@all,

did anyone else find it strange that, at around 5:30 in the selfrunning video (20 minute), Romero
measures the DC at the switch - 15.07 volts.

at 6:20, he switches the DMM to AC volts, and tries, without success, to measure the AC coming
into the bridge rectifier.

The 64,000 dollar question -

    why is he unable to get any reading on the DMM ?

I must admit, he fumbles and falters, and even seems surprised and confused (noted by his
changing of probe location) as to why he sees no AC.

Food for thought.

I gotta say. This has been severly disheartning but much has been learned.

Penno

I examined one of the videos where Romero shows the motor running with a lamp as load. He shows what is under the table, around, on top and everything, INCLUDING you can the the cables that "goes under the table via the table top cap" and I must admit.

What a BS from the other guys to say that. IT IS VERY CLEAR THE CABLES DO NOT GO ON THE CAP AT ALL.

THis video that I am looking at is the one that has "extra magnets". I can clearly see the cap, it has 2 holes and the black and red cables are way too high to go on that cap. Besides one can see where the cables go.

I will create some scope shots to show that and look carefully on the other videos too.

Fausto.

edit: picture is of the "Self-running video with DC-DC" and you can see the CAP on the table and NO CABLES at all. At around frame 2725 (time 00:01:30.924).

edit 2: I corrected the time frame of edit 1.

edit 3: next picture is straight from youtube video.

@plengo
can you please paste the link with the video you are reffering to?

I downloaded the video myself. It is one of those available from the net. Don't we have this video somewhere here on the forum or on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3YqCp84IOE.

Fausto.

I saw that too, and also noted the rod prevented the view where I was wanting to look. The cap is still tilted, and you can see a bit of the black wire in question, marked. I can back up some, see it even better. Yes, the first video did show under the table, but the second did not. The third has no table, no lamp, but also, no shot of the back rod's top.

I want to believe in this as much as anyone, perhaps more, or I would not have spent all that money on parts, but the suggestion of a problem cannot be ignored, if you have an open mind.
