Yes Romero, that is the correct schematic for the input side to the Induction motor.

The induction motor circuit is very difficult to tune if you have no prior experience with reactive power tuning. I would recommend people to start with the below test as you use the grid and a plug-in watts meter to first learn and you see results fast since I worked out most of this.

Start with a 25 watt 1k Ohm load on the secondary but no caps for now. Then start with about a 10uf Series cap on the primary and connect it to grid. Reduce or raise (if needed) the cap uf value until your power meter is at about 1 watt.  Then check your voltage on the 1K Ohm load and do the math. You should have more power out than in.

After that test, reduce your load resistor by 100 or 200 Ohms at a time and you will see you can add uf value to your primary and still stay at zero watts in. And If you raise the Ohms resistor your cap will need to be less to maintain zero watts.

You will find the ideal resistor and cap value which give you most watts out for zero watts in and you will find that each MOT is different.

After you get the hang of it try working with the below schematic and know it takes lots of time to tune to ideal levels.

All the best with your experiments and please share your results

I think the attached drawing is closer to what Luc did.

In the video we can see that he is using one MOT for the motor
and one MOT for the generator output. At the mains he has
a "KillaWatt" meter and then a variable mains transformer.
I have omitted this in my drawing.

Luc, can you confirm that your setup is like in my drawing?

Yes, also correct and thank you GL for helping out.

Please note that you can combine caps in parallel to obtain a certain value but like I wrote in my second post, that cap bank is connected in series with the coils.

Luc,

Thank you. Can you think of a circuit drawing for a solid state setup?

I was thinking of using a H-Bridge driven from 12VDC to a circuit that is tuned for reactive
power. Then to a output tuned for the same. Do you think something like this will work?
