Solid State Orbo System

[Staffman]

Great find and topic Alex

This is exactly the kind of thing I was starting to experiment with. It was clear to me that an over unity device would use permanent magnet flux to output extra energy.

I have 2 identical large toroid transformers of 300va each. Primary is for 120vac @ 100mH and 1 Ohm with double secondaries of about 35vac each @ 14mH and 0.2 Ohm each.

Do you think these would work to test your device?

I also posted this in the other topic:

Hi everyone,

just to let you know that I donated out the last 3 RA circuit boards Groundloop had professionally made and donated to me for free distribution and mailing to help anyone interested in testing the RA circuit.

Thank you once again Groundloop for your kind generosity.

Luc, I thought about that myself... A week or so ago I contacted someone at Bridgeport Magnetics (tortran.com) to ask what voltage level would saturate their toroid transformers (just to see). They said their 120v transformer cores start to saturate at 140V and completely saturate at 155V. I specifically was asking about their 1-1 transformers. I'm not sure what core material, or number of windings, they were referring to but I think that may give you a starting point.

@Groundloop,

I've been following your progress with great interest. I have some magnetics knowledge, but not much electronics. I just wanted to point out some things we have discussed related to Steorn's demo device on another forum. I think there may be some discussions over there which could improve the efficiency of this solid state device you are working on. Here's a sample:

I also think you should keep tabs on TK's youtube videos.

Best of luck,

Interesting Staffman

Let's see what Alex thinks of them.

Thanks for sharing.

Luc,

It is great that you have decided to also do research on this, and also thank you for your kind words.
(  It is -13 degrees Celsius outside here now, probably due to lack of global warming, but your nice
words keep me warm. :-)  )

I don't know much about you mains transformer toroid but if they are approx. the same as the
ones manufactured in Sweden (Toroid International AB) where I get my mains toroid, then the core
will be tape wound with cold-rolled grain oriented silicon steel. You could probably use the primary
of you toroid at your switch but the voltage must be high enough to start saturating the core
so that you get a shielding effect. It will probably work. It will be a BIG system with those 300 Watt
cores, that is for sure. :-) The Ferrite tubes you have will be a nice test setup for a cheaper system.
I like to start out at a smaller scale and then scale it up if we get something to work as planned.
It shouldn't take long for you to wind a couple of those Ferrite tubes and start testing since you
already have the RA circuit. Looking forward to hear more of your testing.

Alex.

@Staffman,

Thanks. :-)

That was interesting information about your Bridgeport Magnetics toroid cores. I'm sure this
holds true even for similar cores from other manufacturing firms. I'm looking forward to see
some testing of those big cores when you get the time to so.

Alex.
