George: I presume that channel 1 in the scope photo is the voltage
waveform.
What is the channel two waveform? It looks like the voltage across a
current sampling resistor in series with the solenoid. What is the
value of
the sampling resistor?
Terry: No, the input is a current probe:
Here are the specs (thanks Keith):

Here's a piccy in operation:

George: The mechanical energy output looks more difficult to verify.
The only proof of utility that would be convincing is a
self runner. Put an efficient permanent magnet generator on
the shaft and measure the electrical output as a next step
toward a self runner. An electrical to electrical energy comparison
would be more convincing.
Terry: Agreed on sefl-running. However, he only has about 2 Joules
per cycle to play with. His torque measurement device was custom make
and the sensor cost him $10k. BTW, for the next iteration, Paul has
publicly claimed he hopes to have a COP of 20 with plenty energy to
self run and drive an electric load.
Where are you located, George?
Terry
