Hi Stefan,

Many thanks for compressing the movies!
Can you please have a look at mpd05.avi? It doesn?t seem to play. Different codec or it is just my computer?
Cheers,
Tinu

It just tested it again and it works,  just redownload it first to your harddisk
and play it from there.

Potential difference transformer

As I think I?ve mentioned before, I get a lot of emails from people claiming to have solved all the worlds environmental problems through some perpetual motion device or similar. These are not the usual run of the mill spam messages, they are usually targeted at me as a science journalist and talk of big solutions. If they were sent by snailmail they would be in green ink, the majority of them, I suspect.

Some of these claims seem to reach global proportions as we?ve seen with the Steorn research, which is yet to bear fruit. In fact, I created a new section on SciScoop to cover and discuss just such controversial conjectures; I highlighted several odd scientific claims some time ago on Sciencebase too.

Anyway, Thane Heins, of Potential Difference Inc, contacted me recently with the claim that he and his company have developed a device based on a bi-toroid
transformer
prototype that
in tests proved
to be
7000% efficienta bi-toroid transformer prototype that in tests proved to be 7000% efficient. ?This past weekend we gave a product demonstration (generator and transformer) to an international transformer manufacturer,? Heins told me, ?Our transformer used 0.2 Watts in the primary and produced 14 watts through a 180 ohm - 25 watt resistor. We will be producing 1 - 7000 Watt toroids in the near future and even larger industrial ones.?

Could he be on to something. It?s a controversial claim, indeed, and certainly one that might warrant refiling in SciScoop?s Controversial Conjectures. But Heins claims to have reproducible evidence to support his claims. ?We have third party data,? he told me. Moreover, ?the power dissipation calculations are very simple and can be verified by anyone.?

Heins confessed that the team is still trying to get the physics aspect of the technology, which he refers to as the Perepiteia Transformer, evaluated and published by a university. He says they have been trying for almost two years. Heins sent me comments from various academics who have looked at the work. One of them states, ?Your claims seem to violate the law of conservation of energy and Maxwell?s
equations of electro-magneticsYour claims seem to violate the law of conservation of energy and Maxwell?s equations of electro-magnetics.? Heins perceives this as a positive statement, ?It is very positive and rare for someone to actually put that in writing - very brave in my book,? he told me. However, Heins adds that the academic in question has not been able to take physical readings on the transformer prototype, and to my mind it almost sounds like a skeptic?s voice as opposed to a supporter.

Another academic describes the technology as ?a new source of electric power? but then goes on to advise Heins: ?Do Not explain the physics - stay with explaining ONLY the electrical POWER measurements - it will keep you out of a lot of media trouble.?

I am sure it will, anyone claiming such vast energy efficiencies from what is essentially a simple transformer that just happens to have donut-shaped components is bound to attract skeptical inquiry.

That correspondent ?was responding to the press release not the transformer data or diagrams/explanations,? retorts Heins, [he] did not understand at the time that the back EMF that would otherwise couple back to the primary is now diverted into secondary coil 2 doing real work, I assume that [he] thought that I didn?t know where the extra power is coming from but I do and designed things to work as they do.?

Heins talks of how the technology is ?Based on the unique theory of leveraging back EMF and upsetting the power balancing mutual coupling coefficients?, his company has apparently ?developed and produced an operational transformer which exceeds 100% efficiency.?

?Any skeptic can recreate the same transformer in about 8 hours and get virtually identical results,? Heins adds, ?I wound ours by hand so I know.? He concedes that it is hard to comprehend and says he was skeptical at first. ?For a transformer the Law of Conservation of Energy can ONLY APPLY if mutual coupling exists from the secondary back to the primary. The Bi-Toroid diagram shows how this cannot happen and how the Law of Conservation of Energy is violated by simply employing Lenz?s Law and Maxwell?s Equations and controlling flux path magnetic reluctance.? Magnetic reluctance is the analogous phenomenon of electrical resistance, but unlike electrical resistance consumes no energy.

Heins adds that he and his colleagues ?have coupling from the primary to the secondary. The reluctance flux path in the secondary is lower because either the secondary core area is greater or because we employ core material with a higher relative permeability which results in a decrease in reluctance. When the secondary reluctance is lower - back EMF induced flux from secondary coil 1 must follow the path of least reluctance into secondary 2 and not back to the primary. The primary operates only at magnetizing current levels (reactive current only) and does not draw any non-reactive current from the source. The law of conservation of energy for a transformer requires secondary back EMF to be able to mutually couple back to the primary - but if this flux path is higher it will not be able to do so.?

I?d be interested to see comments on these claims from the physicists among you, although better still it would be educational if someone were to reconstruct the device, test it and post their results. Can the laws of physics cope with a 7000% efficient transformer? Can we really get more energy out than in by diverting magnetic reluctance? If so, then it might be worth breaking open the fireworks early this July 4, but I suspect that this really is simply one for the Controversial Conjectures folder once again?shame.


=========================


SO the main thing :
Heins told me, ?Our transformer used 0.2 Watts in the primary and produced 14 watts through a 180 ohm - 25 watt resistor. We will be producing 1 - 7000 Watt toroids in the near future and even larger industrial ones.?

could be verified in the posted videos, if he had shown, how much power
he pulled out of his coils when he shorted them out.

Too bad the videos did not contain any lighting incandescent bulbs in series with the
shorted out coils.
Especially video part 4 is convincing, where he has this toroid flux path and shorts
out the 2 coils and the rotor does not slow down.
If he would have shown how much power he did short out out of the coils,
that would have been even more convincing.

Regards, Stefan.

It appears that the Perepiteia Motor is nothing more than a hysteresis brake.  Placing the steel rods (wound by coils) near the spinning magnets induces alternating magnetic flux within the rods, the resulting magnetic hysteresis causes drag on the rotating disk, and heat losses within the steel rods.  Shorting out the coils effectively shields the steel rods from the disk's magnetic field, eliminating the hysteresis drag.  This causes the motor to speed up - but not as much as it would if the steel rods were removed completely.

BUSTED!

Put a shorted coil near a moving magnet and then come back with your theory
Lenz Law, when a magnet approaches a coil it will induce a current in the coil which in turn will create a magnetic field opposing the approaching magnet, a shorted coil is the same as saying the coil has an extremely low resistive load attached to it.
