Hi everyone,

I know you're all at the edge of your seats waiting for someone to build a test device and post the results, so today I made an effort to get mine done and as I'm writing this a video demo with basic test results is being uploaded.

I must say even though the video has some interesting results I will ask those who have hope this device is the real thing to please stay calm and not jump to the conclusion this is a free energy device until we have done many more tests and I'm ready to make that claim.

I'll explain a little why I ask this.
When I first tested the device I used the drill press (prime mover) at the slowest speed and when I connected the load it consumed the exact power from the prime mover that the load delivered. So I thought this device isn't working and was going to post the video that way.

However, just before uploading the video I had the idea to try a higher RPM just to see what would happen.  So I went up two speeds and to my surprise it now was delivering power to the load without affecting the prime mover. So then I went up another speed and now it actually uses less power when under load.
So I shot the video of that and at the end of the video I said I would try a higher load resistor to see what happens and used a 12.5 Ohm load instead of the 1 Ohm load and it delivered 30 watts to it but also used 30 watts from the prime mover.

So there's something interesting going on but we need to take our time to better understand it.

Also, some weeks back I posted that I had the feeling this was similar to the ReGen-X effect and after seeing today's results I'm still thinking the very same way. So lets work together in a caring way so we can improve this effect as a group effort.

Thanks Luc! Good to be cautious. Great video as always. I couldn't tell from the vid do you think the prime mover rpms are the same under load?

Luc:
Nice test.
I'm surprised you have some good results right from the start.
You might want to get a base load on the drill press by replacing the device with a piece of wood and record the motor load at several RPM for future reference.
This would allow us to test whether the decrease is load is simply relieving some drag in the cores.

Maybe put together a list of changes you might want to try and what you predict they might change in it's operation.
Good start!

  Good work, Luc.  More power to you!


  Just as one would not pre-judge Luc's experiments, so we might be patient with the experiments in progress by NASA and colleagues re: EMdriver.

"Independent verification and validation" - is something that should be looked for and lauded, not pre-judged and condemned.

Thanks Jimboot. I'll be doing more detailed tests with RPM and so on in the next video.

Hi Luc-great video. I would like to see what the drill press draws without the coil and core under it-but leave the magnetic gate in the chuck.What i believe you will find is that without the coil and core under the rotating gate,your current draw by the drill press will be even less than it is when you have your load resistor placed across your inductor. I have found that the core's act much like a battery,and the alternating magnetic flux is what charges these batteries,and in your case,the battery is shorted. When you hook up the load to your inductor,this magnetic charge then go's through your coil,and thus current flows through your resistor,so your magnetic power(if we can call it that)is no longer trying to charge your shorted battery,and thus you see a load drop on your prime mover when you place your load resistor across the coil.Maybe placeing a load on your inductor is some how relieving the eddy current stress in the core,and this is the very thing i have been working on-eddy current stress relief.

Anyway-as alway's-great work.
