Terrawatt Research LLC may have free energy now.

[Golden Mean]

Greetings All,

If you have seen this already, my apologies.

California company Terrawatt Research LLC has created generator technology that can extract energy at certain frequencies and has proven overunity effects.

Here's the links...

Terawatt Research LLC defies free energy stereotypes

Interactive Magnetic Oscillation

Looks promising. Any thoughts?
Ahimsa.

The former head of the FBI and CIA just happened to invent a free energy device UM.... can you say "theft"

Shame its power to weight ratio means no self contained unit this means no decentralization of the power grid, that's what we want. I hope the Orbo can take this self sufficiency (no power companies) concept to the people. Black light power, Hidro and energy by motion are Frankenstein (Monster) commercial power units that despite like TW being renewable and COP+1 ..THEY ARE OUT OF REACH FOR A SELF CONTAINED POWER CONCEPT...and not really "FREE" energy sadly..

So instead of you getting your current power Co name on your power bill, you get Terra watt or black light power. So is it really FREE energy?. If i had the money i would buy the technology and build self contained unit for the people not make big power stations.

Its about time we matured and stop making bondage for our selves..the universe has abundance, it belongs to ALL not a select few who subject one class so they can live a certain [toxic] lifestyle...I bet they could make 5-10Kw versions of this but will they? hmmm

It is certainly a strange story (regarding the people involved).

"Magnetic mechanical coupling" (for want of a better term, lol)... Does it work?

We have seen several people try this out in the last couple of years, and although i never heard it out-and-out claimed as such, it would appear that the idea behind it is that some of the drag from torque load on the secondary wheel is not seen on the first "prime mover" wheel; at least not as much drag as a "pulley and belt", or gear system would translate (which in traditional mechanically coupled systems is near "100%" plus the usual losses from friction). If they can get this power transference to be, say "70%" of full torque transfer... That makes OU at low levels "do-able" for an efficient electric generation system of conventional design on the secondary shaft.

For this reason, the concept does need study: Obviously if such a magnetic-coupled "invisible pulley" system allows torque to be drawn on the secondary shaft without transferring all of that load to the primary (there would be some of it, or even most of it, transferred.. but the pull from the magnets may allow some of that load to simply "disappear" from the primary because of "controlled slippage" in the secondary wheel where the pull strength of the magnets are slightly exceeded)... Then a Rotoverter prime mover running at the best possible efficiency ("idle" or near it, at "low drag" maximum RPM per Watt), or even a pulsed DC motor, could possibly allow for "OU" at the secondary shaft with a fully-loaded PM alternator... Only because not all of the drag from the alternator is seen at the prime mover.

And the "slippage rate" between the two wheels may have quite a lot of significance.. For instance, if it happened to correspond with a certain RPM and/or with a certain amount of slippage from load torque, depending on how the magnets embedded in the Primary Wheel were arranged, there could be magnetic flux forces built up between the wheels that actually help the effect along (and other RPM/torque combo's that make it worse). All that would need to be tested carefully.

This basic concept itself as described above, should it be valid, is too difficult for these people to get any significant Patent lock on.. There would be dozens of ways to implement this besides two side-by side-shafts (you could line up the wheels in-line, use a no-contact "universal joint", or try multiple secondary wheels off of one primary wheel), and the idea itself would be essentially Open Source whether they liked it or not

i notice on the article that as proof....the place used to "prove" their testing was Underwriters labs.....umm.....enough said?

oh it just gets better.......both the terrawatt and the TUV logo's....are.......pyramids

[ashtweth]

Funny Enough the CEO of Steorn wrote to them i think about helping them with correcting or making more accurate their torque measurements. Sean has extensive experience in this (Torque measurements)

UL = "Underwriter's Lavatory"

UL's standards for testing and safety are a joke in the testing world, that is for sure.

This is easily seen for yourselves at "Home Depot" Look for the cheapest possible light fixture they sell coming from China... The ones that state "don't use more than 60W" on them because they will burn up if you do. They will almost always have a "UL Approved" sticker on them

Lol people have over $200k tied up in their homes.... and they use a $2 light fixture that could burn it all down... And UL doesn't really care. They are *****s to the industry and always have been. This is also very true for resistive Space Heaters: Total crap manufacturing practices, and very serious fire hazards... and UL approved

I remember once that i had remodeled my attic, and one of the kids had his bedroom up there. It was cold in the winter, so he used a brand new space heater with built-in thermostat (the attic had no central heating ducts). Well, this space heater, only a month old, caught fire and nearly burned down my house (we caught it just in time, from the battery powered fire alarm). The fire department came, and took away the partially melted space heater... I said i WANTED that heater for evidence. They said they would give it back. They NEVER did. But the manufacturer's insurance co. paid me off big-time. That space heater was UL approved, and mine was not the only house it tried to burn down.... there were over 200 nationwide i found from that model. IT NEVER MADE THE NEWS of course, and there was no "re-call" of them; and i could NOT get it back from the Fire Department who told me that the government took it from them lol.

The Canadian requirements regime, "CSA", or the Euro one "CE Mark" (IEC Standards), or the other testing lab mentioned "TUV".. Are much stricter and have much better reps than UL... who, in the professional electronics industry (who know how hard it is to get approvals from REAL testing regimes), are considered an old and lame joke.
