Possible Overunity

[singerxyz]

I think I have something VERY simple producing possible over unity.
Please check out this video and let me know how I can test it further.

Hi Singer...

I think you are "off the mark" as you say.  I was okay watching your video until the current measurement part.  I couldn't exactly see what you were measuring, but if you put 1/4A through a neon bulb, it will explode!  Typical neon testers like that draw micro-amps or, at the most, a few milliamps.  You need to test the current and voltage at the same time.  If you are shorting the current meter across the neon tester, then you will find almost zero volts and the neon will not light. 

I think you have a serious measurement error.  Sorry to dampen your obvious excitement!

Yup. It's a measurement error.
Srry for the bad news. If it helps, many 'experienced' do the same mistake.

Hi Singer,
Linda is right,
you have to measure Volts and Amps at a real ohmical load.

Just try to see, how much voltage and amps you get on a 10 and/or 100 Ohm load
resistor.
(Better use a 10 Watts type, so it will not heat up too fast...)

Linda,
Thanks for the response. I wasn't measuring the current with the neon bulb attached, I was measuring it open circuit. How can I test it (without 'blowin things up? :-) I don't know anything about ohms. Can someone point me in the right direction?

BTW, I really don't care too much about "the prize" (though it would be nice, and I'm sure my wife would appreciate it LOL!) I really just want to see over unity out in the public domain and I'm doing everything I can to help.

If others with better equip. could try the same type of setup it would cost about $30 US.
