No longer available. here is the new version.

OutBack Power Flex Max 60 MPPT solar power charge controller.

 

Found this interesting and worth a watch.

 

It is interesting, but it is an illusion. It is not possible to get more out than you put in. What is happening, is the ac being put is being converted into power for other motor (complete with power losses at each step. His answer is gobbly-gook and worthless. Diameter of the wheels? Hogwash. The larger the wheel, the longer the lever arm working AGAINST torque. (I'll let the engineer explain it, it will be more concise, and to the point).
A similar item took me in for a while, I though I had overlooked something that allowed it to work, but in truth all it was doing is changing the form of the same power as it moves through the machine. The end result is actually LESS that powering the motor direct would be. (Every stage or conversion adds a power loss)

 

He uses Rf energy or some craziness some of his other videos get more detailed.
I never said I believed it just found it interesting

 

I never delve deep enough to go out and purchase these items because I was raised in the real world lol
I don't believe perpetual energy is possible but using some of these ideas together someone could throw together a decent self sufficient system if it had solar wind or a generator to kickstart it.
I'm actually trying to piece together a system of this type myself.

 

The problem is, it does not actually produce power. It costs power. Drive your power system as directly as possible for best results.
Go directly from your solar, wind or hydro to your charging system. Any and all of this nonsense robs you of power at every step.

 

So one motor spinning 5 Altenators uses more energy then the Altenators make?

 

Yup

 

I guess that's the part I don't understand.

How much power does 5 200amp Altenators make at 3000 rpm?

 

ok I think I understand what your saying.
If I'm going to use a wind turbine or solar to power this motor to spin the Altenators than I'm better off going wind/solar to the batts.
Gotcha.

What systems do house boats use since those do seem to generate and sustain big power?

 

@BTPost

or tinfoil one wraps around one's lunch!

 

I'll take a dozen. They fission or fusion???

 

*Disclaimer*
I have not read the entire thread

I did, however, work with a guy who is from the UK (and he showed me the documentation and some newspaper clippings about it) who helped track down a guy stealing electricity from the BBC, yes, the TV/Radio people. The comment about RF energy reminded me. He had set up a tower (I think the term is an inductive coupler but not sure) and was literally creating a broadcast black hole behind him (in a triangle pattern) in line with the broadcast towers. He was taking RF energy and converting it back down to a "usable" form and charging battery banks.

Not free in the ultimate sense in that the BBC was pumping the power into their antennas, but in theory, on a different scale, electricity can be "captured" or "generated". The problem is that in order to capture a significant amount of energy, the apparatus has to be huge.

Look up Geomagnetically Induced Current sometime. It's there, it exists, but harnessing it is a bear.

And it doesn't violate any of the laws of thermodynamics, it just uses a power source outside of your control. There is loss in the capture, loss in the store and loss in the retrieval. I'm not talking tacheons or other crap, I'm just talking about the magnetic field that surrounds the planet.

**Bonus question**
If we were able to harness and convert even 1% of all Geomagnetically Induced Current worldwide, what would the affect be, if any, on the planet?

 

You would slow the world's rotation.

 

Kinda figured but haven't done the math.

The down side is that if you slowed the worlds rotation, it would affect the amount of GIC, so you'd have to gather a higher % to get the same "amount", which would eventually kill us all.

Better to go solar.
