here's a transcript.. sorry if i made mistakes, i dont understand what
aii is..

What we are going to do today is to address some of the concern made after
the last experiment, which is to know whether or not a change in the
inductance of the coils due to the magnets on the rotors, induced a changed,
in the current, through the coils.

this is a coil, and we are measuring its inductance with this LCR meter so i
am connecting two kelvin probes to it.
and as you can read, on the LCR meter, its inductance is 306millihenry - now
i'm going to apply a strong magnetic field to the coil and as you can see,
its inductance has dropped to, about fourty microhenry.
-- next scene --
connecting the coil to a dc power supply.

the yellow trace on the scope is the current, and the blue trace is the
voltage across the coil, there's an offset on the current of 180 milliamps,
so that we can zoom on the trace, and the scale is 5 milliamps per division,
and the scale of the voltage is ten millivolts per division.

and going to stop the oscilloscope, so we can read the values. there is
184milliamps and 14.25 millivolts across the coil. i'm applying a strong
magnetic field to the coil, so i am changing the inductance of the coil.
going to run… and stop the oscilloscope. now the values are 184.4milliamps
and 14.26 millivolts.

-- next scene --
to summarize: the inductance of the coil before the application of the
permanent magnet, is 306 millihenry, and after the application of a
permanent magnet its 40 microhenry

the energy stored in the inductor is half ali (??) squared
which before the application of the permanent magnet gives us 5.18
millijoules, and after the application of the permanent magnet, gives us
0.00068 millijoules, which is a variation of 99.9%.

on the voltage and current, the voltage before the application of the PM is
14.25 millivolts, after application of PM it's 14.26 millivolts, which gives
us a difference of 4.57 microvolts.

on the current, the current before the application of PM is 184.1 milliamps,
after application of PM it's 184.45 milliamps, gives us a difference of
355microamps.

the variations in the voltage and current are insignificant and are within
the rate of measurement accurancy and in no way can account for the
significant change in the energy stored in the inductor.

And it is unmitigated bovine scat.  Another obfuscation.

The claim is that the inductance will change in a CHANGING MAGNETIC
FIELD not a steady state field.  The dynamic field of the approaching
rotor magnet induces a charge in the windings which will show on the
meter as a changing inductance.  All they have shown is that the
RESISTANCE of the coil does not change in the windings immersed in a
constant magnetic field.

They know damn good and well they are obfuscating.  Several of us have
tried to post comments on that video and none get approved.

I am now convinced.  It's a scam.

 now i'm going to apply a strong magnetic field to the coil and as you

That's inductance with zero current flowing through the coil.  With a
ferro core the inductance isn't constant, as a function of current.

None the less, we can draw an interesting conclusion:  Lower inductance
means current rise time will be faster, and integral(I*V) is going to be
larger.  In other words, energy going into the system will be LARGER
when the coil is energized while there is a magnet near the coil than
when it is energized while there is not.

The difference is small -- but the mechanical output of this motor is
small, too.  Sean doesn't calculate or measure the difference in this
post, so we don't know how much of the work done by the motor this
difference would account for.

that's half Ell Eye squared


 which before the application of the permanent magnet gives us 5.18
 millijoules, and after the application of the permanent magnet, gives us
 0.00068 millijoules, which is a variation of 99.9%.

Bogus calculation.  The energy stored in the inductor is L*I^2/2 when,
and only when, L is constant, because in that case we have

1)  V = L*dI/dt   -- def of an inductor

2)  dI = (V/L)*dt  -- rearranged

3)  I = (V/L) * T  -- assuming V fixed, which is only true at low I,
before circuit resistance and R*I become significant

4)  dE = (V*I)*dt -- Increment of added energy

5)  dE = (V^2/L)*T*dt  -- Substitute (3) into (4)

6)  E  = V^2/L * T^2/2  -- Integral of (5), assuming V and L constant

Substitute (3) [T = I*L/V] into (6) and we obtain

7)  E = L * I^2 / 2

That's a sloppy derivation of the equation Sean was quoting.  However,
it's got enough detail to see that it's only valid, as I said, if L is
constant; otherwise we don't get equation (6) when we integrate equation
(5).

In this case L isn't constant, it varies with current (as the core
saturates), and the calculation required is a lot messier.  Consequently
the energy input is a lot messier, and the whole exercise is harder than
Sean has made out.

To find the energy going in and coming out, he needs to

a) Integrate the power using an integrating power meter or the integral
function on a fast scope  (that gets electrical power in but doesn't
tell us anything about losses in the core).  In particular, the power
going into the system during the time interval during which the current
*would* *be* increasing in the case where there is no magnet near the
inductor needs to be measured for that case *and* for the case where
there *is* a magnet near the inductor, in order to determine the
difference in energy input with motor on versus motor off.

b) Measure the heat generated in the core during coil turn-on and
turn-off.  That's so because the normal assumption that all the energy
that goes into fighting the BEMF will come out again when the current is
shut down isn't necessarily so when the core is being saturated.

Unless those are done, and until the mechanical power out is measured
or, at least, estimated, the power budget hasn't really been determined.


 on the voltage and current, the voltage before the application of the PM
 is 14.25 millivolts, after application of PM it's 14.26 millivolts,

As for the changing inductance in the changing external magnetic field,
I don't think that happens while the power's on, because the core's

All in all, the pieces which are apparently missing are still careful
measurement (or calculation) of power in/out during coil turn on/turn

Several people had stated that the existance of a change in inductance of the

that an externally caused change in inductance does not effect the current or 
voltage across the coil 

legendre:  
Ok - I can'tunderstand what lostcauses is saying most of the time either, but 
there is a very big difference between a change in inductance and a changing 
inductance. 

