Hi Thane,

Great work. But just wondering after seeing the last couple of bridges. In the previous photos it appeared that the gaped toroids were made up of bands of special magnetic material. Would it be possible to get a roll of the material from the manufacturer and wrap it completely around the two gaped toroids, making a smooth bypass and no limit to the size.

@cranky,
Very impressiv - thats overuntiy!! Just to make sure nobody can dispute it how about using a more accurate meter to measre the inpout current? That clampmeter is only accurate to 3 digits so if its reading 0.02, then the real numebr could be as high as 0.05, which would then NOT be overuntiy. So getting the  proof needs a better meter - how about that grey bench meter in the earlier photos - it also measures pf directly. ITs headline news if you can get the proof measurements.

THE GREY METER YOU SUGGEST SHOWED AN INPUT CURRENT OF 0.03 AMPS IT ALSO SHOWED A POWER FACTOR OF 1 SO I DIDN'T INCLUDE IT BECAUSE THE POWER FACTOR IS CLEARLY NOT 1.

YES IS AM CURRENTLY REWINDING THE SECONDARIES ON  A NEW TOROID BRIDGE WHICH IS A SOLID PIECE. THE BRIDGE IN THE PREVIOUS PHOTOS  WAS A TOROID CUT IN HALF AND THEN REJOINED AS AN OVAL - NOT THE BEST EFFICIENCY WISE.

ALSO IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE PRIMARY TOROIDS ARE NOT GAPPED BUT NOW SOLID.

THE AMOUNT OF SECONDARY BACK EMF "DIVERSION" DICTATES HOW FAR OVER UNITY THE UNIT CAN GO.

THE ULTIMATE DESIGN WILL LOOK LIKE A MOLECULE - WITH THE PRIMARY "NUCLEUS" IN THE CENTRE AND A SERIES OF SECONDARY TOROIDS ORBITING THE PRIMARY (MAGNETICALLY JOINED IN THE CENTRE) - SO NOW THE SECONDARY BACK EMF INDUCED FLUX WILL RADIATE OUTWARD AWAY FROM THE PRIMARY ALTOGETHER LOWERING THE POWER FACTOR AND THE PRIMARY CURRENT INCREASE EVEN MORE UNDER LOAD.

ANY AMOUNT OF RETURN FLUX (TO THE PRIMARY) WILL BE LIMITED BY AND BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER AND SIZE OF OUTER SECONDARY COILS AND BY PRIMARY CORE SATURATION - WHICH WOULD AGAIN CAUSE BACK EMF INDUCED FLUX TO CONSTANTLY RADIATE OUTWARD AWAY FROM THE PRIMARY. THE BI-TOROID SECONDARIES WOULD SELF REGULATE THEIR OWN LOAD VOLTAGES.

That's looking real good Thane!
What does your local University of Ottawa professor say about these readings?
