    BroMikey that setup can show any phase angle you like, and it does show
    phase angles of over 90 degrees and the same effects as Bill Alec's
    transformers, I can dig up some 90 degree load shots which Thane would call
    OU, I can show phase angles of 90 and Zero degrees on either side of a
    Transformer powered by the setup. All that is possible because it's a "Tuned"
    circuit and I can adjust the capacitance in the tanks very finely.

    With this setup and a couple of others I can show all the effects produced
    by Than Heins, and I think I can explain the Bitt effect but I need to do some
    more experiments.

    I have shown the acceleration under load effect ( regenerative acceleration)
    he called it and I can show a significant reduction in input power when
    powering a load from a regular transformer as in his Transformer based setups.
    I have no doubt I can explain the effect seen in the Bitt, but I will need to
    build a line frequency one to show it, problem is that I will be showing why it
    isn't over unity like he claims while showing similar results effects.

    One thing to remember is that it is not possible to maintain a 90 degree
    "exactly" phase shift between voltage and current on the input
    because if
    that was the case no energy could be transferred to the load, in reality
    the phase angle between voltage and current is always changing slightly
    ,
    if the phase between voltage and current on the input was maintained at
    exactly 90 degrees the real input would drop to zero.

    Another thing to remember about Thanes BiTT is the tiny load powers he was
    demonstrating
    , the lower the power the more magnified any measurement
    errors will be. A fraction of a degree off 90 degree phase shift would likely
    account for his results

    If Thanes acceleration under load effects are not what he claims they are
    then why is it not possible he is wrong about the BiTT as well ?

    The composite picture from my last post was actually for the different stages
    of lighting a fluro.

    I'm looking for the truth of the matter, I'm not trying to verify any particular
    side of the argument, I just want the truth and I will find it, if other do not
    accept what I find out then that is their right.

    Bill Alec uses frequency in the Khz, truth is they use the frequency that suits
    the coils or they make the coils to suit the frequency, no real difference.

    Dave's Video

    Hey Dave

    You are indeed an electronics master. The video is worth thousands of words.

    All I can think is where can I get a scope that is more contemporary so i can see waveforms this nice. You have shown a very important effect of negative power factor and real heat dissipation.

    This is yet another super validations. This leaves very little to question, doesn't it


    Keep exploring the new possibilities of practical use.

    This is only the first hurdle. That split flux trans is way bigger than I had originally thought.


    Thanks for sharing all your work up to this point math included,


    Mike

    P.S. I made a mistake in a previous post saying that my turn ratio was 1: phi^3. I was mistaken. It is 1: phi^4, or 24:162. The schematic also wrong. It says 168 turns on the secondaries, but it should say 162 turns.

    Lesson in Grounding

    Hey Farmhand

    While the setup you have from the past does not exhibit a Bi-Toroid wave form we (or I) have much to learn about operating high frequency supplies so your comments really do help solve certain technical problems.

    I for one am willing to admit that there is always something to learn from others such as yourself. Not that I don't know the basics about your entry, because I do. Yet I think experimenters need to be kind to one another and see what each man is able to offer.

    Thank you for your kind regards to show what you DO know about the direction that we are going. There is much I do not know about the intricate details of various types of circuitry and I say this unashamedly. What am I going to do? Tell everyone I know it all? This makes me a fool. Not this kid.


    I have forgotten more than I remember sometimes so please refresh my memory so I will focus once again on the subject matter.

    The thing I see with shielding and grounding at high frequencies is separate battery sourcing especially in the presences of high voltages. I was watching Aaron do this in one of his ED GRAY TUBE video's, he is not the only one who i have watched do that, just the most recent in the video's I watched.

    We need to first focus of getting the effect up and running at any freq and any voltage. It is inevitable that we are going to need some serious circuitry for running these simple windings to their resonant harmonic or wherever we end up.

    I think you are right FarmHand to keep the voltage down when taking measurement yet the temptation to see the waveform at higher levels will always exist.

    I will admit that I have been out of touch with what we have covered in most of this discussion so every little bit I can pick up again to sort out in the pile of facts is always welcome.

    Working together for a common goal using each mans abilities is what a corporate manager does. He is the boss and HE tells everyone to jump and how high they can jump and when they all get their paycheck everyone is happy.

    On the other hand many bosses are nothing but discussing heady jerks who make it difficult to work for a measly buck and get only nominal production from the collective work force.

    The corporate world teaches us about competition so THAT part can be a good thing however the arrogance associated with destroying a work mates character in full view of the public eye in order to make themselves a position higher has always ended in a mess.


    What we need is grace, this very important word should be mixed with all of out interactions with one another. I see each one of us doing just that. In the best settings I have worked in no one person is an island unto themselves.

    They share what they know and playfully use a joking slapstick wording designed to get the other man thinking and back into the competition.

    So with that said maybe each one could offer what he knows and when the other man falls far short and we see it, don't make a big mess.

    This is the way for experimenters to work together without doing it for money.

    For instance I need a simple circuit to generate ac sine waves powered by a 12vdc battery. This part is not so bad but I also need an oscillator that can run 100 volts at 10,000hz all the size of a lunch box.

    Or even make it the size that fits into a flash light.

    I know it sounds far fetched but I want a small battery running a sinewave or close as possible, an AC converter using the standard coil method to form what is known as a VFO. I don't want a huge rack mount signal producing generator hooked to some bulky audio amplifier that puts out a low voltage for the rest of my experimenter days.

