Did someone tried to replicate a Hendershot Generator ???

MenofFather,


that's a good idea, to scale it down. If you try it I wish you good luck and much success.


Gyulasun,


let me get this straight, are you saying that all results in utilizing reactive power, done in experimental setups by Luc are nullified and reactive power cannot be utilized?


I am not talking about OU, just the question if you could use some energy before the current returns to the wattmeter in a 90° phase shift and would therefor not appear on the power bill?

What if we scale up the foxhole radio, and the output, instead of going to the headphone, goes to the transformer? What if we incorporate the concept of a foxhole radio into the Hendershot/Artoj circuit?

If any of you have some suggestions, let's start with the Artoj modification, and do some changes from there.

I think such a radio is too weak.


The basket-like structure of the coil/Cap reminds me of a broadband radiation collector, used for high voltage collection/transformation. If the magnet is really the only input, then there must be really some weird amplification being performed. How about:
The magnet thingie generates a pulse of medium force, as you would expect it. This pulse goes into a coil. The flyback or bemf of the coil may jump over a sparkgap that is inside the basket like caps, and the entire spark radiation is absorbed by the capacitance, and now there may even an electron avalanche take place.
.Also think about the nails of the "basket-cap", being iron (?) must serve a very special purpose, in being part of a multi-core design.


You may add an input voltage, simulating what tbe magnet is supposedo do.

Dieter,

No, I did not say or mean that.  What I wrote refers to that single particular setup Luc showed in that single video to which he commented the two errors,  and my above forum link to Luc's post refers also to that same video.  No more and no less.

On your second question: yes, one can use some tricks  to "fool" the utility meter (wattmeter) that includes a 90°phase shift so that his or her power bill does not increase significantly or stays the same etc:  I do not consider such tricks as a source to "free" energy, although it may be free for a tricky user.

Gyulasun,


ok, thanks for making this clear. Tricking the power company is not OU, but at least it is something.


I am still not shure if there is any real energy dissipation in utilizing pure reactive power. Shure it must require some energy to provide the grid AC voltage and current, but has the utilization of reactive power any impact on it?
