A Look at Electrical Engineers Working On… Weird Things

May 8th, 2017

For decades, small communities of garage/backyard tinkerers have been researching free energy devices and freely sharing that information on the Internet. Mostly, the people doing this work have no training in electrical engineering and just use whatever junk that they happen to have scrounged from discarded televisions, microwave ovens, computer power supplies, etc. Some members of the community, however, are current and former electrical engineers and have personal labs in their own homes with many tens of thousands of dollars worth of precision equipment.

I’ve lurked on the threads for twenty years, just keeping one eye on any possible developments.

I’ve recently come across what I think is the best example of the most experienced engineers in this weird field working together to get to the bottom of something strange:

Investigating “anomalies” in Bifilar coils

In case you don’t want to read the whole thing, the frenzy and subsequent sanity checking begins around page 14.

In summary: There was a suspected COP > 1 measurement found in a circuit involving a bifilar coil. It was strange enough to tempt some of the guys out there in anomalous energy research land to dedicate time and resources to trying to figure out what was happening.

Obviously: Don’t get your hopes up.

Any time the power in and power out is less than a couple of watts, it’s just a matter of time until the thing is shown to be measurement error. I know that. I get it. And the people on the thread above it know it better than anyone.

But year after year, these guys are in their labs, continuing the search.

Many of these guys are on the thread above, but some aren’t…

In any event, thank you for all of your work over the years:
