Gerard Morin cold electricity and Overunity

Doesn't anyone know what those two transformers are!!!!


They are autotransformers (balun), they have one coil only (primary and secondary in one). These have been conected back to back via the normal input (normally around 4KV). From the generator the power is conected to the output of one (which now becomes the input), and the output of the other is conected to the load.


Like this the generator only sees the first transformer, and the second transformer will see the load and will respond to that by adjusting the current drawn by varying the voltage, and is why you do not hear the generator change note with load, but the cutting disk lost voltage and slowed.


No free energy here, just making use of baluns (balanced and unbalanced), current and the voltage changes to the load, power is always the same, what was put into the first transformer in the fist place, end of story.

The one I watched with his guest was interesting he confirmed that the thermometer was being affected as the glass when touched was not cold but the reading said different. I found that bit odd. What does that though? It seems to do it in very different conditions. Is the em affecting the laser or the unit? Never seen that before with a thermometer



Yep

It's affecting the electronics within the unit, probably not the sensor itself. These instruments use very sensitive "instrumentation amplifiers", a type of precision op-amp, to convert the tiny changes in IR radiation sensed by the sensor, into voltages that can be displayed on the digital readout as temperature. Instrumentation amplifiers are notoriously sensitive to EMI (electromagnetic interference) and people who do serious work will take great pains to shield their measurement circuitry from this kind of interference.
Ironically, I haven't been able to get my own IR thermometer to misbehave like this yet.  I say "ironically" because Morin made a comment about my "cheap" meters, and I'm sure he spent a lot more for his thermometer than I did for mine ! Mine is from Harbor Freight and cost about 20 dollars on sale.

I've not tried all my possible EMI sources yet though!

By the way, the laser has nothing to do with the temperature measurement, it's just a targeting aid. But since the laser beam comes out a little ways to the side of the center of the IR sensor's view, it isn't always accurate in indicating the point where the sensor is looking. On mine the laser beam comes out 15 mm from the center of the IR sensor, and the correct distance where they converge is about 25-30 cm away from the unit. Closer or further away, and the beam doesn't hit the exact center of where the sensor is looking.

The voltage between the two transformers was in the KV range and was affecting the IR thermometer

I suppose I should get the "SassyClassE" SSTC down off its shelf and fire it up. That should get my IR thermometer to misbehave, if anything will!

Thanks for your comment about the baluns. You're right on!

Hi TK. I just tried a small solid state HV tesla coil driver circuit I have which was running around 15 kHz
and putting out about 2 KV to 3 KV or so at least. No effect on my fairly basic digital IR thermometer even when
I moved the gun within about six inches away from the high voltage electrode. I then connected up a sparkgap
figuring that should more likely have some impact on the digital IR thermometer, but it also did not
affect its readings. We all know that high voltage AC and especially sparkgaps can mess up digital
equipment like digital meters and computers, but it seems my little basic IR thermometer has some fairly good
EM noise filtering/tolerance. Maybe Mr. Morin's IR thermometer is especially sensitive to HV EMI, or maybe because he
was running at higher voltages/different frequencies. Different models of IR thermometer will probably vary
quite a bit in what it takes to mess them up with high voltage EMI.
All the best...
