PhysicsProf Steven E. Jones circuit shows 8x overunity ?

The field surrounding an electrified form, which is magnetic in nature, and yes, swirling, is not what causes the field to form. The electric energy is the force creating it, yes. But what is it that the electric energy acts upon, to form the magnetic flux lines? Electrons? How can a thing act upon itself to form another energy signature? That would be like wind glowing. The electron is the charge carrier apparently, acting upon....what....to form the magnetic field which is in proportion to the amperage content.....meaning the two are linked, magnetism and amperage. .......Now, there is a big hint!!

While it doesn't seem to quite fit with the last half of your reply above nor will it probably even sound sane to most people I keep coming back to photons as a possible answer to what energy acts upon to form magnetic flux lines.   A quote from an online source: " A Photon is the force carrier for electromagnetic force."  Just another wild shot in the dark  ...

 Again, the theoretical discussion is interesting, but to me, experimental studies are more likely to be productive of substantive results. 

Thanks again to Lasersaber for your build -- and if you're reading:   Just how did you connect your larger cylindrical coil into the circuit?  and what kind of coil was this? 
Thanks, all.

I decided to jump in and give this circuit a try.  I ended up modifying it.  I am excited by what I have seen so far.  I plan on trying a few more thing to improve the efficiency even more.

Thank you PhysicsProf for sharing.

Agree.  It would be good if frankly started his own thread. 

I think the coil is one of lasersabers coils from his JouleRinger circuit or similar to those he used in that fun little circuit.  I even gave that one a try and got about 4.5 minutes of light from a CFL off just the capacitor.  It's a bifilar wound coil.

@Frankly

Sincerely and honestly, you must be half a genius.

Actually, you managed to get Nul-Points (the misnamed) loosing his temper
but not his English Humour, (hence the halving).

Yes, theoretical issues are very interesting  but Sadi Carnot did not invent
the Stream machine and serendipity exists.

Very Best

Ps: I'm aware that this post will not be of any help regarding your experiments.

Very interesting results reported by Dr. Jones for the electronic circuit.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to measure the input-output power ratio - without using a state of the art oscilloscope?  For example, a diode bridge with a capacitor - or perhaps a way to make the circuit self-running etc?

I am not a fan of testing alternative energy devices for light output with the human eye, or a battery that does not run down etc.  We want to do 'real science' with real repeatable measurements.

Comments anyone?
