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...
