Looks Like OU Senior Member Avalon Has DONE IT! New Video!

One quick way to confirm.   If you are truly drawing effectively zero current from the grid, you could just find or wind a small 1-1 isolation transformer.

If you're still sucking 300w on the far end of a 10w isolation transformer, congrats .

Another idea we commonly share. This one is included in another experiment in the pipeline. I'll try to make a video as well.

This is a good example of why this community needs a standard COP meter.

Anyway Gyula, if he was indeed creating a 90º phase shift and all connections were correct, then the killawatt meter would be reading correctly, as there would be no input power. Agreed? But it could very well be what PW explained. Hopefully avalon will confirm the connections inside his box.

Hi Darren,

I agree on that, nevertheless question remains how can you explain his smart PG&E house meter does not register anything either (as he wrote it in his Reply #13) while he consumes power from the mains via his box? 


@ avalon   
By the way, your killawatt meter features a VA and a Power Factor measuring possibility too under the W and the Hz button (double function buttons, you need to push them twice to get VA or PF, respectively) and it would be good info if you showed what those buttons may have displayed during the tests...

Yes the grid tie inverter is also a good idea.

O  But why set yourself up as the one to decide who can and can't have this knowledge?   

I don't. I am following the way you suggested in your post exactly.
If the device turn out to be  more than just a cheating box, I will open it up and show.
However, I am not going to promote energy theft for many reasons, if the device will turn up as an elaborate kit to fool the utility.
California or not, basic rules still apply.

A very good question.

I'm interested in what will follow with the suggested tests.

Confirmation of the GND/Neutral connection inside the box would be good as well.

Avalon:

Another simple test would be to just continue to use the heck out of your device and...if the Thugs from PG&E show up and arrest you, then you know it was just a cheating device, ha ha.

I do respect that you do not want to release possible plans for a device to steal from the power company, (IF this is what it turns out to be) this is admirable.
