PhysicsProf Steven E. Jones circuit shows 8x overunity ?

[JouleSeeker]

Here are some variations I'd like to test, some suggested also by LS:

1.  Different types and sizes of run-capacitors.  I'd like to try a high-quality (minimal leaky) cap in particular.

2.  Grounding or not grounding the blue coil

3.  Different turns/windings on the cores

4.  Different Akula-type "transformers".

5.  My "old" Joule-thief circuit with Akula xformers.

6.  Record frequency for each variation; and run-time with a smaller cap (for comparisons)

Do we know the part number of the FWB that he is using?

Once you have the exact LS circuit built and working, then put it in a grounded metal garbage can with a tight lid. Does it still run?

Would it not be a reasonable thing to try?

That has not been provided yet.
He has specified the core he is using:
                 

Ferrite: Pot Core - (ICH) B65943A-X22 Pic 47 mm 29.8 mm

In this video or the previous one, LS stated that he took the device out in his car far from houses - and it worked fine.  But yes, putting in a Faraday cage is a very reasonable test.

Six dollars each! This Free Energy stuff sure is getting expensive.

My crystal set radio also works fine when I take it out in my car far from houses.... better, in fact. But it does not work inside a grounded metal garbage can. This is because the pink invisible pixies that power my crystal set by flapping their wings cannot get into a grounded metal garbage can.

Does it not also seem reasonable that a bridge made from 1n34a germanium diodes might work differently, perhaps better perhaps worse, than a COTS bridge made no doubt from Si rectifier diodes? Again.... would it not be a reasonable thing to try? After all, pixies love the texture of a nice germanium sandwich.

  Good points, TK.

   Shown below are (SJR + Akula 3-coil transformer) circuits by Groundloop and TROS (latter from video); some differences observed.

  Mark V (Slider) is also working on this, I spoke to him today and he is building, learning, making progress.
