The last update I received indicated that a new technique (not
necessarily involving LEDs nor excess photons) to generate significant
*excess heat* (instead of light) from the SEC circuit had been found by
Dr. Stiffler.
A more precise calorimeter was being constructed to quantify this, and
the resources of a well-known calorimetry expert have been enlisted to
verify any positive results (if they are indeed still to be found after
better measurement techniques are used to test for excess heat).
That is the limit of what I know now, but am hoping for an update
soon... others on that particular discussion group you mentioned have
apparently moved on to the next glimmer of gold in the pan; and it is
unlikely that anyone there will be of much help in adding to what has
been learned thus far.
This kind of instant gratification syndrome is emblematic of such groups
and even industry: the kind of "what have you done for me lately"
mentality which pervades almost ever facet of R&D these days. Too bad.
I have been involved in a low-key group replication effort for the
'excess light' version, which is NOT overunity but still important in
the larger context (for 'energy independence'). This is not an adjunct
to Dr.Stiffler's effort, which is considerably more advanced. In fact,
we are using college students, and it is a learning experience for all.
RF can be a strange beast.
Subwatt levels of RF are difficult to measure accurately as is net light
output; but the good news is that the SEC circuit is highly efficient in
terms of lm/watt, and does show approximately double the light output
per DC input, compared to the best results which have ever been reported
publicly by any manufacturer of LED lighting. At one time it looked like
it was much higher than that - but double is just fine.
We have some feelers out now to see if this is really unique, or if the
manufacturers (namely Cree and Nichia) have known all-along that RF is
more efficient than DC, but have been reluctant to implement that
finding for other reasons (cost). The FCC would be another reason, but
there are two spectrums of allowed frequency which work with LEDs (13.56
MHz for instance, which is used by RFID and RC hobbyists)
There are indeed patents which indicate that they (the LED industry)
have known about the advantage of RF for some time (but not in the
"one-wire" Avramenko version). It is possible that the lower life
expectancy of the bulbs negates the efficiency advantage; but more
likely that RF versions of LED lighting are already underway
elsewhere.... (especially China). It would not be the first time that
others have unknowingly tapped into a group "meme" which was supposed to
be a big secret.

The last comment from Canam101 over at the Overunity discussion group states:
"This thread seems to have died. Has everyone given up trying to get
OU from the circuit, or are big things happening behind the scenes?
Can we expect an announcement soon of something big?"

What's happening in Stifflerland these days?
