KneeDeep.......It definitely depends on where you stick the aforementioned "finger",  after you've licked it......KneeDeep...  
Amigo, glad to see you're still cheerfully hanging around this thread. You're doing well for a person who professes to being impatient!  LOL.
Just wondering how those 20 cores of yours are aiding your cause in finding the cause! ...... LOL.

Have you had any particular variations in circuit configurations which you would say are definitely putting out more usable light than the others for a given input? I'm not asking whether you have achieved O/U, but whether it has become obvious that one or two particular circuit configurations are definitely more efficient (conventionally speaking) than others?

Hi hoptoad

Yes, I'm still around, though keeping myself busy with other things at the moment, namely vortex mathematics (per Schauberger, and recently Rodin) as it relates to magneticity (term coined by Ed Leedskalnin). Speaking of dielectric and magnetic inductance, I read this document Free Energy Research of Eric Dollard - notes 1986-1991 where Eric talks about Golden Ratio spiral (basically Walter Schauberger's hyperbolic mathematics or Rodin's coil) and then goes into flow of electromagnetic energy through a conductor, lines and tubes of force, dielectricity and capacitance, etc.

I still have to try that latest "Bedini" based driver, but measuring light output with our eyes just does not cut it anymore. It all looks the same to me and it most likely isn't. Should try to build at least a light probe with an IR filter on it - no point measuring what we can't see or use.

I also wonder if we (someone?) could "draw" a co-relation between measured light output and oscillator frequency, whether there is some connection there if frequency is higher or lower and if/how does that affect light output.

Regards.

@Amigo,
Do you have a spreadsheet program like Excel? If so, you could use it to enter measured light output units in one column and oscillator frequency for each measured output in another column, then use the graph features to "draw" your correlation curve.
If you don't have Excel, you could download OpenOffice for Windows (it's completely free) from OpenOffice.org. The OpenOffice Spreadsheet program has all the basic functions of Excel, including graph capabilities. Graphs can be drawn in various formats, including line graphs.

Cheers from the Toad who Hops.

Perhaps we are closer to closing the loop than we thought.  A resistor generates heat with virtually 100 percent efficiency. High efficiency Seebeck effect thermoelectric modules can offer possible efficiencies in the 20 percent range, converting a difference in temperature to electricity.  The combined efficiency could therefore be effectively 20 percent.  This is a far higher conversion efficiency then any typical combination of LED plus Solar cell. (Assuming that for some strange reason a DC-DC converter couldn't be used!)   As an example, a Stiffler circuit consuming 1 watt of electricity, but  generating 5 watts of heat in a resistor would yield 1 watt of electricity in a Seebeck module (20% of 5 watts) plus 4 watts of free waste heat. While this theoretical circuit would not generate excess electricity, it would be self sustaining and act as a "free" 4 watt heater (waste heat from the Seebeck module).  The trick would be to design a Stiffler circuit that could drive a Seebeck module into its optimum thermal range, and to find a Seebeck module with at least 20% efficiency!

Dear Non-Funded Researchers

Have any of you observed or measured a repeatable 7 degree C temperature drop (from Ambient) in the switching transistor of any of Dr. Stiffler's proposed circuits, especially in the latest "Christmas Circuit"? [see http://www.drstiffler.com/drivers.asp]  In fact, have you ever observed a measurable temperature drop in any signal transistor in any circuit?

This observation has dipped into the well of my ignorance. I know that strange cooling has been reported with various OU systems, in particular the E.V.Gray Motor and the Hendershot device. However, to the best of my knowledge this cooling was involving the conductors, not active components.

Before I get to excited about this I would like to consult the collective wisdom of this group. Perhaps, I'm dealing with a rare, but very classical process that manifests itself under certain conditions.

If this is a unique process I shall be glad to post all the technical details of my setup. However 95% of the information is already disclosed by Dr. Stiffler. In my exploration I'm using three (3) hand wound air coils 27 Turn - 1" diameter - #23 AWG magnet wire for the inductors. Be sure to note the orientation of these coils, because it makes a big difference in achieving the cooling mode of operation. I don't know why. My energy harvest circuit uses a 32 Volt DIAC in lieu of the 120V sidactor (parts on order). The storage capacitor is a 200 uF 330 WVDC Flash Electrolytic (Not measured). The diodes are IN4148. The switching transistor is an MPSA06. The base capacitor is 400 pF Silver Mica. The circuit is operating at 15V. The amount of cooling will decrease (get warmer) 1 degree C for every  1 Volt drop (approx.) in supply voltage. Supply current varies between 50 and 65 mA, depending upon the state of the storage capacitor charge. Higher supply voltages can probably be used, but this is the limit of this supply (for now). The resistive dumping load is a #1447 incandescent panel lamp 12V 130 mA

While in the cooling mode of operation the base switching frequency of the transistor is 1.8 MHz. There is a very observable ringing frequency of 27 MHz impressed on the Collector current - which may be significant. The energy harvest circuit dumps at 32 Volts and recovers at 23 Volts, so I'm only harvesting a 9 Volt difference at a time, or about 5 mJ. The time between dumps in this circuit is 135 mS. The lamp glows just a little.

Important Note: Generally I observe the Vce voltage while exploring these circuits with my Oscilloscope using a standard 10:1  10Meg-3pF probe. Connecting the scope probe to the collector (ground to B-) of the switching transistor KILLS THIS MODE OF OPERATION. I have no clue as to why. I can't think of any classical reason why it would do this since there is no grounding conflict.

The attached Trace is of Ic. This is taken with a Pearson Pulse Current Transformer Model #150 where the B+ supply wire is wrapped 5 times around the transformer. The resulting scale is 20 mA per vertical division. Accuracy may be impaired by 10% using this technique.

Lost Energy:

This was suppose to be an OU circuit, but so far it turns out to be a -OU circuit. According to my calculations I'm only recovering 5% of the inputed 750 mW in my energy harvest circuit. My switching transistor is getting cold ---so where the heck is all my classical energy going? I hope the FCC won't be knocking on my door for EMI interference.

Respectfully,

Measuring Heat or lack of, on the cheap, yet effective. Far from the pro's that have worked this out to the last 100th of a degree, 'Little C' will for sure give answers for Heat production in excess of COP>2. It would work lower, but I will defer that to the labs that specialize in this type of measurement. The following are some pictures as it was constructed and where the circuit sits when tested. Oh and yes, it is also a combined Faraday Cage/ Calorimeter all in one.
