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.

I have of course done that much.

... OBVIOUS ...

Do you think that writing bold-caps "obvious" next to your statements somehow gives them greater scientific merit?

All the acceleration and deceleration stuff is, of course, obvious - it's easy to see and to measure and it's great Youtube material. But the issue is that it's not the acceleration/deceleration itself that matters. It's the power flows. I know it sounds like a broken record but that's the point that you're persistently ignoring.

There is a way, though, to do it by the acceleration/deceleration method and still be measuring power reliably. A few posts up I referred to a method that can actually use deceleration as a defensible means of measuring the power flow in the generator. The reason it works is that the prime mover is completely disconnected during the measurement phase and so cannot be responsible for any of the power flows, nor for any of the changes in speed - so whatever happens is necessarily done by the generator. It was originally A22's idea and it's bullet-proof as far as I can see. If you can demonstrate OU with that method you'll certainly have me convinced.

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

I wasn't interested in a free rotor, no motor for a measurement test. A HV shorted coil maintaining the rpm's of a free rotor would convince ALL, even the most ignorant.

Indeed it would and based on Thane's comments I feel I can speak for that elite group.

Just guessing but I reckon it's probably the piece that moves against the variac coils to make contact (like a motor brush).

it's a tiny brush for cleaning it if it gets dirty.

no seriously it's a carbon brush as in DC motors, it is the moving contact on the coil.
