Reactive power - Reactive Generator research from GotoLuc - discussion thread

Crikey, that was like pulling hen's teeth... State secrets revealed at last eh, Luc...

LOL ...I'm glad your having fun with this!

It's been educational, and better than TV...

I've been working on tank-circuits - for induction heating - which as you know contain 100% reactive power - with current & voltage 90 degrees out of phase.

If your circuit does indeed return more reactive power than it consumes - then would it not be possible to run it from a tank circuit?

You could use a ZVS driver, and a DC power source to give the initial power to the tank, and get it resonating.

If the circuit genuinely returns more than it consumes - then the circuit will power the tank with the returned reactive power - and you can disconnect the power supply...

I think a ZVS driver is not much different then an Inverter. Both are unable to use returned power.

These circuits were the first thing I tried back more than 2 years ago when I first shared this effect. As soon as I hooked it up to a pure sine wave inverter and it pulled watts I thought it didn't work and dropped it for 2 years. It's only 4 months ago when I decided to give it more tests and built the alternator that I understood what I had missed.

It's different from an inverter, but I think you should be able to drive a tank with an inverter and use it in your circuit too, in a similar way, and this is why:

- A tank-circuit is basically a container of reactive power.

- If you take real power out of the tank, it causes more real power to be drawn from the power supply to support the oscillation, and this is power-transfer in action, and clear to see (and hear - in my coils)...

- If your circuit creates reactive power - then instead of causing a drag on the tank - it should increase it's amplitude. The power supply should read less as the impedance increases...

- If your circuit uses real power - that will be shown too.

To use reactive power as real power - is logically and electrically equivalent to using a tank-circuit as the power source - but instead of it being diminished - it is reinforced by the load...

Unless you can run the circuit from a tank-circuit - without it causing a power draw - then I don't understand what it is you think the circuit offers...? If it's not OU - then what exactly is it all about?
