Quantum Energy Generator (QEG) Open Sourced (by HopeGirl)

[Rfacts]

Ariovaldo:

Greatly appreciate your efforts and the info that you've openly shared.  No matter the outcome of the QEG you provide many who are naturally curious and inquisitive an opportunity to learn more.  Thank you for posting your findings whether they are disappointing or not.  You're a true experimenter and do fine work.

In return for sharing your data you deserve constructive feedback that may help you to accurately analyze it and gather more.  In case it will help you I'm attaching some audio spectrum screens that I saved of your most recent video titled: Quantum Energy Generator - Ariovaldo Replication > http://youtu.be/cSNNJyvznAc

I noticed that on this YouTube video post you listed the frequency as 195 Hz but listed it as 95 Hz on this thread.  Perhaps a typo on this thread, because if 195 Hz is the frequency on your oscilloscope at the 1:20 minute mark of your video it matches up with the 193 Hz frequency in the attached audio spectrum file named QEG Ariovaldo 1.20MinMark 0.5K LoadOn Oscope.jpg.  I captured that audio spectrum screen as you were zoomed in on your oscilloscope so that this comparison could be made.  The other two attached files show a broader audio spectrum span to show the peak audio frequency at 1067 Hz and the higher order harmonics.

Let me know if there are any other specific audio spectrums of your videos that you would like to see.  It will be very interesting to find out more about the mechanical resonance frequency and the electrical resonance frequency of your QEG and how the changes you make will affect them.  Please confirm if the sinusoidal frequency displayed on your oscilloscope at the 1:20 minute mark of this video is an output frequency of 195 Hz.  I understood that your total primary capacitance was 0.125uF, if possible it would also be good to confirm the following:

1. RPM of the QEG rotor during this video run?
2. Inductance of your primary and secondary coils and the wire size and length used?
3. Any deviations from the QEG User Manual and schematic other than DC motor pulley ratio and the end plate material?

Looking forward to the other tests you have planned, be safe first and foremost.

Muy bien hecho, saludos con mucha gratitude.

Beautiful build, Ariovaldo!

Yes, I concur! And it sounds much better than the QEGers Morocco build. Smoooth.

But I'll bet he doesn't have 0.001 inch clearance between his rotor and stator!

I am not surprised.  What might be a surprise is how much money will have been spent on this and where most of that money ends up.

Allegedly there are around 200 replicator teams out there that intend on doing a full-blown replication by purchasing the 'official' core which apparently costs about $3000 USD.  Some of them must be reading this thread.

For those replicators that are reading this thread, can you please post directly or indirectly what you current costs are?  If you can, please split that into the total parts cost in US dollars and labour costs.  For the labour costs, let's say that you estimate the number of man-hours and you 'charge yourself' $25 US dollars per hour.

Any replicators willing to share this basic data with us?  It would be very interesting and it will show others how much of a financial and time drain this has become.

Even if you did all of this willingly, I am sure that many of us would like to know how much this adventure has cost.

So I gather that most people (including me) believe that Robitaille himself is sincere but misguided. Personally I believe that he is religiously motivated, having had a revelatory dream or vision that told him this device would work and Save The World (tm HypeGirl). I also believe that the woman is a cynical, conscious con artist who is manipulating James and egging him onward on their round-the-world junket.

So what will be the reaction from James as he conducts more and more trials, works harder and harder, but always fails to make that thing run itself? I already detect a certain hang-dog look of depression, and that was in images from a week or more ago. I think James is headed for a big psychological fall.

Of course, now that they are selling their time for 300 dollars an hour plus expenses as consultants to help _others_ get their units up and running.... when they can't get their own units "running"...  they are selling something they don't have (the knowledge to do what they claim to teach) therefore: conscious fraud.

TK:

I am pretty sure that they haven't sold their consulting time to anyone.  The price of $300 an hour is just ridiculous.  That's the price of something like a retired Pentagon general with 40 years of experience. (Two-grand-plus a day???)

