I don't think you can close the loop on 2 Joules per cycle. There are
too many inefficiencies in the generation and transformation of the
pulse energy.
The torque transducer was necessary for the development of EMILIE.
This is like a 5th generation prototype. The next step is to create a
demostration unit with a COP of 20.
Here is an image of the axial flux alternator that I think Paul said he
would use in the demonstration unit.

Wouldn't it be relatively trivial to close the loop on this one -
instead of having his $10k torque measurer, why not stick a (cheaper)
generator on the shaft feeding a capacitor smoothed power supply for
the electromagnet? Far more convincing than possibly dodgy oscilloscope
measurements of power in vs power out...
