Simple OU circuit developed, from Butch

[Ergo]

Have I had failures? I have had countless failures, but at least I'm in the arena, not sitting in the stands.

But have you ever had the slightest confirmed OU in your 1200 designs?
Well, I guess not, or we would not have this discussion.

How many design have you attempted Ergo?
Something tells me you're just one more airchair builder.
Big mouth, but never really trys to do anything cool.
If I'm wrong fine, doesn't bother me, you just seem the type.
(post some pics of some cool shit you built to make me the asshole)

I was just looking for an update or explanation of the circuit.

Ergo,
I have developed the same number of overunity machines as anybody else in the world to date, including you.
Zero!

Hi, Butch...

I appreciate your frankness and honesty.  As a newbie here but a guy who designed commercial electronic products professionally for 40 years (1967-2007), it is really interesting to read all this stuff here but there sure are a lot of people claiming OU.

It seems like each person thinks they are the first true OU inventor...as you say in your last post here, though, the actual score is still zero to zero to zero to zero...ad nauseum.

I find it weird, given all that, that so many folks believe in it to the extent of spending all their free time chasing OU machines when they admit no one has achieved it and the conventional laws of physics seem to disallow it.  It's even stranger that many, like Stefan who runs the place, seem to think that there are dozens of working OU machines out there, at least from what I gather, yet he has never given away his prize money. 

Oddly, it seems most enthusiastic innovative builders like yourself and Bill Mehess as examples, have at times claimed to have developed OU (like this thread's title promises) but then have these long periods of quiet before later admitting that nope, no OU was invented.  Why don't any of you guys who have had some experience tricking yourselves seem to ever come out with the stories of how you managed to fool yourselves, where you went wrong (lack of knowledge, bad measurements, live next door to a 10 MW Navy Radar base, etc) and all that sort of thing?

You see, I don't think there are many true frauds and liars here...but each time I read these outrageous OU claims at the thread beginning, it seems to always peter out with no real explanation of why.  Seems you guys that are building wildly are really sincere and basically earnest and honest, but have a common tendency to get a bit premature and carried away with the claims at times. 

Some retrospective insight into just how and why that seems to happen so often might be a really great teaching tool here!  Of course, it takes some guts to explain just how you fooled yourself, but, what the heck...we all know you wildman builders have plenty of guts!

Seems like most threads that start with amazing claims of OU putter back down to dull reality in the end as "another one bites the dust".  Yet we never read about what exactly happened...the embarassing details of self delusion and amateur mistakes.  Why is that?  Seems like that's where 99% of the learning is and a lot of guys are repeating each others' follies here because those bits of the story never see the light of day.  Whattya say?  Mind tellin' us what happened?

Humbugger,
The only thing I can think of that would cause these claims to be made when they are not confirmed is Stupidity.
