Akula eternal lantern 4

[TinselKoala]

Akula and his German business partners state they are looking for serious investors.
They provided a contact email in their video. If you sincerely know of some investors
that are interested, and have confirmed that with the investors, then it would seem likely that
Akula and his business partners would be willing to discuss terms with any such investor.

If an investor is really serious, and assuming they could come to some sort of financial agreement,
it wouldn't be hard for the investors to draw up a contract that states that no money will be paid,
(money could possibly be held in escrow), until full testing is done by the investors under their
specified conditions. If Akula and his partners are serious, I think they will already understand that
some sort of formal testing will have to occur before any money exchanges hands, as that would
pretty much be a no brainer requirement for most any investor for this type of device. Any investors interested
can just simply contact Akula and his business partners and set up a meeting. There is no need to speculate
about what Akula and his partners will or will not do, or agree to. 

P.S. You should read through the comments in the video's comment section.
There is a lot of info provided in there.

All the best...

I've read the comments and I don't see a "lot of info" there.  I see a German translation of the information in the Description, which simply repeats the "akula said" claims and refers to the "disassembly" video which did not disassemble the capacitor cans of that device, but only took apart the Red Herring coil.

Also, I see this comment from Shubus:

Free energy, my ass.  This is but a variation on the Joule Ringer circuit. Do not send this man money.

Investors who will contact Akula based on his "demonstrations" of a dozen different "self runners" are already self-selecting for gullibility. We have already seen how Akula gained some financial support by an easily-faked demonstration or two that did not allow proper examination of the device. There is a right, _scientific_ way to go about vetting and seeking investment, and there is another way that depends on faith, promises, and inadequate "demonstrations" which could very easily be faked in a number of different ways. Which way is Akula taking? I think you know the answer to that.

On the face of it, I see nothing to get excited about. Yet another very low powered LED driver with room for a concealed battery.

Not there, that's too easy to find on a casual examination. Taking apart the larger electrolytic capacitor can and inserting three AG13 button cells (or similar) in place of the original guts would be much better and much more difficult to find. A simple latching JouleThief circuit implemented with the visible components on the board would complete the device and make it perform _exactly_ as shown in the video, and will keep the LED bank running for many hours once it's started. Certainly longer than the attention span of anyone he is likely to be showing the device to in person.

Heck, even a simple Supercapacitor would suffice for the short time interval of that video demo.

Let an electrical engineering graduate student approach the board with diagonal cutting pliers in hand, and watch Akula freak out ...

Here's why I don't believe in Akula or his miracle devices:

1. There are too many of them, all seemingly different in construction and operation. This violates "Conservation of Miracles".
2. Each and every one of the demonstrations could be easily faked by any of several different means. No fully bullet-proof demonstration has been presented, even though it would be relatively easy to present one were the claims true.
3. Nobody credible has successfully "replicated" the self-running part of Akula's devices, in spite of the schematics and other information presented.
4. I have reproduced the _exact_ waveforms published by Akula in my replication of the device that has the most credible schematic, etc. yet mine does not "self-run". However it would run quite nicely for hours if I simply replaced the insides of one of the capacitor cans with small button-cell batteries.
5. Akula refuses to send one of the simple, "working" devices to anyone outside his control for examination and testing.
6. There are ready-made excuses for the devices "not working" at some location other than at Akula's home base, like "geographical tuning". Even for devices that have no obvious means for tuning!
7. The pleas for funding and investments, the attempts to "sell licences", when any such _real_ device, credibly vetted, would have investors knocking down his door begging for the opportunity to invest.
8. The devices are constructed of commercial off-the-shelf components, with at most a "special" coil or two. There is no reason to believe that standard circuits using standard components can perform as "self runners" or produce OU performance.
9. There have been no measurements presented, ever since my replication of the exact waveforms referred to above. And in that last presentation of scopehots by Akula, a "mistake" was made that caused his scope to show voltage values of 10x the true values. Was this actually a simple mistake, or was Akula caught deliberately falsifying the measurement? When he gives too much information it becomes too easy to analyze and uncover the misrepresentations.

I can probably think of many more reasons _not_ to believe in Akula. Can anyone give a similar list of reasons that one should believe what he has been presenting?

I don't believe Akula either.  For once I'm 100% in agreement with Tinsel.

Interesting. I personally don't see how belief either way is much of a factor.
All a serious investor needs to do is just contact Akula and his business partners and ask if they would
be willing to arrange a meeting where the investor could have their engineer/technologist personally fully
examine the device, and to completely tear down the device after seeing the demonstration.
That is they can just simply ask if they can fully disassemble the device and cut open electrolytic capacitor
cans and disassemble the coils and cores and any other components they like to make sure there are no
hidden power sources. Either they will agree to those conditions or they won't. There is nothing lost by asking.

Any investor who can afford to invest potentially millions in such a device shouldn't have any problem with
flying a couple people over to Germany to see a demonstration and inspect the device in person. It all
really depends if a person has the means and are seriously interested in investing in this sort of technology, or if they are just
really interested in looking for excuses to condemn something based on speculation. I think Akula and his partners probably
won't have too much problem to at least find some potential investors that are willing to talk to them. Whether
anyone can come to agreeable financial terms with them depends on their conditions and how much money they are
looking for. I would guess that if they are legit, that they are looking for a fair bit of money at this point, as they say
that the device is now quite stable in its current form. They do say they want to do more R&D into the ferrite compositions
used for the cores, so it seems the ferrite composition is important for this type of device. I mentioned it elsewhere,
but anyone who does get a chance to view this device in person should seriously consider bringing a good portable Geiger
counter with them to check for any unusual radiation levels around the running device, if they allow it. It might prove interesting.

All the best...
