Rosemary Ainslie circuit demonstration on Saturday March 12th 2011

[Rosemary Ainslie]

So sorry all.  I've overslept - and we've got a gathering of the clan again as it's Sunday - so I'm busy until this afternoon.  If I can make an early departure will do so.  However.  I should have enough time then to do the necessary.

Watch this space.   

If I sound excessively smug it's because the offset switch held for as long as it did.  That was a first.   Then the 'hammer head' oscillation shape has gone - so it was never due to a replacement MOSFET as I thought earlier.  It must simply have been something in the other Functions Generator.  And the final point is that it's now been taken to 'BOILING POINT'.  That's a first.  I only managed this because there was none of that 'slipping'.  What happens is that the 'input' voltage during the 'on' time just keeps climbing and climbing the minute I give it a positive swing adjustment.  BUT LAST NIGHT IT HELD - except for a brief interval.  The temperature was very high - but none of that scarey 'runaway' effect.

Perhaps I'm getting some much needed assistance from our Good Lord.  God knows I need it. 

Take care everyone.  And beware the forum 'LURKER'.

Sorry Ron.  I skipped what I thought were simply posts from Poynty and have now seen your own good wishes.  There is absolutely NO QUESTION that what is happening on this circuit is, to say the least, anomalous.  And yes.  I've also been following the 'cold fusion' news.  But Pons and Flieishman were somehow persuaded to demonstrate a 'flop'.  They'll need me DEAD before I oblige.  I am decidedly NOT an academic.  So I'm out of harm's way when it comes to peer pressure.  And unlike them - there are more than just a 'handful of students' as mookie claimed, who are very aware of this technology.  Let's hope we'll broaden the range of witnesses to include those academicians.  And - if I can get my head around it - I'll try and get you all a schematic that you guys are more comfortable with.  Poor knowledge of good circuit design - is my only weakness.  lol.  I wish!  But I'm rambling.  And I've got to run.  BRB

edited the word 'decidedly' - I think it had too many 'e's, lol.  And I don't think I should have said BRB (be right back) but - perhaps - BBL (be back later).  Love all this internet 'speak'.  Soon we'll be able to do without any whole words at all.

Ok guys.  Here are those test results. 

TEST
Difference in temperature rise between the extreme 'on' and 'off' settings of the duty cycle to the limit of the functions generator's capacity.

FIRST SETTING = longest on
SCRN.0336.JPG
DATE 2011/04/30
TIME 20.55.43
DUTY CYCLE 81.18% ON.

RESULTS
TEMPERATURE RISE +/- 20 degrees C greater ambient = plus/minus 2.5 watts.
MORE WATTAGE RETURNED TO V BATT THAN DELIVERED therefore INFINITE COP

SECOND SETTING = shortest on
SCRN.0339.JPG
DATE 2011/04/30
TIME 21:07:44
DUTY CYCLE 18.82% ON.

RESULTS
TEMPERATURE RISE +/- 49.8 degrees C greater ambient = plus/minus 8 watts.
MORE WATTAGE RETURNED TO V BATT THAN DELIVERED therefore INFINITE COP

One thing we may conclude form this test, is that MORE power and energy is dissipated in the load as the oscillation period increases, agreed?

Could you please explain why the oscillation does not occur during the time period the function generator is ON? This is clearly seen by your first test with the 81.18% duty cycle ON.

Rose,

There has been at least one member here who has expressed an interest in replicating your apparatus. At this time however, you have not yet given assurance that any one circuit diagram posted in this thread is "the right one", despite several requests (including from Stefan), and several offered to choose from, including one of your very own edited to add Q2-Q5 with their true connections.

So for the benefit of the readers and those interested in replicating, I pose these two questions for you:

1) Do you want your apparatus replicated by others?

If the answer is "YES", then:

2) Is the attached circuit diagram (an edited version of your own) an accurate depiction of the apparatus used in the video demonstration?

A simple "YES" or "NO" will be great.

What followed on from here is a series of shots to show the results from a minor adjustment to the offset. The first screen shot shows the limit of that adjustment.  There was a second adjustment during the test procedure to re-adjust the offset to return the positive back to this position.  I'll down load a few of these because I actually took 15 downloads showing the same thing, essentially, with an ever but slow increase in the rise of temperature.  It rose from 66.9 degrees C to it's final temperature of 240 degrees C.  That's when I put it in water.  And then it took the water up to 80 degrees centigrade where it pretty well stabilised.  I'll post in the time it took when I've checked the time on those downloads. 

Also, NOTA BENE guys, the voltage across the batteries that I mentioned in my earlier post is wrong.  But just note that the battery voltage both climbs and falls - on these slower frequencies.  This is most clearly evident at the very slowest fequency which is when we get that delicious oscillation that just goes on forever. 

Also.  I've not posted all the downloads - 15 in all - as they're too repetitive. I downloaded a screen shot at certain intervals just to relate it to temperature rise.  I think I'll post three as that should be fairly representative.  So.  The first is to show the 'offset' detail.  And two others - at the beginning and near the end - when I had to immerse it in water.   Again.  The water temperature then stabilsed after an hour or so - at a little over 80 degrees centigrade.

ADDED
ALSO Please note.  The actual level of oscillation across the CSR reduced at those higher wattage levels.  But it did nothing to stop the temperature rise. The offset was pretty well stable but I think it may have ended up fractionally 'higher' than the start of these tests.
