Rosemary Ainslie Quantum Magazine Circuit COP > 17 Claims

[TinselKoala]

Ms. Ainslie has never reproduced her own claims.  Nor has anyone else.  Greg East seems keen to support her claims.  He could always attempt to reproduce any of them.

(snip)

He has tried to reproduce her claims. Of course he rejected the 5-mosfet circuit out of hand, being implausible on the face of it. But remember what happened when he built the original Quantum Magazine circuit.... he found it didn't work as claimed! And on June 29, 2012, he actually has to ask if anyone has actually built the circuit! How's that for doing one's homework? I still ROFL about that one!

GMeast is unwilling to share the raw data, the circuit or the procedure by which he attained his "300 percent" results, and of course we know all about Err-on Murakami's fiddling and diddling about and why he is no longer part of Ainslie's mob of incompetent sycophants.

On the other hand every bit of my work on this topic is fully public, with all details necessary for anyone to repeat it, refute it, replicate it, whatever they might like to do with it. Raw data, procedures, circuits, methodology, analyses and final results are all there in my YT videos and forum posts, all of it is available to be challenged or discussed.  When GMeast is willing to present his "300 percent" data with this kind of detail and openness... and someone else can repeat it and show it to be a valid result.... then, and only then, should he be making his claims of "overunity performance".

If Greg doesn't have a function generator and would like a 555 based circuit that does generate the Quantum Magazine timing, the circuit below generates it easily, and reliably.  A single 556 can be substituted for the two 555s.  It identically produces the narrow and complement duty cycle without shifting grounds.  Frequency scales inversely with C5.

Your work is very good and easy to follow.  If anyone wants to take the time they can readily reproduce your work.

That's a nice design, thank you for drawing it up.

It is also possible to use the identical 555 circuit that is in the Quantum Magazine article. The Secret of DPDT makes this possible, as I showed in a video. The only requirement is that the timer circuit is powered by its own battery, as specified in the article.

Your solution with the DPDT switch is clever.  Floating grounds may be asking a lot of people like Ms. Ainslie.

BTW, why is it "the secret of DPDT"?  Are toggle switches a matter of national security?

A note or two on the circuit I drew:  The T_ON time adjustment does not affect the T_OFF adjustment at all.  The T_OFF adjustment has about a 4% effect on the T_ON adjustment.  So RP1 should be adjusted first to get the right T_OFF TIME value of 401.3us, and then RP2 should be trimmed to get the right T_ON  value of 15.4us.  The frequency will then fall out.

On the Secret of DPDT: It must be a secret of the most secret kind, since I've encountered several projects that would have been a lot easier had they used such a switch. The Steorn Waterways Demo was a great example. When they wanted to show that reversing the polarity of their coils didn't affect the functioning of their Orbo pulse motors, they spent 5 minutes with a screwdriver to swap the coil connections and then another 5 minutes swapping them back, and of course the motor had to be stopped while doing this. The Secret of DPDT was revealed to the lads by me in a video at that time. More applications have followed, such as the rather unorthodox but quite viable and easy application of the Secret to the Ainslie Q17 circuit.

But just for completeness, I'll cobble together an instantiation of your dual-555, or 556, circuit and have it available for testing alongside the Q17, FTC, GreyBox and other 555 circuits I've used to clock the basic mosfet switch.


Speaking of testing, does anyone know of any complete and _valid_ data set, anywhere, that includes a correct and complete schematic, the operating parameters, a waveform shot or two, and temperature/time data for the load heating, that shows any of Ainslie's (or even GMeast's) claimed OU heat effects? COP >17, COP INFINITY, COP 3, 300 percent OU, twice, or a teeny bit OU .... whatever? I don't think I've ever actually seen any comprehensive heat data that connects all the dots, except in my own work from 2009/2010 and the past few weeks.