    So this is a big task for me. Not to big just sizable.

    Yes this is the Bi-Toroid thread and in this field of invention it is going to take everything I have learned in radio work as well as switch mode to pull this job off, so I need every bit of help I can get.

    I won't start a job unless I am sure it can be finished. I have deemed this device worth while a few years back so what you see me post has been something that has been brewing for quite some time now.

    We have bit off a big chunk gentlemen and it will take all of us and then some. Our advantage is that Thane, Bill, Clean and many many more can be seen proving some aspect of the invention.


    If anyone can help me get or find circuits that are small to build a VFO at 100volts I am all ears.

    Beyond that the high frequencies and high voltages do not have many amps to accompany, may be lethal to the inexperienced Joe Experimenter so I advise caution.

    I see guys taking a modified sinewave INVERTER to make the frequency adjustable but this form of change does not give a broad enough range for testing purposes. In time a set frequency will become known for a specific Bi-Toroid coil set and at that point it will be interesting to see if this approach can be utilized.

    Kind Regards

    Mike

    engineering types on the other forum I need arrange the setup and the scope
    so that the influence of a ground loop is minimized. Also for my high
    frequency setup 420 kHz I need to make sure there is minimal influence of
    the field of induction on the measurements, which might mean keeping the
    voltages down.

    With that setup the tuned tanks can see voltages of over 1.6 Kv p to p and
    some amps of current. With only 12.3 or so volts and under 1 amp, my
    power supply is limited to 1 amp and does not take a reverse current, but my
    primary switching circuit is DC and has a reflecting capacitor across the mosfet
    so it can run with no secondary and gets about a 40 volts DC lump which
    excites the secondary tanks.

    But I can load it down and tune the tanks to either side of resonance and even
    down to the lower harmonic. Would work better with an AC switched primary
    but as you can see I get perfect sine waves on the secondary tanks and I
    can also power transformers from the tanks in a few ways, which is where
    I will do my tests, the main arrangement is merely a generator of HF AC, which
    will be a pseudo "grid" for me, reactive power cannot re-bury coal and undo
    the work it took to generate the power in the first place. So my supply not
    taking power back there is not a problem and it doesn't cause any problems
    for me with my own switching circuit which turns the primary transients into
    a higher primary voltage.

    Attached is a shot of my mosfet drain (blue) and final output (yellow) some shots of Tank voltages
    the 1.6 Kv and a shot of a lower voltage and current (blue) sensed across a 0.1 Ohm
    resistor, HF so phase is off.

    The composite picture kinda goes with the videos but is only the Tank shots,

    This analysis is crucial Dave. I need to let it sink in a bit more. On the surface it seems there is something about having a split flux path that is giving us gains here that would otherwise not be observable with a conventional transformer. I probably need to draw up the circuit and apply all the formulas--maybe we can peer into the math enough to determine where the sweet spots are.

    BTW, I really appreciate you using the terms dielectricity and magnetism. This helps a lot in understanding, especially if we view this device as a transmission line; one that splits and creates two new transmission lines. We may even have to tap Eric on the shoulder for a few moments and see if he can enlighten us just enough so we can take this the rest of the way.

    Great results. A tube amp can take a lot more beating than those tin can digital boxes built these days from WAL-MART.


    Can you imagine what these circuits will produce pushing 5000hz at 200volts?

    This will require some doing. Right now we are only able to output a few volts from our puny little audio amplifiers.

    Great experiment showing things that we wouldn't normally expect to see like smoking your circuits on a 1/4 watt.

    Mike
    Yeah, about that.. It might just be my signal generator... It may not have liked sharing a ground with my scope probe.

    Nice going Dave. Thanks for the great direction on this project. Looks like you are leading the way this time.

    Mike
    I didn't want to claim anything. I have been wrong before, but I keep throwing test after test at this circuit and I can't find any potential flaws. The only thing left to do is find some resonance or build a generator to find out as my audio amplifier will show me nothing..

    Wouldn't a direct short be a maximum load? Seems conflicting.

    I really wanted something I could connect to a generator and see the effect of a negative power factor, but at the kind of frequencies needed, it would have to be a pretty small, multi-pole generator running at very fast RPM. I'd be curious as to what you have in mind to tackle this one.

    Regardless Dave, a calculated COP of 14 is a place I've never been. This is great inspiration; definitely something worthy of full investigation. Even all the hype about Rossi's E-Cat... It was only showing a COP of 3.5 and it requires a bunch more hardware and tuning.

    It's going to get fun when we take raw DC power, drive an oscillator and amp, push it through the SFT, rectify back to DC and compare power in/out. Seems to me the chance of a looper is certainly on the table; well within reach.

    Hey FarmHand

    I sure will check it out. Hope you get better. I know it will be just like that. When you are well things are going to change. These experiments like you have posted are changing the face of excess energy producing circuitry.

    Here is a well known for your review.


    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WPpRjSSnAw




    Don't give up, free energy is a myth but with a little input we can get more back and in time someone will have a free running garden light like John Bedini has.

    voltage drop and determine current were not good for that frequency but the
    inductance of the resistors would be a tiny fraction of the load inductance.
    I have new non inductive resistors but am too unwell to experiment for some time.

    Scope probe placement and inverting one channel when necessary are important so as not to get a reverse measurement.

    Might be something there of interest for some here.

    At about 5:40 in the second video I show the traces for the light bulb load,
    voltage, current and power traces.
