Stephen ,
Anyhow, sorry if I've gotten a little too intense on this, Jones.
No problemo. Apology accepted on behalf of Ron Stiffler (I hope).
BTW he posted this today on another site:
"Let me post some worst case figures for you to look over. My single
coil, driven by a Colpitts Oscillator drawing 5mA into an impedance
converter drawing 20mA from 12 volts.
12 x 2.5E-2 = 0.300 or 300 mW input.
Driving 75 LEDS in series with a forward drop each of 3.2 -3.8 volts
with 4mA in the series chain. Lets use the low forward drop;
75 x 3.2 = 240 volts therefore 240 x 4E-3 = 0.960 or 960 mW
Do you all understand? and this is worst case."
OK. This is an ostensible (apples-to-oranges) COP of over 3.
There is room for improvement. He ran out of the best LEDs (white
ultra-brites) as you can see in the video, and had to substitute some
blues. A new shipment of whites is possibly already there.
The solar collector you saw in the video was possibly slightly less
efficient than 30%. However there are collectors which are slightly more
than 30% and will very likely self-power the unit, even with no
improvement.
Consequently, I am convinced that very soon - BUT - have not been told
this by Ron Stiffler, as he is a very cautious person, but my belief is
that very soon, sooner than you may think, you will witness what may be
the first device in the history of science to draw on the hidden power
source which is generally called ZPE.
There is a small (tiny) chance that there is some kind of other
radiation, not ZPE, not AM or FM nor even normal RF - but possibly the
result of a secret of "black" government project which provides the
power. There is also the larger possibility that the LEDs can cohere
terahertz radiation (heat) - we simply DO NOT KNOW what is powering all
this light emission yet. If Ron knows, he has not told me.
BTW - let me mention that Ron works with many smart folks who are far
more knowledgeable than me, and I am not any kind of confidant nor
adviser. I may often mistakenly express sentiment that is NOT his.
I think everyone on this forum knows that I have an almost
religious-like commitment to finding a viable source of non-fossil
alternative energy. And to that end, will continue to post anything
which portends to address that problem, despite whatever criticism other
vorticians wish to inflict. My skin is thick enough to put a rhino to
shame; and I will dish the dirt back-at-ya as well, if you cross the
line of normal civility, which is what happened here.
Let me say with full conviction, as of today (may change next week) that
this is by far the most exciting device which I have ever witnessed in
such detail and robustness, for its potential in solving *part* of the
energy crisis (after discounting the down-side).
After all- if it is just for "lighting" alone, that is OK - lighting is
something like a third of all electric usage.
