Claimed OU circuit of Rosemary Ainslie

[poynt99]

LOL, you guys are like a bunch of cackling old hens criticizing the one hen who flu the coop and found herself a rooster, Oh they all criticize and condemn but deep down there is not one of them that would not sell their soul to trade places. Maybe when you understand the phrase "Mediocrity is self-inflicted while genius is self-impossed" you may actually get somewhere because I have seen nothing here that resembles open minded thinking.

Open-minded thinking is required in order to learn and consider new possibilities, however we should not be so open-minded that our brains fall out.

In all seriousness, has anyone tabulated the data? Documented the circuits tested? Described the test procedures used?

C'mon guys, let's get this over with and move on to something more promising.

What, Me Worry?


In answer to your 'serious' question, yes, I have. You can see for yourself the photos of the raw data sheets with all necessary information for analysis. And of course there are those damn videos.

And I know that DrStiffler has as well, although I have not seen a post from him lately. Maybe he's rushing to commercialize, before the crowd.

And what could possibly be more promising than COP>17 from 20 dollars worth of components, and a Theory to Replace Quantum Electrodynamics thrown in for free to boot.

I mean, Richard Feynman worked his entire life on QED, and all he got was that silly Nobel. What a tool.

TK,

Just curious what is the volts/Div on the 555 trace in the TEK scope shots?

Is there enough amplitude of that HF osc from the 555 to turn on the FET?

Also, what is the p-p amplitude of the oscillations on the drain compared to that on the 555?

Thanks.

Umm--let's see...no, the amplitude is pretty low, 850 mV or so peak, as I demonstrate in the next video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oehuoaIhts

It's about one-fifth the amplitude of the main 555 pulse. The mosfet is not turning on during this oscillation period, at least not in my setup. It is just capacitatively passing the gate oscillations to the load (mosfet drain). The amplitude of these oscillations at the load is about the same, for me, whether the main battery is plugged in or not.
I'll post a couple still shots of the LeCroy looking at this signal in a minute or two.


(But I'll bet you knew the answers already, didn't you...   )

1) pin 3 output, normal mode, Ainslie circuit main batt connected, load "bullitt1" as in the video
2) pin 3 output, oscillation mode, as above
3) Ainslie Point A (batt side of load, almost identical to mosfet drain signal) in osc mode with main battery ON
4) As above but with main  battery OFF. Compare to #2. Nearly identical signal but at reduced amplitude.
Freq of oscillation about 1.64 MHz, amplitude at the 555 (or mosfet Gate) about 850 mV p-p, at the point A about 550-600 mV p-p.
Load heating is nil in oscillating mode, for me.

NOTE: the upload seems to have scrambled the photos order .  But if you look at the filenames you can figure it out. Sorry about that...

So, either I am still not seeing the right oscillations, even though they quack exactly like a duck, or the Skeptic Force is strong within me, and I'm cancelling all interesting effects with the power of my negativity. Which, I'll admit, is far more likely than obtaining COP>17 from this little project.

Did Poynt think of that one himself? Hehehe i guess "originality" is also sometimes a problem besides "out of the box thinking" here . I am sure we may all be guilty of derivative thinking to some extent (me as well); but think how exciting this forum would be if all the posts went like this:

"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it think"

or

"There is more than one way to skin a cat"

Lol not that "cat skinning" is very acceptable sport these days.... Hehehe, but i predict the horrible shrill sound a live cat would make in such a situation, will be similar to what we will be seeing here; the closer we get to gaining real understanding about this circuit

AllCanadian is of course correct, the almost universal lack of honest desire to determine if this concept is actually viable or not is so thick here it can be touched.

... But i would recommend using the proverbial "10 foot pole" to do so. 

This rather transparent attitude for some here, unfortunately for them, is hard to hide and still get their "talking points" out. It is possible to do so; but not the way these folks are going about it

Its pretty funny how they never learn that. And once their motives become apparent for all to see; their effectiveness is pretty much negated.

And as far as having a photo to look at, is that a requirement now? Would you prefer a "personalized wallet-size" perhaps, lol?

If a person gives their name, and it is openly published to the world along with their controversial work to be freely criticized by all and sundry... That is much, much farther out on a limb than many of these "courageous defenders of reality" here would ever be willing to go...

Lol especially since they may have first-hand knowledge of how nameless nonentities wearing dirty "wife-beaters" sitting in front of their Twinkie-crumb-coated KB's in their mother's basement will spend all their time trying to maliciously dis the work of others.. When of course they have no idea if is actually valuable or not.

... BTW Mom's calling you again: "Will you take out the garbage already!!? Iv'e asked you 5 times!"

But no worries: The truth about this circuit's viability will come out nonetheless, no matter how loud and hideous the cat screeches get

[TinselKoala]

Well, the purpose of this thread and my work here is not to examine a concept for viability. It is to examine the specific claims about a specific circuit. And that's what I'm doing. This "easily replicable" claim is not so easy to replicate after all, and has been shown to be outright wrong in several respects already.
Patent? No.
Duty Cycle 3 percent? No.
Heating in excess of DC at similar power levels? No, at least not in the 4 different operational modes that I have examined.
Now, I have been trying to get that magic waveform so that I could examine its "viability" as far as the original claims are concerned.
I either have gotten it or I haven't. It's unclear to me which, since the only other person who has does not seem to be capable of displaying actual information on a scope trace. However, I am still looking, and if someone can give me waveform specifics I can pull out the arbitrary waveform generator and synthesize the damn thing if necessary.
Meanwhile I can definitely show --and I thought I did, in that last video above--that the oscillation that I am dealing with produces no heating in the load. Is it Murakami's oscillation? I dunno. But when I do know, so will you.

Any more straw men, there, jibbguy?

(Mother's basement? Is that remark directed at me? I laugh in your face. My mother never had a basement...except for the one in Munchen where she sheltered from the British bombers during WWII...)

And I keep my personal identity private because nobody gives a flying flmp who I am anyway, and I like it that way. I'm not trying to promote a book or sell anybody anything. If people want to use their "real" names on the internet, that's their business. If they don't, that's OK too, and probably, IMHO, a whole lot smarter.

Remember the MyLow fiasco? I got death threats over that one, and I was right on the whole time.
