It's not terribly exciting, and only has a couple of data points so far, but it's a start!

Someone care to elaborate on this video?

Is it what it looks like ?

It looks pretty compelling, but then again his measurement protocol isn't exactly water tight. It looks good, but it's a short video and he's using slow meters. It would be good to see a long running test, maybe heating a known quantity of water and measuring the temperature change over time to get the stored energy value compared to the input power. It wouldn't be difficult to output 30A from 200W input, if running at 6.5V for example.

Another good demo which needn't last long, would be to run a hair dryer or kettle from the output. Both of those use between 1.5kW to 3kW, so that sort of load would be impossible to run directly from the 200W input. I recall Steven Marks performing a similar demo of the TPU.

There are a couple of interesting comments on that video:

Quote
Wow havent seen this stuff for years.
For all negative comments i  will let you know its real.

I have seen similar and done it myself.

Its not free.energy, but it is most often called it.

A simple.princeble to learn is.the magnifying glass.

Why does it not burn when it is out of focus ?
If you truly know why, then you will be closer to undersrand what free energy devices are.

Most ou or fe devices are fake.
The sm tpu is one of the real deals

This resonates with me, because I remember Steven Marks mentioning about coherence in his correspondence with Lindsay Mannix. This ties back with what I was trying to explain about the energy being the square of the amplitude of a wave. If you cohere multiple waves, then as a result of superposition they will add up and the energy produced will be much more than the algebraic sum of the energy available when considering them in isolation.

Quote
Correct. As taught by Walter Russell, such devices wind up "potential" which, in his view, is simply spirals or waves of light that get increasingly condensed and compressed (multiplied).

He was able to power his 52-room mansion/university using this principle with his device known as the Optic-Dynamo Generator.

He seemed to create miracles with "dual solenoids" for both power generation and elemental transmutation, as repeatedly verified at Westinghouse Labs around 1930.

I agree.  The clamp-on Ampermeter cannot be depended on to measure AC current other than sine wave and at 50 or 60 Hz. 
Another red flag: note his voltmeter shows DC voltage (around 154 V) and he multiplies this with the AC current? to make you believe the 4.6 kW...  Hmmm...

Yes, it looks like an amateur video with literally no context as to what were actually looking at.

I see a bunch of electronics, some basic components like a capacitor and a toroid coil. It looks like a slightly more complex version of the devices found on this video...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15V0gUXUPko

@Excelsior: Thinking about your points about measuring the magnetic field and radiation, I decided to buy some Arduino sensors to do that. I figured that it would be best to get as many data points as possible. Logging the intentity of the magnetic field of the coil is a nice statistic to have when looking back over test results. I wasn't so keen on having to measure that manually every time, because I'm lazy! :) I also picked up a Geiger sensor to log radiation levels.

Measuring the voltage of the capacitor is proving to be a bit of a sticking point. The capacitor is floating and I'm not able to share the ground reference with the Arduino, so that makes measuring the voltage quite tricky. After many hours trawling forums and data sheets, I've come up with a solution. I'll have an ADS1115 analog to digital converter hooked up to a voltage sensor via a resistor divider, whcih will be connected to the capacitor on the high side. I'll then have the ADS1115 connected to a Vishay VO2631 dual channel 10 MBd optocoupler, and have a bidirectional channel for the I2C SDA (clock) line, and a unidirectional SCL (data) line. This will enable me to convert the analog measurement to digital on the high side and then transmit the digital value to the Arduino. It's quite a Heath Robinson / Rube Goldberg arrangement, but it is what it is.

Another sensor I picked up was a 100A split core AC current sensor, which will conveniently plug into the ADS1115 module which has 4 separate channels to interface with. I plan to use this on the output isolation transformer secondary coil.

I've also started mounting the hardware to a semi-permanent mount, because I got fed up of disconnecting and reconnecting wires all the time.

I made some progress with the Arduino software as well. I've persisted the configuration to SD card so that it can be easily reloaded when the Arduino powers on. The web UI saves values to the SD card and triggers a reload.

Here's a screenshot of the Arduino settings web UI page:

Very cool stuff Lee

I am quite stoked about this thread and your contributions; should give everyone a good "leg up" or inspiration to try

Have no doubt you'll get satisfactory results with such precise methodology applied.

I made some progress. I got the system installed on a semi-permanent mount and finished some wiring.

I fired it up for the first time, with 5x 12V batteries in series (60V total). The 11x 6.8nF capacitor charged up to 900V in an instant. I'm only using batteries for now to test the system and kick the tyres. Eventually I'll aim to kick it off in a loop.

I now need to think about the waveforms of the MOSFETs and make sure they're doing what they should be doing, at the correct time.

I then need to figure out the sPWM code and wire up the output MOSFETs to discharge the capacitor into an isolation transformer.

Hi Lee,

Nice progress, thanks for reporting.  The 900 V is already a loaded value as you know due  to the paralleld internal resistances of the 2 voltmeters.   8)

Remains to be solved also the circuit detail for connecting C2 etc, because as shown https://ibb.co/RytJVwC  C2 is in parallel with C1.

