Holcomb Energy Systems:Breakthrough technology to the world

[Beginners Mind]

Thank you to those who are running experiments and simulations and sharing your hard work!

For Newcomers who may be overwhelmed by the branches this thread has taken, the following concise summary of the Holcomb Energy System was posted on their Instagram page today.  [HES first product will be the ILPG, initial units of which they report are now being shipped to select locations in the US.  ILPG is not yet available for wide distribution.]


"What is the Holcomb Energy System?

There are 3 versions of the HES. All use no fuel, put out no emissions, and have no moving parts:

1. The HES In-Line Power Generator (ILPG): Takes power input from any source, like the grid or renewables, and magnifies power output up to 500%.

2. The HES Self-Sustaining Generator: Off the grid. Powers itself, while simultaneously running any size electrical load.

3. The HES Phase Converter: Converts single-or split-phase power input to 3-phase, and magnifies power output up to 500%.

We are eliminating the need for centrally generated power plants and placing energy production right where it's being used - in homes, commercial buildings, transportation, consumer electronics and along the grid.

Bringing power back to the people."

Hi,

With choice 2, why are 1 & 3 even considered? What's the point? Appears like wasted effort.

Thanks in advance,

Nice work! My halogen will not light at all on 24VAC power supply. Adding more capacitance on the stator side increases the brightness. Have you tried different lamp types? Thanks for the share.

Hi Jimboot, and Ufo,
Why use lamps as loads? Would not a proper load resistor be better?

Happy to test again. My output stator coils in series is 13.3ohm. Got any suggested values? Something equivalent to the resistance of the lamp?

Jacobi's Law says maximum power transfer occurs when load resistance equals source resistance, so 13.3 Ohm is a good value. You need to stay within limits of winding wire gauge ampacity.

For battery testing, I use locomotive braking resistors which are temperature compensated and available surplus cheap, but I'm using 1kW units. Industrial vfd braking resistors are good. Or for a test like you're doing, an adjustable carbon pile would do, I think. Those are common for automotive shop battery/alternator testing. Carbon pile would be non-inductive and pretty good thermally. They're typically adjustable via pressure thumb screw. I've seen all types of resistive loads from water heaters to bed frames.
Good luck.

ps...
IIRC, incandescent lamp resistance is tricky as it changes drastically with heat. Not sure about halogen types.
