This thread starter has been suggested by Aaron and where I am setting out details of several recently completed research studies into inductive pulse charging (IPC). I have therefore offered to present a summary and links to where all the research, the published papers, replication materials and data can be freely accessed. I have posted about this before in the thread as ‘An energy harvesting project’, and given links to the studies, but it has now been deemed a good time to provide a fresh update.
First some background. In 2018, after recently retiring from being a science teacher, and having had a career as a physicist in various applications, I decided to see if there was any merit to the claims of a CoP>1 and of moderate power generation using pulse technologies. Like many, I initially found my way to Patrick Kelly’s material but, despite making very good and enduring with a developer in South Africa, there was scant detail which was technically reliable without further testing. Nevertheless, I constructed a rotor based device but was unable to get either a CoP>1 or any useable excess power.
It was in 2022, after developing PCBs for both the main and capacitor dump circuits, (with Gary Hammond kindly offering advice on the swapper and cap dump circuits), I started to get vaguely more promising results with clearly defined and measurable parameters. By 2023, I had decided it was worth applying my research skills to the question in a more formalised, reproducible and documented way.
So a project was born which was conducted using the Open Science Framework (OSF), the main research strategy of the Centre for Open Science in the US. The value of their approach is that it requires that all the methodologies are pre-registered before any measurements are made, and that all data recorded and results are transparently available for any interested parties and held under projects on their site. This prevents hindsight bias where the results can be compared with what the methodology and aims attempted to achieve and not adjusted to fit the results actually obtained. (A short video explains their approach is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YuNGB3vNOw)
The first study was completed at the end of May 2024 and the first paper, based on the results, published in August 2024. It showed clearly that a CoP>1 was not only possible but closed-loop operation was also and in this case achieved at a low power level of 2-5W. The maximum CoP measured with an 18Ah LFP, was 13.8, but that in itself has no direct correlation with generated or available energy or power.
A second study, to examine where the excess energy might have derived from, was then conducted and completed in late 2024 and its paper published in January 25. This tested whether the excess energy could have come from internal battery enthalpy, from the loss of chemical bond energy as a result of the effect of HV pulses directly on the chemistry itself, a reasonable and common claim, or instead from the ‘environment’, whatever that may mean. The result was a clear confirmation of the latter, but within an abyss with no available scientific models of mechanisms, pathways relevant to how the ‘energy influx’ might take place.
Having achieved these results, it was appropriate to see if the current electrodynamic model could be enlarged to account for these findings. This led to the third paper which contrasted Classical Electrodynamics (CED) with Extended Electrodynamics (EED), which already existed as a new theoretical branch based on evidence from various other disciplines. I came up with some viable mechanisms, including with reference to Stochastic Electrodynamics (SED), a variant on QED which describes charged particle interactions through the lens of quantum theory.
All this was recently rounded up with a fourth paper entitled: ‘Inductive Pulse Charging: What, How and Why?’ And which served as a sort of summary of the work and its findings. This has been augmented by some useful AI generated summaries, from an interested party, which, while not 100% accurate, make a very good attempt to highlight the key issues and their implications for science and technology.
All the research material, as well as a range of videos clips from ESC conferences etc, are available on my website at kerrowenergetics.org.uk. Each page addresses either a specific study or related measurements and analysis and also link to the OSF site where they are also stored.
To make things even easier to access, I have prepared a set of key files which cover many of the main areas of measurement procedures, measurement uncertainty derivation, replication, published papers, and related documents. These are all available at: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ 1I8vH4mhonCwx71RzHKDgKpoa2YEZu7tt?usp=sharing. This link will be valid for at least a few years but Aaron will probably download them and put them somewhere with a longer shelf life. They can be downloaded and used as required, the only requirement I have is that any extracts or data used should be credited to myself, or Kerrowenergetics, as is the norm.
So having undertaken all this, what can be inferred from it?
I started out with a view to try and produce an energy generating device at a useful power level of a few hundred watts. In that regard, I have not succeeded as planned. What I have achieved instead is something in fact more useful for the bigger picture of the world we live in with regard to energy. Providing clear reproducible evidence of a CoP>1 in an electrical context has not been done before in a way that has result in publicly and transparently available mainstream publications. Add this to a reasonable attempt to provide a model in terms of loosely accepted EED, and that has captured the imagination of many scientists and I have updated the Wikipedia page on ‘Coefficient of Performance’ (third and fourth paragraphs at the start) based on these findings.
Usually an attempt at publication meet with derision and ridicule, which is why most researchers or explorers into these ‘fringe’ areas don’t bother and save their sanity. I have some advantage here in that my background is in conventional physics and so that probably helps with mental attitudes and introductions. My very first attempt to publish met with one referee being ok and other other not; and one needs both to agree. In that case they just sat on it such that in exasperation one withdraws it; so it wasn’t their explicit rejection then. I eventually found another publisher that seemed to have a broader outlook, was refereed by a younger, more diverse and progressive team and I have not looked back.
So while so far I have not come up with a useful level of power generation, I have stimulated a lot of discussion and some inspiration amongst individuals working quietly in the background in various
establishments who are trying to unpick these things, to turn over a few stones and see what might be interesting underneath. The ResearchGate network has helped a lot here and makes research available to a wide audience. It is exactly that process that has led various people to connect with me to work on a resonance based system. For more on that area, visited my ‘MRES’ page at: https:// www.kerrowenergetics.org.uk/mres.
In the documents on the above Google Drive link, there is one which summarises the key findings from study one, and some additional notes are in another document and there should be something for most who are exploring this topic.
The replication manual is comprehensive, has been revised around a simpler system without the use of a rotor switching system, and is comprised of basically a ‘drive’ PCB, three ferrite cored coils and a PWM module and the test batteries. There are links to the Gerber file to print off the required PCB and a components list with links to them so one has a good idea of what parts are required and costs.
It was always never my intention to suggest what the limits might be of this topic but rather to open a doorway. There will be, and should be, others who will draw upon the data generated by those who have found something useful to contribute and use it to reach new heights of discovery. They can and should stand on the shoulders of those who have done before, as has been the tradition of the all pioneers throughout history, both those we know of and those we don’t. No one has a complete picture of Nature and each brings a new perspective to a theme which some may resonate with and others may simply acknowledge and move on to look elsewhere.
As I said above, I am unable to take part in any forum thread discussion since, as a teacher, I would inevitably feel drawn in and I simply don’t have the time or energy required for that alongside all my other developmental activities.
I hope that can be understood and accepted and I wish all who venture in to find something that be of help to them on their personal journey.
As I quote in the manual:
“This work is dedicated to those who dare to question that which others assume”.
Bon voyage!
