World's first real Free Energy Flashlight - no shaking - no batteries! No Solar

[mscoffman]

I believe that a coherer was a device that caused a magnetic field to modulate it's internal contact resistance
carrying a DC current derived from an external DC source. The magnetic field could have been cause by an RF
current capacitively coupled internally. So you have iron filings maybe surrounding a magnet and the RF current
caused the iron filings to "seat" closer to one another lowering the devices internal resistance depending on the
peak RF magnitude. (similar to shaking a sandcasting mold) The RF would have already been seeing low
resistance because of the capacitive coupling of the iron filings.  So unlike a diode used detect the RF AC the
coherer would not have rectified and converted the signal to a DC voltage. But the RF would have modulated the
device's internal impedance so to form kind of an electromechanical amplifier or relay. One more thing, the iron
filings did not decohere themselves so the device needed an electromagnetic tapper to periodically reset the iron
filings to a more random busseled state. This thing was modeled on the carbon microphones used in telephones of
the time. These devices would have been used to detect telegraphic CW continuous wave modulation on an RF
carrier and probably would not have worked very well in the audio range. It's clear that this device would
have died with the advent of higher bandwidth semiconductor rectifiers, electronic amplifiers, and BFO beat
frequency oscillators for CW reception.

the end result: the ELFE is a fake, as are (at least so far) all OU devices.

Yes, that's true for coherers generally, except of the Tripod coherer by Branly (shown earlier in this thread), that was claimed to be able of rectifying AC to DC, at least to certain degree. Still, its efficiency, sensitivity, stability, and suitability for rectifying wide spectrum of RF would be very far from the quality of standard semiconductor diodes.

At least it has become cheaper: for $125 you will get 20 flashlights.

Yes, it looks like ADGEX starts to dump their stock of the flashlights, because even hard-core Free Energy fans now see ELFE is nothing else than an ordinary torch. The number of failed tests grow every week - so far there are 11 known tests - all of them failed completely. See the details here. ADGEX was notified about it many times by customers - they always answer they are aware of the problem and that they will ship a new flashlight as soon as they fix it. However, they do not hesitate to ship the non-functional flashlights to any new customers. This situation continues since the end of November 2015.

The most funny is that the Indiegogo campaign was started by Viktor Uzlov, the Managing Director of ADGEX. The identity was verified by Indiegogo, and it uses the same Facebook account and email as Viktor Uzlov uses on Facebook too. Still, Vasily Muzanov, the ELFE project manager, has sent the following letter when asked by a customer:

Hello Mr. H***n!
We have nothing to do with the campaign at indiegogo.com
This campaign contents fraudulent information, infinges intellectual property rights and was published without any consent from our Company
We have raised a claim about removing of the post from indiegogo and waiting details of its author to file charges against him.

Please be advised that the only place where you can purchase ELFE is our official trading platform www.trade.adgex.com.au
If you see any links at other websites, they MUST redirect you to www.trade.adgex.com.au
There is no any other place to buy ELFE for now!

As regards your case with defective ELFE, we have figured out the problem and now fixing all faulty flashlights we have
Later on today when our European division opens, I will get some infrormation about shipping terms of new serviceable ELFE to you

I will inform you today just after I receive this information

Best Regards,
Vasily Muzanov
ADGEX

It looks like the company is not even able to write a single sentence that would not be a complete lie.
