I have always been fascinated by the ability of electrical components like resistors, capacitors and inductors to be connected in not just one way but two ways, in series and in parallel. But its not until recently that I have looked into the underlying formulas to determine how to utilize it in a favorable fashion energy-wise, yes I'm that lazy.
But before I present my idea I would like to elaborate on what the effect might be if there was two ways of adding masses into one, the “ordinary” way m=m1+m2, and a so far “unknown” way m=1/(1/m1+1/m2).
The formulas I will use are E=½*m*v² for kinetic energy and p=m*v for momentum.
Assume two masses with equal mass m. Accelerate them when they are added in the “ordinary” way to 2*m. When the acceleration stops they will have speed v, kinetic energy will be E=½*2*m*v² and momentum will be p=2*m*v. Now, rearrange the masses so that they are added in the “unknown” way to ½*m and assume Newton was right in that momentum will always be preserved. This means that to preserve momentum speed has to change like a departing UFO from v to 4*v so that p=2*m*v=½*m*4*v. If the new speed is 4*v the new energy is E=½*½*m*(4*v)²=4*m*v² which is 4 times higher than when the masses are added in the “ordinary” way.
COP=4.
Now lets do this with coils. Energy in a coil is E=½*L*I² and the entity corresponding to momentum would be the magnetic flux which is Φ=L*I. A battery, a switch and two windings on the same core are in series. Energize the coil and turn the switch off. Collect the flyback with a diode but just from *one* of the windings (or from both if they are rearranged and combined in parallel). If momentum is preserved, that is, if magnetic flux is preserved, the energy in the flyback is 4 times the input (minus losses) as above.
I have tried this without success so far, but my switch has either been a 2N3055 transistor which I guess is too slow, or a relay that just generates sparks and get stuck.
A spark-gap and a step-down transformer would probably do the trick. It seems like most OU-probable circuits have this in them somewhere.
So I tried another approach. Using the “stingo”-circuit (2N3055/2N2955) to energize a bifilar coil with its windings in series and capturing the flyback in a capacitor with a resistor in parallel as in the first pic I measured the voltage over the capacitor and resistor to 17.1 V. Then I connected one capacitor with a resistor on *each* winding as in the second picture, same type/size of capacitor and resistor and diode for each winding. This has the feeling of the two windings in parallel. I trimmed the circuit slightly to make it draw the same amount as in the first setup. The voltage over each capacitor and resistor was now 11.9 V. This is a slight gain in energy. (Edit: no its not, ill try new setups though...)
