Kapanadze Cousin - DALLY FREE ENERGY

Hi Jeg. Yes, if the two caps are the same capacitance value, and the output
cap end voltage exceeds the initial input cap start voltage, then the output cap
has more energy stored on it than you started out with on the input cap.

CapIn/CapOut is very handy in some cases. About the thermal video I told you about, I never recorded it because I was disappointed about the results. I was fooled with the rms voltage that my Rigol had calculated. It was giving me something like 200W knowing resistance, but water heating showed me something like 14W.   
Nice method though but not accurate at low power systems

Hi Jeg. Yes, I agree, using the cap in/cap out energy comparison is a very good approach to use.

Thanks for the update on the heat test. I was wondering how you made out with that test. I think it's not that
the scope was reading/calculating the RMS voltage incorrectly, assuming everything was set correctly, but what
it was reading was not an appropriate reading to use for your actual load power measurement in that setup.

Yes, plus the inductance that my resistive load had..
In any case I 'll find the right moment for recording the heating method.

Hi Jeg. I see. Yes the heat measurement method you tried may come in handy as well.
