Eldarion and Bruce's build of Bob's Energy Converter

[eldarion]

Hi Rich,

Thank you for the diagram--it will help a lot to have a confirmed secondary connection schematic like that!

Would it be possible for you to post a scope shot of one (or more ) of the primary coils while the entire system is hooked up and running?  I am having a terrible time getting my system to work, and if I could compare the desired primary waveform(s) (what you get) vs. my waveform(s), I could zero in on a solution much faster.

If you don't have the time or a scope, that's OK--just thought I'd ask.

Thanks,

Eldarion

EDIT:  I just realized yet another discrepancy between my build and the working build(s): Rich has a stack of batteries providing the HVDC potential.  Those batteries probably have a very low AC impedance compared to my bridge rectifier...I'll see if lowering the impedance of the HV source helps anything.

I was waiting for Rich to post the diagram before responding here. It took him a few days to get the time to draw it up and post. He has been very busy, and on top of that dealing with a terminal illness and recent loss in the family. Thank you Rich for doing this. I guess I was having a hard time trying to put into words what such a simple diagram shows.

The source of the dipole should not matter much, whether it is batteries or a power supply, as long as it is decoupled from earth ground well enough that it does not "short out" the LEM energy flow. The current requirement is so low that you can even plug together a bunch of 9V "transistor radio" batteries into a little "brick" and use those.

My amish friend uses a brick of those 9V batteries to reach over 700 volts as the dipole source in one of his prototypes. Once operating, he can parallel a HV capacitor bank with the batteries, and then remove the battery "brick" from circuit. The capacitor bank is just able to keep it going while powering the load, as capacitors do not convert LEM to TEM as efficiently as batteries. It is interesting to note that when the batteries are in circuit, they increase in voltage while running. The incoming LEM charges them while they are connected. His self-running device uses a HV pulse motor to rotate a commutator that fires the pulses to the inductors. So it is mechanically regulated to prevent runaway and avalanche. The pulse motor and load operates directly off of the dipole source, so no other power source is required. With batteries removed and just running on the capacitors which are being charged by LEM, it continues to run for as long as he wants it to, using HV impulses to flash-light some flourescent light tubes. A totally free light source, as long as the mechanical components don't break down or wear out ;-)

Rich has also noted that the old batteries he uses do not run down, and in fact now hold charge better than they used to. It is as if the exposure to LEM flow has improved the operation of those old batteries.

Tryed to post,, quess didnt like me.. will try to post the pics anyway, hope that works, will explain after the fact

Is that thing emitting radiation?

Also, is that the bulb intensity when it is in self-running mode?

Thanks!

LOL Yeah, light radiation  .

Looks great Rich! Hey can you take some scope shots of the waveforms at your IGBTs? I think that it would be very helpful to compare them with what Eldarion is seeing in his setup.

God Bless,
