WHOOPS I meant 44k (44000uf)

I understand Nali2001 used a 440K cap which is almost 10 times larger (not smaller!) than 47K and resistance at 10Ohms compared to 12Ohms is pretty close (within 25% error margin) .
Was the cap 440000uF or it was a typo?

@ Nali2001,
@ Hoppy,

Many, many thanks!

One more question if you are kind to answer: Is the LED on the output or is it on the input-side of the DC2DC converter’s circuit?
Only if the led is on the output side, could you check if it goes on when a small voltage (3V or so shall do it) is applied to the OUTPUT side? (This issue was raised by nul-points).

I really appreciate your prompt help!

...anybody get a feeling of Deja Vu about all this? 


from this thread, May 10...


etc.,

etc.,

etc.,

shall we ask all naysayers to come back every 7 days and ask the same old, same old?

and then we can jump through the hoops all over again

after all, we have plenty of time to waste, don't we? 

@nul-points

I think Tinu has seen many instances of fakes and he is just trying to do his best to make sure we're not going on a wild goose chase like in MyLow's low-class act! This capacitor discharge if inline will help disprove but the final successful replications will really leave no doubt.

cheers

Guys, just my 2 cents, remember RomeroUK mentioned he ran it for a few hours

@All,

Someone with access to the DC2DC Converter should do an efficiency
chart of power-in vs power-out, using various resistive loads at
the 15VDC input specified. The DC2DC converter is a good idea for
regulating voltage. I'd like to cautiously suggest that if there is a
toroid in the converter circuit that it itself might be overunity.
This would be for a switching regulator. A linear regulator is much
less efficient.

When I suggest closing the the loop with commercial devices I suggest
knowing, even if approximate, the power efficiency of any device
in the loop, so you can factor that into your calcs. Also it somewhat
disingenuous assuming that a device is not itself overunity when
you are trying to build a system yourselves. Don't forget, you can't
meaningfully measure power with pulses present - you must use
capacitors so that the voltage and current values remain within error
bars for the one second instrument gating period of inexpensive DVM's.
Then milliamps time volts equals milliwatts

My laptop power supply has a led indicator light.  sometimes it stays on for up to a minute after I unplug it.   
My laptop must be a fake. It is good to be a skeptic.  Science needs it.  But do not debunk without a try.
Also lid motors first video with his incomplete setup is lighting an led full bright by just spinning the rotor with fingers from the flyback of the reed..  imagine that at a few thousand rpm's.
