I played with this in falstad... I didn't save the sim since it's just a AC voltage source, a cap, and 2 resistors... Tried removing the direct AC source through a transformer but that I think wasn't behaving quite right... But


I learned; if you use too much capacitance, then you delay the current to the next phase... which tells me that the current isn't in advance of the voltage, but is 1/4 lagged...

If the current flows, then it would imply that a voltage should follow... (a magnet moving near a coil makes the voltage change because of a current; there is no source potential in this case...)

The smaller the capacitance, the less current can flow through the load.
I found for a 60Hz wave with 10Ohm load, that 50-75uF were good.  at 100 it started lagging the current into the next pulse... and at 150 it ended up removing the phasing difference....

Small is good; so it can charge reasonably high from a current flow... especially if from a coil... too big and it takes too long to fill;

Given a 'infinite' source... On the power side in the simulator; the power was + and - X watts for + and + X watts on the load ....

On some oscilloscopes you can plot X/Y... so you can have current on one side and voltage on another... The smaller the capacitance, the more cicular this is; the more balanced...as the capacitance increases... the circle skews and becomes eliptical... so the voltage is returning as there's still a current...  A linear circuit ends up being a diagonal line; where X = Y; V = I... Falstad has such options too... I know that old timers used to make advantage of that; so the skew would show good/bad characteristics... and spirals and ... cardiod shapes...

Thanks Poynt

looking forward to your video tutorials on how to use scope math properly. This will be very helpful to many, as there is little information out there on this.

A video demo is the best teaching tool and hopefully I will be able to learn something. If I come to understand that I did do something incorrect with my scope measurements I will be more than happy to delete the tutorials and redo them.

Please note, my tutorial were not to demonstrate how to use a scope. So no need to get on your high horse about that. The Tutorials are to demonstrate how to get the effect by using certain values of Capacitors, Resistors and the effects at different Voltages. The scope was used to show what is happening with these different values.

Truthfully, I don't care that much about what the scope can calculate. The real test to me is the Generator. So I do hope you will have a Generator to test the correctly tuned circuit and can clearly explain why the circuit has no effect to the Gen Prime Mover. Also why this effect would not be useful

Thanks for taking the time to do this.

I keep hearing from people with much knowledge that if the wave form is not sinusoidal the meters and the scope cannot calculate power properly.

It does not concern me if people take what I say for a grain of salt, my only objective is to show that some people see it another way.

This reminds me a lot of Thanes stuff and Gotoluc had a close relationship with Thane. I don't buy any of it I won't believe what makes no sense.

And eventually I will probably make some video's to demonstrate what I think is going on, after the holidays. I'm in no hurry, the deeper people dig the easier they are to bury.

I also noticed that series capacitors can change the wave form.

I have previously made a small transformer appear to show OU by manipulating the phase angle, and driven by a sine wave. Using a function generator and a RIGOL DS 1052E scope. I had a 90 degree difference of phase between voltage and current so a power factor of 0.0 but there was still output and most importantly there was still input.

Series capacitors are current limiters. For a given frequency and capacity only a certain current can flow.

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.

Hi everyone,

a researcher named Dog-One has been playing with the circuit with a Java Simulator and has made a video demo.

At everyone,

A group of experimenters at RWG Research forum have been researching looped generators and found my research and already built a Generator using the Series Capacitor effect.

User Matt Watts may soon have his looped.
