"Stiffler" Cold Electricity videos...

Amigo, why don't you simply try the 555 out? I think that the 555 should handle the 10kHz range. BTW here's a simple tutorial for 555 circuits:
LM555 Timer Circuits

Thanks, I already had a 10KHz 555 built but wasn't sure whether that would be an adequate drive or not. Doesn't hurt to try either way, right?

overunity or not

The distinction is that there is not overunity, which is an oxymoron.
You can't have "more than everything" basically.

The difference is to know the difference between efficiency and COP.

Efficiency is total in vs. total out. It will always be 100% or under in an open or closed system...doesn't matter. BOTH systems contribute to entropy overall.

COP is OPERATOR input vs. total out. Total out CAN be more than operator input, which does NOT include environmental input that the operator didn't pay for so a system CAN have over 1.0 COP.

Has anyone replicated this (haven't checked other forums yet). I think I got all the parts, got the barium-ferrite core with the coil wound and have the other parts.

Sadly I don't have a signal generator (shame on me I know, got all the parts here for one with MAX038 but haven't put it together) so I wonder if I can just use a 555 at 1-10KHz for a signal instead?

Why not use this program, it has a signal generator through the sound card.

I have tried replicating this circuit and I believe I have everything right but I am getting nothing. I feed a 10KHz signal from a 555 and at the end from a square wave it sort of starts looking like a fully rectified sine wave, but nothing else happens.

I'm starting to wonder what else is there to be done since the circuit is so simple...

Thanks for the link, though I'm always skeptical about using the sound card as a source because the sound is built into my computer - if I fry it I'd have to buy a whole new machine...

amigo, maybe you did not get the resonant frequency. In the video you can see that even touching one of the leads, the light went dimmer, because the impedance changed. Also did Stifler not say something about self resonance? Isn't the circuit supposed to self resonate to achieve the goal? Like in the jole thief circuit?
BTW, I am not an expert, I do not know

[amigo]

I'm not an expert either but he did not spill all the beans which is kinda irritating me. If he expects people to take his videos seriously then he does need to dish out all the way and describe exact replication and parameters of his setup that everyone can verify.

New videos

Doc has posted two more videos:

YouTube - Cold Electricity Part 6

YouTube - Cold Electricity Part 7

Last one is particularly interesting since he's driving the circuit from the ground only...

I have been partially successful in replicating his experiment. Partially because I do not have a good function generator (yet) and also because I do not have a decent LCR meter. (I know that's two for two, someone slap me behind the neck)

Doc has posted video #8 and it's only getting better and better...

There's a long thread on overunity.com about this so that's where I'm partaking in this, and so is the doc.

[amigo]

Doc has a new video up (#9) this one with a kind of Haiku on the subject, pretty cool

Everything else seems to be getting better and better, too bad some people @overunity.com are bombing the thread over there on this subject...

[Jetijs]

Nice video, that guy has a sense of humor
Amigo, how far are you with your experiments?

[amigo]

I have been able to somewhat replicate the basic circuit but have ran into a snag because I do not have a decent signal generator. I have built one with MAX038 but it is nothing close to what I feel is needed so I get oscillations and stuff all over the place

I also do not have a real LCR meter so could not wind my L1 to 1.1uH which is another impediment. Online air coil calculators aren't working for me because I do not get the needed effect after winding the coil in that way.

Never the less, there is definitely something with this claim and couple of other people have been replicating it with more or less success. I think biggest problem is people do not follow the rules set by the claim, they jump into changing things around, for whatever reason, or throw accusations without even attempting to replicate the experiment as stated.
