My fault, I apologize. Apparently one cannot link directly to the .pdf stored on Rossi's server.

Please try these links to Rossi's JNP pages which host the files, then select "read the whole article" or "download the ZIP file" .

Here is a side by side comparison of the three circuits:

Thanks for doing that, it makes the differences very clear.

When the "Q-array" circuit made its debut, they claimed that it had all 5 mosfets in parallel, and the schematic presented (in the famous First Demonstration video, which Ainslie claimed "she did not post") was the one below.

The accompanying narration by Donovan Martin tells us that there are "5 mosfets in parallel" while he gestures to this diagram and to the circuit on the white breadboard.

Note that the Black or " - " FG lead isn't even shown. However, the video itself is clear enough so that one may see that the Black FG lead is connected in the usual place: at the common battery negative, rather than on the transistor side of the CSR as it should be.

People tried to replicate Ainslie's reported results using this schematic for about a month, before Poynt99 analyzed the video and determined the "Q-array" Q2 antiparallel configuration was _in fact_ what was used, contrary to Ainslie's deliberate deception. Yes.... deliberate deception, not a mistake, according to Ainslie herself. She even expressed her regret... not that she deceived us, but that Poynt99 caught her out so soon !!! She actually wanted to continue the deception longer.

It's because of things like these that one simply cannot trust reports of _anything_ from Ainslie. Only raw data and perhaps photographs can be trusted.

TinselKoala, OK here are all four circuits on one drawing:

[TinselKoala]

And of course the verbal "five mosfets in parallel" could be drawn as well (please don't bother) .... it is significantly different from just a single mosfet in that the aggregate ON state resistance is 1/5 of the single mosfet's 2 ohms value, hence as you point out the load heating will be more efficient in the ON state, with significantly less power wasted in heating the mosfets.

So that makes 5 significantly different circuits Ainslie has presented, purporting to describe the same experiment. The fully correct circuit was not used until August 10-11, 2013; the circuits in the two daft manuscripts were _never_ used, and the 2011 demo's single mosfet and 5 parallel mosfet circuits were simply lies.

Circuit D. has an annotation that the narration describes Q1 as five MOSFETs in parallel.  Since that drawing is one they presented, I did not want to alter it.
