly connected, it is no longer possible to obtain something that looks like Figure 3: the current rises in Q1 as the gate voltage increases past +4 volts during the Q1 ON portions of the cycle.



Do I expect Ainslie to watch, think about, and discuss these videos coherently, considering the points they make and their implications for her claims and her "thesis"? Of course I do not. I present them merely to show, once again, just how comprehensively and thoroughly she has been refuted in her claims, and how ridiculous her protestations and her misrepresentations of my work are.

TinselKoala those are all great and pertinent demonstrations.  If there is anything that could be added, it would be a video that reproduces Figure 3 by connecting the current sense channel oscilloscope tip to the battery negative side of the current sense resistor as was done late in the June 29 video.  Another principle that could be demonstrated is AC current passing from the drain through the gate of a power MOSFET, since that occurs through both Q1 and Q2 during the Q2 oscillations.

I have second thoughts about this suggestion, because he might kill me for making it, but I will put it out there anyway:  Someone could ask Steve Weir to offer his assessment of Ms. Ainslie's current claims versus what he saw during the demonstrations.

Thank you... we aim to please.

Actually the two capacitor videos, from July 4 2012,  are probably a prerequisite:

Didn't you mean MOSFETS?  I am sure this was just an oversight on your part....ha ha.  I'm sorry, I could not help myself.  Yet something else Rose was attempting to redefine.

Hi Mark,

I just wanted to say we are grateful to have your presence here and a belated welcome.  I burnt out on the Ainslie drama a long time ago but I was once a protagonist (antagonist?)  It's an exercise in spinning wheels in mud from my perspective.

Anyway I hope that you have some fun around here.  Beware of compressed magnetic potential energy balls, wear goggles!
