I just did a first test:

Hi Hob.

I wonder if the decimal point is missing in that meter perhaps? That would make it 3.1W.

Well done Tim and Hob,
will have a closer look later.

Hob,
WHat does the black Wattmeter show as a power factor ?
Does your white Wattmeter measure apparent power when it displays 31 Watts besides power factor of 0.08 ?

Congratulation Hob,

you are the first to replicate the circuit correctly.

I shared this information exactly one month ago to the day (Nov 15th)

Now for your next test, short the Secondary and add a Low value 1 to 10 ohms resistor in Series on the return leg (non cap side) of the Primary. This is now a low voltage but high current output.
Start with 1 ohms and work your way up till the watts are at minimum. The voltage across the resistor is equal to power you can take out of the circuit.

After you have found the ideal resistor value make a new video to show and I will give you the next test of what to do with this power.

All the best

Luc

Just a note about calibration. I used a signal generator to make a 50Hz sine wave - to test my meters...
- DMM : 3v (RMS) - I set it to this amplitude as my reference.
- Mains Scope (GW Instek) - 3.07v RMS (8.5v Pk)
- Battery Scope (DSO203) - 2.57v RMS (6.25 Pk)

So the DSO looks like it needs calibrating...

I also did this to see if I could trace the x10 multiplication problem I had - but I'm no wiser... They all seem to work ok...

Congratulation Hob,

Luc, I've replicated what you posted here, apart from different resistor values (which you suggested yourself anyway):

If I'm doing something wrong, then perhaps you would tell me what it is?

Is it because Hob's meter was reading 0 watts? Is that why what he did was 'right'? Surely that's a faulty meter... He even had two to show the discrepency...
