I just completed a new MP1903P4AS Metglas MAGAMP toroid core. It has a coating of cheap transparent epoxy except two sides are blank for the ferrite core. Then excess epoxy was filed down off of the toroid. Next the toroid needs to be wound. The new toroid will be used in the Hue device to see how it compares to the first toroid. The efficiency produced by the first toroid has slowly declined from ~ 120% to 101%. Hopefully the new toroid will start at least 120% efficiency, but old analysis of the Metglas MAGAMP toroids used in "Tiny Orbo Replication" indicates there's a breaking in period.
The book "Energy from the Vacuum" by Tom Bearden is an oldie, but a goodie. What a wealth of information about the Floyd Sweet. Were you aware that Floyd Sweet had a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering from a leading University! He worked for General Electric for many years. Sweet was also a transformer designer. Floyd Sweet was also great in mathematics. 

What an amazing person, Floyd Sweet. Floyd was very clear that his VTA would literally form ice when the output was shorted. This happens due to humidity (H20 gas in air). Floyd was very clear that his device lost weight. In fact, Tom Bearden was on the telephone with Sweet as he increased the output power in steps of 100 watts up to 1000 watts where Tom Bearden wrote down the VTA weight loss as Sweet increased the output power. Here's the graph --> 
Tom Bearden spent a lot of time with Floyd Sweet. In fact, Floyd gave Mr. Bearden one of the conditioned self-oscillating Barium ferrite magnets. Tom Bearder placed the shim-stock on the magnet, which resulted in the shim-stock fluttering. Tom saw this with his own eyes as the the shim-stock moved endless against wind resistance, which equates to power with no input-- just a magnet and a piece of metal. Tom locked up the magnet with the moving shim-stock for 24 hours. When Tom opened the lock the next day, the shim-stock was still there on the magnet oscillating, having continously done work against the air resistance for 24 hours with no known energy input. 
There is not just one type of Barium Ferrite magnets. There are a lot of different chemical recipes. One manufacturer's recipe could be different from another manufacturer. WikiPedia does not have much info on Barium Ferrite magnets, but it does mention 4 different types: BaFe2O4, BaFe12O19, BaFe15O23, and BaFe18O27. There are a *lot* more types. Barium ferrite

It's unfortunate that Floyd Sweet technology is not popular in the free energy community. Peswiki website has hardly nothing on Floyd Sweet stuff. Most of links on J.Naudin's website are broken. IMO the Floyd Sweet device is legit, but he took the secrets to the grave. One thing that's very interesting is Floyd Sweet said the secret is his *barium* ferrite magnets. Floyd also said the magnets must be *conditioned!* Barium was one of biggest secrets to the John Hutchison first crystal batteries because of it's a key ingredient to extremely high ferroelectric properties in Barium titanate. Maybe there's a connection. Also, Floyd Sweet said the barium ferrite magnets have to be conditioned. Nobody seems to know a lot of details about the late Floyd Sweet devices, but I'm wondering if this *conditioning* is a method of helping the magnets *recover* at a faster rate. One thing I noticed about my Hue device experiments is that the net efficiency decreased over time. In fact, one can go over my blogs to get the reported efficiency to see this. There were a few efficiency measurements that were not net efficiency. For example the 150% efficiency included all losses such as joule heating, so that's in a different class. Also in my "Tiny Orbo Replication" blogs one can see notes that Metglas MAGAMP toroid slowly changed over time. In fact, the blogs clearly state that there is a breaking in period for these toroids. So to recap, there's a good correlation between my Hue device, "Tiny Orbo Replications," and also the piezo & diode research. For diodes & piezos I've referred to this as being undisturbed, where the component must be undisturbed before it produces the excess energy. In the Metglas MAGAMP cores there was noted a breaking in period. Also there's indications that a loaded diode or piezo will only work for a certain period of time before it must be unloaded and left undisturbed for a period of time to recover. This effect is clearly seen in my Hue device where the efficiency slowly decreased over time, where it ended in 101% efficiency. Perhaps these cores need to recover. Maybe Floyd Sweet discovered a method of decreasing the recovery time. See the this web page on Tom Bearden's website talks a bit about this conditioning process. Remember, measuring efficiency is the #1 recommended method in excess energy research! For Floyd Sweet experiments one should measure efficiency in addition to weight loss and temperature changes. See #1 research recommendation for details. 





