Selfrunning Waterpump-generator device runs 60 Watts lamp...

[spinner]

I just wander, is a parking lot cleared of a snow, or what?
Another winter is closing a northern hemisphere, so...

What happened with the "60watt "FE" pool pump"?

Doh...

Thanks for digging up this thread... I wander what happened with this "absolute truth" project, too.

Silly, I was banned just to pointing up the mistakes with this "OU pool pump" discovery.

Thanks to our Admin Allmighty, and his staff...  Ramses & Co.

"The only thing, that puzzles
me, why is the lamp going out so fast
at the end, when he removes the plug and
after about 2 seconds the lamp goes out immediately..."

If you look at the video, you can see two capacitors mounted on top of the generator. I know from experience as an electrician, service tech for Generac standby generators, and installer of home surge suppressors,
Generators had to be isolated from capacitors because they would damage the systems. Normally, a capacitor will discharge, repowering the generator coil as a motor, causing it to turn in the same direction (rather than backwards)

Usually 120 volts needs 3600 rpms.
Reducing the revolutions per minute will lower the voltage, which would dim the light. The light turned off as if electricity ceased instantly.

A capacitor won't affect the voltage. But capacitors actually consume power and may be trying to power the generator coil as a motor.
My first instinct says that the capacitors aren't connected to the generator.

When I look at the setup closely, (as best I can) the caps are laying loosely ontop of the metal casing, to where the connections seem dangerously close to "grounding out"
And what is most perplexing is how both the hot and neutral of the SJO from the outlet seem to be connected to the capacitor in tandem.
And the other end of the chain doesn't seem to be connected to anything at all...

I have always wondered about those "capacitors" myself. It would seem
that capacitors would be used as a resonant source in a reluctance
regulated AC generator to regulate the strength of the generator
field coils. So what I am thinking is that a LC resonant regulator
would substitue for the regulator circuit in an automobile alternator.
But suppose someone unbeknowst to the guy substitued batteries
for those capacitors. Now the generator would be running full on
with the current from the batteries summed in. You would have
an overunity generator - until the time came for a rebuild, and to
recharge the field batteries again - which would always be soon.
No guarentees - just a thought.
