Selfrunning cold electricity circuit from Dr.Stiffler

[hoptoad]

There is an alice-in-wonderland quality about this: somebody discovers the greatest thing since fire - tapping into some cosmic energy source that allows him to do more work, i.e., light more bulbs than can be accounted for by the energy coming in.

Instead of doing what I should think any rational man would do and connect the output to the input and make it self-sustaining, and then call in every newspaper and tv reporter he can to announce this monumental discovery to the world - instead of doing that, he gets on overunity.com and urges people to experiment with his circuit.

Then he claims that six of the experimenters have replicated his design successfully and are also lighting more bulbs than can be accounted for.  But none of them calls in the reporters either.

Anybody reading about this bizarre behavior can only conclude that the inventor is just kidding himself and that he has nothing unusual.

@canam101
As a Skeptic, I actually don't think this is bizarre behaviour at all. From a scientific perspective, verification is first and foremost before any publication in the wider realm of the media is considered. And given the rapacious appetite that the media has for sensationalism over substance, I personally wouldn't be too quick to jump into the media spotlight, even if I "Knew" that I had the best thing since sliced bread!

Verification, Replication, Peer Analysis, Objective Deconstruction and Re-Analysis, etc, are all the hallmarks of conservative scientific research. Only after all facets of research are tried and proven beyond reasonable doubts would any conservative orthodox scientist venture to attract media attention.

Now, as a Skeptic, and having built one of these little RF Xmas Trees of LEDS, I am still skeptical about any net energy gain which is above input, but I have no problem whatsoever with the manner in which this discussion has unfolded.

To put in my 2 cents worth...........I say this.......never assume that others think "rational" is the same "rational" you think it is.

As a watcher of this thread since day 1 I say keep up the good works. I have not gotten involved yet because I do not really understand electricity and circuits. I can read them and only guess what is actually happening. Because of the way this has been investigated it has kept my attention and I am actually gathering somethings to start my replications.
I am more interested in the non battery/signal generator version as being "free" energy, portable device. Free meaning I don't have to pay any utility for the use of the energy.
I can image many lighting situations where it would be wonderful not to have to change batteries or plug into the mains.

If  the only thing that happens out of this forum is that people like me try and expand our own knowledge and perhaps help then it has served a purpose. I am not about to go out and spend 100's of dollars on Signal generators, oscilloscopes and the like but I will spend up to $100 dollars and little bits and bobs and have a go.

To Dr. Stiffler and all the replicators, experimenters and hackers like me. Keep going, keep trying, keep expanding your understanding. Don't worry to much about the results fitting into common rules. They are only there to try and define what has already been observed. It doesn't mean that they are completely right or wrong. Just that they fit what has been known.

I would think that feeding LED's with RF energy has power saving advantages for many applications like Xmas lights, cats eyes and other uses where power is not readily available and PV panels are the only practical source of energy. I have been surprised with my experiments at how little current is neded to brightly illuminate an LED.

OU probably not but useful, most certainly.

Some test results. Note that coil and transistor are nonstandard. Resistor is used in place of LEDs since I do not have hundreds of LEDs. Tests show circuit is a constant current source for load resistor. Efficiency seems to be highest at low battery voltage.

To all who are confused at why he doesn't go out and scream overunity, it's completely understandable. Perhaps he thinks that if he got all the attention he possibly could, and finds out later that he made a mistake about his invention or that it really wasn't overunity, he would become a public moron. Many scientists make mistakes, and it very well is possible that he could have made one. Everyone would agree that being a public moron isn't the best thing in this world to be, especialy when trying to invent something. You get shut down, and no one wants to help you. This is probably the best he can do. Get some public help, but don't make yourself a dart board for public interest. A compromise that should help him get his invention perfected, and if he makes a mistake, the entire world won't explode on him. I have some mental problems (i'm not retarded), and i'm very shy. I would probably do the exact same thing as him.

Whether he is hoaxing or not; there is no way to tell. So no conclusion about his intentions should be assumed. This is a powerful invention, and should be attended to with greate appreciation.