Someone has been emailing about some interesting electrolytic capacitor experiments. He's placed magnets around an electrolytic capacitor. He believes the data logging graph shows an increase in *DC* voltage, but when I look at the graph I only see a momentary pulse / hump in the graph, not DC. It's difficult to tell because his capacitor voltage fluctuates so much. So I thought to replicate his experiment in hopes of getting some clearer data. To do this I'm using a capacitor with much less capacitance to help eliminate a lot of the fluctuations. One issue I have with his experiment is that he's using rubber bands to hold the magnets, which is applying force on the capacitor. The change in force on the capacitor could effect the voltage that the capacitor produces. So I decided to simply place the capacitor on top of the magnets. This is still flawed because there's some steel inside the capacitor. Also the leads are made of steel. So there's a little bit of pressure on the capacitor.
It's been awhile, but people are trying to replicate the "Tiny Orbo Replication." So far nobody has completed a "Tiny Orbo Replication." Today I received an email from someone who just received the Metglas MAGAMP cores.  ... wow, so far I love my new webhost, Green Geeks! I can't believe that when I click on the "happy face" icon in the editor here right now that it imeediately pops up the happy face selection window. My previous webhost has always taken about 5 or so seconds to do that. LOL If I don't get an excess energy device that produces *usable* amounts of power within ~ one or two months, then I'll most likely build "Tiny Orbo Replication 5." The Hue device is temporarily on pause because of two reasons --> - I was about to add some more ADC data logging lines to my PC data logger, but the thought of doing that is very unpleasant.
 - I needed a big break from the Hue device. Doing an unbelievable amount of changes to the core position, pressure, pulse width, pulse timing, varying applied voltage levels, varying the destination voltage, etc. 8 or more hours per day, 5 to 7 days per week gets old real fast.
- The instability effect. Sorry, but this is a major issue for the Hue device that was also seen years ago in the diode and piezo research. The solution was to place them inside a highly shielded chassis to prevent any current surges above 100 pA, to prevent any kind of disturbance whatsoever, including appreciable temperature changes. Well, I don't know how to do that to the Hue device, but I'm sure there's a way to resent the magnetic cores. So it's another long uphill battle. A battle that took me a long time to figure out and solve for diodes and piezos.
- The electrolytic capacitor experiments gives hope for the piezo and diode research in that so far they are no where near as sensitive to becoming disturbed as diodes and piezos, which means the research will be a lot more pleasant and take a lot less time. Constantly tippy toeing around the diodes and piezos to only see them become disturbed within a few days to a week becomes extremely tedious. If my scientific theory is correct, then we're not far away from discovery how to build a crystal / diode / piezo / electret battery that produces usable amounts of power in a relatively small size.
Anyhow, I truly believe the piezo / diode / electrolytic / electrets / crystals research is close to a major breakthrough that would allow such a battery to produce usable power.
Nothing new. Yesterday when I turned on the Hue device without changing anything it was 82% efficient. The day before it 102% to 104% efficient. The good news is that within an hour of fine-tuning, the Hue device went up to 101% efficiency. Unfortunately this time it did not last long, as within ... oh I'd say 1/2 to 1 hour later it faded down to the 90% efficiency *regardless* of where I adjusted everything. I went through all of my tricks; i.e., all of the key tuning spots that often give the excess energy signals. No joy! So that ended the day. It still amazes me to see that excess energy because the Metglas MAGAMP core by itself on the Hue circuit is terribly inefficient. Usually in the 70% efficiency region, and that's with the improved Hue device. All the Hue device is doing is quickly pulsing the MAGAMP core, and the energy from the collapsing magnetic field goes to either a charged capacitor or a Zener diode. As an example, the ferrite core by itself does well with the improved Hue device is in the 90% efficiency region. When both cores are connected to the Hue device, nearly all of the input energy goes to the MAGAMP core. So theoretically the Hue device should be in the 70% efficiency region. That's why it's always exciting to see it go anywhere above 100% efficiency!

