[Vo]:OT: Science of motivation

2010-02-26 Thread Harry Veeder
This is not one of those motivational talks.
Harry

Career analyst Dan Pink examines the puzzle of motivation, starting
with a fact that social scientists know but most managers don't:
Traditional rewards aren't always as effective as we think. Listen for
illuminating stories -- and maybe, a way forward.

That's right. It's the same old issue we've seen over and over again,  
and discussed here ad nauseam.  The I*V is not a measure of power  
when there are phase angles, transient demand, varying frequencies,  
or square waves involved. It takes a fast integrating power meter to  
measure input power.  This applies to battery DC input to a device  
with these kinds of power demands as well.


Another issue is there is no apparent measurement of power output. As  
we have seen before, driving LEDs with transients can cause the  
perception of an amount of light that requiring more power than  
actually used. It appears the power produced is a small proportion of  
the power applied.


Lastly, as we all know, if there is a claim of significant overunity,  
then the loop has to be closed for the claim to be credible.


I see no reason to think the device is not a transformer that works  
by displacing a high mu material field.  This is not a new idea.   
There are commercially produced power supply transformers that work  
on this principle. They are not overunity.

Thanks Harry,

One of many hats I wear at my place of employment involves software
development.

Dan Pink hit it on the nail.

While the concept of Fed Ex time might terrify many managers they
would do well to let it be. Besides, they can later claim the fruits
of Fed Ex dabbling as actually having been one of their own novel
ideas - and subsequently collect a nice bonus at the end of the year.

 It takes a fast integrating power meter to measure input power.  This applies 
 to 
 battery DC input to a device with these kinds of power demands as well.

The controller is powered by DC. He measures voltage and current going
into into the controller. The controller converts this to electrical
pulses which feed the toroidal coil, so don't these measurements give you an 
upper bound on the input power?

 
 Another issue is there is no apparent measurement of power output. As we have 
 seen before, driving LEDs with transients can cause the perception of an 
 amount 
 of light that requiring more power than actually used. It appears the power 
 produced is a small proportion of the power applied.


I sent him an email asking for the wattage of the LEDs.


 
 Lastly, as we all know, if there is a claim of significant overunity, then 
 the 
 loop has to be closed for the claim to be credible.

Probably not...

No.  THey give a lower bound.

Definitely not.  Their performance was measured in the high 90's  
percent range if I recall. They were similar to the Fig. 1 drawing I  
sent, except they had 8 (or more) legs instead of two. This kept  
the permanent magnet flux more constant and permitted an 8 (or more)  
phase output which was rectified to make DC.  They were used in  
electronics power supplies.  That's all I remember.   I wouldn't know  
how to find them without doing a patent search, which is how I  
originally found them in the first place, I think.  It was years ago.