I am not sure of this but I don't get the vibe that James Robitaille is a real engineer.  They take an "escape clause" on the consulting web page and call him an "engineering artist" which is a title that nobody ever heard of before.  The vibe I get from him is that of an engineering support technician.  I forget but.... okay I looked it up:

I am a career Electronics Engineer, who has been designing electronic controls for electric motors for 26+ years. I hold 9 patents and am knowledgeable in many different types of electric motor design. My father was a mechanical designer, so I have been immersed in the field of electro-mechanical motion from my youth. A large part of my work has been in designing rugged, efficient and manufacturable motors and electronic controls for consumer and industrial products. You may have seen some news out of the U.S. from Honda Motor Company about a new option available on the 2014 Odyssey Van - the world's first built-in cabin vacuum cleaner system! I am the designer of the electronics and motor controls for this product.

Okay, let me quote some more and then comment in a new posting.

You know when you work for a big enough company sometimes they get a little patent crazy.  It's a boasting feature and also boosts the perceived value of the company's IP if they are on the chopping block.  Companies may even patent their production line test jigs.

The first patent looks like a test jig for monitoring an appliance when you change the motor speed or something like that.  The second patent looks like a production test jig adaptation of a ground fault interrupter (GFI).  The third patent is some kind of wrist strap integrity detector coupled with a GFI.  That one is definitely for the production line.  The fourth patent is very similar, a production line tester to make sure they wired up the three-pronged plug correctly.  The last patent quoted looks something like a wireless monitor to check a hand-held power drill's start-up power-draw profile at the final functional test station to make sure it falls withing an acceptable range.  So if there is a bad bearing or something like that it will be rejected off the line because they sense the abnormal current draw when the fully assembled power drill is powered up for the first time.

Certainly all of the above requires a production test engineer.  However, there is a big but:

Back to the $300/hr consulting page:

Do you need help with your QEG plans? FTW will be offering consulting services to assist with QEG and CICU start ups. James Robitaille, the QEG inventor will be available for technical consulting and Hope Girl will be available for business operations related consulting.

If the guy was really and truly an engineer, and he invented the QEG, then he would never in a million years have signed off on the QEG as working before this whole dog and pony show started.  It's just farking impossible.  No engineer would do this.  I was one and I still work with them and it's just freaking impossible.

With that being said, I can imagine that James was a senior production support technician that contributed his share to the patents, and it's hard to know if he actually developed any IP or if he just found the parts, and built and tested the prototypes, and so on.  The point being it's possible that he never was responsible for signing off on a design.

Don't forget that HopeGirl and James are married.  HopeGirl is always "on."  I envision James as a senior motor technician that's in on the fraud, or he could be an engineer that's in on the fraud.  But when he claims that he is an engineer, and there is a paper trail where they claim that it works, and they clearly have no proof that it works - that just does not jive if you are an engineer.

So I think that HopeGirl is always "on" and that means that she is acting.  However, she doesn't have to act too hard.  James, on the other hand, is acting and he is acting hard and doing a very good job of it.  He comes off as being totally legit as a "cool and good guy" but the kiss of death for that act is the claim he himself makes that it worked months ago.

I know that I am rambling.  Final verdict:  It doesn't add up.  They are both frauds.  HopeGirl has the easy acting job as the non-technical marketing girl, and James has the tough acting job as the cool, laid-back sincere engineer that has done something that no engineer with 20+ years of experience (or even one year of experience) would ever do:  Say something works and then make video clips where he fiddles with a low-tech variac like some hippy in his first Electronics 101 lab - with no proof that it works.

Finally, if the guy does have all of this motor control experience over 26 years, why is he fiddling with a bloody Flintstones variac with a dumb DC motor with no motor speed control at all?  Why doesn't he just spec in a COTS variable-speed servo motor controller + motor with the best bang for your buck to drive the QEG and keep it in resonance under varying loads?  The setup is low-tech just like Bedini almost certainly takes very low tech electronics and hides it all in potting compound!  WTF!!!!???

So TK, I guess we agree with each other!  lol
