Regarding this video from Hob:

Hi Hob,
it seems you have shifted the phase now more than 90 degrees, maybe 120 degrees...How did you exactly connect the bridge rectifier and with what voltage is the battery recharged ? With 100 Hz pulsating rectified 50 Hz waveform ? WHat is its voltage when you disconnect the battery ? It seems the battery voltage pulls up the potential so the phase shift gets bigger and real active power is again flowing..
Regards, Stefan.

This may be a dumb question, but since you have a 120 volt generator and are using very little amps to power your circuit, could you not use a 120 volt to 220 volt transformer on your generator outlet to increase its output volts and conduct the same test on the induction motor that you did with the grid?

Hi Vince,

unfortunately not. A step up transformer will have double the resistance in the 220v voltage coil, so now we have a gain in voltage but the current will be eaten up by the higher resistance.

The way I see it now is, the source must be of the smallest resistance but of high voltage also.

Thanks for sharing

Luc,

In your video #2 where you show the setup with the 5 & 10 Ohm series resistors, I wonder if you've taken the temperature of those resistors? If so, how hot did they get?

Would you be willing to do a DC test on them to verify the power you measured?

Thanks.

Hi poynt99,
regarding your 2 circuit diagrams at:
http://www.overunity.com/14106/reactive-power-reactive-generator-research-from-gotoluc-discussion-thread/dlattach/attach/130974/

if we look both times for to see the consumed power at the load resistor,
we must only invert the  channel 2 scope trace in the lower circuit diagram.
(as there the flowing current is displayed negatively on the scope)

In the upper diagram the channel 2 at the shunt resistor must not be inverted.

Let´s just measure it normal to see it only from the side of the "load resistor",
that is in GotoLuc´s case the LCR circuit,
as it is normally done.

This is less confusing than what you want to measure.
The topic is difficult enough, so we don´t need to be confused with more confusing
measurement methods.
