Claimed OU circuit of Rosemary Ainslie

[TinselKoala]

I've just been reading the Ainslie thread at nakedscientists.
It seems the reception there wasn't very, well, receptive to her ideas.

She really says some remarkable things there.

Such as this:

"No, I really do not know what a capacitor is.  You can safely assume that there is no limit to my lack of knowledge especially as it relates to electric circuitry.  I find all electric circuits quintessentially boring.  It was just a means to an end.  My only interest is in physics."

So what are you saying? She's an idiot and your trying to debunk her with your replication?

[TinselKoala]

I'm saying that I do not like to be lied to, and insulted by the person doing it, simultaneously. Especially when they are ignorant and arrogant about it.

And I have demonstrated several, shall we say, misstatements of fact, in the Ainslie material. The report of the performance of the circuit in question, for example.

Build it and see for yourself.

And read the thread at nakedscientists, yourself. That's why I posted the link.

I'm quoting her words. I built her circuit. What is there to debunk? The circuit does not even do what she says wrt the duty cycle it generates, and her power/energy calculations depend on the duty cycle.

I have actual facts that can be verified by anyone, unlike her claims.

She is not telling the truth about the work done on her circuit, and she displays appalling ignorance of basic science facts and methodology.

Then you admit it is a personal issue with you and her which in turn makes you biased...

I admit that I built her circuit in good faith, then I noticed the very clear and blatant discrepancies, and when I began, very politely, to discuss it with her, she responded with a great deal of disrespect, and still will not acknowledge that she is wrong.

Yes, it has indeed become a personal issue. But I am always ready to be corrected by DATA.

If you can find any fact that I have stated that is WRONG, please tell me so that I may correct it.
If you find any fact that Rosemary has stated that is WRONG, please let her know, and see how far you get.

Come on, you seem to have a lot to say, Heair Bear. PROVE ME WRONG. For goodness sake.

(And before you bring up some particular mosfet part number, I will just ask you this: How do you know what's sitting on my bench?)
