Below is a pic of the captor transformer.
If windings A,B,C and D are in phase,then you have a nothing transformer that will just sit there and hum,and get a little warm after a while-->just a waste of power. If one of those windings are wound out of phase,then you have a big heater-->and probably smoke.

Winding F is a nothing winding,and wont be doing much at all--> maybe good for hooking the scope to to see the AC signal.

I am trying to eliminate the last possible conventional explanation.
As you stated before, many farmers use electrified fences in your area.
Also the known system of Single Wire Earth Return (SWER) is common in rural areas.


It is a little known fact, but the earth is an excellent conductor. I have for instance re-routed a spark gap through
2 earth rods, and it worked just fine. I have also used very low power ie an ne2 bulb powered by a capacitor and routed it
through 2 earth rods. There is usually a little resistance to current flow at first then (I assume) the earth forms an ionic pathway.


So BOTTOM LINE:


It may work in your area, but it may not work in other countries or in urban areas.
That's what I am trying to figure out.


By measuring voltage between earth rods with your system switched off, you should have no electrical flow to speak of - maybe half a volt or so.

Hello a.King21,

didn't hear from you right away, so when I finished the series connections of the new 17 rods I had installed I just went ahead and made a quick check on this isolated string of rods.
I already figured what it would read from my WAY BACK data I had filed upstairs  ( ME  ). but I went ahead and redid it anyway. using a DVMM (FLUKE) the only way you can read anything
is to connect red or black to one end of the connection wire and the other probe right straight into EARTH. red into earth gives a + dc volt reading of around .200 volts and stays there - nothing new about that! black into earth gives a - dc volt reading of .425 - .475 and stays there, nothing new about that either! same old story !!!! also this area is a two wire system and NOT a SWER system.

I decided to go recheck the 30 rod looped series for the hell of it.  SAME READINGS!!! whether its series open ended or series looped configuration it does not make a difference.
however do not connect a open ended series string to a closed loop series and ever expect to get a reading!!!  HA! HA!

BTW: I see the same old members keep ringing their bells about their stuck between their ears drivel concerning a mains scenario residential DRAMA concerning neutral to ground problems!!!

I know I stated it MANY times that my unit HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY CRAPPY KIND OF UTILITIES MAINS AT ALL!!  their ole danger- warning- drama has played once too many times simply because its OUT OF CONTEXT!!! you would think they could catch on after awhile! Oh well, I have learned to ignore their propaganda for certain.

If you think of anything else  might be able to help with just post and say!

Thanks again!
Cheers.

I have removed the captor loop transformer from the circuit,so as you can see a little more clearly what you have. As you can see,the ground rods are nothing more than a resistor on the neutral side. The more ground rods you add,the more you decrease the resistance-the more power avaliable to complete the loop.

WHAT A SAD SAD JOKE!!!!

Clarence: Wow. That's a result.  Very encouraging.
Keep up the good work.
We will have to figure out how it works however.
Some of us want to build a smaller system to check out the technology before we spend thousands of
dollars.


If you have a small 75 watt inverter it would be fantastic if you could duplicate your system on a smaller scale.
I know it may seem like a step backwards, but just the opposite will be the case as more and more of
us replicate and figure out what is going on.


Anyway, congratulations on the breakthrough.

Looking forward to your video of your self running device.
