rotoverter for power generation

Hi Rob
I'd never heard of the RV motor before yesterday. But I have built the Griggs hydrosonic pump.(water hammer). And I liked your idea of combining the both. I believe it will work. Think I'll keep a closer eye on this thread.
Have a good day!!

Hi Dave,

But I have built the Griggs hydrosonic pump.(water hammer).

Ahh, I sort of knew you had when I saw your reply.

Couple of questions:
When I emailed Hydro Dynamics about their shock wave pump in January this year, I assume this is the same as the Griggs Hydrosonic pump, I asked if the pump was capable of operating at over-unity.
Their reply was:

Dear Rob,

Our ShockWave Power Reactor is very efficient, but still is less than 100%.

Please, go to our website for more information. www.hydrodynamics.com

Have you found it to generate more heat than the energy used to turn the rotor?

Hi Rob

Hydro Dynamics and  Griggs Hydrosonic pump are basicaly all the same thing. I read somewhere on the net that Griggs argued with a couple of testers of his pump that it was not over unity even tho they said it was. I give Griggs alot of credit for that. I don't think he would tell anyone it was OU even if he knew it was way OU. That way he can stay in business with no questions asked. 
And No I have not got my setup finished yet so  don't know what kind of heat to energy ratio I have yet.

Later

PS  We've almost turned this thread into hydrosonic

so, what did anyone think of that bellerian replication video?
or the norman wootan OU  RV results?
do let me know.

Hi esaruoho,

Yes, fascinating, I could not find a video of the closed loop RV though.

I would be keen to give the OU setup a try but for the fact I am on the brink of testing the MEG device for the first test run.

I looked at the cost of a 3 phase motor (1HP) and they can be bought off ebay for about 80 GBP, also I looked at the price of a 3kW 110/240v generator suitable for connecting to a petrol engine for about the same price.
So its fairly cheap and I am fine with the electronics side of things.
I have a 1400W inverter (old APC UPS).

If the MEG does not work out then I am keen to give this a go.
Who knows, maybe the MEG may benefit from some of the ideas used in a single phase RV set-up.

Rob