I'm not sure why you bothered with this experiment, as anyone who thinks that 
the status (or even the presence) of an inductor's core has some effect on 
itsDC resistance, has no place in this discussion.

Steorn:
Well mostly we did the experiment because Max felt that his accent was not
getting a significant enough profile.

But joking aside, it was an experiment worth doing. We do see the experimental 
sequence as being somewhat interactive, and we would like to keep this approach 
as much as is reasonable.

obfuscation of the facts from carefully controlled demonstrations on
Steorn's behalf. Both Terry and Stephen have given me much to think
about.

At present, I suspect the main reason I'm unwilling to believe it's a
con job is that I can't comprehend what Steorn would expect to get
from masterminding such an operation. I seem to be getting the
impression that both Terry and Stephen are also having difficulty in
trying to figure out what Steorn's motivations might be as well.
What's the pay off.

Running a deliberate con just doesn't make any sense to me. It also
raises my hackles in the Occam's Razor department. If what they are
doing is knowingly diversionary, a deliberate con job, isn't that
eventual grounds for criminal action against them?

I'm reminded of Deep Throat's advice: Follow the money. And since we
are trying to follow where the money might be coming from it seems to
me that only the true believers who stand to be conned out of their
money would be companies  corporations who end up purchasing licenses
in the hopes of building their own energizer bunny. For the most part,
the admiring and true-believing public are not in a position of being
fleeced.

Call me naive, but I'm still under the impression that Steorn hopes
that their spinny thing will eventually pan out. I'm more inclined
to speculate that Stoern continues to envision becoming filthy rich
from taking a tiny slice of all the profits from the licenses they

Hi Horace,  Since a week ago, after studying Holocene meteors  for a year 
via Google Earth and Maps and on the ground in New Mexico and Kauai, I've 
been really pleased to find two different extensive websites by other 
independent investigators -- Tim McElvain and his wife joined a nice group 
of five for last night's sharing, so I got to show off my collection of pet 
rocks.  I'll host at least two more sharings the next two Tuesdays.  If you 
tell me what city you live near, I can look up some Holocene meteor craters 
for you within two hundred miles.


Best regards. Rich Murray

 As for the changing inductance in the changing external magnetic field,
 I don't think that happens while the power's on, because the core's
 being held in a saturated state by the field from the coil.
 
 Are you explaining how to electronically eliminate back EMF?

No, not exactly.  There's already no back EMF with a toroidal coil.
(That's hard to show directly, but easy to show by conservation of
momentum.)

What I'm talking about is something a little different.  When a strong
external magnetic field acts on a ferromagnetic core, it may, if I
understand this correctly, actually put the core in a saturated state,
such that an additional B field which is aligned with the external field
won't result in any additional magnetization of the core.  If the B
field of the core doesn't increase with further increase in the applied
field, what that says is the *permeability* of the core has, in effect,
dropped.  The reduced permeability of the core means that the inductance
of the coil will be lower when the core is in this state than when it's
unsaturated.

So, changing the external field will change the inductance -- IF the
coil has no current flowing through it.  But, the inductance of this
coil is already not a fixed value; it varies with the current.  When the
current increases to the point where the core saturates, the inductance
drops, because the permeability of the core material has (in effect)
dropped.  In the case where the core is saturated by the effect of the
current in the coil, adding (or removing) an additional external field
may have no effect on the core, which may very well remain saturated
throughout the operation.  In that case, the permeability won't change
due to a change in the external field, and the inductance of the coil
won't change.

Clear?  (As mud?)

My grasp of saturation in magnets is pretty weak, unfortunately, and I
may be exposing my ignorance here.  Anybody with a better understanding
of magnets want to correct this?  Terry? Bill? Horace? Anybody?

Thanks for the reminder. They quote their own hand-picked jury's 
statement that there Orbo hasn't shown evidence of energy 
production. And immediately after that, all scientific truths began 
as blasphemies.


It just says scientific jury, 2009 as I recall. The implication is 
that this was a knee-jerk response based on blasphemy against the 
gods of theory. That's deceptive.


They are liars. But they were, in this, lying with the truth. That is 
still lying, it's the attempt to create an impression contrary to 
fact. It's highly skillful marketing. To an audience that includes 
some people who might toss in a few million dollars just for fun.


Sure, if they sell certain kinds of investments, with lies, it would 
be fraud. But I assume they will be quite careful about that.

 Money. From selling disclosure and from selling equipment to 
 investigate the phenomenon.

 No, not if they have been careful. Look, you pay to go see a famous 
 magician. He lies to you and diverts your attention, and you applaud. 
 Is that grounds for criminal action? Marketers lie about their 
 products all the time. Can you prosecute them for it?
 
 Depends, doesn't it? Puffery is not generally illegal. Fraud is. 
 Lying isn't fraud except under narrow circumstances.

 Really? What's the disclosure price? It's within range for small 
 pockets. Some corporations might toss in what is to them pocket 
 change, just in case. All they have to do is keep it looking 
 interesting enough.
 
 Call me naive, but I'm still under the impression that Steorn hopes
 that their spinny thing will eventually pan out.
 
 Sure. What does pan out mean. If it means they can walk with cash 
 in their pockets, legally, does that require that the thing actually 
 work. This is the true over-unity device they may have invented. How 
 to make money legally with a device that doesn't work except to get 
 some people really confused.
 
   I'm more inclined
 to speculate that Stoern continues to envision becoming filthy rich
 from taking a tiny slice of all the profits from the licenses they
 hope to sell.
 
 I doubt it at this point. Maybe at one point, then as it dawned on 
 them that it wasn't going to, instead of wasting their momentum, they 
 figured out how to sell what they have really found.
