Yes it was mentioned previously!( post 17 -18 and the work around

PLEASE :mention if the newer links don't open, it would not be the first timeWe had problems with link access in different parts of world!

My original link is being 'neutralised' by the system so I will attach the doc directly here as it's under 15MB.

I should have my 'suggestions' doc ready today (uk time).

A quick comment about 'looping'. Yes looping the output back to the input is a good way of seeing if a device is indeed harvesting energy (from wherever). Using the two battery system this is actually what is being done in my system but with a delay equal to the swap time. This is all explained in the other doc 'Load Testing' where I layout my methodology for doing power tests, guided by the CoP results so far.

For those who haven't read from the beginning, using the cap dump circuit I was getting CoPs in the 0.8-1.5 range whereas using direct HV pulsing I was getting much better in the 5-15 range (more recent readings). I need to confirm these with the forthcoming power tests and with an appropriate 'level of confidence'.

I repeat that my overall aim is to confirm or refute a phenomenon and not to identify any particular energy pathway.

Anyway here are the two main docs I'm sharing at this time. Another will come later today.

Hi All;
I think that I have experienced this phenomenon before way back when I was assessing my Bedini SG setup and the (LAB) Lead acid batteries were not making progress and were slowly discharging over time. 

When I added 4 LIFEPO (lithium iron phosphate battery) batteries in series out of my digital camera instead of charging the LAB battery the LIFEPO batteries received a better charge than the 120 VAC charger where instead of lasting three (3) days they would last well past a week! 

This was mentioned in my posts from way back when I mentioned this effect but I can't figure out how to search my posts to quote it.
If anyone can find the post where I mention being able to charge the LIFEPO batteries better than the LAB then please post a link to it, I think it may be important as far as a proof of replication of how the short sharp shocks have an effect where LIFEPO batteries work in this setup better than LABs.

I think that it would be worth revisiting this circuit with all LIFEPO batteries and the switching circuit as proposed by the OP insted of LABs.
Thanks all,
Paul

Hi all,

Just to update you regarding the replication manual that I am preparing for those who would like to replicate my device and findings.

The manual explaining in depth how to replicate the device is almost ready at approaching 80 pages and around 25,000 words, plus additional material in Appendices, including various relevant research papers.

The new PCB v4 has been received and is under construction but ongoing postal strikes here are delaying the arrival of a few components that are required to complete the circuit build. Until I have done that then I can't finalize the text of some parts of the manual, for example, the diagnostics section.

So generally everything is coming along fine but I won't make the manual 'live' until the PCB has been completed, installed, and checked. Nevertheless, I am providing the link to the folders below so that you can explore the additional material and the research papers while awaiting the manual and PCB files. I also attach a photo of the new board being assembled and screen grabs of the front cover and contents of the manual. I am hoping it will be up before Xmas and if not then soon after.

So here is the link to the replication folders and where, for the time being, the 'Manual' and the 'PCB Files' folders are empty.

For those who are dubious of the CoPs so far obtained then the full methodology is provided in the Manual. Power tests are soon to follow and where the maximum power demand that can be sustained by the system, with battery swapping enabled, will be undertaken such that neither battery drops its voltage below its starting value. Even though these further validating tests are not yet done, the approach is laid out in the Manual. Not too long to wait now but it depends on the postal strikes.

While this may not be proof of JulesP's work I suggest anyone doubting it they look at his Author blog PDF file in the download provided.  That's an impressive amount of education in related fields.     I tend to doubt he has made any SUE's (stupid user errors) in this work.  I haven't read this whole thread but if the claim of 53 COP has been made I'd tend to believe it if this was correct and not 1.53.  Clarification on that point requested.   I would also agree that at some point having the system looped and running a load for a long enough time which would exceed the potential in the batteries would add to the proof of COP > 1.

Testing will involve incremental increases to the load to find the point at which a voltage
drop is recorded following the recovery phase after a series of cycles. From that value the
maximum power output that can be sustained is derived

The PDF reads as if the load test hasn't been done at the time of writing. No-one with a bedini has had remotely near the proposed gains. I have not seen one online achieving any overunity.

A COP of 53 means I could run a 1000W bar heater off a cheap car battery for over 30 hours without charging it at all.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
