Reactive power - Reactive Generator research from GotoLuc - discussion thread

[Hoppy]

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.

Luc,

According to your WM, you are dissipating 163W in your prime mover against only 31W dissipation in load, giving a system efficiency of 19% for that particular loading. Can you increase your loading and produce a loading curve to see how this curve compares to input power over a wide range of loadings?

If you look carefully you can see a slight amplitude increase on channel 2 voltage across the 0.1R shunt resistor.

I would agree with TinMan if we wanted to know the "Polarity" of the components. Was that your question poynt?   and wrote Voltage instead?

No, I craft my questions carefully. and hope to have them answered as asked. So your first answer is not an answer to my question.

What I am asking, is if someone sat you down in front of this circuit, handed you the DVM and said please measure and write down each VOLTAGE that is across each of the 4 components before you. Don't think tooooooo much about it, just do it as I'm asking. Keep in mind that we ALL know that a DVM does not care what polarity it is measuring, as it will not damage the meter if the leads are "backwards". With that in mind, and per the original question, how would you go about placing the meter probes across each component?

btw, this is not a trick question.

This is how I would do it;

As I grabbed the meter leads, whichever lead ended up in my left hand would be the lead that would measure the left side of each of the 4 components, and the other lead in my right hand would measure the right side of each of the 4 components, as I moved from left to right to measure across each component.

How would you do it?

Yes, I agree!   if only voltage was needed to be known good chances I would do it like you say.
