Carbon Arc Spark Gap COP Calculation

[Doctor Whodini]

Stefan,

No, not yet, I'm still working on software changes. I'm hoping to have it tested before the show, however.

magnetoelastic,

Excess output energy is all I or anyone else really cares about. Harnessing excess output energy! That's the "ball game" man!

You are using a DC power source to drive a transformer.  Obviously the power is not flat... because you get a little on the other side of the transformer.  The spark gap increases the highs and lows of the power from the WH - and that causes more induction leading to more efficient energy transfer to the secondary circuit.

That's how it works and it's not overunity and it's not even an efficient power inverter.

[Doctor Whodini]

Elvis,

You're "assuming" the device can't possibly be overunity even though you use words like "increase" and "more efficient energy", and I clearly show the basic process is "overunity". I clearly show there's more output ENERGY with a Carbon Arc spark gap than without.

Now, I should mention that I tested the Perrault Valves. THEY ALL tested "underunity". In other words, ordinary spark gaps NOT using Carbon Rods test "underunity" when compared to NOT using spark gaps.

The spark gap can be modelled as a nonlinear resistor. I don't want to take the next step and say this resistance could be NEGATIVE, because I don't think its NEGATIVE resistance, but a complex DC current is flowing in the circuit. The resistance is therefore always POSITIVE. These complex DC currents are considered to be "temporal" currents.

well I must be missing something here. And maybe you can straighten me out. 

With your transformer connected to a dc generator you will see very little power to the secondary circuit.  This is because there is no alternating curent to generate the induction needed to make the transformer work. There must be- as your experiments show -  enough spikes from the WH to transform some of the energy created by the WH to the secondary circuit.

By intropducing a spark gap you are simply creating more spikes.  And of course the output is a function of the materials used... mass and density all play a role in resonance.  Various materials = various results.  Some are better at creating the pulse needed for induction.

so what's the big deal?  I'm not seeing it.
