The Gabriel Device, possible COP=8

Thanks for starting a summary document although I think PDF format would be more universal for everyone.  I know that even if you don't have MS Word you can get an open source program to open .doc files but not everyone may want that whole suite you generally have to install.  I found a PDF viewer with a built in typewriter tool and in every way the PDF viewer is better than Adobe or Foxit PDF by far IMO.  So it's easy to edit with this too.  It's PDF-XChange viewer and it is totally FREE.  Google it or grab it here or any number of places: http://download.cnet.com/PDF-XChange-Viewer/3000-10743_4-10598377.html     Stuff from CNET is guaranteed virus and trojan free. 
 
Attached is my conversion of the .doc file (135 Kbytes vs. 419 Kbytes for the .doc file - another reason I prefer PDF's)

So the power amp kicks butt!!!

I rewound it all day and tried the opposite of stepping up the voltage and wound it to step it down, got consumption down to around 2.60 amps @ 120 volts with a 48 volt output on the secondary and 1.3 amp drawn, when I did this the amperage on the primary dropped to a total of 1.66 amps total wattage 199.2 watts... with 4 lights being lit each light drawing in 48 volts and .3 amps total wattage of 230.4 so getting better! with a difference  of 31.2 watts for free power factor of .8

So then I threw it on the poweramp, interesting results, even tho its wound for a step down in voltage every 1 volt I put in on the primary I got 1.7 on the secondary! Its not quite overunity yet on the power amp but Im confident this next rewind will get us to it. I feel much better not playing with deadly electricity! Now I can't measure the powerfactor on the poweramp but I assume everything is returned to the source so if thats the case the poweramp gave us 12 watts for free.

Glad you got some more tests in Mav.  I'm probably confused on the numbers you just posted so I'm asking for clarification on the output numbers.  You said 4 lights at 48 volts each drawing 0.3 amps?  Which when I run Ohms law gets 14.4 watts per bulb times 4 for a total of 57.6 watts being drawn.  I am seeing that if I multiply that 57.6 times 4 again then I see 230.6 so is there a math error somewhere in your calcs or am I  misunderstanding something?

hrmmm... The power amp works.. winding for step up.

Hey Mav

What amp are you using? 

Im working on some multi core stuff. Im getting my amps out of storage tomorrow.  I dont know why I hadnt thought of it long ago. Instead I was driving some hard hittin woofers, now Ill be drivin some flux multiplying inductors. ;]

If you dont mind, what ohm is your primary?

Good stuff mav
