Claimed OU circuit of Rosemary Ainslie

[Rosemary Ainslie]

He has set the pots in such a way as to render the circuit "inoperable" and the current draw is almost nil. The fact that his battery recovered a minute amount of voltage overnight can not be construed as evidence of recharging. That is not proof.

...In other words, one can not conclude that anything at all is being properly measured and indicated.

Run a switch at plus/minus half a watt - have heat over a MOSFET and reduce the temperature from 2 hundred watt resistors and still recharge a a 12volt 3AH battery over a 7 hour run period?  Which part of this is 'insignificant' and which part 'not properly measured and indicated?'  You forget that the tektronix is equal to these measurements.  What is significant is that the battery in fact recharged.

Rosemary,

I had seen this video and I'm not impressed at all! The only way that I can simulate the negative readings he has shown on the video, is to pulse my meter lead. I then get exactly the same range of readings as Aaron on my 200mV range. I would ask Aaron to carefully check that one of his meter leads is not intermittently going open circuit or high resistance.

The fact remains that his circuit is working at an ridiculously low power level which is not even going to heat his resistor above ambient!

And the fact remains that he has an apparent zero draw down rate.  You guys asked for voltage measurements across a shunt at 0.25 Ohms taken from a standard voltmeter.  We're looking at an average dc voltage from a shunt ONLY.  What about the measurements across the loads, the switch, the pots and on and on?  What is wrong with you all?  There is about 0.8 watts dissipated at zero cost to the battery as proven by the measurements across a shunt using every possible meter to hand.  And the conclusions relating to zero battery draw down concur with the evidence on the battery voltage as well as the careful measurements taken from a 'rolls royce' measuring instrument.  It is acknowledged that the results are small.  But they are not insignificant and they are not wrong.

You keep complaining that the voltage reading across the shunt is small.  It IS small.  It is not drawing energy from the battery.  And that you can't duplicate this Hoppy?  I cannot explain why.  Perhaps it's because you'd rather not.

Rosemary,

You too are looking at Aaron's tests at a distance by video. I see only a rundown of the battery on my bench. Ask Aaron to power his circuit with a cap and even at the ridiculous low power level, his cap will discharge. If he wants to explain this away by saying that the battery does the magic, then fine because this is always the get out clause. Go on take a gamble and ask Aaron to do just one more test Rosemary, with the cap, to prove us all wrong. He can then rejoice and claim the OU prize and have his name go up in lights!!
