When Mills described his latest device, it wasn't clear to me how he was delivering the water along with his molten silver droplets. In the previous incarnation of his machine, he has porous solid pellets that were delivered into the discharge with water in the porosity. Now he has switched to

Sorry, I mis-counted my divisions ... the supercaps would expire after 16.7 MINUTES - they are only rated for 1M discharges, so at 1000/sec, you get 1000sec or 16.7 minutes. On Sun, Feb 7, 2016 at 8:45 AM, Bob Higgins wrote: > One of the things I noticed in Mills'

One of the things I noticed in Mills' apparatus is his use of supercaps - in this case Maxwell P285 supercaps. Supercaps sound great until you dig into the details. Supercaps are somewhere between a battery and a capacitor in specifications. One of the core specifications that is a problem for

Back EMF (counter-electromotive force) and Lenz Law are explained on Wiki better than anyone here can do it. Neither offers a pathway to overunity. As for question #2, a Faraday disk generator can be built which is immune to Lenz Law, but it is not gainful for other reasons, see

1) As you know, inserting a bar magnet into a solenoid produces an electric current in that solenoid. The cause of such current was named EMF. (which is the difference of potential, in Volts, not a force in Newtons). 2) Consider a simple circuit -- a battery, a switch, and a solenoid,

The Maxwell P285 ultracaps are only rated to an absolute max of 2000A. Also, their ESR is 0.22 milli-ohms. I calculated the resistance of each of the copper feed rods to be about 0.11 milli-ohms (copper, 1cm diameter, 500cm long). I presume the droplet shorts the gap because 5V is not enough

If you look at slide 36, he seems to be supplying H2/H2O into the hot chamber not far from the electrodes. When the system is pretty cold, perhaps H2 is added as the atmosphere so that it is everywhere in the chamber when he starts discharging through the Ag droplets. After it gets to several

Bob, if each drop requires 100 joules of energy to vaporize then Mills will need 100 kilowatts of power when 1000 shots per second is the cycle rate. That amount of drive would seriously impact the COP figure that he is achieving. Do you recall any mention of the number of joules required to

As a high school freshman I won a blue ribbon at a science fair for my electrostatic generator wherein I dropped water drop by drop past my two electrical contacts which in turn made a tiny neon tube light up in a flash. Perhaps Randy has been dropping drops of water with colloidal silver.

Back EMF of a motor is typically due to the motor acting as a generator. I find that it is easier to understand when you consider the operation of a DC motor. Picture a DC motor with a large inertial mass loading it. Once it has reached operating rotational speed the mass will contain a

"billions of watts per liter" is car salesman talk. You can get billions of watts per liter of gasoline in chemical reaction if you can detonate it quickly enough. Now, in Watt-hours/liter or J/L, that would be a more material remark. In the end, who cares about how many liters of water it
