There is an interesting generic issue that is illustrated with that clip that supposedly demonstrates a Kapanadze device.
If we are going to assume that the inventor is open-sourcing his or her device, why is there so much that is shrouded in mystery? It seems that there are almost always a few variations of the schematic available, and nobody knows if the schematic is complete or not or if a given schematic works or not. Then there is usually a series of clips made by the inventor and the replicators, and almost all of the time they are unclear and there is almost never any attempt made to establish some credibility by panning the camera around to show that there are no hidden power sources, no hidden wires, etc.
In the clip linked to a few posts back, you basically see a rat's nest of wires and components on a small table. There is never any attempt to show you that there is nothing under the device, nothing around the device, etc. The overall presentation is pretty awful. I think that I saw the original Kapanadze device clip also. It looks like an outdoor garden party with a bunch of people standing around and it's impossible to tell what's going on. There are lots of ways to sneak a mains power connection into the setup.
If the inventor wants to open-source his or her invention then they should be very clear with respect to everything. Another thing that you almost never see is a timing diagram. The timing diagram could show you how the device operates and show you the activity for all of the critical voltages and currents in the circuit. In theory, there is no reason that the timing diagram could not show exactly where and when the over unity mechanism takes place.
On the actual Kapanadze thread in this forum, Poynt uploaded two schematic diagrams from J.L. Naudin that use a microwave oven transformer. They are both ostensibly "self runners" according to the annotations in the schematic diagrams. When I look at those two schematics I can see how they work as long as they are connected to the mains power, but once you disconnect the mains power they won't self run, they will be as dead as a proverbial doornail. Some of you may disagree, so the question is "how can you explain the self-running?"
I notice that these two schematic diagrams are almost identical. The earth ground connections may have a marginal affect on the circuits, but not much. The circuits make use of high voltage, and sharp transients. I know that some of you believe that high voltages and sharp transients will make something special happen. As suggestion for a good exercise, why don't the Kapanadze enthusiasts try to make timing diagrams for those two Naudin/Kapanadze circuits? This will be equivalent to dissecting the circuit to see what makes it tick. I get the feeling that you are excited to replicate a given device and then try it out to see if you get over unity. I am suggesting that you try to look inside the device to see what is going on first. If you could do the timing diagram for the Naudin circuit, then for whatever device you plan on building, you could build it and at the same time try to do the timing diagram for it. Bedini is another good example. Bedini enthusiasts never make timing diagrams, but they talk all the time about "tuning" their motors for the optimum performance. Having a timing diagram for a properly tuned Bedini motor would be a great help for someone trying to build one.
UPDATE: There is something critical that I didn't catch about the two Naudin diagrams. In the diagram "naudin_kapagen_one_ground.jpg" there is something very screwy about the main transformer. The 90-turn coil and the 6-turn coil are in the same current loop. Therefore for that schematic the transformer doesn't even work like a transformer, it simply acts like a series inductor. The schematic "naudin_kapagen_one_ground_without_center.jpg" is the good one, that one will work with 90T/6T transformer functioning properly.
For the timing diagram, you could do it based on your understanding of how the device should operate, or on your actual measurements. Some of your assumptions may be correct, some of your assumptions may need to be corrected and the timing diagram updated. At the end of the process you could have a timing diagram that precisely describes how the device works.
To go back to my earlier theme, the enthusiasts should challenge the people that release these setups, like Kapanadze, to properly document what they are doing, and to make clips that are clear and unambiguous. I suppose that's a tall order, a "wish list" item.
