Tempted to bid on that Variac.

But we don't want a bidding war between list members so if Thane wants it I won't, but it's a deal.

Although shipping to NZ might push the price up that is a mighty cheap and powerful autotransformer.

Yes, I'll hold off in bidding also, it is close to the type that I had before Katrina ate it. Would love to have it now, funny how a global warming storm has slowed research against global warming.

Also, I believe any Bday people are allowed to be disoriented for several days afterwards. Could be too much carbs though cake or other sources.

Now, this is strange, but I semi agree with OUman. I don't like to suggest to the real testers when I am not able to test, but I have thought of the clutch mechanism previously. I don't think it is at all easy as OUman suggest, but if it could be done it would help to show OU. Any ideas!

Regards, Larry

AS FOR TESTING METHODS I SUGGEST - LOADING THE HC COIL WITH A LIGHT OR RESISTIVE LOAD - CAUSING DECELERATION WHICH IS OBVIOUS.

THEN EMPLOY THE HV COILS ONLY TO ACCELERATE THE SYSTEM THROUGH THE HC COIL LOAD - AGAIN OBVIOUS.

THEN I SUGGEST POSTING YOUR RESULTS ON YOUTUBE OR HERE AND WATCH PEOPLE IGNORE THE OBVIOUS - FOR REASONS WHICH ARE NOT OBVIOUS

ONCE YOU SEE THAT YOU CAN CONTROL AND OR NEGATE LENZ'S LAW AT YOUR WILL THE IMPLICATIONS WILL BE OBVIOUS.
