Testing the TK Tar Baby

[TinselKoala]

BWAHHAAAAhaa haaa I am ROFLING all over the floor, laughing so hard I just might have to ROLL ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING.



(The COP>17 circuit from the Quantum article "refers".... ha ha HAAAA.......)

It does work, Gmeast, it just makes an INVERTED duty cycle from what Ainslie has claimed all these years, and if you'd done your homework you would know that already.... since 2009 this has been known.

Of course I don't mind.  Post away...

Meanwhile... lighting up light bulbs to more than full brilliance, wirelessly, is so Old School. It's just a resistive load, anybody can do that.

TK,

Circular track, slot car, loop antenna???

I was thinking more like freeways, guard rails, ultracapacitors and full-sized electric automobiles and trains, without batteries.

TK,

Got any I/O efficiency numbers yet?

Not officially, no. Back of the envelope, I'm getting at least 50 percent of the input power to the receivers. It is not a broadcast system, as the lack of 1/r² falloff shows in the near field. When the coils are properly coupled the power traverses the space between the coils without attenuation, apparently, which means it's not broadcast, I think, and so the transfer to the load(s) can be very high.

But just between you and me, I am amazed. This is undoubtedly the most successful little project I've done in a long time. It's more exciting to me right now even than my SSTCs.

I knew the motor would run... but I didn't expect it to run quite that well.
