Longitudinal Wave Experiment to demonstrate Overunity

[MarkE]

I am fairly ambivalent on power polarity convention as long as it is stated.  I don't want someone noticing that the reported power is negative concluding that the light bulbs are generating power.

I went back and looked at where magpwr had hooked up a Watt meter to the input and got zero reading.  The connections look OK.  If you would hook up a Watt meter at the input and remove the 10,000 uF capacitor the WM should read close to the 5.6W found with the capacitor installed.

I don't have time nor the inclination to do a manual measurement. I do trust the wattmeter, and it's in the ballpark of what I estimated.  It's also nowhere near 98W.

Regarding the power polarity, I know it is negative, but for me it is more important to have the drawing clean and clear to understand, especially for magpwr; his earlier attempt failed to produce any output on the wattmeter at all. It's the magnitude that is important in this case.

hi Poynt99,

There is a another simple approach for you in using the watt meter at the source without the 10,000uf or 20,000uf capacitor in place to nicely measure spike.

If the watt meter shows around 5.6watt i would believe you.

Here is with a 1 Ohm load.

Wattmeter and voltage meter (rms) correspond exactly.

I'll do the input power with the bulbs a little later on.

Here you go boys, read it and weep.

As I said, the wattmeter is correct. You need to add some internal resistance (R19) to the DC source, otherwise the power factor goes to zero, and then the displayed power goes to zero (it starts out indicating power as it is averaging, then it suddenly goes to 0W).

So, we have 5.57W Pin, and 2.24W Pout.
