Rosemary Ainslie circuit demonstration on Saturday March 12th 2011

Still one thing to try :
Apply the function generator with a series resistor about 10 kOhms.

If it still oscillates during the off phase ...

I agree, and it is doubtful it will continue to oscillate. However, Rose will most likely not oblige in this request, as she refuses to try anything that may jeopardize her claims.

The circuit is built as shown. Verified from both the video analysis and from Rose herself.

The resistance of RL1 is about 11 Ohms. You are correct about Rshunt indicating 0 Amps for part of the cycle, and that the load is in fact being driven by Q2-Q5 through the function generator and BYPASSING the shunt. Rose has already admitted that they measured a significant power in the Gate circuit.

What a mess folks!

There is no way with this circuit configuration as it stands, can the INPUT power be accurately measured, when at least part of the time, the current measuring resistor is not even in the circuit. In fact, it could be argued that Q1 may not ever conduct any current and provide power to the load at all!

Stop the presses folks, this begs for a serious and close examination of what's really going on here! I think we have our answer as to why the shunt indicates a negative mean voltage and current.

BUSTED!

Poynty - what a sad, ill considered, histrionic, absurd - RIDICULOUS argument.  Are you really that desperate?  So anxious to deny everything?  I actually think your posts are now entirely unacceptable.  You need to hang onto your hat there.  You're showing some serious instability.

Rosemary

Guys, for the record.  The energy from the functions generator has been tested to death.  We're not the idiots that Poynty is trying to imply.  And I personally, have a real problem in having to deal with this kind of ill considered 'anything' posted here.   Good gracious.  If you need this argued then I am really wasting my time. 

And what's that 'busted'?  When is that kind of terminology applicable to serious science.  As if we're perpetrating a con.  How disgusting.  What a revolting implication.  I have absolutely NO intention of answering any more of Poynt's rather dubious points.  And frankly - unless there's a way of moderating them - then I"m out of here.  This is getting absolutely untenable.

Regards,
Rosemary

You're going to pack up and go, right when we're finally getting to the bottom of all this? 

Aren't you even curious to see if your circuit and the measurements have been fooling you all along as it so appears, now that I have uncovered your "secret"?

I think everyone else is.

I HAVE NO INTENTION OF PACKING UP ANYTHING AT ALL.  I have every intention of preventing your ill considered assinine and abasurdly unsubstantiated nonsense from polluting this thread.  No-one objects to discussion.  But I - for one - am sick and tired of your infantile posts.  That's an entirely different issue.  You really need to grow up.  And this is the last time I'm answering your posts until they become appropriately moderated.  You are OUT OF LINE.

So Rose,
please post a new circuit diagram,
where we can see, how your MOSFETs were really wired.
Then you can start a new test.
Many thanks.
