Or perhaps just a simple demonstration. Does anyone have access to an induction furnace and a modern DSO? Take some measurements on the heating loop of a typical lab induction furnace and compare those to the "kill-o-watt" readings of the input power to the furnace.

I agree with most of that assessment except for the wording:  "how his device really worked".  That is only because the device never did really work as claimed:  The device it is patterned after did not work at WITTS and the devices that JR has build have not worked anywhere the traveling troupe of cultists have gone no matter how many people his scamming daughter gets to hum together.

JR may have been a Dunning-Kruger example at one point.  I think he is fully into the scam now.  Either that or his step daughter has been secretly giving him concussions in his sleep.  Letting them in on little secrets like that they have to square and integrate their funky waveforms to get the V_rms and I_rms values needed to calculate VAR may have little or no effect for several reasons:  They probably don't understand.  They probably couldn't figure out how to perform the task even if shown.  They aren't likely to admit that they should be doing something that they do not know how to do.  That is especially so if the suggestion that they need to do it comes from an "in the box" person:  IE anyone with technical competence.  Of course if they had the where with all to square and integrate the voltage and the current they could easily multiply them together first and integrate to get the real power.  Or they could do something sensible like rent a power analyzer.  Figuring out how to use one would keep them busy for months if not years.

So perhaps the whole issue devolves down to the well-known lack of a "sarcasm" or "irony" tag. Since you clearly must be aware of MarkE's evident expertise through your long lurking. Unless your visits have just been infrequent until lately.

Yes. Brits are big into sarcasm. Much of British humor revolved around outrageous speech and insults. MarkE was choosing to not see that big picture and instead was nit picking. He somehow thought I was disagreeing with @MileHigh, when in fact I was not, but instead I was highlighting that the primary imperative of the power distribution network as mandated by law is to ensure grid voltage levels within set limits. I am familiar with your stuff and many others that post Youtube videos. I rarely comment. My main interest he, and the reason for getting involved in this discussion is that four or so weeks ago I had in-depth talks with another forum to build a crowd funded QEG - I actually live only a few miles from Terelco, I will not say any more. However, as things have progressed I'm not sure its worth the time spent.

As for lurking. To make meaningful comments you have to invest considerable time getting involved with a specific project. I rarely have that time. My last stint was the informous Mylow magnetic motor.

I'm a big boy so do not get upset. MarkE did not take my comment personally, nor did I his, even though I have no idea what a wooden PFC is other than "power factor correction". He is clearly has a great deal of knowledge and experience as I do read his posts. 

[MarkE]

A wooden PFC would not be very effective.  But who cares when it's organic?  Maybe Richard Weir of EESTOR infamy can make that his next project as his company even with the new parent should be broke in another quarter or two.

I think membership status should not be solely based on the number of posts you make. There should be a time component also, else one is incentivated  to respond to everything. These forums would possibly have many few pages if that were the case. The QEG forum folks are poking fun at the fact that this forum is already so long!