Steorn has already started voicing concern asking people where I got the technology for Hue device. Lets not allow companies to own and control such technology. It should always be owned by the people as open-source. I don't have the $$$ like Steorn to patent, not even a provisional patent. It's important to witness the file date stamp that's on a google server, and to download it as soon as possible because google has in the past moved files to different servers, which *resets* the date stamp. This already happened to me on another google server, so that's no longer viable proof. *If* the day arrives that Steorn sues me, then at least you will have the *choice* of testifying on phone to the court. By downloading and witnessing the file date now at least you'll have that option.

Yesterdays Hue research ended well. For at least one hour the Hue device continued to produce 102% to 104% efficiency, and never stopped. Although I never ran it non-stop. I would make a change, turn it on for about 5 to 10 seconds, stop it, and make another change. These figures, 102% to 104% does not include core losses. So in reality it's much higher than 102% to 104%. The Metglas MAGAMP core by itself at such current levels and pulse widths is at best ~ 70% to 78% efficient. If we include the MAGAMP core losses as part of the output, then it's more like 125% to 130% efficiency. The MAGAMP core losses come out as core heat. If there's no cooling effect in the core (sometimes there appears to be), then calorimeter measurements should show close to 130% efficiency. BTW, do not simply plop the ferrite core on top of the MAGAMP core! Trust me, the separation distance and pressure is very critical, and it appears to be dynamic depending on the MAGAMP cores present state. That's why I keep saying that patience is a virtue in the "free energy" community.
I'm telling you folks, *NEVER* give up. In terms of solid-state magnetic designs that I'm aware of, getting everything correct is extremely difficult. There are just so many combinations that everything has to be just right. The Metglas MAGAMP core I use are extremely sensitive, and easily change. Eventually all will be figured out, and it will be easy. In theory, mathematically the excess energy is there. In theory the process should work, and I've clearly measured the excess energy a lot of times. Some of the most convincing Hue device measurements were DC voltage measurements on the source and destination capacitors. I'm well aware of dielectric absorption. The increase in output capacitor energy was definitely greater than the decrease in input capacitor energy. Keep trying.

