The set of videos is too long for me to watch now. But my immediate impression.
The demonstrations are technically far more complex, they *look* much
better. But it still seems like a snow job. Actual description of the
details of the motor seem to be missing, and there are lots of
statements that miss and don't address the fact that it would only
take a relatively small amount of energy transfer during a transient,
and there are lots of transients, to cause the rotor to accelerate.
It amounts to hand-waving.
The man keeps saying "absolutely no back-EMF." He claims that the
energy output is greater than the input, but he says that again and
again without showing a measurement of this. "Next week," he says.
Steorn is bypassing the normal process of revelation of a new
discovery. Why? I've already speculated why. He's not selling energy,
he's selling "technology" or access to information. If he reveals the
real scoop, he's got nothing to sell if he doesn't have patents. And
he doesn't. If he has a working model that is over unity, he could
get a patent, he'd have to submit the model, I believe. And it would
have to work.
That's not "building motors or generators," that's demonstrating the
effect. Basically, it's blatant: he's blowing smoke, a *prediction*
that the effect can be used to generate power. He hasn't done
calorimetry, they are "working with a German company." And they "will
be doing" this or that test.
Okay, I kept watching. Questioner asked why they weren't using
capacitors instead of a battery, for all the reasons we discussed.
And the answer was essentially to first give a bullshit answer, that
a capacitor couldn't supply the "instantaneous current" needed. Put
enough capacitance in there and and you could vaporize the conductors
if you shorted it. And then, when the questioner asked a little more,
he asked him to "dream the dream a bit" and talked about how
important this could be. In other words, please stop asking this
inconvenient question....