Some new toys arrived from China.



4x Infineon FZ900R12KE4 single IGBT switches, which set me back the princely sum of £37 each.

I'm wondering whether to go for a half bridge inverter design and double up the switches to work at higher voltage, or a full bridge design with 4 independent switches.

Hi Lee,

You got nice "beasts"...   ;)   O0    900 Amper continuous and 1800 Amper peak collector current, 1200 V max VCE,  quasi undestroyable devices...  :D

On a full bridge, you mean a H-bridge? or ?  I think you would aim to have a safe HV switch around 2 kV to discharge a HV capacitor?

Yeah they're as robust as tanks compared to the MOSFETs which whimper at the sight of a large current :) There are some nice bargains on AliExpress.

Yes, when I said full bridge I meant H bridge. Ideally I'd like to work at 2kV all the way through, but with a half bridge with these IGBTs doubled up I'd still end up with half the voltage due to the half bridge topology. With a full bridge I can use the full voltage, but then I'm limited to the 1.2kV rating of the IGBTs.

I might need some more.... :)

Kudos for dropping the cash on those, even if you did get a good deal
That's commitment right there !

I'd whimper at the thought of hooking one up wrong  ;D

Well,  perhaps it would be wise to stay around or little below the 1 kV level with these IGBTs and see what could be achieved? And then you could still purchase further HV devices.

That is a very sensible suggestion :)

I've been doing some research into MOSFET resistance vs temperature, and it is quite obvious that the resistance increases linearly with greater temperatures. As a result, the current handling capability decreases linearly. This suggests that good cooling is imperative for smooth operation within the safe operating area. I hadn't really thought about this too deeply and considered the implications of rising temperatures, but thanks to Excelsior for suggesting peltier coolers.

I've placed an order for some 576W peltier coolers from AliExpress.



I'll locate the peltier coolers a short distance away from my device and uses flexible tubing to connect a pump and water blocks to it.

I'm going to use these waterblocks on the MOSFETs:



I expect that I'll be able to use one long waterblock for a number of MOSFET switches lined up side by side.

I'm going to use these waterblocks for the IGBTs:



I'll clamp the IGBT bases to the top of the waterblock.

Yeah looks the piece - I would suggest keeping everything at or below 80% max of its limit - or oversize as it seems you have with that cooler module (in terms of power use)

Only suggestion I might add is, use a really good 120-200mm fan with good static pressure ratings (think Corsair / Noctuna / Imhotep style adapted Bedini maybe ?)

Gives you full control over the fan motor through an Arduino Nano or nearby PC (could be worthwhile)
Then form some ducting to accommodate the 3-4x larger fan, tapering the diameter to meet the cooler.

Could use the heat as PM for a small TeslaTurbine + Flywheel + Axial PMA / Newman gen.  O0
& feed back as PM for the system in mention (provided this doesn't stray too far from the objective)
Alternatively, the extra current could be used purely to cool the FET's (not clear which would be best)

Consider using PEEK M4 machine screws, and, provided the wall is thick enough, perhaps pilot the block with a small tap & Die set by 1mm depth or so (not sure this will end happily though  :-\)
Not sure which clamps you are referring to (Irwin quickgrips??  ;D)

Then use this stuff as insulator (superior transmission to grease / silicones afaik)

Thanks for the tip about the ceramic thermal insulator layer. I had bought some aluminium oxide insulating pads for the TO-247 devices, but hadn't thought about buying larger sheets for the IGBTs.

For the clamps I was thinking about simply using two bars of metal (steel, brass etc.) and joining them using machine screws, sandwiching the IGBT and waterblock inbetween. I'm not thinking about drilling into the waterblock, because I'm not sure what a safe depth would be.

I'm going to be using two of these IGBTs on the output section:

Glad it helps - I'm really just throwing ideas out there. Good to conceive of every possibility and account for it prior imo.
Look forward to the next update  :)

The PCBs arrived from JLCPCB via Fedex today.

I've completed a manual continuity check and it all looks good so far. Now onto the soldering!

I soldered the components in. I opted for the Microchip MSC035SMA170B4 MOSFET in this board.

The biggest time sink is finding and organising all of the components, gathering them into one place.





The back to back heatsinks were a bit of a squeeze. Ideally there would be another 1mm inbetween them. As it stands they aren't perfectly level, but I think that was because I had to bend the MOSFET & diode legs slightly so that the backs would sit flush against the heatsink.

Hi Lee,

Great progress and build, thanks for showing the boards too.

Perhaps you wish to tell some more on Johnny 5 circuit?

@Gyula - I'll post the circuit once I've finished it. It's still a work in progress right now.

I've completed all 10 boards nows. Here they are waiting for a final wash / rinse to remove the flux.



I washed them and rinsed with isopropyl alcohol this morning.

I've also tested them all with a 12V incandescent bulb and they are all working as expected, at this voltage level at least!

Next step is to build a circuit with the 74HC4017 chip, and combine that with an inverted PWM signal.

Hi Lee,

Thanks, well I meant not a schematic, sorry but the purpose of the circuit because I did not always follow this thread (got lost).   :)
