If you go to the part 2 and 3  videos  you will see diagrams and explanations..

Seems this guy  was used capoacitors in paralel not in series....

OK,

You have the 4 unknown/hidden components connected in a circuit in front of you, and all you have to do is place your meter probes across each one and write down the voltage, including if the meter reading is "+" or if it is "-". Are you with me so far?

Sorry, done for the day. I'm on my way out to a New Year eve thing.

Happy New Year to all

Ditto, Happy New Year to all.

Have a good time Luc.

btw, I think you're only a few baby steps away from understanding.

Dear Farmhand,

are you reading my posts?... if so, then you are avoiding to explain what I ask you to explain and just ranting about this or that and all this is not real.

No one is forcing you to accept anything, so believe what you want. I have never made any claims of OU, so why have you been writing that in your posts.

Move on mate if this is not for you. One more unproductive post of this kind and you will be blocked from this topic.

Dear Luc,

Well if you are not claiming any extra energy then what exactly are you claiming ?

Might be handy if you explain what advantage it is that you see to doing this.

And your thread got locked, this is not your thread. If you are the moderator of this thread I want nothing to do with it anyway.

Tinman, I can't explain what I haven't seen. How much is the load and how big is the generator ?  I would guess that as soon as you start the generator there is fuel being used due to some drag from the generator head, maybe it is possible that there is some load but you just cannot notice it. I'll bet any money that if you power the load at 0.0 power factor for long enough the generator will run out of fuel. This is my point, would you run your generator 24/7 so the next door neighbor can draw a load at power factor 0.0 and not pay anything to you ? That is considering if you do not know the neighbor or have any friendship with them to cause you to want to do it.

With our 6 kVA generator a small load is not even noticed. And I was surprised how much power it generates and for how long a time on a tank of fuel, but it makes one hell of a noise. 

As long as the petrol station has fuel it is very useful for when the grid goes down. It doesn't cost all that much to power the house with it for a day. But I would not like to pay to run it 24/7 even at idle. It is still in almost brand new condition because we don't use it much, but it will wear out and require maintenance as well after some use.

Im not claiming that there will be no load,infact im saying the opposite.Disregarding normal friction load,these generators place a load on the prime mover even befor any power is drawn from the generator. My point of the experiment is to show where this load is,and how you can draw from this load without it effecting the prime mover. This will also show why Luc sees no reflection on the prime mover when he places a load on the generator through his reactive circuit-no matter what that circuit may be. Infact there is no need for any type of reactive circuit at all to be able to draw power from the generator,without it showing or reflectiong on the prime mover.

This ofcourse all depends on my theory being correct-and i have been wrong many times befor. But it is the only answer i have for what Luc's original generator setup show's. So now we just have to build it and see.
