Energy from the Ground - Self powered generator by Barbosa and Leal

I asked a Georgian friend about the type of lamps in use in Georgia.  The were at that time mostly old Soviet incandescent lamps rated at 1 kw.  I was surprised at that, but I was assured that they are quite common in that part of the world.
The highest  in the UK were 150 watt lamps.

Good going on the light bulbs,this sets the power generated by the 2004 and green box devices.
I believe you on the bulbs,they must have a lot of fires caused by this of type bulb,they must get very hot.
Heres a question on the aquarium 2,video,in most Kapanadze video's,it shows the start up of the device.
In the aquarium 2, the video is started after it turns on,there appears to be 2 push button type of switches
and another switch  possibly a turn on/off switch.What sequence is the starting.I believe he uses
two of the 12vac windings on the transformer to start.One way would be the the son/off switch is turned to on,and the push buttons
are pushed at the same time,until it starts.Also is there any HR pictures with a side view of the transformer
this would show if he glued the small wires or drilled a small hole or slipped them under the frame of the top.

Thanks for this info which I think rules out my wild guess that the lamps a bit special.

The device was started with a 9 volt pp3 type battery. He simply touched it onto the terminals and then the device started.
I've had a look at those  black "wires" and conclude that they are the result of poor manufacturing, and could well be shadows.
I'll see if I've a side view.
My gut is that TK uses  a BITT type of device at high frequency to deliver the output. Even if he was wiring in (cheating) I cannot account for the lack of heat or lack of ventilation holes to deliver 2 kw for 4 and a half hours without a break.
We have to be scientific here and figure out the size of trafo you need.
My understanding is that the size of trafo is dependant on the frequency. ie 50 hz equals European standards, but you can power a resistive load at any frequency provided you have the watts.  A high frequency would therefore lower the size of the trafo you need.
This "proves" what Tariel said to me to be correct ie that his device uses high frequency and not high voltage.
When the team looked at his device at the end there was no heating on the aquarium 2 box whatsoever.
It was really spooky, if you think about it.

The green coloured 3-phase trafo shown has an iron core, so would not work efficiently at very high frequencies as its designed for grid frequency working. High frequency transformers of the type used in switched-mode power supplies have ferrite cores. The size is not the governing factor, its the core material. Having said that, TK may have discovered or been told about a way of using this 3-phase transformer in an unconventional way.
