MileHigh, you're right-absolute magic. At least after all this time something good
has come from this thread,

Sigh....

Not to much exciting happening....  "The bench technician and the IP telephony guy and the teleported hippie girl that changed the world."

The Florida clips..... what can I say?   You should see what it's like when I try to play a guitar.

@isim:

Thanks for running those numbers. I just checked the capacitors in the tank on the unit I measured: there are 10 ea. 0.0056 uF poly-film caps in parallel, so the total capacitance should be 56 nf instead of 60 nf (but also there will be tolerances). I can't actually measure the total without unsoldering stuff, though...

I have confirmed the Input Power DMM readings using the oscilloscope and a 1-ohm current viewing resistor. The DMM readings of input current and voltage are correct as shown on the meters!

Around  30-40 A rms in the tank is what I have always figured for this apparatus, and it looks like your calculations are coming close to that.

Below, you can see the R and L measurements of one of the L1, L2 chokes. These are Radio Shack brand 100 uH chokes. In other versions of this apparatus I have used choke values down to 60 uH without problems.

Here is a dodgy video showing a large tank activity with a tiny input. At about 2:45 in the video I scope the primary coil and show
150 volts point to point but it's not sinusoidal, primary coil is ten turns of 1 mm wire. Frequency about 840 kHz around about.

The input is in the order of 4 watts with all that tank activity. I would not call it reactive power, I call it oscillating power.

Video is from 2 years ago take it easy on me.  I still have the equipment.

QuoteFor the benefit of Evens' team in Canada... here's the update for the Sciencey types:

Evens, our resident physicist, has proposed a brilliant solution for self running, so we have wound coils around the core, that is 99 turns around the secondary circuit and 18 turns around the primary to make use of something known as an Avector field (discovered by Gennady Markov) that is generated (for free) around the core as it resonates.

We performed a test run and successfully converted 114V of reactive power down to 12V real power, enough to drive a small 12 Volt motor.

We are now gearing up for a the first test where we attempt to convert 2000V down to 240V @ 3A enough to drive the motor that runs the QEG...

Confidence is HIGH

What happened?!

They probably drove a small unloaded 12-volt motor.  Perhaps less than 0.5 watts?

0.5 watts to 720 watts!  Waiting for the great leap forwards!
