Reactive Generator Research for everyone to share

[gotoluc]

Hi everyone,

I know that some of you are trying to replicate the circuit and effect. I also know it's not easy. I've been playing with this circuit for 2 years, so it took me a while to come to understand it.

Better to read all I wrote and take notes of what values I suggest, as the window for the ideal tuning spot is small.

To encourage you I made a video to demonstrate what the circuit can do on 240vac.

It also looks like (at this voltage) the transformer core could also be used to heat water.

Below is the scope shot

All the best in your replication

Hi Luc,
  I have a couple of questions about your latest vid...

1) Would you please explain in detail how your 'current probe' works.
- I.e. is it (A) an actual current probe - with a sensing coil, or is it (B) measuring the voltage on the shunt resistor?
- How does your 'scope show MilliAmps? (Most only show voltage.) How does that work?
- How is it calibrated?

2) You seem to be multiplying probe readings from 2 different parts of the circuit(?) - as power used. Shouldn't the volts and amps be read at the same point in the circuit?

Regards
Tim

Hi Luc.

This is what I see:

Going by the scope shot above, the scope is telling us that the positive portion of the MATH trace is 78W, and the negative portion is 82W. In this case the difference is 4W, which would be the total average power being dissipated by the transformer primary, the bulbs, and the CSR resistor.

So to summarize, 82W is going into the circuit, and 78W is returning, yielding a net 4W (or thereby) dissipated in the circuit components.

Question: Did you invert either of the channel traces on the scope?

Hi Luc, well done,
but when I remember correctly I have learned at the university, that reactive current is also charged by the power company via the house grid wattmeter, as these meters are just mechanical meters measuring the absolute value of the current with its rotating Wattmeter disc. So lowering the current will get you more to a powerfactor of 1 ( where it is IN PHASE) and then you will pay less, cause then the current is also less and the Wattmeter disc is rotating slower....
Otherwise it does not make sense, that there are companies who sell these
voltage-current-phase-angle-corrector-devices  to lower your energy bills.

So please show the reading on your mechanical house wattmeter, when you have this circuit running.
Many thanks.
Regards, Stefan.

Hi Luc,
did you put into the scope already the factor 10 factor for the shunt current ?
As your shunt was 0.1 Ohm and your scope displayed 328 mA is this
already the real value or must it still multiplied with factor 10 ?
How does your scope display mA and not Volts ? Can you set it this way ?

Okay, when you alreafy have the factor 10 put in there into the scope then you have
a pulsating power of around 80 Watts going in from the Grid and being fed back to the grid.

If your 10 Watts bulbs normally would use around 0.84 Amps at 12 Volts = 10 Watts
they would have about 14.3 Ohms resistance. but as they only are fed here with 5.11 Volts
they only deliver about 1.8 Watts each, if the bulb wire resistor is still 14.3 Ohms at the
lower
voltage, which is probably not correct, as the wire resistance change with heat... so
lets assume each bulb is consuming about 5 Watt, so you have around 25 Watts running there.

Unfortunately you did not show the case when you disconnected the light bulbs, but then you must run the
caps and transformer without the bulbs, as the bulbs resistance must be shorted to compare then the phase angles...

This probably would melt the transformer probably pretty fast, so don´t do it too long...
Anyway, your mechanical power meter at your house would probably still register around 80 Watts, so
you would still for it...

Now it is time to find a solution without the grid and with higher frequencies to make this effect usable...