A recent blog, Invitation to piezo research, shows the well known graph produced by Marcus Reid, creator of his crystal batteries, which I firmly believe is obviously the same type of excess energy technology as piezos and diodes. In this graph you can see how the voltage, green trace, fluctuates by a significant and unpredictable amount. Such unpredictable fluctuations has been seen in all of my excess energy related measurements, which include room temperature MCE (magnetocaloric effect), diodes, piezos, "Tiny Orbo Replication", and now the Hue device. The above graph has low resolution since measurements were not taken too often. One would see further fluctuations if measurements were taken every minute, rather than once a day. As stated in blogs, the Metglas MAGAMP cores used for the "Tiny Orbo Replication" change over time, and it was theorized in one of my blogs that the MAGAMP cores require a break in period before the excess energy becomes noticeably apparent. Several inductance measurements show how the Metglas MAGAMP cores change with usage, and it appeared to improve the excess energy results. For other correlations please see Another disturbance effect. Ultimately I believe such fluctuations are solvable. So far I haven't seen legit excess energy technology solve this yet. Such unpredictable fluctuations appears be a good method to tell if one might be tapping into excess energy.
Over the past day the Metglas MAGAMP core, L2, has changed by drastic amounts by itself, which is nothing knew. Other people have said the same thing about these Metglas MAGAMP cores. Even though the pulse voltage has remained the same, ~ 12.8 volts, and the pulse width has remained the same, ~ 3 micro seconds, the pulse current is now up to 2 amps in just 3 micro seconds! That's without the ferrite core. Often throughout the day I disconnect the ferrite core to see how the MAGAMP core is behaving by itself, and vice versa. For the current to rise at such a rapid rate is beyond the capability of my circuit. That comes to 19 uH! I mean, the circuit can handle it, but not efficiently. I don't have any MOSFET for this type of application. After going through all of the MOSFETs, the best one so far is an IRF530, sadly enough, which gives 64% efficiency with the MAGAMP core by itself. The efficiency varies a great deal depending on the MOSFET. The worst MOSFET tested yesterday on the MAGAMP core yielded only 17% efficiency. So the MOSFET makes a huge difference in the efficiency when the MAGAMP L2 toroid has such low inductance.
I just added another correlation with the disturbance effect --> Use the odd effect, Luke Here's a quote of the added text: Another correlation is my MCE (magnetocaloric effect) experiments conducted at room temperature. It was very disturbing to me how the room temperature MCE experiments would clearly show MCE for the first time during the day, but the second MCE measurement of the day would show less MCE, and after a few MCE measurements the effect was gone for the day. This clearly shows the disturbed effect.
BTW, I corrected a spelling error on that page. Every place that it said "Luck" should have been "Luke." So here are the correlations for the Disturbance effect thus far: - Room temperature MCE experiments
- Diodes
- Piezos
- Magnetic material
- Cold Fusion
Regarding the Omnibus claim, it's sadly amazing what how they're trying to measure the total output on the air coil from a sine wave generator. All three of them, Omnibus, Broli, and LarryC have no clue. It should take any EE about ... oh 1 second to realize their error. This is Electronics 101, folks. The following images were provided by Omnibus. Folks, you can*not* determine the amount of power out to the coils resistance in that circuit! Yes, you can easily determine the input power from the generator, but that's all. Again, as stated numerous times in my other blogs, the coil has parallel capacitance. As two wires run side by side there's parallel capacitance. The air coil is a complex circuit consisting of countless R's, C's, and L's. Indeed, if they knew the exact internal complex circuit, then they could calculate output. Again, as stated in a previous blog, the only way for Omnibus to know if there's excess energy is to do some simple Calorimetry measurements. 

The crosstalk issue between the Metglas MAGAMP core and the sensitive 556 timer is fixed. After spending about a day trying to find the excess energy signals without any luck I decided to spend some time on the side building "Tiny Orbo Replication 5," but then all of a sudden the Hue device started producing the excess energy signals just a few minutes ago. What a crazy core! It's as if it's egging me on, and when I say enough is enough it gives in a bit and gives me what I want, LOL. Anyhow, it's not much, just 104% efficient, but it's obviously far above what the cores can produce without each other with such pulse widths and level of current. It's nothing compared to the 120% efficiency measurements. It's no wonder to me this technology is still unknown by conventional physics. It's just so unpredictable. Although, IMO there's a simple solution. It's just a matter of time finding that solution. The other day someone sent me an email saying the core needs to be grounded to the Earth by thick metal rods going into the Earth. Over the months I too have had similar thoughts, thoughts of placing the core in different liquids such as water. At this point who knows, maybe the excess energy comes from some vital energy that's within matter. I think this is related to the diode & piezo experiments, which have clearly shown similar issues.
I just received an email that Omnibus finally learned that coils have parallel capacitance. Roughly a few weeks ago I sent Omnibus two emails offering to help him, telling him that his common transformer with a common sine wave signal was not over-unity, but he did not reply back. Sometimes people want to learn the hard way.  Omnibus only needed to see the 4th item in my measuring tips --> http://globalfreeenergy.info/2010/06/10/measuring-tips/ "Coils have an appreciable amount parallel capacitance. At higher frequencies this will tend to short the coils." It is *not* fine to ignore parallel capacitance, which is why one must be certain of the amount of parallel capacitance relative the frequencies being used. If one wants to know the power produced by say a signal generator, then measure the power directly at the signal generator. Do not count on the AC current flowing through the coil as being 100% resistive. If one wants to know the total heat produced within the inductor or transformer or component where parallel reactance is appreciable, then they should take Calorimetry measurements. An expensive high end calorimeter is often not required. Depending on the required accuracy and precision, often a $0.15 thermistor inside an inexpensive Styrofoam container is sufficient. Preliminary calibration tests will reveal if the homemade calorimeter is sufficient. Impedance (Z) is both reactance (X) and resistance (R). Wikipedia has a nice page on Electrical impedance. 

