Its a small world after all.........

We'll, who would have thought that Hector's RV would show up in the United States Air Force!! Polished, slicked-up'pt, and patent applied for. Imagine that. Page 12-13 of the attached PDF are revealing to say the least. And last is the link to the final product topology.
Perhaps I'm jumping to conclusions, what do you think?

I think that energy efficency dont play a role at the Army, but more efficency from destruction.
Also that the bureaucratic wheel is turning very slow and that they do not have an intention to advertise new technologie.
Therefor i dont wonder about, that they do not celebrate improvements.
Also i do not wonder about, that some from improvments there do not hit the market.

Hi jwpotts, Coupling a motor to a generator is not Hectors idea. The paper you
linked is talking about mainly high RPM motor generators for high power output in
a small package. Hectors stuff runs from 50/60 Hz for a few thousand rpm as far
as I know. And these things in the paper are spinning at 20 000 RPM plus mostly.

I still don't see any info that shows a rotoverter at over 100% efficiency.
If there is some solid evidence I would be happy to see it. And what is the
max power output/input of a rotoverter compared to an off the shelf motor ?
Is the rotoverter more efficient than a regular motor over a range of loads or a varying load without needing to change capacitors and such, in a variable load test.

These are some of the questions I would ask.
