Prof. Tutor shows Zero Point energy extraction into mechanical rotation

[onthecuttingedge2005]

To get some perspective on how big a farad is, think about this:

A standard alkaline AA battery holds about 2.8 amp-hours.
That means that a AA battery can produce 2.8 amps for an hour at 1.5 volts (about 4.2 watt-hours -- a AA battery can light a 4-watt bulb for a little more than an hour).
Let's call it 1 volt to make the math easier. To store one AA battery's energy in a capacitor, you would need 3,600 * 2.8 = 10,080 farads to hold it, because an amp-hour is 3,600 amp-seconds.

it is impractical to use Capacitors, Superconductors are the next step to storing potential.

the so-called "supercaps" show great potential.

they charge up quickly like a capacitor, yet discharge slowly like a battery.
one guy had a demo where he operated a 9.4v electric drill from a few of them, for a several minutes.

only taking mere seconds to recharge.

on using oil..... ::  oil-based systems generally need to be kept under presure if they are to be used at any significant voltage levels.  high voltage potentials litterally repel the oil and will cause a physical break-down of the insulation barrier, if not held in place under pressure.  This is why industry standard oil-based capacitors and transformers are pressurized.

Just a reminder"baby oil" is mostly mineral oil.So you could have some nice smelling capacitors,lol.

Hi sm0Ky2,

I do not think that super-caps are promising simply by the fact that in order to store an certain amount - lets say 1 Joule -  of energy in a cap you need 2 joule to achieve this.

please have a look at the file attached here and go to the bottom of this document for all reference-documents ever published about this subject.

Re onthecuttingedge2005:
Formula for electrostatic energy is 0.5CU^2 so capacity needed to store energy 2.8 Watthours (or 10,080 Joules) would be 20,160 Farads (if the voltage is 1V as you said) but this is minor mistake.

Re Kator01:
"I do not think that super-caps are promising simply by the fact that in order to store an certain amount - lets say 1 Joule -  of energy in a cap you need 2 joule to achieve this."

This is only valid if voltage is constant. If voltage is gradually increased then theoretically there are no losses in circuit and all the energy from source is transformed to electrostatic energy. This is called adiabatic charging and used in modern integrated circuits to save energy.
