Selfrunning cold electricity circuit from Dr.Stiffler

Ron,

A few questions in regard to your calorimetry results:

1)   What do you mean by COP?  (Coefficient of Performance)   

2)   Why is the PC board shown at the bottom of the webpage, almost all blackened out? I'm prepping my board, hopefully, for a good cooking!   Is it really heat damage from the experiment? That I can't tell you just yet.    If so, how much power are you putting in? EM-the spreadsheets behind the links at the DOC's website have the data necessary to calculate the answer to your question.

@All
If the UPS man isn't lying my components should be here today. In these latest pictures I have posted the secondary is being held in place by ceramic insulation discs. The exciter is 1" copper tube. I'm about to move into the low level start-up and tuning of the circuit. My apologies for the crappy pictures, I have an older digital camera. I will have to get some hi resolution shots of my device replication attempt, if anyone is interested. I'm also working on the calorimeter for the P-in vs P-out test runs. My results will follow when I obtain them.

@Dr. Stiffler,
How significant is the RF radiation from the SEC and are you accounting for that also in the P-out total? If so would you be so kind as to share the technique. I suppose one would have calculate or measure the SEC radiation pattern. "NO!!!! Not Smith Charts! Honey! He's gonna make me do math again!" 

Thang's is-a start'n ta heat-up. 

More to follow, you can be sure.

I do not want to be bogged down in semantics I am using COP to represent Pout/Pin and all are referenced to W/Hr. I have posted  the actual data and formulations, please look there, I do not fell it necessary to go through it all again here.

Something of interest to you. Loki is moving forward with a Large power coil arrangement, one I held reservation on. In order to see for myself I did build a large coiled unit (smaller than Loki). I found a set of conditions similar to your Tesla comments some posts back, as explained below.

With a low power load (hi Z) the output coupling could indeed be adjusted by in and out movement of the inner coil in/out of the Cu sleeve. This of course resulted in the ability to optimally (tune) energy coupling. Now as expected when the load in increased (lower Z) the effect declines and is no longer observable under high loading, resulting in optimal position of both coils being centered.

This is fully understandable, yet the energy transfer is not degraded in the broad banding of the load and is improved as more of the harmonics are utilized.

Just wanted to let you know I did observe this effect.

@All & @Ben

Ben some time back (early on in thread) did something similar to the following where he drove a number of Neons from multiple AV Plugs. In my last post to EMDevices where I tried a larger coil (smaller) than Loki's, I used Neons as loads. The included photo shows Neons (1.9mA) units driven by a large coil. Note that the Litz wire is not used in this coil and the Neons are driven very heavy from 20V @ 10mA, there is an upper limit where the output starts to drop, but that number of Neons is very large.

Just thought someone would like to see the picture, like Ben as he was the first to do it from the older coil designs.

@Loki

A few minor(?) suggestions.

The Black wire coming from the edge of your board to the base coil (assumed ground),  could be a slight problem due to length and radiation. Could you decouple it at the coil? (cap back to V+) so the only high level RF on it will be only by small induction as it lies across the board from the coil to the ground rail.

The White wire feed from the Exciter collector to the power coil, it looks also to be rather long. Maybe a bit shorter.

If to much work to change now, maybe later, but may make things a bit more stable.
