That sounds fine. I will wait to see the new thread then start adding material. Yes Tseung just uses a different slant on the key ideas from Bedini et al on how ZPE can be induced out of hiding. I'm...

Well that does sound interesting and yes, as with the Skinner based system, I would be very interested to hear of new developments.

Would it be possible to start a new sticky thread entitled...

Sounds great. Preparing the next generation to think that such open systems are the norm :)

Hi Gary,

My small scale device did not replicate all the features of Skinner's original system. You rightly point out some differences but I argued that the key issues of the independently moving...

Hi Aaron, thanks for posting as I was just about to write a PM to you to ask for your opinion :) Yes please report on any results from a full sized unit. Meanwhile I'm now looking at the optimum...

Hi all,

I have spent the autumn building a small scale replication of the William Skinner device using Mecanno. My aim was to test the principles of the device, make a series of measurements of...

Some of you may have seen this before but, as a prelude to my starting work on a fully working scale model of a flywheel generator, I though I would post this.
...

If you are unable to download the report file for whatever reason, it can be found, with some build pics in my Dropbox account at:...

I had expected to see a CoP>1 but also needed to follow a scientific method.

The 'South African Developer' has never built a solid state version and the basic idea for that came from Patrick Kelly...

Hi all,

At last I have completed my tests on this generator and so have written the attached 3 page summary report giving an overview of what I have done and my conclusions.

The bottom line is...

I believe it's possible as the original South African developer that I based my rotor based system on uses his to run his house lighting. I just haven't yet found out what the tweek is!

Hi all,

Having sorted my coil driver circuits to give enough power when using a BJT, I have been making measurements of battery charging at different HV pulse frequencies and so far not found one...

Hi all,

After some repairs and modifications to allow me to compare coil drivers more easily, I have returned to test the same four ones that I reported earlier. When I first tested the BJTs, I...

Yes that seems to concur with my findings but, as I have shown in the diagram, there is a good path for the HV to take and the position of the 'flyback diode' does not seem to interfere with that as,...

Hi all,

I have been experimenting with different coil drivers to obtain the best HV spikes and battery charging and partly inspired by the suggestion that using FETs can severely limit the spikes...

The correct term for the increasing impedance of an inductor (coil) with increasing frequency is Reactance. This is why just ramping up the frequency gives diminishing returns. To some extend one can...

Hi all,

While I haven't yet found out why the cap dump circuit isn't discharging to the batteries, I seem to have stopped the FET from being damaged (not sure how or why) and have instead been...

Well I was hoping for a smooth operation of the cap dump circuit but something is not right in the way it is integrating with the rest of the generator. When I have the generator working and showing...

I have attached the latest circuit that I think should work based on the earlier designs of others. I had got R5 & R6 connected up wrong (as shown in the attachment in the previous post) and which...

Like this . . . Looking back at SG Intermediate, where similar things are discussed, it appears that switching the positive will work just as well. The only downside is the 0.6V loss from the extra...

Hi mml,

Based on your thinking I have one idea that might work that keeps my current battery setup with the swapper. As the problem is around the common ground line for the batteries and the...

Hi mml,

Having drawn up the circuit in readiness for the build I have come across an issue that seems to be relevant to the solid state design.

When looking at how to arrange the negative side...

Hi RS,

Thank you for your thoughts.

Since writing that post I have had a chance to get to understand the circuit better and have drawn my own version of it (attached) that I find helpful as a...

Thanks. If D3 needs to be a 15V Zener instead of 12V then perhaps I can just use the same as D2 (IN4744A)?

Regards

Jules

Hi mml,

From your helpful information I have made my own attached drawing which is part of the build process for me. I hope it and the credits are right.

I would need to feed the discharges via...
