...if I'm producing 14.6 volts and 65 amps. ( D. C.) and using 12 volts @30 amp. draw, is this considered overunity? I know very little about the specifics of power-useage vs. generating it. Thanks

What have you built old man? Tell use about your motor , might you have figured a way to control it ? Or is this something else all together?

You know, ask a fairly simple question and get all kinds of questions right back. I've give up on asking all the people I know around here  any questions. I have been called all sorts of interesting names.....crazy old man was the one that I kinda took a fancy to. Thats alright though, my family knows I've got my ducks in a row....they've seen some of the things I've done. How about a magnet that attracts gold, aluminun, copper, silver, nickel, etc.? Been there, done that. You've  seen on the T.V. science programs where a frog is levitated in a electro-magnet that dims the lights for a hundred miles around when it's powered up? BIG DEAL.... I saw the same thing 30 years ago using a transformer from a junked T.V. set. Wasn't a frog though... couple of cockroaches and a dead mouse, aluminum, copper penny and so on. But I digress....yes this is a motor I'm talking about. The one I put together 30 yrs. ago was impressive as heck... lasted about twenty seconds before exploding. Mechanical switching won't cut it...thats for sure. I think with the advances in computer controls and high-strength light-weight materials available today, something like this might possible now. Will it make any useable power? Thats what I'm trying to find out. I understand torque and horsepower, but not the requirements to produce  a useable amont of power. Say, for instance, 6 h.p. @ 3200 r.p.m. Any good? Takes 12 volts @ 30 amps. Should pull a simple automotive alternator producing 14 volts and 65 amps. What exactly defines overunity, anyway? Laws of physics say no way, Jose'. I don't think I. Newton had access to computer, so what was true 400 years ago is not necessarily true today. Hey, Pluto's not a planet anymore..things change. These things I'm blathering about are NOT my original ideas, BTW....just revisiting some things I was shown a long time ago by what I considered to be a C.O.M. R.I.P. Victor Scott a.k.a. Scotty.....I'm sure you're gone by now,  prowling through that great big junkyard in the sky, and I'm not too far behind you.   BTW, anybody got any thoughts on the Hutchinson effect?

I believe truth is inflated and only demonstrates perspective. Eyes only see what is in focus - truth is what logical brains focus on. Most around here are vested in discovery and understanding. Given those persuits truth is a type of dead end - we must backtrack and work another path. Truths of old do not lose their value - no more than the world disappears when out of focus.

Hi,

Yes, I think what you asked can be considered overunity. 
Your input 12V x 30A=360 Watts
Your output 14.6V x 65A=949 Watts

Please read here some thoughts on efficiency and COP (Coefficient of Performance) from Thomas Bearden:
http://www.cheniere.org/correspondence/022502.htm

So if your measurements are correct you have got a device with a COP of 2.63! This is fantastic achievement.  Could you tell me / us some more details on your device?
