Gilles experiment applied to a wheel

without needing to do the math,  i need to tell you that you are way off.  he is using somewhere between 50 and 100 joules.  no need to get excited

W = 0.5 x C x U²

W = 0.5 x 0.000480 farads x 3 volt x 3 volt

W = 0.000240  x 9

W = 0.00216 joules.

If not, then at least one "law of physics" must be changed, the law that says the calculation of the amount of joules in a capacitor is possible with the formula "W = 0.5 x C x U²"

There is no evidence that voltage is 3v. I guess it is much more and there is some electronics to elevate the voltage during the capacitors charging process.

he is getting the 3V figure from the 2 C or D cell batteries that were shown in the video which are being used as the circuit supply voltage... yes, the inverter electronics are in the box, along with the capacitor bank. they look like caps from a flash camera circuit. all i see is a gauss or coil gun. there is way more than 2 millijoules input...

[Rapadura]

Well, the only possibility is that the voltage of the capacitor bank after completing the charge is greater than 3 volt...

Anyway, if the charged capacitor bank has a voltage of 24V, then we have:

W = 0.5 x C x U²

W = 0.5 x 0.000480 farads x 24 volt x 24 volt

W = 0.000240  x 576

W = 0.138 joules.

138 milijoule is not that great...

Does the voltage may have been higher than 24 V ?
