Back in the sixties and seventies, when I was working on linear induction motors at Imperial College, London (and later at Cambridge University on the RTV31 linear induction monorail), I often took the London tube (aka subway). There was a gentleman who got on that train every day with his trilby hat and his umbrella. He sat down and, every day, got out a newspaper and laboriously tore it up into tiny strips and spread it over the floor. One day, my curiosity overcame me and I asked him, "Why do you do that every day?" His reply: "Because it keeps the elephants away". "But", I retorted, "there are no elephants on the tube". "So you see", said he, "my strategy has proved completely effective".

PS - this is also why no elephants have ever been sighted in the Diefenbunker.

WOW- THAT'S JUST CRAZY!!!

WHAT A COINSCIDENCE - JUST THE OTHER DAY AS WITH EVERY DAY SO FAR - OUR LAB TECHNICIAN FRED WAS SPREADING TINY STRIPS OF USED BEEF CATTLE TOILET TISSUE ALL OVER THE LAB DOORWAY. I HAD TO ASK, "FRED, WHY DO YOU DO SPREAD THAT BS LADEN PARCHMENT THERE EVERYDAY WITHOUT FAIL?"
"IT'S INSULATION" HE SAID, "IT KEEPS POLARBREEZES FROM BLOWING IN".

"OK", I SAID "AT LEAST NOW WE KNOW WHY".

HERE IS SOME DATA ON LUC'S LATEST CREATION...

AN OCTO-FILAR PRIMARY

INPUT
A = 0.02 AMPS
V = 1.06 VOLTS
P = 21.2 mWATTS

OUTPUT @ 1 K OHM
VOLTS = 4.91 VOLTS
P = 24.2 mWATTS

That sounds pretty impressive.  Are you still running at 60Hz?  If so, then that primary must have a lot of turns to get that much reactance, yes?  What is its DC resistance?  It looks like your numbers come out to way overunity if you count the resistive losses in the copper.

It normally goes like this:

1. Demonstrate a prototype which, however crudely, provides objectively measurable end-results that show how the device can be used to improve a real end-product. In this case it would mean demonstrating that the device improves the efficiency of a motor. (Or any other real end-result would be fine too provided it has value and provided it can be objectively measured, right now, on the actual prototype.)

OR

2. Put forward a theory of operation that can be properly defended and shows that the creator understands the mechanism/phenomenon/process at work and rigorously describes it in proper scientific/engineering terms. Show experimental results that clearly prove this fundamental mechanism (not necessarily, in this case, the end-result) and also, very importantly, exactly how that mechanism can be incorporated with further development into an actual prototype like #1.

What do you think?

Please everyone here
If you do not find the information posted here to be satisfactory to prove to you what we don't even understand ourself, then I suggest for you come to Ottawa for a demonstration and make your own measurements and conclusions. If you cannot come to Ottawa then please build it for yourself. If you cannot build it for yourself, then wait some time and we will build units that you can buy and see the workings of it for yourself.

I am attempting to read through this entire thread.  I presume that from the above post that I can freely build this device for personal and research use?

If so, where may I obtain the necessary documentation to build one? 

I have a master electrician and a mechanical engineer on-hand to build your device for testing purposes.  I will personally travel to your lab if/when we replicate the effect that you have demonstrated and obtain satisfactory measurements.

I have not had such a good laugh in a long time...   my neck is hurting.

Happy to oblige, Luc!

BTW, Thane, was that you I saw in the Naismith pub Monday evening? I thought I recognized your hat - the baseball cap, not the other one (I guess you were off duty).
