The controller is powered by DC. He measures voltage and current going

give you an upper bound on the input power?
No. THey give a lower bound.
Another issue is there is no apparent measurement of power output.
As we have
seen before, driving LEDs with transients can cause the perception
of an amount
of light that requiring more power than actually used. It appears
the power
produced is a small proportion of the power applied.
I sent him an email asking for the wattage of the LEDs.
Lastly, as we all know, if there is a claim of significant
overunity, then the
loop has to be closed for the claim to be credible.
I see no reason to think the device is not a transformer that
works by
displacing a high mu material field. This is not a new idea.
There are
commercially produced power supply transformers that work on this
principle.
They are not overunity.
Probably not...
Definitely not. Their performance was measured in the high 90's
percent range if I recall. They were similar to the Fig. 1 drawing I
sent, except they had 8 (or more) "legs" instead of two. This kept
the permanent magnet flux more constant and permitted an 8 (or more)
phase output which was rectified to make DC. They were used in
electronics power supplies. That's all I remember. I wouldn't know
how to find them without doing a patent search, which is how I
originally found them in the first place, I think. It was years ago.
