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 MAY SOUND IMPRESSIVE - BUT WE ARE KEEPING OUR FEET PLANTED ON THE FLOOR UNTIL
WE HAVE EVERYTHING PROPERLY METERED. I HAVE BEEN FOOLED BEFORE.

WE JUST WANTED TO SHARE IT - BECAUSE AT THE VERY LEAST IT SHOWS A VAST IMPROVEMENT OVER OUR PREVIOUS (VIDEO) DATA PRESENTATION.

WE WILL GET YOU THOSE NUMBERS TODAY WITH SOME BETTER PHOTOS.

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

Luc

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).

I ONLY WEAR MY DUNCE CAP ON SUNDAY.
AND THAT WASN'T MY FAULT - YOUR WIFE CALLED ME THIS TIME!

Thane has spoken more than once about induction motors having the property of requiring less and less power as they accelerate, so I don't think this is new.

Indeed he has, and he presents it as some kind of mystery that requires an unusual explanation.
PB

YES A REAL MYSTERY:
AS AN INDUCTION MOTOR SPEED INCREASES THE ROTOR BACK EMF INDUCED FIELD INCREASES AND COUPLES BACK TO THE STATOR COIL - INCREASING STATOR IMPEDENCE AND CAUSING STATOR CURRENT DRAW TO DECREASE.

HOW COULD TESLA KEEP THIS INFO FROM THE WORLD ALL THESE YEARS?

Hi All,

Forgive my cluelessness but does the tentative efficiency of 114% on Luc's latest test mean OU? 

Cheers,
Aaron

AT SUCH LOW NUMBERS - THE METERS ARE HAVING AN EFFECT ON THE DATA.
WE WON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF AN EFFECT UNTIL WE DOUBLE CHECK WITH MORE SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT - THE EFFICIENCY MIGHT EVEN BE HIGHER HOWEVER.

If the effect isn't evident with an induction motor, I'll still wager it will occur with a Universal motor, or a DC motor as a driver (which I've already documented in experiments. see link below)

That's two pond lillies ........ anybody for a wager ? ...... KneeDeep

Cheers all.

I'LL TAKE THAT WAGER MISTER!
I'LL SEE YOUR TWO POND LILLIES AND RAISE YOU TWO CANADIAN LOONIES (THAT'S ACTUAL MONEY $ 4.00 - NOT LUC AND I )

WE WILL BE SETTING UP A DC GOLF CART MOTOR WHICH IS ARRIVING TODAY.
