Reactive Generator Research for everyone to share

Excellent Vince!... now you're thinking of what else can be done.

Keep up the ideas and experiments

Hi Luc,
what do you think about my analysis ?

WHat about this other Video that Thane posted in the Facebook discussion ?

I will have a closer look at it this evening and post another analysis.

Regards, Stefan.

Reactive power is not paid for by residential customers. The losses involved in it are calculated in the price of power. Plug in watt meters can and most do calculate power factor and display real power as well as apparent power, one of mine does both the other only shows real power not the reactive portion, it only shows what is paid for and compared to another meter that displays real power in Watts and apparent power in volts and amps as well as power factor.

It is best to try tune for a power factor of 1 not 0.0 a power factor of 0.0 means zero net power is supplied to the load and all reactive power is returned to the supply, none left for the load, so somewhere there is a mistake.

Cheers

Hi Stefan,

I don't know what to think of your analysis!... so I'm not going to comment on it.

What I'm interested in is development and not what people think can be going on.

Build it and see for yourself then post what you think

The only mistake here is failing to see the power factor is at 0.0 (see scope shot) and is still supplying 20 Watts to the load.

The generator test is also a way to confirm it. If a load is connected to a generator and does not reflect back to the prime mover then the power factor must be at 0.0

So why is there still 20 Watts going to the load?

If you don't believe me then do the test yourself.

I will no longer answer any other posts other then replicators who I feel need help.
