Testing the TK Tar Baby

[hartiberlin]

Okay,
Rosemary aggreed to do new tests on her circuit with the 555 timer being powered by the same battery pack
and will also do a battery charge status test.

I will leave this thread open but this should only be used to explain the
effects with this or simular circuits, but not to be used for name calling or flame wars...

So please be more polite and just concentrate on the technical side of things please.
Many thanks.



Regards, Stefan.

I certainly hope you have the same requirement for Rosemary. And of course she should not be permitted to lie, to make incorrect calculations without retractions or corrections, nor should she be allowed to post incorrect information over and over and over without correction.  I don't think anyone has been as insulted around here as I have been by Rosemary Ainslie. When you add in the lies and distortions she's posted about my work.... one really has trouble understanding why she is allowed to post at all.

Stefan, she's not going to be testing anything-- and if she does, it's not going to be done properly.  She's been doing this same thing for at least ten years... you are simply the latest victim. Do you really think she'll change her M.O. at this point? I sure don't. Or should I say beneficiary... since you make money from traffic on your site. She certainly brings in the traffic !!

So... do you think there is some significant feature or hidden variable that is preventing Tar Baby from being an accurate "replication"of Ainslie's device? Tar Baby is ready for testing now, and in fact has already been tested to see if its batteries run down. How is Tar Baby significantly different from Ainslie's device? Other than actually being available for actual testing, that is. I have even offered to send Tar Baby to any independent tester that Rosemary might appoint, to be tested side-by-side with the NERD device using the same tests and analyses for both. My claim is that Tar Baby and NERD will perform just the same in all significant respects. If a calculation shows NERD is OU, then I claim that same calculation and measurement will show that Tar Baby is OU as well.

And since I will have demonstrated it first...... well, I'm quite sure you can "do the math" as Ainslie says.

What does Tar Baby mean exactly? How does it describe or relate to the circuit or Rosemary?

Well bring it on!  lol

TK, you did probably the best battery analysis test that I have ever seen on the forums!  You compared freshly charged batteries of the same age (if I recall you just purchased them) with batteries that had been driving the Tar Baby load.  Of course I am referring to the famous dim light bulb test.  (Now everybody's heard about a NERD, NERD NERD NERD.....)

I have cranked out reams and reams of text about how to properly test batteries to see if simple pulse motors do any magic "battery resonance" effects and not a single person has ever even acknowledged the logic and thought put behind the proposed test procedures.

So, we know that any battery testing has to be based on some way of gauging, or relating to, the ENERGY stored in the batteries.  Any talk of battery voltage as far as I am personally concerned should be dismissed outright as invalid data.  When I think of the fact that there are people out there that make their living off of essentially deceiving people about battery voltage it kind of infuriates me.

Indeed, TK, I commend you for your thorough analysis of the entire RA circuit equivalent - your tar baby. In fact, I think the tar baby has been so openly exposed and well explained by you, that it's now probably time for your naked tar baby to be covered up with some nice warm feathers. It's earned a good dressing.

Cheers. Good work, well explained.
