Wow. Way to get fired up over nothing. If you have bothered to read the 3BGS thread, you would know that we have been running a DC motor as a motor AND a generator at the exact same time for like 10 years now, and have disclosed the circuit to do that with an off the shelf DC motor countless times. Set it up, measure the input to the motor and the output FROM the motor and you will see that's EXACTLY what is happening, and without all the complicated switching. So PLEASE don't tell me I "DO NOT GET IT" Just because I am finding a different way through the forest does not mean it isn't a "way" and it may be better than yours.
You deride me for comparing "input" to "output". I don't. I never have. I stated very clearly that I compare the power USED by the system, regardless of input (since better that 80% can be recovered) to power output by the system. By power used, I mean power that has been input into the system and for a variety of reasons, is no longer available to do work. Whether it be friction losses,losses in the circuit itself or whatever. And I put it in EXACTLY those terms, and emphasized that I do NOT consider power that is recovered as power "used" by the system, regardless of input. The comparison of power USED in watts vs power produced in watts is necessary to evaluate what you have. If you can't understand that it is of no use to build a machine that puts out 300 watts if it consumes 400 watts to produce it, then I feel bad for you.
If you will notice, I ALSO admitted that there might be a way to run this generator as both a motor and a generator. I said that. It's right there in writing. I also said I have yet to see a way to do that which is more productive than what I have. MY goal is to get a unit out there that incorporates all the things that I have learned that make a system COP>3 and probably MUCH better than THAT, so that others can replicate and improve on it. If YOU choose to show us how to make it run as BOTH a motor and a generator to eliminated the need for the external motor, and it produces MORE out for the same amount consumed, I would beHAPPY to throw the motor away. But you won't do that will you? You would rather just argue about who is smarter and who has the better machine instead of working for the common good. Building the best machine I can build with what I know now is what I am going to do. YOUR whining about what I know and what I don't know isn't going to stop me. Then you can show us how yours is sooooooooooo much better. But you won't do that will you? Didn't think so.
