Selfrunning cold electricity circuit from Dr.Stiffler

[DrStiffler]

Why has it gone so quiet in here?

@DrStiffler
I was put out a bit at the efficiency figure of 81% with the "bedini driver" then I noticed the light output has not been counted for.
Also, I personally don't trust digital meters in these instances.

Yes, very observant of you! :-)

Well lets blame the Holidays for the lack of postings.

In my case I have been waiting for over a week for 200 MOSFET's which got lost. Now a re-shipment will not arrive until after the first of the year. In short all is alive and well, but maybe not so public....

@ Stiffy

Lets not blame the lack of measurable over unity for the lack of postings ... heaven forbid

Measuring optical output:

I think one of the best methods to evaluate the
efficiency of these designs is to compare the optical
output of a SEC setup vs. "DC" setup with current source
using a "fixed" installation of a LED chain and a LUX-meter.
There are lots of old analogue LUX-meters (I bought a
"Gossen" some years ago) - and compared to a modern,
digital one - the precision is even better.
If you adjust the dc current of the reference setup to that amount
which produces the same optical output as the SEC - you
get a grip on the nominal input needed.
If the effect even works with resistive loads - a comparison/matching
of the load temperature ( as mentioned some hundred posts earlier)
would be useful.

@ fritz,

And how do you propose to close the loop ?

Just a thought. It has been said and proven that you don't need a battery or power source to run a crystal radio.
Dr. Stiffler's circuit seems to both receive and transmit RF and is especially strong in a sphere around the unit. Could not additional, separately tuned receivers be placed inside the sphere of influence and be used to drive the oscillator which then runs the Dr. Schiffler circuit. Perhaps others are trying to learn what the transmitted frequency is in order to do this.
