COP 20.00 (2000%) Times, Reactive Power Energy Source Generator,

From the scopeshots you can also see, that the timing is 5 milliseconds/DIV and
that one cycle is about 16.6 milliseconds long, which is exactly 60 Hz AC !
So they are just using the normal 60 Hz sine wave from the grid, probably via
a Variac or isolating transformer, so that is why they wrote the label on the scopeshot
as Transformer output.
But they meant the input power from the grid...

Regards, Stefan.

Line frequency was never in question. 

Are we to assume that no change in I or V phase occurs between the actual AC line input and the output of the variac and/or transformer used?  Has anyone stated that this is indeed the case?

Just curious...

ADDED:

I would have thought that the AC line input measurements would have been taken directly at the AC line.  Hooking up the input power analyzer at the AC line would not have given anything away regarding switching.

In a production unit you would not need any isolating transformer or Variac, so
this is no issue....


The Wattmeter and the scope traces don´t lie !
Again look at the left lower red MATH trace.
It shows just reactive power going in ( only 1.1 Watts Active power)

You basically charge up 2 caps in parallel and discharge them in series
to the grid at the right timing.
So you take power and give power back with the right timing.


As you need only around 1 Watts of real input power, it is now easy to build
a 60 Hz sine wave oscillator only needing 1 Watts of input power and
use this to drive this Babcock Murrray circuit and then do a feedback circuit instead of the lamps
and get a selfrunning system.

Hi Stefan,
Thanks

I agree!  It is very likely that the wattmeter and scope are faithfully indicating the waveforms and calculated power as measured at the output of the variac and/or transformer used.

I was just curious as to what those waveforms and power measurements looked like at the actual AC line input.

No problem...

Yes, you've figured it out Stefan!  It's an electronic version
of the Old Ponzi scheme.  An illusion.

All of the power dissipated by the load is in fact coming
from the grid.

This is perhaps why non-sinousoidal loading of the grid is
carefully scrutinized by the power companies.  They are
well aware that it is possible to "electronically" fool their
meters.

Small loads will probably not attract their attention but
big loads certainly would.  Spikes and harmonics on the
power grid are a sure sign to them that something is amiss.

They'll want their pound of flesh as compensation.