If one does not have a magnetic degaussing device, then it's very easy to make a homemade version. All you need is a high current AC source. In the past I've used a 60 Hz wall socket power supply that's around 12 VAC that can handle at least 1 amp. You know, the wall socket power supplies that power your devices such as cell phones or whatever. On the power supply it will say if it's AC, and the maximum current. That's all you need, but it would help if you had an AC current meter. As always, be very careful when messing with AC voltage, even if it's 12 VAC. It's possible for the power supply to break and somehow short to the 120 VAC wall line, which can kill you! Adjust the POT to highest resistance. Then *carefully* connect one of the POT pins to one of the power supply leads. Then connect the other POT pin to one of the pins of the toroid or transformer you want to degauss. Then connect the other power supply lead to the other toroid or transformer pin to close the circuit. Now there's current flowing through the toroid or transformer. Now adjust the POT so the resistance decreases to get the *maximum* AC current. Now adjust the POT to maximum resistance. The AC current should be very low. How low depends on the particular toroid or transformer you using. That's it. The toroid or transformer should be degaussed. If it's not, then you need more AC current. Another type of core degausser is one that produces a strong oscillating magnetic field. The user simply places the core on the degausser, and then slowly moves the core away. Such degaussers are nice, but are more involved to make. Or you can just buy one. Here's a large degausser --> 
Also there are hand-held degaussers. All of the degaussers I've used made a very loud buzzing noise. Fun stuff. There are also screen degaussers for TV's and monitors. They are relatively weak, and insufficient for degaussing magnetic cores.
Perhaps the cheapest degausser is a large permanent NdFeB magnet. Place the core over the magnet. Next, rotate the core as you *slowly* move the core away from the magnet. In order for this to properly work, the magnet should be significantly larger than the core, and rotate the core a lot of times as you *slowly* move the core away. 
Inductance meters are good for any type of core, including square loop cores. Commonly a square loop core will be degaussed or saturated before being measured on an inductance meter to set a standard predictable measurement. Degaussing or saturating the core is not required for comparative measurements. For instance, one might want the square loop core to be a certain area in the hysteresis loop. So the inductance is measured, and then the core is changed in some way such as placing a magnet in a certain position near the core, and the core is measured again to compare the difference between measurements.

If your circuit has some nasty spikes that might eventually effect your circuit, then try using an optoisolator. MOSFETs obviously have a lot of capacitance, which exposes your circuit to spikes. That might be one way my Metglas MAGAMP toroid is effecting the 556 timer. So the 556 timer goes to the optoisolator, and the optoisolator goes to a MOSFET driver, which then goes to the MOSFET. That should definitely protect any sensitive circuit. 556 timers can be sensitive if pushed to their limits. My L2 MAGAMP is being pulsed at just 3.5 us now. BTW, optoisolator are typically very slow, on the order of dozens of micro seconds, but you can find fast ones on the order of nano seconds. A 4N29 is a common optoisolator, but a bit slow.
There are a lot of isolation options, but it depends what the issue is. I seriously doubt my Hue circuit issue is breadboards isolation resistance or breakdown voltage. So it's probably just stray / parallel capacitance. It's difficult to believe that a few pF is too much. I have a few optoisolators, but they're not much better at 0.8 pF. Surely there are far better optoisolators, but I don't have them. One way is to take a diode and photodiode and just physically separate them on two completely different isolated boards, but that's pretty ugly stuff. They need shielding from external light sources. Other possibilities is that the pulse is traversing down the ground line and entering the 556 timer. ... Looks like the Hue circuit is in for some major surgery.
